Stapleton Goes P!nk

Posted on by

You know who’s a fan of Chris Stapleton? I mean, besides you. And me. And like, everyone (except my friend Colleen’s dad, but he’s wrong). Pink. Pink is a fan of Chris Stapleton. She’s such a fan that she invited Chris to duet with her on a song called “Love Me Anyway” on her latest album Hurts 2B Human. The song is FIRE. So good. Two incredible voices combined to give you goosebumps.

But it gets better.

When Pink played a sold out show at Madison Square Garden in New York, she started the song, and then Chris joined her onstage for their first public performance of it together. Obviously, the crowd went nuts.

She posted a pic on Instagram from the performance, raving about his voice, his songwriting, and his general awesomeness as a person, and what an honor it was to share the stage with him.

I’d just like to go on record saying I need them to come to Nashville and perform this song together. Pink? Chris? What do you say?

Rick Rock In the Studio

Legendary Rick Rock Beats steps into the Chopshop with Raymond T.  Many have called him the pioneer of the "Hyphy Movement" out of the Bay Area, as the founder of The Federation.  Since the '90s through today, Rock is well respected from the West to the East Coast, having produced a ton of Hip Hop heavyweights, including the late, great 2pac, E-40, Snoop Dogg, Jay Z, and Busta Rhymes.

As a man devoted to his craft, Rick Rock even pulled up on us with his keyboard and MPC just in case he caught inspiration.  In this episode of the Chop Shop, he opens up about working with the legends, as well as the good, bad and ugly of Hip Hop today, his latest project, and what's in store for the rest of 2019.  After almost thirty years in the game, there's no slowing down for Rick Rock Beats! Check out the entire session here.

For Those About To Rock…

Here at LivexLive, we love to count stuff down. In fact, we offer a killer assortment of weekly shows that run through the top songs in every major genre. For example, we just launched the latest edition of the Weekly ROCK Countdown (and, yes, we put the word “rock” in all cap’s for a reason). Five interesting things about the countdown follow, and you can check out the whole, massive thing right here.

Thing #1: Slipknot scored one of two debuts this week, as “Unsainted” slipped in at #40. They revealed their new masks last week, and joined our countdown this week. Nice work, Slipknot.

Thing #2: I Prevail made the biggest jump, soaring from #37 to #22 with “Breaking Down.” The song raises awareness about depression for men and how it impacts relationships. It’s deep. And it’s kind of pretty. But it still rocks, so shut up.

Thing #3: Bad Wolves continue to kick serious ass. “Remember When” has held down the top slot for six weeks now.

Thing #4: Rival Sons have been stuck at #2 for the entire six weeks that Bad Wolves have been at #1. Don’t feel bad for them, though, they just announced a 12-city fall tour with Stone Temple Pilots.

Thing #5: Sevendust cannot be destroyed. Their track “Dirty” has been on the countdown for twenty consecutive weeks. That’s nuts, and they’re still moving up, jumping two slots to #22

There are plenty of other things to learn on the Weekly ROCK Countdown. So join us and learn. And rock.
