We’ve got two new debuts and an artist’s first top 10 hit on this week’s chart.

Steve Angello:
I was playing Coachella, and I needed that energy and that old ravy kind of Hoover sound. I’m getting technical, but like the Hoover soundy kind of ravy sound. And then, yeah, it was like, straight made for the show. It was to get an effect. Vocals was chopped up for the light production. So it was like, super Steve Angello show music, you know. And then I decided to put it out.

And that was Coachella in 2022.

Yes.

I was there. Great show. 

It was a good show. It was fun. 

Very fun. And you teamed up with fellow Swedish House Mafia member Sebastian Ingrosso for “Skip.” Would you say those songs have a similar vibe?

Yeah. I mean, it’s like that clubby energy, right? It’s like the ravy clubby, gritty, little darker. It’s that energy.

Why did the two of you link up for “Skip” instead of it being a full Swedish House Mafia track?

I don’t remember the process of it. I think we just, you know, studio one night made a song because we’ve, you know, the history of us. Me and Ax used to do songs back in early 2000s like we’ve always done together and all three and mix and match, you know?

Young Miko takes us ‘Behind the Photo’ and shares what it was like to perform with Feid on the Jimmy Fallon show, her inspiration for ‘att.’ and more!

Young Miko:

Hello, family, how are you? My name is Young Miko and today we are going to go “Behind the Photo.” with Billboard. Here we are on the Jimmy Fallon show with Feid. We sang “Offline” together. It was my first time at the Jimmy Fallon show, so it was very special and it was super fun, a super nice experience. I’m glad I was able to share it with Feid. I mean, when I was a little girl,  I loved to put on band-aids of any character. I think they were like Elmo or from The Simpsons. I thought it was cool to be able to wear colors all over the place and when we made the track “curita” on the album ‘att.’ this was the first thing that popped in my head and I shared it on socials because… I’m here with Mauro, as you can see, my better half, time to make music. This is my brother, I don’t know what would become of me without him. We were in Los Angeles and we were working on ‘att.’ in fact. One of those wonderful days with him in the studio. This was the first time I posted a photo with my somewhat copper hair. Someone Published some lyrics of a song that says: “The red hair with The Rolling Stones T Shirt.”

Iconic Music Moments From Kamala Harris & Donald Trump’s Campaigns | Billboard News

As the presidential race nears the end, we’re running through some of the most iconic music moments from Donald Trump and Kamala Harris’ campaigns. Which moment was your favorite? Let us know in the comments!

Tetris Kelly:

As the election between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump is coming to a close, we’re looking back at the music that defined the campaigns. Like when Kamala announced that she was entering the race for the presidency, and Charli XCX tweeted out, “Kamala is brat.” The British pop star helped create more buzz around Vice President Harris, which prompted “KamalaHQ,” the official rapid response of the VP, to change their header to Charli’s signature ‘brat’ green. Since then, several edits and memes of Kamala Harris were made to songs off of ‘Brat’ like “360,” “365,” and “Von Dutch.” From Kamala to Trump, the former president is apparently in charge of picking the music for his rallies and seems to have some repeat favorites that span a wide range of artists, like opera singer Luciano Pavarotti, Frank Sinatra, and the Village People, even dancing along with the signature “YMCA” moves! But that’s not the only song on Trump’s playlist; his campaign has repeatedly used Lee Greenwood’s rendition of “God Bless the U.S.A,” throughout his three campaigns. The 82-year-old singer even performed it at the RNC. Kamala Harris has her own go-to campaign song for her rallies, Beyoncé’s “Freedom.” To see more stories like this, head over to Billboard.
