Maroon 5 released the official music video for “All Night,” starring frontman Adam Levine’s wife Behati Prinsloo in the role of the band’s “new lead singer.”

In a social media post, the band said the video, directed by Aerin Moreno, was inspired by Robert Palmer’s 1989 “Simply Irresistible” video. In that video, the singer stood in a black suit, singing in front of a group of expressionless women dressed in brightly colored minidresses. Levine told “Entertainment Tonight” — “Robert Palmer had this iconic video, but he was in front and he had these beautiful women in the back. Instead, we’re having B [Behati] in front. She’s the beautiful woman, and all of us less attractive guys in the back.”

“All Night” is part of Maroon 5’s new album “Love is Like;” the band will also kick off a 23-city tour in Phoenix on October 6.

Sarah McLachlan to release ‘Better Broken,’ her first album in over a decade

No Comments on Sarah McLachlan to release ‘Better Broken,’ her first album in over a decade

Sarah McLachlan at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. NEW YORK CITY - NOVEMBER 24 2016

Sarah McLachlan will release Better Broken, her tenth studio album (and first album of new material in over a decade), due out September 19th. McLachlan wrote on social media: ‘I am so thrilled to finally be able to announce my new album Better Broken will be released on September 19!! This album was so much fun to make and producers Tony Berg, Will Maclellan and I had such an amazing joyful time building the songs together, I’ve never laughed so much in a recording studio. ’

Better Broken takes its title from its opening track, and comes alongside the official music video, directed by Lauren Wade and produced by Zebulon Griffin. McLachlan shared: “A lot of the lyrics on this record came from thinking about the world right now and asking, ‘How do we move through this landscape? How do we keep our heads above water when it feels like so much is falling apart?’ I don’t know if I have any answers, but channeling all that angst and uncertainty into the music has been so cathartic. I hope that this record provides people with some relief and release—but in the end I just want them to take whatever they need from it, and make the songs part of their own story.”

McLachlan also has dropped the second single from the upcoming LP, the song “Gravity” — which “delves deeper into McLachlan’s emotional life and explores the complexities of her relationship with her older daughter.” McLachlan shares of the song: “For a long time my daughter and I had a very combative and fraught relationship, and what I came to realize is that so much of what I perceived as obstinance or rage was actually masking a ton of anxiety on her part. We went to counseling together, and I learned that she felt so alone and unvalidated by me—which was devastating to hear, but it led us both to change the way we communicate with each other. I wrote ‘Gravity’ as a way of saying to her, ‘I’ve always loved you and want the best for you, and you’re perfect the way you are.’”

“What do I say now?” lead singer Matthew Ramsey asked from the stage, before going on to discuss the band’s sixth album.

Juneau, Alaska sees record glacier-related flooding, prompting evacuations

No Comments on Juneau, Alaska sees record glacier-related flooding, prompting evacuations

Tourist visiting Mendenhall Glacier. Juneau. Alaska.

Evacuations are underway in parts of Alaska’s capital of Juneau after a glacial outburst sent water rushing down the Mendenhall River into areas in the region, which is expected to cause major flooding. The flooding is being caused by a “glacier-dammed lake outburst” (GLOF) which occurs when a lake dammed by ice or a glacial deposit gives way and releases heavy amounts of water into river systems further downstream.

The city and borough of Juneau announced that it “is aware of the presence of water in certain areas” and that anyone within the flood zone of the Mendenhall River should evacuate the area. A Facebook post read: “A glacial outburst has occurred at Suicide Basin. The basin is releasing and flooding is expected along the Mendenhall Lake and River.”

Officials have recommended that residents within the 17-foot lake level inundation zone evacuate the area until the water recedes and an “All Clear” message is sent via the wireless emergency alert system. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) also issued a temporary flight restriction (TFR) around the area.

The National Weather Service (NWS) office in Juneau issued a Flood Warning for the Mendenhall River and said that as of early Wednesday morning, the river was over 15 feet and was continuing to rise: “Our forecast right now, we’re starting to think that we’re going to crest, we were messaging 8 a.m. though 12 p.m., we’re thinking our crest might be closer to 8 in the morning and might be closer to the higher end of the spectrum,” with forecasters estimating that the river was expected to crest between 16.25 feet and 16.75 feet.

Suicide Basin is a side basin of the Mendenhall Glacier above Juneau. Since 2011, the NWS said Suicide Basin has released glacial lake outburst floods that caused inundation along Mendenhall Lake and River annually with a record flooding event taking place on Aug. 6, 2024, that had caused the river to reach a then-record level of 15.99 feet. As of 10 a.m. EDT Wednesday, the river had already reached 16.17 feet and was still rising. The flood warning is scheduled to remain in effect until 12 p.m. EDT on Thursday.
