Scarlett Johansson has one of the most easily recognizable voices in Hollywood, and she’s once again setting it to music.
The 32-year-old actress lends her voice to the upcoming animated feature Sing, in which she plays a porcupine named Ash. Although the movie doesn’t hit theaters until Dec. 21, fans can hear Johansson rock out to a song from the soundtrack called “Set It All Free,” which was released Friday. The spirited anthem is about letting loose and being able to do anything.
“Set It All Free” is the second track released from the movie soundtrack, following after Stevie Wonder...

Last week, fellow columnist Molly Jackson and I had a conversation about binge watching on Netflix. Specifically about Young Justice, which she wrote about here. The reason it came up was because people have been encouraged to binge watch Young Justice in order to convince Netflix to pick up the show to give it another season. Young Justice is far from the only example of this at the most popular streaming service around.
Netflix has been breaking new ground lately by not breaking any new ground at all. By that I mean they’ve been at the forefront of offering people a whole hell of a lot of what we already know we like, but, technically, it’s new now! Even when they give us something “new” it’s almost always a vehicle for an already well established, accomplished actor, comedian, or creator with a long resume. I understand that this is an arguable point,...

From There To Here reaches a dramatic climax this week, tying up all its loose threads into a tidy bow
Feature
This review contains spoilers.
“Families have stories, that’s what keeps them together,” says Samuel Cotton (Bernard Hill should be given British national treasure status) midway through tonight’s final trip to Manchester, this time on the dawn of a new millennium. Peter Bowker’s flawed but overall tender family rigmarole concluded with a fitting final chapter. From There to Here has always been about family right from the beginning and here it reached a peak with the Cottons, secrets spilling out of every aperture.
Continuing directly on from last week’s midpoint, From There to Here picked up with Daniel awakening in his hospital bed to the unity of both his lives – wealthy confectioner Daniel and industrial cleaner Daniel. Claire glowered at him, Joanne was a mixture of confusion,...

Since their first record, Widows, was released in 2005, Sennen have been formulating and building their quietly gigantic sound from the bottom of the structure until they got to the penthouse suite at the top, today. Unlike the more traditional craftsmen, though, the four-piece didn’t need hammers and nails, hardhats and bricks, scaffolding and ladders. All they needed was a bit of inspiration, creativity, judgement and a concise idea of what they wanted to achieve. They had these. Now all they needed was a studio, paper and pen/laptop, a bit of belief from labels and fans alike and luck. They had these, also. The result of all these aspects is a band who can produce the most melancholic of tracks yet still elevate you to someplace new, a place reserved for music...

The band will headline Saturday's programme on the Main Stage at the Isle of Wight event, a slot which has previously been occupied by acts including Kraftwerk, The Cure and Amy Winehouse.

On the twenty-fifth anniversary of Paul Simon's biggest success, we settle the debate, once and for all. By Michael Edison Hayden and Stephen Deusner Graceland is a terrible album By Michael Edison Hayden, GQ 1986 was a good year for pop music. In England, New Order's Brotherhood gave birth to the spiritual club anthem "Bizarre Love Triangle," The Pet Shop Boys released the lush, satirical Please, and The Smiths released their romantic masterpiece, The Queen is Dead. In America, dead-end white communities found a voice for Reagan-era feelings of neglect with Slayer's Reign in Blood, Janet Jackson tangled pop airwaves with black female eroticism and feminism in Control, and Run-d.M.C. infused a sense of moral urgency into rap with the near-perfect Raising [...]...

Time has not been kind to post-rock, a mostly instrumental brand of indie that combined prog, noise, electronic and jam elements for a swirling brew that ruled the underground for a few minutes at the turn of the millennium. Still, one of the key groups from that scene is back, as Canadian collective Godspeed You! Black Emperor is back after a seven year hiatus. In an online statement, they announced that not only will they be curating the All Tomorrow's Parties festival in the U.K. but they'll also play a handful of other dates in Europe as well as nine American cities. It's an exciting time for anybody who loves fuzz and volume.
Godspeed You! Black Emperor don't have a ton of recorded material, though their 2000 album Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven is largely considered a cornerstone of the whole genre (along with the likes of...

The Hot Tub Time Machine soundtrack. That mere title alone is so communicative of both the tone and ambition of this new John Cusack-toplined comedy that the simple sight of those four little words is all you need in order to make the call as to whether you want to see the movie or whether you think it likely to be as seismic a catastrophe for modern cinema as Michael Haneke slipping while getting out of the shower and fatally cracking his skull on the Palme d’Or he keeps on the shelf behind the toilet. Essentially it would appear that Steve Pink’s film is the episode of Family Guy where Peter and Brian journey back to the ‘80s and piss off the chicken while simultaneously inventing Rick Astley, only elongated to feature length and with Chevy Chase’s hot tub repairman supplanting the Grim Reaper as gatekeeper...

For anyone wondering when Aubrey O'Day will be releasing a solo album — you will have to wait a little bit longer. The singer may be hitting the studio here and there to guest on tracks, but she is not quite ready to work full-time on her post-Danity Kane audio output.
"I had a very traumatic experience on and off working with Bad Boy and the cameras constantly in there. There was never vibes ... a lot of that matters when you're making music," she told MTV News. "When we made music, it was two to three cameras, two to three inches from our face, waiting to catch a bad note so they could have a show. So I haven't been overly...

Putting together a proper motion picture soundtrack is something of a lost art. Often thought of as a final step in packaging a film for it's final release, many films suffer from a lack of care when it comes to a proper sonic counterpart. While original scores can set the mood and tone of a film, working brilliantly for epics that require no "pop" or "rock" enhancement, in some cases the latter works better and that's usually where the problems start to show. When done correctly, a proper soundtrack should conjure images of the film for listeners long after the last flicker of the projector, or the final screen of the DVD.
The first decade of the "new millennium" has been overtly devoid of memorable soundtracks for the horror genre (sans a few exceptions), as if the music supervisor was brought on-board last-minute and given a tiny budget to work with.

When Aubrey O'Day isn't busy stirring up controversy around Playboy pictorials or prepping for her run in the Las Vegas stage production of "Peepshow," she is busy in the studio, working on new music in a post-Danity Kane world.
Recently, she released a cover of Eddie Murphy's "Party All the Time" with Young Money's Shanell Woodgette, and now MTV News has a preview of O'Day's latest musical venture, a song that samples the New Order classic "Bizarre Love Triangle." The version MTV News has obtained is a "version three remix" of the track that was leaked to some blogs late last week.
The song, "Never Fallin'," features Roscoe Umali rapping on the track. O'Day changed the lyrics of the song's chorus to address people who criticize her,...
