Dolly Parton's "Pure and Simple"

Forty-nine years into a recording career that has earned her eight Grammys and an induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame, Dolly Parton doesn’t have much left to prove. So on her 43rd studio LP, the 70-year-old sticks to a tried-and-true musical path: Pure + Simple finds Parton returning to her roots with 10 stellar, stripped-down love songs.

Parton has said in interviews that she was inspired by a recent personal milestone: her 50th wedding anniversary with husband Carl Dean. And fittingly for someone whose endured a half-century relationship, Pure + Simple explores many facets of relationships: new romance (“I’m Sixteen”), scandalous affairs (“Can’t Be That Wrong”), forgiveness (“Tomorrow Is Forever”), passionate nights (“Head Over High Heels”), and, of course, everlasting love (“Say Forever You’ll Be Mine”).

Occasionally the album feels like it might be on the verge of wading too far into sappy Hallmark Card territory—like on the hymn-like album closer “Forever Love,” where Parton sings, “No other arms come to mind when you hold me/As if heaven knew that for you I was made.” But those moments are rare, and the album is saved by by Parton’s self-assured soprano, which has lost none of its girlish charm.

Sure, Pure + Simple doesn’t have an instant classic like Parton’s 1973 standard “I Will Always Love You.” But it shows that five decades into her career, Parton isn’t a nostalgia act—she’s still one of America’s most vital country songsmiths.

Kanye to debut his fourth fashion line.

Kanye West will debut his fourth fashion line, Yeezy Season 4, on Sept. 7, Women’s Wear Daily reports.

The event will be held on the first day of New York Fashion week, with a specific time and place to be announced at a later date.

Since launching his first collection in February of 2015, Kanye has regularly used his shows to reveal new music. He shared The Life of Pablo track “Wolves” at Yeezy Season 1, played an early version of “Fade” at Yeezy Season 2, and unveiled the entire TLOP record at his mammoth Madison Square Garden premiere for Yeezy Season 3.

For his latest fashion endeavor, Kanye doubled his “Wolves” music video.

J'Lopez performs in Adele's concert: Awesome!

Turns out, J. Lo is an Adele stan just like the rest of us. Jennifer Lopez attended the “Hello” singer’s concert in Los Angeles on Tuesday night, and couldn’t help but sing along from the crowd.

In a video posted by vocal coach Stevie Mackie, who’s been working with Lopez on her Las Vegas residency, Lopez belts out the chorus to Adele’s hit “Rolling in the Deep.” After the brief shot, Lopez puts her hand up and turns her attention back to the stage.

Who could blame Lopez for fanning out — Adele’s 25 tour has proven itself to be a host of hilarious and heat-warming moments since it kicked off at the start of the year. Most recently, she has invited not one, but two Adele drag impersonators to join her on stage, and even planted a kiss on a fan.

Season 8: Game of Thrones confirmed as the last by ......

The end of Game of Thrones is coming.

HBO's programming president Casey Bloys confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that the hit fantasy series would end after season 8.

The news may not come as a huge surprise to GOT fans as showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss had previously stated that they wanted the series to end after its eight season.

"Yes, they have a very specific plan about the number of seasons they want to do," Bloys said at the Television Critics Association's press tour in Beverly Hills on Saturday. "Believe me, as the new [programming executive] coming in, if I could get them to do more. I would take 10 more seasons. But we take their lead on what they think they can do the best version of the show."

However, while Benioff and Weiss had previously said the eight season would only consist of six episodes, Bloys said the exact number of episodes in the final season has not yet been determined.

Read what West thinks about Jayz's Tidal and Apple deal!!

While Apple figures out what it wants to do regarding Tidal, Kanye West threw in his two cents: “Let the kids have the music.”
Word got out at the end of June that Apple was in early talks to purchase Tidal, Jay Z’s music streaming service. Developments on that front have remained a mystery, but West took to Twitter Saturday to suggest both parties should stop dragging their feet.
“This Tidal Apple beef is f–king up the music game,” the rapper began, adding he wants “on the phone or in a room this week” with Apple CEO Tim Cook, Jay Z, and others including, presumably, Apple Music executive and music producer Jimmy Iovine, Drake (the rapper serves as a spokeperson of sorts for Apple Music), and music manager Scooter Braun.

“F–k all this d–k swinging contest. We all gon be dead in 100 Years. Let the kids have the music,” West continued in a separate tweet before advising the Tim Cook-led Apple to “give Jay his check for Tidal now and stop trying to act like you Steve [Jobs].”


This Tidal Apple beef is fucking up the music game.
