Lainey Wilson is bringing her signature country edge to the rock world as she joins multi-GRAMMY Award-winning Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees Aerosmith and British multi-platinum artist and GRAMMY® nominated artist Yungblud for a fiery new rendition of “Wild Woman (Lainey Wilson Version).”

The original version of the scorching track appears on the rock acts’ collaborative EPOne More Time, out now via Capitol Records. Amid the pulsating rhythms, the artists spanning multiple genres come together to tackle a story that’s both vulnerable and honest, capturing the push-and-pull of complicated relationships.

The song also digs into the scarifies that come with fame and life on the road, noting and how constantly moving between connection and distance can make it hard to maintain healthy relationships. At its core, “Wild Woman” serves as an introspective look at love, heartbreak, and the messy side of romance, especially as someone who has already dedicated so much of their heart to their craft.

Yungblud opens the track with raw energy, soon joined by Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, whose vocals escalate the intensity until the rockers come together in a soaring, powerhouse delivery. Midway through, Lainey Wilson’s Louisiana-bred voice weaves into the narrative, softening the edges and adding a new layer of emotional depth, before the rockers take it home.

“Why wild woman/ You taking back every truth you told?/ I hurt you but You hurt me more I don’t wanna be alone/ So hurt me some more I don’t wanna be alone/ Hurt me some more/ Why?/ Why?/ Why?” they collectively ask with a pleading in their voices.

According to Lainey Wilson, this unexpected collaboration came about after she and Steven Tyler met at the 2025 GRAMMYs and performed “Dream On” together at Tyler’s 6th annual Jam for Janie benefit in February. Then, while building out the One More Time project, Tyler and Yungblud had the idea to invite Wilson to add her vocals to the track, while Joe Perry returned to the studio to create a fresh guitar part for this version. The reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year happily took them up on the offer.

“Yeah, so I got to spend a little bit of time with Steven Tyler during the Grammys this past year and they reached out probably like a month or so ago. It was a really quick turnaround. But I mean, as soon as I heard the song, I was like, okay, I know what I want to do on my end. And they really just gave me some creative freedom, and I went at it. It’s gonna’ be fun. I’m ready to do it live with them. I’m like, okay, we gotta make that happen now. Where, when? Tell me what time. Let’s do it,” Wilson told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe.

 Yungblud echoed Wilson’s excitement to collaborate and bring a fresh rendition of the track to life. He gushed over her musical journey, admitting he’s been a fan of hers “for a while.”

 “I’m really hyped to have Lainey Wilson jump on this record with us,” he shared. “I have been a fan of her for a while. Her life story is truly inspirational. With this record, we really needed a female vocalist who could carry it with the level of authenticity that Lainey embodies. We needed a wild woman and we for sure got one!”

The release of “Wild Woman” comes after the One More Time EP made a huge splash on the charts and became one of the biggest rock debuts of the year when it landed in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200. This milestone extends Aerosmith’s incredible six-decade run of Top 10 Billboard 200 entries and gives Yungblud his first-ever Top 10 on the chart.

With nearly 40,000 units sold in its first week, the EP also hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Rock Albums, topped Indie Store Album Sales, reached No. 2 on Vinyl Albums, and No. 3 on Top Album Sales. Internationally, it debuted at No. 1 in the UK, signaling Aerosmith’s first UK chart-topper in 49 years and Yungblud’s second UK No. 1 this year, while landing in the Top 5 in countries like Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Switzerland.

One More Time is monumental for Aerosmith as it marks their first new music in over twelve years. The five-track collection, produced by Matt Schwartz, brings together two generations of rock across four original songs co-written by Aerosmith and Yungblud. Each track features Tyler and Yungblud dueting, with Joe Perry’s iconic guitar leading the sonic side to the tunes.

The lead single, “My Only Angel,” debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, stayed in the Top 10 for three weeks, and appeared across multiple rock and alternative charts. Later, Aerosmith and Yungblud released a stripped-down version called “My Only Angel (Desert Road Version),” which featured a guest appearance from GRAMMY® winner Steve Martin on banjo.

