After 33 years, Ritchie Blackmore's surprise reunion with Deep Purple at Jones Beach is the day's biggest story, a moment fans thought would never come. Elsewhere, Taylor Swift keeps pulling her music from White House TikToks, and the Kurupt and DJ Battlecat album gets a deep-dive review that's really about Death Row's messy legacy.
Two long-awaited returns hit today, one from a guitar legend and one from a K-pop star, but they're very different kinds of homecomings.
The 81-year-old guitarist ending a 33-year estrangement to play 'Smoke on the Water' is the kind of moment that resets expectations for what's possible in rock reunions. It's a genuine shock, not a teased reunion.
Chaeyoung leaving JYP after 14 years is a real shift for TWICE, even if she's framing it as a new beginning. The question is how much of her solo work stays within the group's orbit.
The fight over who controls the music keeps playing out in public, from Swift's TikTok removals to the slow rebuild of Death Row's streaming catalog.
Swift pulling another song from a White House TikTok is less about the individual track and more about her consistent, quiet resistance to having her music used in political posts. It's a pattern that keeps escalating.
This review uses the Kurupt and DJ Battlecat collab to examine how Snoop's Death Row rebuild is missing the big masters, which puts the whole project in a strange position. The album's quality matters less than that context.
