After surprise-debuting the song during Sabrina Carpenter‘s headlining set at Coachella April 17, Madonna dropped the dance floor-ready “Bring Your Love” on Thursday (April 30). The track that unites the iconic pop stars from across generations is from Madonna’s eagerly anticipated 15th studio album, Confessions II, due out on July 3.
“Don’t comment on my ideas/ I don’t want your judgment or your expectations/ Don’t wind me up like a toy/ Your vision of me is a killer of joy,” the women sing on the first verse of the song, with Madonna taking the first two lines before Carpenter comes in and they then team up for the dreamy pre-chorus to the song featuring an incessant, “Vogue”-like beat.
“I know where the bodies are buried/ Don’t try to shut me out/ Don’t try to distract me with numbers/ I did it all for love/ Bring me Sabrina, you’ve got something to say about it?” they sing as they unite for the chorus: “Bring your love, ’cause you cannot shake me/ Bring your love, ’cause you’ll never break me/ Bring your love, ’cause you cannot take me down.”
The lead single, co-produced by Madonna and Confession II collaborator producer Stuart Price, got its world debut when Madonna did an unannounced pop-out during Carpenter’s Coachella set during the 26-year-old singer’s performance of “Juno,” at the song’s pose moment. The track then cut to Madonna’s iconic 1990 single “Vogue” before bouncing into “Bring Your Love.” The song will appear on the upcoming Confessions II, the long-awaited sequel to Madonna’s 2005 dance classic, Confessions on a Dance Floor. The pair closed out the miniset with a run through Madonna’s “Like a Prayer.”
The pair hyped the single’s release earlier in the week with a joint Instagram post in which they posed cheek-to-cheek in a black-and-white picture alongside the caption, “We’ve got something to say about it ♥️.” The post earned a big thumbs-up from pioneering New York techno DJ/producer Kevin Saunderson, who wrote, “This has that timeless dance DNA a little Detroit, a little @innercitydetroit soul, all magic. Respect, Madonna.”
The Carpenter collab follows on the heels of the first full taste of Confessions II, the bubbling electro pop heat mirage “I Feel So Free.”

After two decades as an independent group, Los Alegres del Barranco signed with Warner Music Mexico on Thursday (April 30).
“We are very proud to begin this new chapter with Warner Music. We are ready to take the next step,” said Pável Moreno, leader of the group hailing from Badiraguato, Sinaloa, in a statement.

“This signing represents not only the strength of their catalog but also the future of the genre,” added Tomás Rodríguez, president of Warner Music Mexico. “Los Alegres del Barranco have played a key role in shaping the sound of corridos and Mexican music.”
Known for corridos such as “El Panal,” “El 701” and “La Gilbertona,” the band is releasing its first single under its new label on Friday (May 1), titled “De Los Dientes Pa’ Fuera,” a collaboration with Edgardo Núñez and Los Farmerz, two of the most successful artists of the new generation of regional Mexican music stars.
Just a year ago, Los Alegres del Barranco were at the center of controversy after displaying images of a cartel leader during a concert while performing the song “El Del Palenque,” an act that led to the cancellation of the band members’ U.S. visas. However, the interest generated by the song following the incident propelled it to No. 1 on Billboard‘s LyricFind Global chart (dated April 11, 2025).
With a catalog of compositions primarily written by Pável Moreno and José Carlos Moreno, Los Alegres del Barranco has maintained its original lineup as a quartet, becoming storytellers and cultural voices of the corrido genre with a style that has influenced new artists.
In 2025, the group embarked on a 20th-anniversary celebration tour called Los Señores del Corrido across Mexico, with two major performances this year: Aug. 7 at Arena Ciudad de México and Aug. 15 at Arena Guadalajara.
It started with a tweet and now it’s a movement. Flavor Flav has been a staunch supporter of women’s sports and Olympians for years, and now he’s organized SHE Weekend to celebrate women athletes for four straight days in Las Vegas.

The Public Enemy rapper announced Flavor Flav’s SHE Weekend (Sports Hospitality & Entertainment) on Thursday (April 30), which is set for July 16-19 in Sin City.
“Introducing: Flavor Flav’s SHE Weekend. Sports. Hospitality. Entertainment. July 16–19. Las Vegas. It started with a tweet. Now its a movement,” he wrote to X. “We’re focused on real impact. For women’s sports. For women athletes. For what comes next.”
It all started back in February when Flav wanted to organize an event to celebrate the U.S. women’s hockey team winning the gold medal at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
“Many of y’all asked how you can support and donate to our female athletes and the celebrations, so I created a GoFundMe,” he wrote to X at the time. “I’m hopeful this can have an impact beyond the weekend and help those that represent the best of the U.S.”
As of press time, the GoFundMe has now raised over $133,000. Flav has also partnered with MGM Resorts to put the weekend celebration together, which has expanded to all women’s sports, medalists and athletes who competed in the Summer and Winter Olympics.
The weekend will be filled with celebratory events, giving the Olympians their flowers and providing opportunities for the athletes to meet potential sponsors. There will also be several meet-and-greets for fans to mingle with the Olympians, according to FOX 5.
It’s going to be a busy weekend on the Strip, with the NBA Summer League running the same weekend in Las Vegas.
Flavor Flav has continued to champion women’s athletics, as Flav served as the official hype man for the U.S. bobsled team at the 2026 Winter Olympics. He’s also a sponsor for the men’s and women’s U.S. water polo teams, which saw him assist in raising funds for the women’s team to make the trip to Paris for the 2024 Summer Olympics.

David Allan Coe’s place in country music was never especially tidy. That was part of the point.
Coe, who died April 29 at age 86, built a career that ran alongside the Nashville mainstream without ever settling inside it. He emerged in the 1970s as country’s outlaw movement reshaped the format, sharing the independent streak of Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and others, while often pushing further into rougher, more confrontational territory.

His Billboard chart history reflects that tension. Coe charted 30 titles on Hot Country Songs from 1974 through 1987. He never reached No. 1 as a recording artist, but earned three top 10s: “Mona Lisa Lost Her Smile,” which became his highest-peaking hit, reaching No. 2 in 1984; “The Ride,” which hit No. 4 in 1983; and “You Never Even Called Me by My Name,” which rose to No. 8 in 1975 and went on to become a lasting singalong staple –– part joke, part truth and long a country anthem.
Coe logged 20 entries on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart during his lifetime. Castles in the Sand (1983) and Once Upon a Rhyme (1975) were his best showings, each hitting No. 8 and spending a combined 46 weeks on the chart. He most recently made the list with The Essential David Allan Coe, in 2005-06.
Coe did top Hot Country Songs as a songwriter, with Johnny Paycheck’s “Take This Job and Shove It,” written by Coe, a No. 1 in 1977 and ultimately one of country’s defining working-class anthems. Other Coe-penned songs include “Would You Lay With Me (In a Field of Stone),” also a No. 1, for Tanya Tucker in 1974, and “Single Father,” written with and charted by Kid Rock in 2004.
Coe’s career, of course, extended beyond what chart numbers can capture. His Nothing Sacred and Underground Album recordings, explicit and controversial, complicated his standing then and now. Still, his influence runs through country’s harder-edged lanes, especially among artists drawn to the genre’s less-polished side.
David Allan Coe did not always fit Nashville’s center, but for more than a decade and beyond he became part of its chart story.