Along with these songs and the original version of “Wild Woman,” fans can explore “Problems,” “A Thousand Days,” and the final track, a newly remixed version of the Aerosmith

“THE DEEPEST VOICE IN COUNTRY GOSPEL.” On April 24, 2020, country music lost the man many called the soul of The Statler Brothers. Harold Reid was 80 when illness quietly carried him away. There were no farewell tours. No final curtain call. Just silence where his bass voice used to live. For decades, that voice had been the foundation of every harmony — steady, warm, and unmistakable. When the news spread, fans didn’t rush to headlines. They went to songs. “Flowers on the Wall.” “Bed of Rose’s.” “I’ll Go to My Grave Loving You.” Some said the harmonies felt heavier that day. As if one voice was missing… but still echoing. Harold never sang lead like a star. He sang underneath — like a promise holding everything together. And maybe that’s why losing him felt different. It wasn’t the spotlight that went out. It was the heartbeat. Was his final harmony meant to be a goodbye… or just a pause before heaven joined in?

Every Paul McCartney concert has its loud moments—but the quietest one is always the loudest. After the thunder of “Helter Skelter,” the lights dim and Paul McCartney walks to the piano. The crowd already knows what’s coming. When the first notes of Maybe I’m Amazed ring out, the stadium stops breathing. Written in 1970, the song has aged into something deeper: a lifelong conversation with Linda McCartney. As Paul sings, giant screens glow with Linda’s photographs—family moments, soft smiles, an ordinary love made eternal. He often says only, “I wrote this for Linda.” He doesn’t need more. His voice, still cracking on the high notes, carries everything he cannot say. In songs like “My Love” and throughout his time with Wings, Linda is never absent. She isn’t gone—just off-stage, living forever in the music. 👉 Read more reflections in the first comment.

ATEST NEWS: Music Legend Cliff Richard Sparks Firestorm in London — Just Hours Before a Major Prime-Time Appearance, the 84-Year-Old Icon Reportedly Refused to Wear a Rainbow-Themed Patch Meant to Show Solidarity with the LGBTQ Community. Instead, He Delivered a Blunt, Unscripted Statement Condemning What He Called the “Woke Agenda.” Within Minutes, Fans Across Britain Were Divided — Some Calling Him Brave, Others Saying He’s Gone Too Far… LATEST NEWS: CLIFF RICHARD SPARKS FIRESTORM IN LONDON — FANS DIVIDED AFTER HIS REFUSAL TO WEAR RAINBOW PATCH ON LIVE TV London was already buzzing ahead of Cliff Richard’s highly anticipated prime-time television appearance — but few expected the headlines that followed. Just hours before taking the stage, the 84-year-old music legend reportedly declined to wear a rainbow-themed patch intended to show public solidarity with the LGBTQ community. According to multiple sources present backstage, producers had offered the patch to all performers as part of a segment promoting “unity through inclusion.” Cliff, however, chose not to take part. When asked why, he reportedly replied with calm but unmistakable conviction. 💬 “I’ve always believed in kindness and respect,” he said, “but I won’t let anyone tell me what symbols I have to wear to prove it.” The moment caught everyone off guard. Instead of rehearsing lines for the televised opening, Cliff turned to the audience and shared an unscripted reflection that would ignite a storm across Britain. “There’s a difference between love and agenda,” he continued. “Real love doesn’t need to broadcast itself through pressure or politics. It’s lived, not displayed.” The reaction was immediate — and fierce. Within minutes, social media erupted. Supporters praised him as “fearlessly authentic,” “a man of faith and principle,” and “the last of his kind.” Critics, however, accused him of “disrespect,” “intolerance,” and “turning his back on the inclusive values that once defined his generation’s music.” By evening, hashtags bearing his name were trending across the UK, and television pundits debated whether this was an act of moral conviction or a painful misstep by a national treasure. Those close to the singer describe the moment not as rebellion, but as reflection. “He wasn’t trying to start a fight,” said one longtime associate. “He was simply being Cliff Richard — thoughtful, independent, unwilling to perform anything that doesn’t come from the heart.” For more than six decades, Sir Cliff Richard has balanced faith, fame, and artistic integrity — rarely shying away from standing by his beliefs. His catalog of hits, from “We Don’t Talk Anymore” to “The Young Ones,” has made him one of the most beloved entertainers in British history. But tonight, it’s his words, not his music, echoing through living rooms across the nation. Outside the London venue, one fan summed up the divide best: “You don’t have to agree with him to respect his courage. He’s 84, and he’s still speaking his truth.” Whether viewed as courage or controversy, Cliff Richard’s refusal — and the statement that followed — has reignited a national conversation about authenticity, conscience, and the cost of standing alone. And as the night drew to a close, one thing was certain: even after seven decades in the spotlight, Cliff Richard remains as unflinchingly himself as ever — still sparking debate, still commanding attention, and still singing to the rhythm of his own heart.
