<ul class="summary-list"><li>Courtney Love said Taylor Swift is "not important" in a new interview with The Standard.</li><li>"She's probably the Madonna of now, but she's not interesting as an artist," Love said.</li></ul>Taylor Swift's <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/taylor-swift-praised-by-icons-2023-8">legion of fans includes rockstars</a> like Stevie Nicks, Paul McCartney, and Dolly Parton — but certainly not Courtney Love.The former Hole frontwoman <a target="_blank" href="https://www.standard.co.uk/culture/courtney-love-bbc-6-music-interview-taylor-swift-b1151094.html">didn't hold back while criticizing Swift's musicianship </a>in a recent interview with The Standard."Taylor is not important. She might be a safe space for girls, and she's probably the Madonna of now, but she's not interesting as an artist," she said."It's great that there are so many successful women in the music industry, but lots of them are becoming a cliché," she added. "Now, every successful woman is cloned, so there is just too much music. They're all the same."Love didn't stop with her assessment of Swift. She advised Lana Del Rey to "take seven years off" and said simply of Madonna, "I don't like her and she doesn't like me."Love also said she's not a fan of Beyoncé, despite praising the ambition of her new album, "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/beyonce-renaissance-act-2-new-album-release-date-tracklist">Cowboy Carter</a>.""I like the idea of Beyoncé doing a country record because it's about <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/beyonce-cowboy-carter-country-radio-station-response-nashville-2024-3">Black women going into spaces</a> where previously only white women have been allowed, not that I like it much," she said. "As a concept, I love it. I just don't like her music."This isn't the first time Love has publicly condemned a modern superstar. In 2021, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/courtney-love-olivia-rodrigo-hole-live-through-this-album-cover-2021-6">she accused Olivia Rodrigo of copying her aesthetic</a> — specifically the cover art for "Live Through This," Hole's seminal 1994 album. She even called the young singer "rude" on social media. (Rodrigo responded that <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/olivia-rodrigo-responds-to-courtney-loves-plagiarism-accusation-2021-8">she was "flattered" by Love's attention</a>.)Nor is this Swift's first rodeo drawing criticism from a Gen X musician. In 2022, Blur and Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn erroneously claimed she "doesn't write her own songs," <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/taylor-swift-damon-albarn-doesnt-write-songs-response-2022-1">which Swift described as "completely false and so damaging."</a> (Albarn quickly apologized.)In fact, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/taylor-swift-solo-written-songs-2023-7">Swift has written over 60 songs by herself</a>, including the entirety of her 2010 album "Speak Now."

(Post Malone also has a feature and writing credit on track one.) Two of the songs were reportedly self-written by Swift: "My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys" and "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?"

