I supported Cole's decision not to partake in the beef. What’s understood doesn’t need to be explained; argue with yourself. Anywho, moving on, I want to thank Dreamville, J. Cole’s PR team, and Cole himself for allowing the small pond publications access to capture the show. I am healed for the rest of the week. ## [Extended Concert Review - Usher and Chris Brown](https://www.ayesharp.com/blog/chris-brown-and-usher) _2026-08-18 · Lori Garland · Ayesharp Review Blog_ Y'all, it’s been a minute.

There’s hints of her band Paramore, and many of the songs, if they lose their programmed-sounding beats and autotune background vocal flourishes, could be turned into emo songs, with ease. But like she’s said Continue reading "HAYLEY WILLIAMS, EGO DEATH AT THE BACHLORETTE PARTY" ## [BILL HOMANS & THE RIGHTEOUS RAMBLERS, GOT A BAD HABIT](https://prismreviews.wordpress.com/2026/08/03/bill-homans-the-righteous-ramblers-got-a-bad-habit/) _2026-08-03 · prismreviews · Prism Reviews_ “If your plans fall through, as they sometimes do, I think you oughta come see me.” Baltimore’s Bill Homans sings songs about the tenderness and tenuousness of love, with his band The Righteous Ramblers, on his latest album Got A Bad Habit which came out in July of this year.
