Ive drops prerelease from Japan album
Ive has unveiled the focus single from its upcoming album in Japan with a music video, agency Starship Entertainment said Friday. The group of six uploaded the video for 'Be Alright,' which fronts its third EP of the same title. Opening with Rei asleep at her desk, the other members appear one by one to pick out clothes for, and support her at an interview before dancing together at her house, savoring freedom. The single encourages listeners to keep on going instead of being afraid of changes telling them they are not alone. The new Japan mini album will be released on July 30, almost a year after Ive's second EP 'Alive,' which debuted atop Oricon's Daily Album Ranking. In April, the group dropped another track from the third EP, 'Dare Me,' as the opening theme song for a Japanese TV show.

Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron steps down from band after 27 years
Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron has said he is leaving the band after '27 fantastic years'. The US rock band, known for songs including Spin The Black Circle and Alive, formed in Seattle, Washington, in 1990, with Cameron joining in 1998 following the break up of rock group Soundgarden. Vocalist Eddie Vedder, bassist Jeff Ament, and guitarists Mike McCready and Stone Gossard, said the drummer would be 'deeply missed' in a message to Pearl Jam's social media pages. 'After 27 fantastic years, I have taken my final steps down the drum riser for the mighty Pearl Jam,' Cameron said in a social media post on Monday. 'Much love and respect to Jeff, Ed, Mike and Stone for inviting me into the band in 1998 and for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime, one filled with friendships, artistry, challenges and laughter. 'I am forever grateful to the crew, staff and fans the world over. It's been an incredible journey. More to follow. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.' The band said: 'From being one of our first musical heroes in the bands Skin Yard and the mighty Soundgarden, to playing on our first demos in 1990, Matt Cameron has been a singular and true powerhouse of a musician and drummer. 'He has propelled the last 27 years of Pearl Jam live shows and studio recordings. 'It was a deeply important chapter for our group and we wish him well always. He will be deeply missed and is forever our friend in art and music. We love you Matt.' The band, who blend classic rock with grunge and 1980s punk, were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2017. Last year, they released their 12th studio album, Dark Matter.
