Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood’s new side project the Smile have released their raging debut single “You Will Never Work in Television Again.”
The band — which includes drummer Tom Skinner and longtime Radiohead collaborator Nigel Godrich — open the track with dystopian wails, before kicking off with a surging riff and Yorke’s vocals: “Fear not my love, he’s a fat fucking mist/Young bones spat out, girls slitting their wrists.”
The Smile debuted the track last May at Glastonbury’s Live at Worthy Farm livestream, where they performed for their first-ever set (where they opened with a cover of Radiohead’s “Skirting on the Surface”).
In addition to the new single, the Smile also announced they’ll perform three consecutive live shows in 24 hours, taking place on Jan. 29 at Magazine London. They’ll perform to an intimate audience, while each performance will be livestreamed at 3:00 p.m., 8:00 p.m., and 6:00 a.m. ET. Physical and livestream tickets go on sale Friday.
Starting now and continuing until he decides otherwise, Lil Baby plans to roll out a brand new track every Wednesday. The previous week, he came through with a smooth record titled "Try To Love," but today he switched things up by delivering something with more bite and intensity. His latest drop is called "Otha Boy," and it already feels like a song that could take off. When you compare this release to some of his recent work, Lil Baby sounds noticeably more self-assured. You can hear a renewed sense of confidence in his voice.
It almost brings back memories of the Lil Baby era that had crowds stunned during 2020 and 2021. For longtime listeners, that is an exciting shift, and it makes you wonder how he plans to keep this rhythm going as the weeks pass. Fans will definitely be watching closely to see whether he can maintain this spark through the rest of his weekly releases.