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Dua Lipa announced her third album, "Radical Optimism," will be released May 3.</li><li>The album will have 11 tracks, including the singles "Houdini" and "Training Season."</li></ul>Dua Lipa is gearing up to release a new album, the hotly anticipated follow-up to her <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/dua-lipa-future-nostalgia-review-first-listen-2020-3">pandemic-era pop classic "Future Nostalgia."</a>Lipa announced on Wednesday that her third album, "Radical Optimism," will arrive on May 3. She also unveiled the cover art, photographed by Tyrone Lebon, and the full 11-song tracklist."A couple of years ago, a friend introduced me to the term 'Radical Optimism,'" Lipa said in a press release. "It struck me — the idea of going through chaos gracefully and feeling like you can weather any storm." The tracklist includes the album's lead single, "Houdini," released back in November.The synth-laden bop, coproduced by Kevin Parker and Danny L Harle, is buoyed by Lipa's signature confidence: "Prove you got the right to please me / Everybody knows / Catch me or I go, Houdini."The album will also feature "Training Season," released as the second single in February. (Lipa <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/grammys-best-worst-performances-2024-2">performed a medley of both songs</a> at the 2024 Grammys.)"Training Season" was inspired by an epiphany in Lipa's dating journey — a resolve to raise the bar for potential partners."I had been on a string of bad dates, and the last one was the final straw," she said in a press release. When she went to the studio the next morning and her friends asked how it went, Lipa said she'd had enough."I immediately declared 'TRAINING SEASON IS OVER,' and like the best 'day after' debriefs with your mates, we had a lot of laughs and it all quickly came together from there," she said.<h2>Most of the album was made with a small group of collaborators</h2>In contrast to "Future Nostalgia," which was created with a wide variety of songwriters and producers, Lipa's next project was kept mostly contained.In addition to her trusted cowriter Caroline Ailin ("Don't Start Now," "New Rules"), Lipa teamed up with Parker, Harle, and Tobias Jesso Jr. to craft eight of the album's 11 tracks. During <a target="_blank" href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/dua-lipa-third-album-influences-dating-life-acting-1234945422/">an interview with Rolling Stone</a>, Lipa referred to these four collaborators as her "band.""I remember thinking it was a genius move to get that combination of people together," Parker told the magazine. "Like, hats off to her." Parker is better known by the name of his solo project, Tame Impala. The musical polymath and critical darling has also worked with Lady Gaga ("Perfect Illusion"), Travis Scott ("Skeletons"), and The Weeknd ("Repeat After Me").Harle is a respected indie-pop producer, best known for working with Caroline Polachek and Charli XCX, while Jesso Jr. is a folksy musician who's written songs with Adele ("When We Were Young," "To Be Loved"), Niall Horan ("Slow Hands"), and Florence Welch ("Hunger," "The End of Love").Jesso Jr. called his experience working on Lipa's album "the pinnacle of my writing career."<h2>Lipa was inspired by Brit-pop bands and UK rave culture</h2>Lipa cited British rock bands like Blur, Gorillaz, Massive Attack, Oasis, and Primal Scream — predominantly popular in the '80s and '90s — as the biggest touchstones for her new music.Again, this contrasts "Future Nostalgia," which was heavily influenced by campy pop and disco."This record feels a bit more raw," she told Rolling Stone. "I want to capture the essence of youth and freedom and having fun and just letting things happen, whether it's good or bad. You can't change it. You just have to roll with the punches of whatever's happening in your life."Lipa also described the new album as "a psychedelic-pop-infused tribute to UK rave culture," according to Rolling Stone's Brittany Spanos.She was particularly inspired by "I'm Free" by Liam Gallagher, formerly of Oasis fame. Her new collaborator Harle was credited as a "rave consultant" on the 2022 song, which incorporates a breakbeat drum pattern popular in electronic and garage genres."Dua really enjoyed that," Harle told Rolling Stone. "Dua likes going to a rave."Asked if she's interacted with Brit-pop stars like <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/taylor-swift-damon-albarn-doesnt-write-songs-response-2022-1">Damon Albarn</a> or <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/noel-gallagher-harry-styles-not-real-musician-comment-2022-4">Noel Gallagher</a>, who've both criticized modern pop stars like Taylor Swift and Harry Styles, Lipa said she hasn't met them — and isn't bothered by their comments."It's more like the music element, the aspect of it that I'm really connected to," she explained. "They're obnoxious for sure. That's their whole thing."<h2>The album will include breakup stories and single-girl adventures</h2>According to Spanos, Lipa's new album "captures a period of major changes in her life, including the end of a relationship and her forays into dating."After releasing "Future Nostalgia" in 2020, Lipa broke up with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/anwar-hadid-instagram-troubling-dua-lipa-boyfriend-romain-gavras-2023-5">her longtime boyfriend, Anwar Hadid</a>. Later, she split from director <a target="_blank" rel="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/who-is-romain-gavras-dua-lipas-french-director-boyfriend-2023-5">Romain Gavras</a> after about eight months of dating.During a phone call with Rolling Stone in December, Lipa confirmed she was single — though more recently, she's been <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/dua-lipa-callum-turner-relationship-timeline-2024-1">spotted out and about with actor Callum Turner</a>.Ailin told Spanos that Lipa would come to the studio equipped with real-life stories about her dating escapades, ready to transform her anecdotes into art."Dating, I think overall, is just a little confusing," Lipa said. "It's either through friends of friends or people you trust where you can meet new people, because [dating] is not really so straightforward when you are, I guess, a public person."This is a developing story.

GLASTONBURY 2016: Big, beautiful photos from the greatest (and muddiest) party on Earth

