9/24/2021 Music and General Update

     Hi, all.  The laptop has not yet been taken in, so I thought I'd share what's happened in music releases last week and is known to happen tonight.  


    Sam Smith's duet with Summer Walker was released last week and the sample sounds Heavenly, I'm actually waiting to listen to it tonight.  Tori Kelly is also on the Dear Evan Hansen Soundtrack as well and her song will be released tonight.  

Miley Cyrus and Lil Nas X's duet was great, one of the best pop songs this year, and tonight, I'll find out if his other collaborations are just as good or better.  

Enuff Z'nuff also released the first single for their Beatles tribute album, which will also include songs from John and Paul's solo careers; the first single was actually a cover of John's "Cold Turkey," which was also covered in 2015 by the Hollywood Vampires, a group focused around Alice Cooper, Joe Perry and Johnny Depp, made due to Alice Cooper appearing in the "Dark Shadows" movie directed by Tim Burton.  

Styx also released an EP with a good live version of "Miss America," one of my favorites of their 70s incarnation not sung by Tommy Shaw and I think this is the best rendition sung by Lawrence Gowan.  

The Beatles also released four more tracks from their upcoming "Let It Be Super Deluxe," featuring outtakes of "Get Back" and "One after 909" as well as an alternate mix of "I Me Mine" by Glyn Johns and the album version of "Across the Universe," one of my favorite calming songs, and I bet a lot of other people feel the same way.

Ringo Starr's second EP of the year is to be released tonight, I am personally curious if the first single of this one had as much of an all-starr cast as "Here's To The Nights" did.  (Yes, that typo was intentional)

Solar, my favorite K-Pop singer, also released a single presumably attached to a movie.  She is a singer in the girl group MAMAMOO and sometimes she records on her own.  She has a lovely voice and I would love it if her group (and her in particular) got the same exposure in the West BLACKPINK has had.
