Bad news for the cult of Cudi: After breaking his heel Sunday by jumping off the stage at Coachella, Kid Cudi has cancelled his upcoming tour in support of new album Insano. In a video message to fans from his hospital bed Monday, Cudi said he hoped he could be healed up in time to launch the tour in late June. Now, in an Instagram message, he confirms his recovery will be way too long to allow for this summer’s plans to proceed.

After responding to Kendrick Lamar and his other foes with “ Push Ups ,” Drake unleashed a second diss track at K.dot over the weekend.

Until this week, Corridor hadn't released an album in half a decade. They've made good use of that time. The Montréal band have always put their own spin on post-punk, mixing a tight, jittery rhythm section with a florid and expansive melodic palette and the firepower to really and truly rock out. Those tendencies remain on new album Mimi , but it's all elevated into holographic state, sometimes smeared and blurry, sometimes stunningly crystalline.

For a while there, Normani Kordei seemed primed for the biggest solo career of all the Fifth Harmony alumni. She had late 2010s hits with Khalid (“Love Lies”) and Sam Smith (“Dancing With A Stranger”). Her 2020 “ Motivation ” video was a minor sensation online, and the brilliant 2021 Cardi B collab “ Wild Side ” was a real-deal rap and R&B radio smash.

She hasn't released anything since 2022, when she dropped “ Fair ” and popped up on a Calvin Harris album.

For the 2021 movie Electric Jesus , about a fictional '80s religious metal band called 316, Daniel Smith of the quirky Christian underground rock band Danielson wrote a bunch of fake Christian hair metal songs . The film's soundtrack also included “Come And Save Me,” an epic eight-minute Danielson song in the band's usual theatrical indie-pop style (i.e. more like Danielson pal Sufjan Stevens' early work, not like the hair metal pastiche of 316). “Come And Save Me” uses lyrics penned by Larry Norman, the cult-favorite Jesus People singer-songwriter whose rapture ballad “I Wish We'd All Been Ready” has been covered by artists like DC Talk and Jordin Sparks.

Pearl Jam visited their fellow ’90s icon Howard Stern’s SiriusXM radio show this week to promote new album Dark Matter. We posted a bunch of interview clips from the show on Wednesday, and now several performance videos have gone live.
