SEVENTEEN have dropped their new single ‘Hot’, a cut from their latest full-length album ‘Face The Sun’.

Justin Timberlake has sold his song catalogue to Hipgnosis Song Management, in a deal that gives the company all the rights to the artist’s previously released music. Hipgnosis Song Management have bought 100 per cent of Timberlake’s rights, including to tracks like ‘SexyBack’, ‘Rock Your Body’, and ‘Can’t Stop The Feeling’.

When season three of Stranger Things ended with a mall-based battle to the death with a many-tentacled beast from the Upside Down, it was hard to imagine how the Netflix show’s creators could top such darkness and horror.

First recorded at Electric Lady in Greenwich Village, New York – an iconic recording studio which had previously played host to Jimi Hendrix, Blondie, Rolling Stones and Lou Reed – it was written for the band’s fifth album ‘Combat Rock’. While much of the rest of the record was filled with references to the Vietnam War and American politics, this jangling single combined the snarl of punk with giant power-pop melodies, rockabilly and Spanish backing vocals.

Watching Bob’s Burgers is like hanging out with a mate who’s really funny, but also fundamentally decent. It’s a show that’s quite literally about a family – titular patty purveyor Bob (H. Jon Benjamin), wife Linda (John Roberts) and kids Tina (Dan Mintz), Gene (Eugene Mirman), and Louise (Kristen Schaal) – that really captures all the warmth and messiness of family life. The series recently wrapped its 12th season (with a 13th on the way), but creator Loren Bouchard isn’t getting complacent. In fact, he’s just co-written and co-directed The Bob’s Burgers Movie, the show’s first ever cinematic spin-off.
