Andrew Watt and Pearl Jam entered the world at practically the same exact moment. The 33-year-old producer was born Oct. 20, 1990, the same week that Eddie Vedder traveled to Seattle from San Diego to meet his future bandmates for the first time. “They’ve said to me they were probably writing ‘Release’ while my mom was giving birth to me,” Watt says. “And then they played their first concert two days after that at the Off Ramp cafe. I don’t want to get too biblical about it, but it’s very,...

“Feud” is gearing up to return with a bang in January, and FX has released the first teaser for its star-studded portrayal of one of the 20th century’s most sordid literary feuds. The second installment of Ryan Murphy‘s anthology series, titled “Feud: Capote vs. the Swans,” centers on Truman Capote’s inner circle of “swans,” a term he coined to describe his wealthy female socialite friends.
“The White Lotus” scene stealer Tom Hollander portrays Capote, with Naomi Watts, Chloë Sevigny, Molly Ringwald, Calista Flockhart, and Diane Lane as his close friends, whose exploits Capote infamously documented in the short story “La Côte Basque 1965” for Esquire. Capote was attempting to write the shelved novel “Answered Prayers” and used his friends’ gossip and secrets as fodder.
“Feud: Capote vs. the Swans” tells the stories of Babe Paley (Watts), Ann Woodward (Moore), C. Z. Guest (Sevigny), Lee Radziwill (Flockhart), Slim Keith...

Like every other Rolling Stones album dubbed the best since 1978’s Some Girls, Hackney Diamonds features enough cringey lyrics, dodgy guitar riffs, and self-plagiarism (such as Keith Richards playing “Tumbling Dice” at the beginning of “Driving Me Too Hard”) to keep it out of the pantheon of their greatest releases. What parts of the album do capture is a genuinely contemporary flair that the Stones haven’t successfully embodied since they triangulated the emerging threads of punk and disco back in the late 1970s.
The album’s crisp, booming drums, hooky choruses, and livewire vocals have a radio-ready sheen without feeling forced, or compromising the Stones’s essential traits. The opening track, “Angry,” hardens the edges around a shiny pop-forward hook with a hit of stadium swagger and a roiling outro that piles on knotty guitar solos from Richards and Ronnie Wood. The fact that the Stones don’t sound...

Pearl Jam’s new album is “getting close to the finish line,” according to guitarist Stone Gossard.
Gossard shared an update on Pearl Jam’s new album during an appearance on Kyle Meredith With…
“We’re getting closer and closer, it’s gonna be a good one,” Gossard said of the follow-up to 2020’s Gigaton.
Producer Andrew Watt has been enlisted to produce the album. Though he first made a name for himself working with pop stars like Justin Bieber, Lana Del Rey, and Camila Cabello, Watt has helmed a number of high-profile rock projects as of late. He produced Elton John’s The Lockdown Sessions, Ozzy Osbourne’s Patient Number 9, and Iggy Pop’s Every Loser. He also worked with Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder on his 2022 solo album, Earthling, which has now parlayed into his gig producing for Pearl Jam themselves.

Who would have guessed? Everything But The Girl have returned in one of the year’s most surprising—and welcome—comebacks. The married London duo of Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt quit making music together in 2000, taking time to raise their family while working separately. Fuse is their first collaboration since 1999’s underrated gem Temperamental, which topped off the amazing Nineties trilogy they began with Amplified Heart and Walking Wounded. But Everything But The Girl hit home with their trademark style of ghostly electro-pop, with Thorn’s melancholy voice floating through the glitchy beats.

Post Malone has always ricocheted between genres, but his new single “Chemical” — which he co-wrote with Andrew Watt, Billy Walsh, and Louis Bell — takes the rap-rocker all the way into upbeat, sentimental pop. Watch the video above.
This isn’t the first time Post has looked on the bright side of life. His last single, which peaked at number-three on the Billboard Hot 100, was literally called “I Like You (A Happier Song).” And while “Chemical” has a sunny sound, it still tackles darker material with lyrics about being trapped in a toxic relationship: “You break me, then I break my rules / Last time was the last time too / It’s f*cked up, I know, but I’m still / Outside of the party smoking in the car with you.”

Like many people, musicians Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn found themselves in isolation during the pandemic, conjuring up memories of sharing space with strangers on a dancefloor. The time spent indoors would eventually lead the pair, who began releasing music in the Eighties as Everything But the Girl, to find the creative spark that would become their new album, Fuse, out April 21st. The group’s first official release in 24 years.
