Trampled By Turtles' Dave Simonett Charts New Solo Path With ‘Red Tail’ Album: Exclusive

Amid the ongoing coronavirus crisis, one New Jersey elementary school teacher and his beloved pit bull are spreading a message of kindness and inspiration.

For much of the decade, Kim Jun-myeon has been better known by his stage name Suho. A member and the leader of K-pop boy band EXO, the singer -- whose stage name means "guardian" -- spent his twenties performing across the globe, releasing multiple hits in South Korea and selling millions of copies of albums worldwide since the band's start in 2012.

Octavia Spencer is no stranger to playing inspiring women, and in her new miniseries, she's portraying a real-life icon.

By now some, if not all of us have accepted that our social lives are on pause for the foreseeable future.

Florida rapper-singer Rod Wave has revealed the release date of his sophomore album: Pray 4 Love is out April 3 (via Alamo/Geffen). He’s also shared the record’s title track and its music video. Watch the “Pray 4 Love” video below.

The Monophonics heard on the new It's Only Us -- out March 13 and premiering exclusively below -- sound a bit different from the band that recorded 2015's Sound of Sinning or 2012's In Your Brain. And as excited as he is by that personally, frontman Kelly Finnigan understands the San Francisco Bay Area troupe is asking fans to make the musical stretch with them.

Composer, artist, and producer Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith is back with a new album called The Mosaic of Transformation. It’s out May 15 via Ghostly. In a statement, Smith said, “This album is my expression of love and appreciation for electricity.” Listen to a new 10-minute song from the album, “Expanding Electricity,” below.

The band have penned a new song called 'Orwellian'

"It’s time to make the Raawwwkkk !!!"

"I’m fucking excited for people to hear it"

Kendrick Lamar and frequent collaborator Dave Free have launched pgLang, which is described in a press release as “a new multi-lingual, at service company.” The press release continues, “pgLang is at service to creators and projects that selflessly speak with, and for, the shared experiences that connect us all.”

Even though Idina Menzel sang "I'm sorry, secret siren, but I'm blocking out your calls" in her Aurora-assisted "Into the Unknown" song from Frozen 2, Aurora's ethereal vocals shimmer under their own spotlight in a new solo version of the track.
