A perhaps vain attempt to clear John Mayer’s name of a brief list of charges

The 1990s was perhaps the last great decade to be a woman in the music industry. That’s not to say we don’t have amazing women making music now — we do. But the ’90s gave us the riot grrrl, Lilith Fair, and a plethora of female-fronted acts. Today,…

Guns N’ Roses can act as hard as they want – and they do – but at their core they’re crowd-pleasers. They know their fans want raining pyro, climbing and jumping off stage monitors, and extended guitar solos, and they delivered handsomely to a melting audience.

We dissect the rapper’s biggest track ahead of his show in West Palm Beach.

Forty-seven-year-old Mariah Carey is casually splayed out on her kitchen counter wearing only a boob-strangling negligé in a particularly entertaining scene from her new TV show, Mariah’s World. The E! reality series premiered last December and follows her antics during her Sweet Sweet Fantasy Tour. In the scene, as in…

Churchill’s Pub hosts its eighth-annual Bowie in Space event, its second since David Bowie’s passing.

A summary of the Broward rapper’s hits and misses ahead of his August 10 show in Coral Gables.

Guns N’ Roses “Welcome to the Jungle” is an ode to the City of Angels, where the spotlight can burn those who aren’t careful. But the song might as well be about Miami, a city where if the shady characters don’t get you, the alligators will. Feel free to sing…

Yes, we’re still in the depths of another record-hot Miami summer, but it’s never too early to think about fall, especially when it comes to Halloween. Even if you haven’t even begun to consider a costume idea or weighed your party options, the folks at Diskolab are here to give you something to do the weekend ahead of All Saints’ Day: It’s Wynwood Fear Factory, y’all.

Although he isn’t quite yet a household name, Khalid already has a double-platinum debut single in “Location” and a gold-certified debut record in American Teen.

In the span of only three years, Carpenter has made the jump from folk-tinged acoustic pop music to radio-ready songs such as her latest single, “Why,” which deals with decidedly teenage subject matter but gives Carpenter’s music a contemporary and mature upgrade.

The theory of alternate realities posits that right next to this reality are infinite universes, together comprising everything that exists. If that’s true, somewhere out there is a reality where every rock star dresses like a superhero. This is a world where no lip comes near a microphone without lipstick on it, where no T-shirts or jeans are allowed onstage, where Insane Clown Posse is not an outlier laughingstock but the norm in a society in which every rocker is decked out in outlandish costumes, makeup, and wigs.

Steely Dan evokes seediness and glamour in equal measure, conjuring imagery of fabulous, decadent cities and the pained, dysfunctional folks who occupy them. Naturally, they’re a perfect fit for Miami’s aesthetic.

Sunday evening, while most of North America was entrenched in the continuing legends of Game of Thrones (and Rick and Morty), one man furthered his own legacy in Miami. Wu-Tang Clan member and “mafia rap” veteran Raekwon the Chef brought the Wild Tour to Churchill’s Pub.

When the 2016 Grammy nominations were announced in December, the Album of the Year category listed some no-brainers: Beyoncé, with her pop-cultural seismic event Lemonade; eventual winner Adele, who’d previously won the award for her once-in-a-decade album, 21; and staples like Drake and Justin Bieber, who appeared less for their latest albums than as an acknowledgment of their chart domination and cultural influence.
