ARTIST NEWS
Coronavirus handwashing videos are officially a thing now. Even though, if you don’t yet know how you’re supposed to wash your hands, there’s probably not much point. But anyway, Neil Diamond has re-written ‘Sweet Caroline’ to help you nonetheless.

RELEASES
Donald Glover has released a new album as Childish Gambino, titled ‘3.15.20’. The album briefly appeared online last week, but has now received an official release. Tracks on the new record feature Ariana Grande and 21 Savage.
MIA has released new song ‘OHMNI 202091’ through the Patreon account she launched earlier this year. It’s available to anyone, whether you’re giving her money or not.
Noah Cyrus has released new single, ‘I Got So High That I Saw Jesus’. Insisting that the “song is not about or for one religion or belief system”, she adds: “I was born and raised Christian with strong beliefs and still hold those values. I was smoking weed one night, and had this epiphany, then wrote the song, hence the title”.
Jada has released new single ‘Nudes’. She says: “‘Nudes’ is about expressing and exposing yourself to someone you have a romantic and/or sexual relationship with. Being honest with your feelings, with your attraction to the other, and with your sexuality. And then being left on ‘read'”.
The Hell have announced that, to mark the 666th day since the release of their debut album ‘You’re Listening To The Hell’, they will release rarities collection ‘Now (That’s What I Call Old Shit & Stuff) 666’ next month. It includes new track ‘Cheers (You Dicks)’, which is probably mainly of interest if you’re one of the people thanked on it.
