Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music CriticPaul McCartney has something to prove. What that is is between him and his shrink, although maybe a desire to seem and feel undiminished is not as mysterious as all that.

Kendrick Lamar‘s music video for ‘The Heart Part 5’ has launched a partnership with South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone.Although Lamar directed and executive produced the video himself, it features a deepfake blending his face into those of OJ Simpson, Jussie Smollett, Nipsey Hussle, Kobe Bryant and Kanye West.The deep fake was brought to life by Deep Voodoo, Parker and Stone’s studio specialising in the technology, according to Variety.Take a look at the video for ‘The Heart Part 5’ here:It marks the first collaboration between Lamar and Deep Voodoo, which made its first major steps with Sassy Justice in 2020, with the publication suggesting more projects to follow.In a five-star review of ‘The Heart Part 5’, NME wrote: “Lamar’s comeback takes a political stance, which is similar to his second album ‘To Pimp A Butterfly’ — hence the reference Obama, who was in the White House when it was released.“Like the 44th president, Kendrick is an emotive speaker and ‘The Heart Part 5’ finds him trying to get his crime-riddled neighbourhood to change.” Meanwhile in South Park news, the show announced a 25th anniversary live concert featuring performances from Primus and Ween.The special “one night only” event will take place at the Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado on August 10.The show is set to “celebrate 25 years of the music of South Park” with Parker and Stone also due to be in attendance on the night.“We’re so excited to go home and play at Red Rocks, a place that’s been known for hosting the most legendary artists and musicians.

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorIt took a village to create Kendrick Lamar’s mind-melting new video for his song “The Heart Part 5,” which on the surface is just him performing in front of a red backdrop until you realize that his face deepfakes into those of OJ Simpson, Jussie Smollett, Nipsey Hussle, Kobe Bryant and Kanye West (who, ironically, himself dropped a video the same day using deepfake technology).While the video was directed and executive produced by Lamar and longtime collaborator Dave Free and features a host of creative collaborators (listed below), the deep fake is credited to Deep Voodoo, a studio launched by “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone to specialize in the technology — and the “The Heart Part 5” video appears to be the first fruit of a partnership between Lamar’s PGLang company and the “South Park” founders’ Park County banner to produce a new feature film for Paramount Pictures. (While Lamar, Parker, Stone and reps for PG Lang and Deep Voodoo all declined Variety’s requests for an interview about.) The Deep Voodoo studio — the name of which almost certainly was chosen in part for its phonic similarity to the term “deep doodoo” — made its first major splash late in 2020 with “Sassy Justice,” a spoof of a television investigative report on deep fakes done in collaboration with actor Peter Serafinowicz.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says it is clear now that Russian President Vladimir Putin is responsible for “heinous war crimes” following a surprise visit to the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.The superstars performed such U2 classics as “With or Without You” and “Angel of Harlem” along with a cover of Ben E. King’s “Stand by Me” — although they changed the lyrics to “Stand by Ukraine.”“President Zelensky invited us to perform in Kyiv as a show of solidarity with the Ukrainian people and so that’s what we’ve come to do,” the band tweeted from its official account in a message signed by Bono and The Edge — who played acoustic guitar for the makeshift subway concert.The U2 frontmen apparently chose to perform in the central Kyiv subway station because Ukraine’s transit stations have become de facto bomb shelters for residents to hide from Russian attacks. Videos on social media captured the moving event in the Eastern European country’s capital city.Bono and The Edge were accompanied for part of the performance by the Ukrainian band Antytila, whose member Taras Topolia joined the country’s military to fight off the Russians and can be seen singing in his military fatigues. Antytila recently collaborated with Ed Sheehan to raise money for the Ukrainian war effort.The U2 performance comes a month after Zelensky made a special address at the Grammys urging US musicians to use their platforms and talents to “tell the truth about” the war.“Fill the silence with your music!” Zelensky said at the time.

U2 singer Bono and guitarist, Dave “The Edge” Evans performed Sunday at the Khreschatyk subway station in Kyiv to bolster spirits in the war-torn Ukraine.

Bono and The Edge made a surprise visit to Ukraine this weekend to show their support of the nation during the ongoing Russian invasion.
