A new Red Hot Chili Peppers Album is said to be released on Oct. 14 and has been announced as Return of the Dream Canteen. This is their second release of 2022, which has people wondering whether the long-lived indie rock band will continue writing after this release.

“We went in search of ourselves as the band that we have somehow always been. Just for the fun of it we jammed and learned some old songs. Before long we started the mysterious process of building new songs,” RHCP said of the new album in a statement.

Taylor swift has announced an album called Midnights through a very intriguing Instagram post.  “Midnights, the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered through my life, will be out Oct. 21. Meet me at midnight,” Taylor Swift said in her latest Instagram post. (Posted August 28th)

Many crazed and excited swifties wonder if she has been hinting at this for a while because many of her last albums have included songs with the repetition of the word Midnight.

This is her first new release post-rerecording of her albums (Red, Fearless, 1989 and Reputation) due to complications from her past label.

 

Hot Takes:

Megan Thee Stallion has brought attention to the mental health of women in the music industry through her song Anxiety in her latest album Traumazine.

“They keep saying’ speak your truth, and at the same time say they don’t believe” Megan states in her latest song.

In the past, many interviewers have met Meg with disbelief and a competitive attitude when she speaks on the mental health of not only her but other female artists as well.

Megan has experienced a lot of traumatizing events throughout her life, including the loss of her mother, Holly Thomas, who died of brain cancer in March of 2019. She also speaks on this topic in her song Anxiety, and throughout many interviews over the years.

During this journey of healing for Megan it has comforted many of her fans who are going through a tough time of loss.

After 29 long years, British rock band Coldplay has announced that they will no longer release new music after 2025.

This has left nothing but worried fans with too many questions.

Could this be the end of a very long era? What is going to happen to the band? Is this just a rumor? Is the band splitting up? Why are they splitting up? Are they still going to perform their music?

Touring Artists:

74-year-old rock singer Stevie Nicks, announced the second leg of her tour in late July. She is just now making her way over to Texas for her performance in the woodlands on Oct. 9. If you have any desire to see this legend during one of her last tours buy tickets and join her at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion.
