Robert Earl Keen Taps Tyler Childers, Miranda Lambert for Massive Texas Flood Benefit
Keen told Rolling Stone last week when he announced the benefit that he prioritized 'ensuring the musical intent was solid.' Keen's home of Kerrville was in the center of the hardest hit areas of the floods that began on July 4 and have so claimed more than 130 lives. In discussing the impact on Kerrville and the surrounding Hill Country, as well as the daunting recovery and relief efforts that lie ahead, he said, 'Do as much as you can, for as long as you can.'

Trisha Paytas Pushes Back on Reincarnation Conspiracies: ‘My Baby Is Just a Baby'
Trisha Paytas probably feels like a passenger on Ozzy Osbourne's 'Crazy Train' as the internet continues to push conspiracies that her newborn baby, Aquaman, is the musician reincarnated. 'My baby is just a baby y'all,' the social media figure captioned a TikTok post where she played the song with the aside, 'What plays in my head 12 days postpartum and the internet won't stop with the reincarnation conspiracies.' Paytas gave birth on July 12, but didn't make the grand reveal online until July 22. Within hours of her announcement, news broke that Osbourne had died at the age of 76. Suddenly, there was a collective sense of déjà vu. As her comment section filled with people joking 'Welcome back, Ozzy,' it called to mind the fervor around her daughter Malibu, who was born the same day that Queen Elizabeth II died in 2022. The reincarnation jokes had reincarnated themselves.

'The fact that my pregnancy got ruined by trolling — now, I guess, it's kind of funny and karmatic. But it just made me so upset.' In a follow-up TikTok, Paytas added: 'I know reincarnation theories about my babies are just a meme, it's just what the internet does, but I'm not gonna lie — being 12 days postpartum sometimes make you feel a little cookoo. I'm like, wait, why does the internet keep wanting to put souls into my baby? First of all, reincarnation is only one soul into one baby, if you believe in that. Second of all, you guys, I don't know much about reincarnation, I just know that the soul has to be passed along.' She admits that the Queen Elizabeth II jokes were 'kind of funny,' though she found the Pope Francis theories (she was pregnant with Aquaman when he died) less comedic. But more than anything, she said, 'It makes me sad, it makes me feel like I did something wrong.' The Osbourne jokes are even more uncomfortable for her. 'Ozzy has real family, he is such an icon,' she said. 'It's more real. Ozzy's more real. There's real people involved and I don't know if they would love being tied to [him] being reincarnated. They just lost him. And then everyone else passing away, it's not my uterus doing it.'

Latin Mafia, Omar Apollo Sing a Melancholic Cumbia on ‘Hecho Para Ti'
Omar Apollo's short-lived El Buki hair finally served a purpose. On Thursday, Latin Mafia released their flowy, sad boy cumbia 'Hecho Para Ti,' featuring vocals from Apollo, as they channeled the late Eighties and early Nineties in their video. The video captures retro, VHS-style footage of the Mexican trio performing the sad song with Apollo in a nightclub straight from your tío's album of photos from his bailador days. The video plays like a pixelated home video as Latin Mafia and Apollo perform, accompanied by a cumbia band. The performance visual is spliced with close-ups of the members of the band. More from Rolling Stone Addison Rae Is Sombr's Sultry Obsession in '12 to 12' Video Katseye Enrolls at Monster High for Reimagined 'Fright Song' Conan Gray Gets His Heart Broken in 'Vodka Cranberry' Video 'What am I to you?/I'm too much for you/But I'm made for you,' Apollo sings en español. 'My love, my love… (Oh-oh)/It's not so far off/And it's not so complicated.' Apollo and Latin Mafia have been teasing the song for months, and Apollo even joined the group during a performance at Mexico City' Palacio de los Deportes during the band's tour back in May. Aside from a Colors Show rendition of 'Siento que merezco más,' this marks the band's first release since dropping their album Todos Los Días Todo el Día, which features tracks such as 'Nunca He Sido Honesto,' 'Me Estoy Cayendo,' and 'Yo Siempre Contesto.' 'For us, Latin Mafia has no genre. We want to expand upon the Mexa sound,' Emilio de la Rosa told Rolling Stone last year. 'This album is an excess of noise saturation in vocals and in production. Above all, it's our aspirations to create a different formula in the Mexa music industry.' For his part, Apollo joined Malcolm Todd for 'Bleed' in February, after releasing his LP, God Said No, last summer.
