Alana Haim of the sisters trio Haim stars in the new movie ''Licorice Pizza', directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, a frequent collaborator of her family trio. The film also stars Tom Waits, as well as Cooper Hoffman (the son of Anderson favorite Philip Seymour Hoffman), Bradley Cooper, Sean Penn, and Benny Safdie. The film is about “growing up, running around and falling in love in the San Fernando Valley, 1973”. The trailer, soundtracked by David Bowie’s 'Life on Mars?' is out now.

Loyle Carner shared his new Madlib-produced jazzy 'Yesterday'; 'Feel the Thunder' is a funny song - Haim trying to sound like Guns N' Roses, 'Welcome to the Jungle' to be specific; Makaya McCraven made a dubby jazz remix of Nuby Garcia's 'Source'; Your Old Droog features El-P, Black Thought, Mach-Hommy, and Tha God Fahim on 'Pravda'.

"It’s Haim as we haven’t quite heard them before: not just eminently proficient musicians, entertainers, and 'women in music', but full of flaws and contradictions, becoming something much greater" - Pitchfork argues in favor of the third album by the three California sisters.

And they never lose sight of the light at the end of the tunnel" - Independent; "Experimental, soothing and vulnerable; it’s a thing of great beauty" - NME; "Richly searching, explosively produced third album" - Guardian.

Dua Lipa said, as Variety reports, she "thought I’d be doing them a disservice to delay it, especially during this time”, while Lady Gaga said - “it just doesn’t feel right to me to release this album with all that is going on during this global pandemic”. Whether to release an album or not depends on the genre also - hip-hop sells close to 100% in digital formats so there's a good chance of selling the album in expected numbers, while some older-demographic artists are still selling 70%-80% physical, and the records stores are closed... Tours are equally cancelled for both sides.

Robert Plant has a new band Saving Grace, playing British folk, the latest song they did is a great cover of 'Everybody's Song' by Low, a true cover for a different song; Haim announce new album ‘Women in Music Pt. III’ with a single 'The Steps', accompanied by a great video made by Paul Thomas Anderson; RINSE goes solo - and post-punky - on his new single 'Tell Me Tell Me Tell Me'; David Berman (Purple Mountains, Silver Jews) collaborators Woods made "a gateway into dream and an escape from everyday reality" with 'Where Do You Go When You Dream'.

It is a "song about family, love, loss, and being thankful for it all", Alana Haim explained, as MTV reports. The song started to come to life when her friend was killed in a car accident. It took time to come to a finished song. Now it's done - it is a loving tribute. The […]
