Earlier this week we heard how big Willy was going to record and probably perform the official Fifa football World Cup song in Russia this summer.

We don't know how that will sound yet but the rapper/actor has teased his musical comeback in a new video. Will says he's "re-energised" and has "got the beast back", as he raps about reminding the world who he is, the Fresh Prince of Bel Air and marrying Rihanna.

His last album; Lost and Found, came out in 2005.

Sadly as a sign of the times even Will Smith swears in this new one, so you'll have to find it for yourselves on his YouTube page.

Chuck Auerbach has announced his debut album; Remember Me, and it's coming out on his famous son's own label.

Dan's Easy Eye Sound will release his dad's music on 15 June - that's Father''s Day in the US which I think we all agree is quite a gift.

Dan played guitar and part-produced the record.

"After getting so much help over the years from my dad I was happy to lend a hand in the making of this record and return the favour,” he said.

Awww.

The first single is, appropriately, My Old Man and it's above.

Let's hope he's proves as talented as Drake's old man - Dennis Graham., external

Not long now until kick-off folks.

One big bank holiday weekend of music from the four corners of the UK>

We've all been getting in the mood in MNL towers with a bit of Noel G, Billy O and Paloma F (scroll down).

Seems we are not the only ones either.

Watch above as one pensioner casts her ears over a bit of Camila Cabello.

The US singer was responding to tweets referring the rapper's reported arrest last week, for drink driving, after he crashed his car in LA.

One Twitter user said what happened to Miller after "Grande dumped him" was "the most heartbreaking thing".

Grande said she should not be shamed "for a man's inability to keep it together".

Her full reply to user Elijah Flint reads, "how absurd that you minimise female self-respect and self-worth by saying someone should stay in a toxic relationship because he wrote an album about them, which by the way isn't the case (just Cinderella is about me).

"I am not a babysitter or a mother and no woman should feel that they need to be.

The twitter user has since apologised, external to Ariana.

It's after lunch now but do you think you might have some room for new music to chew on?

First up is the latest from emo-rockers and summer headliners at Reading and Leeds, Panic! At The Disco and their new upbeat new track High Hopes (above).

"Had to have high, high hopes for a living / Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing / Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision", sings Brendan Urie in this tale of triumph over adversity which apparently boasts TEN writers, external.

Hope they're not all planning on crashing the Reading stage in August, we're not sure the structure could take it.

Next up is BBC Sound of 2018 competitor Maggie Rogers and her latest track Fallingwater.

It's been produced by collaborator Rostam (Batmanglij, formerly of Vampire Weekend).

She explained the song with a helpful tweet below, saying the song "celebrates rapid change".

Well, we liked what we heard almost immediately and we haven't changed out mind, which is reason to celebrate.

OK so it's one more sleep until the BBC's Biggest Weekend starts in earnest... or in Belfast and Perth to be more precise.

Today's #TBT is a selection of archive sets from some of the legends including both Gallagher brothers, Paloma Faith and Billy Ocean.

Watch all four now.

The pair will headline Bestival, external this summer under the name Silk City and they've released a new track with a very optimistic title.

Only Can Get Better, features the vocals of Daniel Merriweather and was Annie Mac's Hottest Record last night.

DJ Mark told Annie;

In other news, as well as going under Silk City, Mark on his own would now like to be referred to as Ron.

Writing and broadcasting about music is a dream job for a lot of young people (and a few failed musicians).

Legendary writers like Lester Bangs, Julie Burchill and Nick Kent helped shape the way we think about music and, in some cases, became as famous as the stars they wrote about.

Music journalism is a notoriously hard industry to break into - and, with magazine circulations in a downward spiral, an even harder one to make a living out of.

But there's still hope... As part of BBC Music's Biggest Weekend fringe, 6 Music's Elizabeth Alker hosted a debate on the future of music journalism, while offering tips on how to get a foothold in the industry.

Here's some of the advice for aspiring hacks.

Veteran club DJ Pete Tong has called for more emotional support for artists and DJs working in electronic music.

Speaking at the annual International Music Summit (IMS) in Ibiza, Pete called Avicii - who died aged 28 in April "one of the most talented and successful artists of his generation".

"The warp factor speed of his breakthrough fueled by the adrenaline rush and global connectivity of social media ensured that Tim’s feet never touched the ground," said Pete.

"Tim had no training, there was no apprenticeship...He’d not even had a proper job."

Pete called the Avicii - whose name was Tom Bergling - story "unique - it's the perfect storm in the sense that few will ever be that young and that talented, making the right music, at precisely the time when a world wide musical movement is about to explode."

