Donald Glover surprise releases new album via live stream

Dua Lipa is one of the only musicians who has decided to continue to release music during the global lockdown.

Fiona Apple has announced her first album in eight years. Fetch the Bolt Cutters is getting a digital release on April 17. She announced the release date in the video below, which was shared via the Fiona Apple Rocks Tumblr page. That account often posts personal video messages from Apple (including a recent one where she hinted that she was thinking about releasing the album “really soon”). (Apple’s representative confirmed the release date.)

Has Dennis Quaid lost his mind? No, it turns out he just loves a good April Fools' Day joke. And at a time when we could all use a good laugh; the actor and musician is introducing his new podcast in the form of a hilarious promo video.

Dua Lipa was initially conflicted about releasing her new album amid a global crisis but then realized it was in fact the perfect time for Future Nostalgia.

Dua Lipa is keeping us dancing during self-isolation!
