Stone Temple Pilots guitarist Dean DeLeo has unveiled a new project dubbed One More Satellite. The outfit’s self-titled debut album is set to drop July 18th, and the lead single and LP opener “Paper Over the Cracks” can be heard now.

The project sees DeLeo in collaboration with English singer and lyricist Pete Shoulder, and the duo’s chemistry is palpable on the new song. DeLeo lays down a lanky, very Stp-sounding central riff that’s deceptively hooky, while Shoulder is in fine form, his grizzled voice and melodies perfectly complementing the track’s overall tone.

“I was simply sitting on some songs I wanted to record,” DeLeo said of the project in a press release. “What started out as an instrumental album, quickly changed soon after Pete and I chatted. He was going to sing on a song or two, then wound up singing on eight of the 10 on the record.

Donna Summer’s family is feeling the opposite of love for Kanye West. In a new lawsuit filed Tuesday, Summer’s husband Bruce Sudano alleges West and collaborator Ty Dolla $ign engaged in “blatant theft” when they sampled Summer’s iconic 1977 hit “I Feel Love” on their recently released Vultures 1 song “Good (Don’t Die).”

The copyright infringement complaint says West and Ty Dolla $ign, whose legal name is Tyrone Griffin, “shamelessly” stole the instantly recognizable hook from Summer’s disco classic after they asked for permission to use it and were “explicitly denied.

Disco icon Donna Summer’s family has accused Kanye West of using parts of one of Summer’s most iconic songs on his new album Vultures, despite their denial of permission to sample her work on the album.

In his song “Good (Don’t Die),” he uses a piece of the 1977 hit song from Summer’s “I Feel Love.” After the release, the late singer’s Instagram page confirmed that West did not have permission to use the song and that his initial request was denied.

The post read that West “asked permission to use Donna Summer’s song ‘I Feel Love.’ He was denied.”

They went on to say, “He changed the words, had someone re-sing it or used AI but it’s ‘I Feel Love’… copyright infringement!!!”

In addition to this case, power couple Ozzy Osbourne and wife Sharon Osbourne are claiming that West used an unauthorized Black...

Somewhere inside every album Beck has made since Mellow Gold — his 1994 surprise attack of slippery irony and hip-hop bravado — is the solo folk-blues singer caught on that year’s One Foot in the Grave, writing about despair with a surrealist edge while turned toward hope. That is the Beck who jumps out here in “Saw Lightning,” in looping spasms of acoustic, skidding Delta slide guitar.

Most of the song’s apocalypse comes in contemporary kicks. Beck sings of great fire and flooding, praying for rescue in a strident android’s...
