Bon Jovi have announced a new album, Forever, out June 7th via Island Records. As a preview, the band has unveiled the video for its lead single, “Legendary.”
The pop-country-tinged track is anthemic and positive, fueled by major chords, “whoa-oh” choruses, and Jon Bon Jovi’s charismatic presence. The singer has battled vocal issues in recent years, but his voice sounds clean on the verses as backing vocals by the rest of the band supplement the song’s chorus.
“This record is a return to joy,” said Jon Bon Jovi via a press release. “From the writing, through the recording process, this is turn up the volume, feel good Bon Jovi.”
Bon Jovi are celebrating their 40th anniversary as a band this year. In addition to the new album, a career-spanning Hulu docuseries, Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story, is set to premiere on April 26th.

Nick Cave’s 2009 novel The Death of Bunny Munro is being adapted for a limited television series, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Matt Smith, best known for his roles in House of the Dragon, Doctor Who, and The Crown, is set to star in and produce the series.
“Finally, someone with the courage to take on this unholy tale,” Cave said in a statement. “I am thrilled that Sky and Clerkenwell Films are bringing Bunny to life, in all his flawed glory, and I can think of nobody better than Matt Smith to play him.”
The TV series will follow Smith as Munro, a traveling beauty product salesman and sex addict in Brighton, England. Faced with the aftermath of his wife’s unexpected suicide, Munro sets out on the road with his son — who idolizes him. Their trip holds severe roadblocks, as Munro faces his mortality and Munro Junior reckons...

Nick Cave’s iconic post-punk band The Birthday Party are the subject of the new documentary Mutiny in Heaven from filmmaker Ian White, and in a newly released first look at the project, the band look back on the “monstrous beast” that was their live show. Check out the clip below.
The Birthday Party were sort of like The Velvet Underground; they may not have sold a ton of records, but everyone who did pick up a release from the group was probably inspired to make music of their own. Of course, the Melbourne/London/Berlin band skewed much darker than the New York art rockers, and their live gigs often erupted into violence.
Nick Cave, Mick Harvey, Rowland S. Howard, and Phil Calvert look back on those turbulent days in a new clip, appropriately titled “A Monstrous Beast Live.” Thanks to a lot of drugs and alcohol, as well...

Nick Cave and Debbie Harry have linked up for a cover of Jeffrey Lee Pierce’s “On the Other Side.” It’s the first single from The Task Has Overwhelmed Us, an upcoming tribute album dedicated to the late Gun Club bandleader.
The Task Has Overwhelmed Us is the fourth installment of the Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Project series, in which Cave and Harry are regulars: They’ve previously done renditions together of “Free to Walk” on 2009’s We Are Only Riders, “The Breaking Hands” from 2012’s The Journey Is Long, and “Into the Fire” from 2014’s Axels and Sockets.
The focus of the series is to flesh out demos Pierce began before he died of a cerebral hemorrhage in 1996. On their version of “On the Other Side,” the Bad Seeds and Blondie vocalists — both of whom Pierce admired a lot — spend the majority of the song singing in unison,...

The recent Nintendo Direct delivered plenty of surprise announcements. Nobody could have predicted a Super Mario RPG remake or a new Detective Pikachu game, but nothing surprised audiences more than the reveal of Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
To be frank, most gamers probably expected a Super Mario Odyssey sequel rather than another 2D Super Mario Bros. game, but, judging by the trailer, Super Mario Bros. Wonder will be a worthy addition to any Switch owner’s library. Plus, even though the video teased some of the game’s features and levels, it might have revealed so much more than that.
From Wonder Seeds to Elephant Luigis, here are some of the most notable secrets I spotted in Super Mario Bros. Wonder‘s trailer.

Rissi Palmer had a brief brush with the country-music mainstream in 2007 when her song “Country Girl” made it onto Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. Its success makes her one of only three Black women, alongside Linda Martell and Mickey Guyton, to have ever achieved the feat with a solo recording.
“If that doesn’t tell you everything that you need to know about the business, I don’t know what to say,” Palmer says in the opening moments of her new documentary Still Here, which begins airing March 24 at 9 p.

“That was a series of challenges,” three-time Emmy Award-winning production designer Elisabeth Williams declares with regard to creating a wartorn Chicago in the fourth season of Hulu‘s “The Handmaid’s Tale,” which kickstarted its 10-episode run with three episodes on April 28. In our exclusive video interview (watch above), Williams talks us through the work that went into creating a ruined version of the aforementioned American metropolis as well as a number of other striking sets in season 4.
On the run after smuggling 86 children and nine Marthas across the Canadian border, June (Elisabeth Moss) and a group of other handmaids betake themselves to a farmhouse for shelter at the outset of the fourth season. On this subject, Williams explains how she and her team wanted to make clear that “we were no longer in the Boston Gilead that we knew,” while also wanting to explore how a Commander who resides in the countryside lives.

The music world has lost a true icon: Anita Lane, the Bad Seed who helped redefine the spirit of evil in rock & roll. “Once there came a storm in the form of a girl,” Nick Cave famously sang, and for many fans, Anita Lane was that storm. She was a key Cave collaborator, but also an artist and cult figure in her own right, with solo gems like Dirty Pearl and Sex O’Clock. She co-wrote classics like “From Her to Eternity” and “Stranger Than Kindness,” the song that provided...

As a solo artist, Lane wrote dark, luscious chamber pop that owed a debt to Burt Bacharach and Serge Gainsbourg. Her light, airy falsetto had a knack for cutting through collaborator Mick Harvey’s arrangements. As a lyricist working with the Birthday Party and the Bad Seeds,...

When Ane Crabree had a difficult time coming up with the costumes for the Unwomen toiling in the radioactive Colonies in Season 2 of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” she once again relied on a musical mashup for inspiration: “This Bitter Earth,” a combination of the melancholy Dinah Washington ballad and Max Richter’s sublime “Nature of Daylight.” In fact, “This Bitter Earth” served as her personal anthem for a season devoted to loneliness, isolation, and motherhood.
“I had a hard time starting,” said Crabtree. “How do we top that beautiful visual that we created in Season 1? The first thing I could think of was Russian propaganda posters in a kind of ‘work makes life free.’ I applied the paintings that Van Gogh did of the farmers late in his career. There is a promise of utopia in that. Another influence was the desaturation of Andrew Wyeth, which fit perfectly with the Colonies.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched “Seeds,” the fifth episode of the second season of “The Handmaid’s Tale.”
Sometimes “The Handmaid’s Tale” showrunner Bruce Miller wants his Hulu dystopian drama to inspire the audience, and sometimes he wants the audience to inspire the characters in the show.
This is why, after a season and four episodes of allowing the audience to get “a sense of optimism from June, it was time to return the favor,” he tells Variety.
In the fifth episode of the second season, entitled “Seeds,” Offred/June’s (Elisabeth Moss) spirit is broken by being back in Gilead after the near-escape in the first part of the season.
