After releasing his third studio album, Jackman, last Friday, Jack Harlow is bringing fans to his hometown in the first official video from the project, “They Don’t Love It.” Harlow announced the new album on April 26, with no singles or press leading up to the release.

Directed by Eliel Ford, the visual for They Don’t Love It features Harlow taking viewers on a mini-tour through the streets of Louisville, Ky., visiting his old schools, playing soccer and barbecuing with his family and friends.

The 10-track Jackman is a major departure from Harlow’s mainstream album of 2022, Come Home The Kids Miss You, which included Harlow’s first Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper, “First Class.”  That album debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and earned several Grammy nominations, including best rap album.

Taylor Swift has joined The National on the song ‘The Alcott,’ taking off the band’s new album, First Two Pages of Frankenstein, out now .  First Two Pages of Frankenstein also features Phoebe Bridgers on two songs, “This Isn’t Helping” and “Your Mind Is Not Your Friend.”

Guitarist Aaron Dessner previously worked with Taylor on her two 2020 albums, folklore and evermore.  He said in a statement:“[Frontman] Matt [Berninger] wrote the main part of the song to some music I had written which Taylor had heard and I knew liked, so I thought it might be something she would really click with. I sent it to [Taylor], and was a little nervous as I didn’t hear back for 20 minutes or so … By the time she responded, Taylor had written all her parts and recorded a voice memo with the lyrics she’d added in a dialogue with Matt, and everyone fell immediately in love with it. It felt meant to be.”

Berninger added that “The Alcott” is about “two people with a long history returning to a place and trying to relive a certain moment in time … It’s got the feeling of a last-ditch effort to hold onto the relationship, but there’s a hint of something positive where you can see the beginnings of a reconnection.”

You can listen to “The Alcott” now via digital outlets and via the lyric video on YouTube (here).

The Jonas Brothers have shared the new music video for their song, “Waffle House,” which was filmed during their recent visit to London.  “Waffle House” is set to appear on the Jonas Brothers’ upcoming sixth record, The Album, set to arrive this month. The visual opens with Joe Jonas in an underground club in the city before he goes and joins his brothers in the streets, and eventually follows them on stage at their recent sold-out gig at the iconic Royal Albert Hall.

Nick told Variety about his love for ‘Waffle House’: “It was a last-minute addition. At first, it was a bit of a head-scratcher, but the more I listened to it, the more I loved it. I think it really encapsulates a moment in time for us. Musically it taps into some of my favorites: Doobie Brothers and Bee Gees, and others from that era. It’s a really, really, fun song. We can’t wait to play it live.”
