Roger Waters joined forces with Lucius on-stage this week to perform Pink Floyd’s ‘Mother’ – check out the moment below.The duo, made up of Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig, have previously toured with Waters, who was formerly the bassist/vocalist in Pink Floyd.During Lucius’ gig at New York’s Beacon Theatre on Wednesday (May 4), Waters joined them on-stage for the encore to perform the Pink Floyd classic ‘Mother’ from ‘The Wall’.Check out their acoustic rendition of the track here:Pink Floyd recently released their first new music in decades to aid the relief effort in Ukraine.The track, titled ‘Hey, Hey, Rise Up’, features a sample of Andriy Khlyvnyuk, the singer of Ukrainian band Boombox, and is the band’s first original music to be released since their 1994 album ‘The Division Bell’. All proceeds from the song go to Ukraine Humanitarian Relief.Discussing the new song in a statement, Gilmour said: “I hope it will receive wide support and publicity.

Harry Styles‘ ‘Treat People With Kindness’, have said they were not properly credited for their contribution to the 2019 song.In a new interview with the Los Angeles Times about the duo’s new album ‘Second Nature’, they say they think they were unfairly denied a feature credit on the song, which appears on Styles’ second album ‘Fine Line’.Though they are named as vocalists in the album’s liner notes for ‘Treat People With Kindness’, the duo are not officially listed as a feature artist, or tagged on the track on streaming services such as Spotify. The LA Times piece acknowledges that Styles has never officially listed a feature artist in any of his solo music.Lucius have, however, been tagged as a featured artist on other acts’ songs in the past, such as the title track from The War on Drugs‘ latest album, last year’s ‘I Don’t Live Here Anymore’, or Nathaniel Rateliff’s 2018 song ‘Babe I Know’.“We start the song, we sing every chorus, just us. We trade off the bridge.

Chris Willman Music WriterEven if the band name Lucius doesn’t ring a bell, chances are you’ve seen frontwomen Holly Laessig and Jess Wolfe at some point — guesting with someone else, if not out on their own — and asked, “Who are those two identical-twin singers… who are not actually identical, but close enough for rock ‘n’ roll?” The two women have forged a strong visual as well as musical identity by singing in perfect unison as well as dressing and styling alike.They’re certainly known, as a visual reference if not a proper name, to anyone who saw them prominently featured on Roger Waters’ 157-date “Us + Them” tour in 2017-18, and to many who’ve caught their featured appearances live or on record with the War on Drugs, Harry Styles, Sheryl Crow, Ozzy Osbourne and Mavis Staples, among others. And their audience for their own music is substantial, although it’s been a while since they properly cultivated it touring behind “Wildewoman” (2013), “Good Grief” (2016) or the semi-acoustic placeholder “Nudes” (2018). But with “Second Nature,” their first album of all-new material in six years, they’re no longer 20 feet or even a couple of yards from stardom, but reclaiming the spotlight for themselves.

Mandy Moore has shared a nostalgic new single called ‘Little Dreams’ – listen to it below.The gentle orchestral track sees Moore focus in on, and celebrate, the everyday.In a statement about the track, Moore said: “I wanted to write a song about how a life is comprised of these seemingly mundane moments that ultimately all piece together to form something greater.“It’s about the little things we look back on with such nostalgia when we’re reflecting on a particular point in time: the walk you took with someone right after it had rained, or the drive when someone introduced you to a record that wound up becoming one of your favourites.“It doesn’t always have to be about the flashy things that scream out to us—it’s all those quieter, simpler moments that are worth recognizing and celebrating too.”You can listen to the track here:The track is the second single to come from Moore’s upcoming new album, ‘In Real Life’ following the release of the album’s title track last month.The record will be the follow-up to Moore’s March 2020 album ‘Silver Landings’, and will arrive on May 13 via Verve Forecast.Produced by Mike Viola, ‘In Real Life’ features a host of collaborators, including Moore’s husband, Dawes’ Taylor Goldsmith, and his brother/bandmate Griffin Goldsmith, Lucius’ Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig, keyboardist Lee Pardini (The War On Drugs) and bassist Sebastian Steinberg (Sharon Van Etten, Phoebe Bridgers).Speaking about the new album, Moore said: “So much of this record came from future-tripping on the next chapter of my life and what it might look like: what parenthood would feel like, how it would change everything, and all the excitement and trepidation that comes with that.”“At the same time it was about celebrating