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>Vic Mensa is part of&#xa0;a new generation of young rappers taking over the hip-hop world.The 23-year-old rapper has already worked with several music industry legends,&#xa0;from Damon Albarn to Jay Z. He's written songs for Kanye West, performed with J. Cole, and won praise for his searing, personal lyrics.Like <a href="http://www.thisisinsider.com/chance-the-rapper-refuses-to-sign-a-record-deal-2016-6">Chance the Rapper</a>, Mensa is a new leader in&#xa0;the genre. With his new extended play "There's Alot Going On," he's on the cusp of stardom.&#xa0;<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div><a href="https://soundcloud.com/vicsavemoney/sets/innanetape">Mensa's&#xa0;mixtape "Innanetape"</a>&#xa0;made waves in 2013.After spending some time in the Chicago hip-hop&#xa0;scene, Mensa released his second mixtape&#xa0;on September 30, 2013,&#xa0;at age 20.It featured a bunch of fellow Chicago rappers and quickly won acclaim in hip-hop publications. <a href="http://www.xxlmag.com/rap-music/reviews/2013/10/vic-mensa-innanetape-mixtape-review/?trackback=tsmclip">XXL wrote</a>,&#xa0;"Vic shows a keen ability to bend words at will, cramming syllables into lines with obvious glee." Songs like <a href="https://soundcloud.com/vicsavemoney/orange-soda-1?in=vicsavemoney/sets/innanetape">"Orange Soda"</a> and <a href="https://soundcloud.com/vicsavemoney/tweakin-ft-chance-the-rapper?in=vicsavemoney/sets/innanetape">"Tweakin',"</a> which featured fellow Chicago rap prodigy Chance the Rapper, revealed a talent for playful and witty lyrics.His&#xa0;got widespread&#xa0;attention when he performed at Governors Ball.A year later, Mensa <a href="http://consequenceofsound.net/2014/06/watch-damon-albarn-performs-with-de-la-soul-vic-mensa-at-governors-ball/">performed onstage</a> with Damon Albarn, the legendary British musician known for running <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8Qp38qT-xI">Gorillaz</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSbBvKaM6sk">Blur</a>. He filled a part for one of Gorillaz's best-known songs, "Clint Eastwood."Mensa said he wanted to work more with Albarn in the future, and it looks like his wish might come true. He's been <a href="http://consequenceofsound.net/2016/05/gorillaz-hit-the-studio-with-chicago-rapper-vic-mensa/">spotted in the recording studio</a> working on Albarn's upcoming album.<div> </div>The rapper released his first official single in May 2014, and it made the charts in the United Kingdom."<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jUGAVUwhRU">Down on My Luck</a>" is&#xa0;highly danceable track that showed the artist's versatility. He included&#xa0;it in&#xa0;his first EP, "Street Lights," later that year.<a href="http://www.thisisinsider.com/chance-the-rapper-refuses-to-sign-a-record-deal-2016-6">As with Chance the Rapper</a>, a collaboration&#xa0;with Kanye West put Mensa&#xa0;on the&#xa0;next level.&#xa0;West and Mensa first joined forces&#xa0;on Kanye's song "All Day," which got Mensa a Grammy nomination as a co-writer. Later, they worked together on a version&#xa0;of "Wolves," a song on Kanye's album "Life of Pablo." The two <a href="https://vimeo.com/119776036">performed the song</a> with Sia on a special 40th anniversary episode of "Saturday Night Live." Mensa employed his vocal skills to a sweeter, more melancholic&#xa0;effect than he had in his previous work.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>But when "The Life of Pablo" was released a year&#xa0;later, Sia's and&#xa0;Mensa's verses were nowhere to be heard. West removed them and added a few&#xa0;Frank Ocean verses to the song.Another version of the song, with Mensa, Sia, and Ocean all included, leaked online. Fans asked Kanye to make that version the official one, and Kanye tinkered with the song even more. Eventually, he released <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puP-lmvCcH0">the new&#xa0;version</a>, with Mensa's and Sia's contributions included and Ocean's outro as <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TInCzpp2zmo">a separate short song, titled "Frank's Track."</a><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>Mensa&#xa0;found his voice with "There's Alot Going On."Mensa released his latest EP on June 3, ahead of his forthcoming&#xa0;album, "Traffic." It's a sharp counterpoint to the various sounds he's experimented with throughout his career. And it makes a political statement.&#xa0;Lyrically, the songs <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vcv7orazEA&amp;index=6&amp;list=PLtu2iXpUBFtw9eOwTLWDLWsOc9WDyWWIK">tackles issues</a> like <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/ap-obama-visiting-flint-for-first-time-since-water-crisis-began-2016-5">the Flint Water Crisis</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNhXXRChxxs&amp;index=2&amp;list=PLtu2iXpUBFtw9eOwTLWDLWsOc9WDyWWIK">the Chicago government's cover-up of Laquan McDonald</a>.

Mensa directed the music video for "There's Alot Going On" himself, and says he was inspired by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRIbf6JqkNc">Gun N' Roses' music video for "Don't Cry."</a>In it, Mensa sings about his ambition and self-doubt, tracing his life and career through his strained relationship with a former girlfriend, his disputes with former collaborators, signing with Jay Z's record label, and working with Kanye West. It's his opus and the best example of Mensa's talent yet.<div></div> <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/freakishly-real-eye-tattoos-2016-5">A tattoo artist specializes in freakishly real eyeball tattoos, and people are lining up to get one</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="hzbnRsMzE6wRZGygMdgs7bD1IO7iljQA" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>