He added: "Given they way it turned out I hope we never see it again - BUT his death has put the spotlight firmly back on our profession - The Life of a DJ ".

The body of the Swedish DJ was found at a hotel in Oman.

His family said he was "an over-achieving perfectionist who travelled and worked hard at a pace that led to extreme stress".

"He wanted to find peace."

Pete - who was made an MBE in 2014 - for his career in broadcasting and music said his hope is that DJ’s "feel less shame and more encouraged to speak up and seek help when they are struggling".

He added: "The wider music community have organisations like Music Cares & Help Musicians to reach out to in times of struggle."I ask - is it time to establish a support group or fellowship for those in the electronic music industry?"

The band - and close pals of Miles Kane (below) - will perform a 30-minute set for Radio 1 and BBC Two at the Maida Vale Studios next month.

The special will be presented by Radio 1’s Annie Mac and will see Alex and the boys pick some cuts from their sixth studio album, the lunar-conceptual Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino.

They might even chuck in a few classics from their back catalogue.

The performance will be broadcast on Annie’s Radio 1 show on 7 June and will be broadcast on BBC Two on 8 June before going on to iPlayer and Radio 1’s YouTube channel.

We caught up one half of The Last Shadow Puppets a wee while back to discuss the inspiration behind his forthcoming third solo album Coup De Grace (which translates as the final blow).

It's named after the Merseysider's favourite wrestling move but is a metaphor for something rather more emotional.

He told us how Lana Del Rey (below) and Jamie T helped him write his way through some serious "girl troubles" in his adopted hometown of Los Angeles.

"He [Jamie] was playing this little acoustic gig and I went there to see him and as I walk in I see Lana" he told MNL.

"I had a bit of a face on me because I'd just split up with my girlfriend at the time.

"She was like 'what's up with you? Girl troubles?'

"I said 'yeah... Is that obvious?'"

Miles is off on his UK tour now and plays the Sugarmill in Stoke tonight.

Fall in Line sees Aguilera and Lovato fire out a warning to little girls everywhere as they are captured by oppressive forces and incarcerated in a metaphorical (and quite literal) prison.

It's a thinly-veiled attack on society's treatment of women and you can watch it below.

Luckily we can report there is a happy ending as they use the power of falsetto and a few sly digs to break out.

Miraculously they even make it back to the exact same spot where they were captured 20 years previously.

We always knew Christina was a Fighter, external.

The pair performed the track at Sunday night's Billboard Awards in Las Vegas.

The band's new album Love Is Dead, due out on Friday was reviewed in Stereogum.

Writer Chris DeVille called the album "frustrating" in his piece about "how difficult it is for once-trendy bands to transcend their moment."

"Love Is Dead is not a faceplant, but it’s definitely a stumble," he claimed.

Lauren is apparently not the sort of person to take this lying down and penned a scathing response to the review - a pretty rare things for an artists to do these days.

"If you don’t like the music, fine. If you don’t like the band, fine. If you don’t like me, fine / I feel you 99% of the time," she said on Twitter, external.

"But please don’t make this music and this record a symbol or scapegoat for something.”

DeVille's assessment of several songs which "function well enough as fight songs for #TheResistance" seemed to particularly grind Lauren's gears.

“Looking down your nose at songs as ‘fight songs for the resistance’ is pretentious, weak behaviour that means more than you think it does – and weirdly says more about you than it does about its creator.”

Guess Chris won't be flying over from the States to see their UK tour next month.

Liam Gallagher has met his 21-year-old daughter, Molly Moorish, for the first time.

The 45-year-old revealed the news by posting a photo, external of him standing alongside Molly, who was raised by her mother, singer Lisa Moorish.

They were joined by Lennon and Gene, Gallagher's sons from his marriages to Patsy Kensit and Nicole Appleton.

Last year, the former Oasis and new found solo star admitted he had "never got around" to meeting Molly, saying he "didn't get on" with her mum.

"Got no problem with the girl whatsoever," he told GQ magazine, external.

"The girl's been looked after and clothed and fed and sent to lovely schools. I bought them a house and all that tack. I just think she's best off with her mum."

Asked if he'd be open to meeting her, Gallagher replied he was "open to everything".

It is thought the meeting took place at the London Stadium on Tuesday, where Gallagher was supporting the Rolling Stones.

We can't bring you the full song on MNL as Zayn does drop a few big swear words in the direction of his deceitful ex lover.

We'll put his bad language down as a crime of passion.
