• Are These Three New Katy Perry Songs?

    All has been quiet on the Katy Perry music front lately, but it appears that something has been brewing in the "Dark Horse" singer's lab of late. As to be expected with any large pop star, there have been rumors and plenty of speculation from die-hard fans, but nothing concrete as of yet. That seems to have changed. According to the résumé of decorated mixer Serban Ghenea via "Popjustice," there are three new Katy Perry songs that he has worked on, titled "She's So Creepy," "In Flames" and "Heartache Crusade."Check out his résumé in the document here and skip to Page 4 of 23 to see the evidence. Ghenea has mixed for artists like Keith Urban, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Kesha, One Direction, Rihanna, Usher, Katy Perry and more. He has worked on just about every big pop star of the past 15 years in music.The song "She's So Creepy" could be throwing shade at Taylor Swift and would bring their public tiff to a new level from the occasional comment and social media jab into discographies. Katy Petty would be pulling a Taylor Swift by writing a song about an enemy. The irony.

"Whenever an instrumental thing comes out, we know what it's going to sound like. But I really enjoy playing like that, and I promised myself when I first did it, 'I'm gonna do some country picking on here. I don't know if anybody will like it, but I'm gonna do it, and see what happens.' And people really enjoy it."Check out the tour dates below, via ANTI:

  • Bradley Cooper Shreds Air Guitar on Neil Young's 'Down by the River' for Jimmy Fallon on 'The Tonight Show' [WATCH]

    Bradley Cooper is one of Hollywood's biggest stars. His upcoming film, "American Sniper," is creating some serious awards buzz while the reviews of his Broadway performance in "The Elephant Man" have been positive. It turns out that Cooper has a few other talents, though, including some serious chops as an air guitarist. During a recent visit to "The Tonight Show," the actor showed Jimmy Fallon and his audience how well he knows Neil Young's "Down by the River" on the air ax.Cooper made it clear that his musical talents are not widely known during his hilarious interview with Fallon."I play an air guitar," he says in the clip below. "There's one song by Neil Young that I feel like, I don't know if everybody knows this, so I'm proud I know it. It's just the guitar solo of 'Down by the River.'"Cooper could not explain why he memorized that particular song, but it is obvious that he is a fan. While wearing a ridiculous wig — it is kind of a thing for the pair now — the actor stood up and plucked his invisible Gibson Les Paul, much to the delight of the host and viewers. Roots guitarist Kirk Douglas took over the duties before the show went to a commercial break.
  • Sam Smith Defends Decision To Visit SeaWorld Australia With Boyfriend Jonathan Zeizel

  • Keyshia Cole Shares 'New Nu' Music Video [WATCH]

    R&B star Keyshia Cole has shared the music video for her Mike Will Made-It-produced single "New Nu," which you can check out below. The video features Cole and her friends in a pretty intense boys vs. girls paintball match, intercut with some — pretty ridiculous looking — shots of Cole standing in front of a green screen with diamonds and hundred-dollar bills cascading in the background. It is not entirely clear what paintball has to do with breaking up with a man who has done you wrong, but we will take it.You can check out Keyshia Cole's music video for "New Nu" here:
  • The Prodigy Announce Album 'The Day Is My Enemy' Release Date, Tracklist

    The news that all Prodigy fans have long been waiting for has finally arrived. The "Firestarter" group has dished the details on their upcoming artist album, "The Day Is My Enemy," slated for release March 30. Liam Howlett, Keith Flint and Maxim Reality have revealed the tracklist for the 14-track album as well via a post on the band's website."The Day Is My Enemy" will be the sixth album in The Prodigy's storied 20-plus-year discography and their first in six years. Fans have been eagerly waiting for the follow-up to 2009's "Invaders Must Die" with little definitive news as to when the next album would come. 2014 was supposed to see the next album in stores, but the year came and went, and 2015 looked like a surer thing after the group signed a new record deal and management contract.None of the songs on the album have been released yet, but two have been previously announced: "Ibiza" alongside Sleaford Mods and "Nasty," scheduled to get its release sometime later this month. It is interesting to see the band collaborate on the album with American dubstep producer Flux Pavilion, notably in a tracklist largely devoid of collaborations. They both make jarring and aggressive music, so we will see what kind of madness comes from that collab.
