Name 3 Songs

This week on Name 3 Songs…⚡ ️ What is life after Love on Tour? Harry Styles’ multi-year tour is coming to an end this week. ⚡Ahead of Zayn’s new music, the former One Direction member went on the Call Her Daddy podcast for his first interview in 6 years. Zayn shared a brief reflection on his One Direction days and addressed the alleged altercation with Yolanda Hadid, the mother of his ex-wife Gigi Hadid. ⚡ Meanwhile, One Direction bandmate Liam Payne returned to YouTube and TikTok after some time away. Liam says the discussion around his appearance on Logan Paul’s podcast Impaulsive in May 2022 was a wake up call to check into a sobriety program. ⚡Jung Kook of BTS is the latest member to drop his solo song and accompanying music video featuring Latto. Is this Jung Kook’s lean into the adult bad boy trope? We’re breaking down the song and the music video that had us thinking about the parallels of parasocial relationships. ⚡With all of the boy band happenings, we thought it fit to revisit an old episode about boy banders and teen pop stars who re-envision themselves as adults with an overtly sexy album, following in the footsteps of Justin Timberlake’s “Justified.”Enjoy this episode?

This week: ⚡ Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) features a rewrite of “Better than Revenge.” While the song is laced with 2010s teen girl misogyny, we discuss why Taylor’s decision to rewrite “she’s better known for the things that she does on the mattress” wasn’t necessary in the context of modern feminism. ⚡ ️Keke Palmer faces blatant misogyny from her boyfriend claiming that she dressed too risque in public. In stark contrast, Jackson Wang says that while he wants to have kids, it’s ultimately his wife’s decision, and that finding a soulmate is more important than his desire to have kids. ⚡ ️ Recently music critics Tom Breihan and Laura Snapes have revisited past pop releases, providing a new perspective on their original music criticism of Katy Perry’s 2010 “Teenage Dream” and Charli XCX’s 2016 Vroom Vroom EP. We look at how and why publication bias and personal bias play a role in music criticism.Fangirl Nonsense: Mikey Way joins Fall Out Boy on stage on the weekend of July 4th, calling back to years of Mikey x Pete lore in the mid 00s.

💫 During Rina Sawayama’s set at Glastonbury, she called out Matty Healy’s recent microaggressions, adding “And he owns my masters.” This caused an uproar of discourse questioning this statement – calling back to Taylor Swift’s negotiations to buy back her masters and her ultimate decision to re-record her albums. We talked to a senior executive at a record label to dig deep: Why don’t artists own their masters? Does it really matter in the end? And why is this such a hot topic now?💫 Colleen Ballinger has responded to allegations of abusing and manipulating fans. In a video posted to her YouTube account, she addresses the situation while playing a ukulele. Netizens are calling out the video as a non-apology that mocks the gravity of the allegations. We discuss what accountability looks like, and why internet stars are beholden to a different level of accountability than A-list movie stars and artists.💫 A Twitter user hiding under the guise of an Olivia Rodrigo fan account posted fabricated interview quotes from Rodrigo supporting Johnny Depp, calling Beyonce a “hasbeen”, and more. This leads us to emphasize the importance of media literacy, at a time when it’s all too easy to believe the first thing you read.Enjoy this episode?

This week 💫 Bebe Rexha, Ava Max suffer injuries after being assaulted on stage by adult men. Just two days after Bebe Rexha was hit with a flying phone and received stitches, Ava Max was slapped in the face while performing. We explore the shift in concert culture and fan expectations, including how fans engage with “accessible” pop stars. We also discuss issues of concert safety and what “threatening” fan behavior looks like coming from men with perceived credibility vs fangirls with perceived hysterics.💫 Kesha and Dr. Luke settled their court case that began in 2014, just one month prior to the trial. This comes after the New York Court of Appeals ruled that Dr. Luke is a “limited public figure,” subjecting Luke to a higher burden of proof in his defamation case against Kesha. The two shared an Instagram post with their statements on June 22 as part of their resolution to the lawsuit. We discuss why this is a win for Kesha by avoiding a trail that would likely have brought up past trauma and online vitriol for victims of abuse.💫 Fangirl news includes: Harry Styles flirting with fans on stage, Kourtney Kardashian announcing her pregnancy at Travis’s concert, kpop idols turning into fans at Bruno Mars’ concert, Tomorrow x Together’s collab with Jonas BrothersEnjoy this episode?
