The album includes collabs with some interesting names, such as Noah Cyrus, Jonas Brothers, Zac Brown & Danielle Bradbery, Cyrus, Peck and more. The album is called, DIPLO PRESENTS THOMAS WESLEY CHAPTER 1: SNAKE OIL.

Additionally, Diplo debuts a Snake Oil-themed digital board game today—play it here. Fans can roll the die and play as Diplo as he journeys west and encounters the various artists featured on the album.

MUSIC VIDEO: Harry Styles is sweet as heck with Watermelon Sugar

Harry Styles is one cool dude. Smooth, stylish, and definitely a man with own sense of self. That’s what makes his new hit “Watermelon Sugar” so darn sweet. The song is catchy and light, while at the same time being extremely provocative and seductive.

It leaves you thinking, “Is watermelon sugar really what I think it is?”

3 MOVING MUSIC VIDEOS: “Denied”, “Stand Up!”, and “Nina Cried Power”

Today we recommend three great music videos for these times.

MUSIC VIDEO: Doja Cat – Say So

Doja Cat is currently both super hot and somewhat controversial. Some of her past online posts and lyrics have upset fans, but apparently not enough to keep her music video, “Say So”, from logging over 125,000,000 views on YouTube.

Of course we can see the appeal. The video is a hip and mod 70’s influenced dance beat set in a Hollywood Hills style bachelorette pad.

Groovy baby!

Apple releases the greatly anticipated new iPhone SE

After years of rampant rumors and pleas from fans, Apple finally releases the greatly anticipated second generation of the iPhone SE, with a starting price of $399.

In addition to a lower, more affordable price range, the main reason that the original iPhone SE was so popular was that it allowed users to hold and use it in one hand, as well as place it comfortably in a front pants pocket. It also retained the front Home button that many found useful, versus the swipe that many of Apple’s later iPhones require.

After Apple began to empty it’s inventory of the original iPhone SE with sales and sold out promotions, there was general hope that this product would launch in April 2019, then Fall of 2019. This did not happen, and many holders of the original refused to upgrade to the larger, more expensive iPhones in Apples lineup.

There were long-running rumors that the new iPhone SE would sport the name, iPhone 9, or Iphone SE 2, but in the end, Apple stuck with the brand name of this unique mobile.

The iPhone SE now uses the of the general body shape of the iPhone 8, along with a 4.7 inch display. It also has an Apple A13 Bionic chip, similar to the iPhone 11 and Iphone 11 Pro. The camera has also been upgraded to a 12MP sensor with 4K video capability. PLUS, you can finally use an SE for Portrait Mode.

According to Apple, “The first iPhone SE was a hit with many customers who loved its unique combination of small size, high-end performance and affordable price; the new second-generation iPhone SE builds on that great idea and improves on it in every way — including our best-ever single-camera system for great photos and videos — while still being very affordable,” said Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “iPhone SE features the industry-leading performance of A13 Bionic that enables great battery life, takes stunning Portrait mode and Smart HDR photos, shoots amazing videos with stereo audio, is great for games and super fast web surfing, and is built with the same industry-leading security features our customers expect. We can’t wait to get iPhone SE into customers’ hands.”

Other new features:

Augmented reality

Run the latest AR apps that let you measure real‑world objects, map constellations over the stars, and more.

Faster Wi‑Fi and cellular data

Wi‑Fi 6 and Gigabit‑class LTE can deliver much faster download speeds, whether you’re on Wi‑Fi or cellular networks.

Dual SIM, dual numbers

Dual SIM with eSIM lets you have both a business number and a personal number on the same iPhone.7

Water Resistance

iPhone SE is water resistant to 1 meter for 30 minutes.2 It’s not afraid of a little coffee, tea, or soda either.

Phone SE is available in 64GB, 128GB and 256GB models in black, white and red starting at $399 (US). Customers can also get iPhone SE for $9.54 a month or $229 with trade-in from apple.com, in the Apple Store app and Apple Stores.  iPhone SE is available through Apple Authorized Resellers and select carriers (prices may vary).
