Mumford & Sons have collaborated with Pharrell on a new single, “Good People,” which marks the British rock band’s first new music since 2019. The group debuted the uplifting song yesterday during Pharrell’s Louis Vuitton menswear autumn/winter runway show at Paris Fashion Week.
Mumford & Sons — Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett, and Ted Dwane — recorded the song with Pharrell in New York and Paris. They enlisted Native Vocalists, a six-piece vocal choir from the U.S. and Canada hailing from Native American Tribes within the Northern Great Plains, to feature on the track.

Mumford & Sons have combined forces with Pharrell Williams for “Good People,” the group’s first slice of new music since 2019. Stream it below.
Built from a stomping groove, a soulful choir, and escalating chords, “Good People” is a rousing return to Mumford & Sons’ fire-and-brimstone, old-school-folk approach — though for this one, they’ve kept the banjo back at home. “Welcome to the revelation,” goes the Pharrell-led choir throughout, with frontman Marcus Mumford narrating “Good people/ Been down/ For so long/ And now/ It’s like the sun is rising” in the chorus.
A collaboration that no one asked for and few saw coming, Mumford & Sons and Pharrell notably connected at the latter’s Something In the Water Festival last year, where they cemented plans to record something together. In addition to the song’s production, Pharrell Williams fronts the choir comprised of the Native Vocalists, a six-piece vocal group featuring members...

Dianna Agron is addressing fan speculation around her relationship with Taylor Swift for the first time. Back in 2012, the duo were pretty inseparable and were often spotted out together in public or dressing up on social media. Some fans have wondered for years if the pair were even involved romantically. But in a May 7 interview with Rolling Stone, Agron said it was "funny" that people thought they were together.
In the interview, Agron was asked about how she partially inspired Swift's song "22," off of 2012's "Red." Agron responded, "Me? Oh, if only! That's more because of a friendship than being the inspiration for the song. But I would not be the person to ask about that. I cannot claim that!"
In the liner notes for the song - which is all about friendship and good time together - Swift mentioned four names: "Ashley Dianna Claire Selena.

With Christmas just around the corner, it's safe to assume you're enveloped in holiday tunes — whether inescapably at the mall or blaring from your laptop by choice. Beyond the old standards, there's Michael Bublé's chart-topping Christmas album and even Justin Bieber's first Christmas contribution, Under the Mistletoe, but you might not be aware that Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland released his own holiday disc this year.
That's right, and while Weiland's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year dropped back in October, even some of his contemporaries were unaware of his Xmas effort. That gave us the perfect opportunity to share the album's first music video with the bands on the bill at Kroq's annual Almost Acoustic Christmas earlier this month.

Mumford & Sons recently told MTV News that they're "still recording" the follow-up to their breakthrough Sigh No More album, which, while certainly understandable (given their schedule), is also rather unbelievable — especially since they've been working on the new spate of songs almost as long as they've been on tour.
"Most of them, we're letting people hear as we've played live shows. We've kind of always just done that," frontman Marcus Mumford explained. "We've kind of written a song and felt like we get it up to a point where it's ready to play live, and then we go ... and road test it, see how it goes. For us, we find that's a really helpful way of writing, and performing the song ideas that we have live is a crucial part,...

Mumford & Sons have spent most of 2011 working on the follow-up to their breakout Sigh No More album (when they weren't touring the U.S. by rail, of course). Though they've been performing a handful of new songs live, last month they officially unveiled a somber new tune called "Ghosts" during a stop at a Philadelphia radio station.
But as the year draws to a close, there's still no official release date (or even a title) for the new album, which sort of makes sense, especially since they're still working on it, as the band told MTV News backstage at the Kroq Almost Acoustic Christmas in Los Angeles.

They have, at the moment, the only rock album that's actually a top-10 staple on the Billboard albums chart (their debut, Sigh No More, which sits at #2), and a pair of singles ("Little Lion Man" and "The Cave") that continue to gain traction on both rock and pop radio, but the guys in Mumford & Sons aren't letting all that success go to their heads.
"We're trying really hard to enjoy ourselves, and we're doing alright," frontman Marcus Mumford told MTV News. "We've met some really nice people, met some heroes ... We feel like very small fish in a very large ocean, but it's great.
"We're a very young band," he continued. "We only have one album: We've got a lot more work to do, a lot more shows to play,...
