Lorde takes you to the river in latest cover off 'Stop Making Sense' tribute

A24 Music

Lorde has premiered her take on "Take Me to the River" for the upcoming tribute to Talking Heads' classic 1984 concert film and live album, Stop Making Sense.

"Take Me to the River" was originally recorded by soul legend Al Green in 1974 and then covered by Talking Heads in 1978. The Talking Heads version became the band's highest charting single at the time, and a live recording is included on Stop Making Sense.

In a statement, Lorde shares that she wanted her "Take Me to the River" cover to reflect when her mom first showed her a Talking Heads video on YouTube when she was 12 years old.

"It's my interpretation of that pixelated spiritual experience," Lorde says. "We did it fast, I didn't let myself tidy it up too much, it had to feel young and imperfect, the peeling posters, the jaw of acne."

You can listen to Lorde's "Take Me to the River" now via digital outlets.

The Stop Making Sense tribute also includes Paramore's cover of "Burning Down the House" as well as contributions from The National, Miley Cyrus, girl in red and The Linda Lindas.

Shonda Rhimes' daughter is in for the ride of a lifetime.

The famed TV producer shared in an Instagram post that one of her three daughters recently started watching Grey's Anatomy for the first time.

"My not so tiny human started watching @greysabc for the first time yesterday," she wrote. "My brain is breaking."

"I am dead. DEAD," Rhimes continued. "But so glad she's getting to see the women her mom created. #GreysAnatomy."

Grey's Anatomy, created by Rhimes, premiered on March 27, 2005, and is currently airing its milestone 20th season on ABC.

The series, the longest-running primetime medical drama, has given TV fans beloved female characters like Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh), Izzy Stevens (Katherine Heigl), and Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson) -- and those are just the series regulars from season 1.

Someone tell Rhimes' daughter to buckle up and prepare to have her heart broken -- and put back together -- over and over again: Remember that season 5 finale? Blue Post-It note, anyone?

Grey's Anatomy airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on ABC, with episodes streaming on Hulu the following day.

Kenan Thompson discusses 'Quiet on Set' and working with Dan Schneider

Disney Entertainment Television/Jeff Neira

Kenan Thompson, who starred in the Nickelodeon shows All That and Kenan and Kel as a teen, is speaking out about allegations made about his former producer Dan Schneider in the documentary series Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.

"I think it's a good thing that the doc is out and is putting things on display that need to be told for accountability sake, but it's definitely tough to watch because I have fond memories of that place," Thompson said of Nickelodeon during an appearance on Tamron Hall's chat show on Wednesday, March 27.

Addressing the accusations that Schneider created a toxic work environment, the Saturday Night Live star recalled that many of them happened after his tenure on the network.

"Dan wasn't really on Kenan and Kel like that," he explains. "He got a 'created by' credit, but it was a different showrunner, so our worlds weren't overly overlapping like that outside of All That necessarily."

“My heart goes out to anybody that's been victimized, or their families," he said.

After noting that the production company said it was investigating all the allegations, Thompson said, "Well, investigate more."

"It's supposed to be a safe place, you know?" he added. "It's supposed to be a safe place for kids and to hear all about that it's just like, 'How dare you,' you know?'"

Camila Cabello says her new album is exploring her "hyper-femme villain arc"

Dimitrious Giannoudis

Camila Cabello just dropped her new single, "I LUV IT," featuring Playboi Carti, but hasn't yet released any details about her upcoming album.  However, she tells Apple Music's Zane Lowe that it'll have one very important difference from all of her previous work.

"[There's] one thing I have done on this album that I don't feel like... I feel like I was getting to before, but for me, I've always been just like a song-based artist. I heard Charli [XCX] say the other day, it's like artistry is more important than songs. I was always the opposite mentality," she explains.

"I was always like, everything is about the song," she continues. "That was everything for me. It was just isolated from the name or who did it or whatever, it was just about how does this four-minute, whatever, three-minute piece of music sound."

But now, Camila says, she's thinking of her music as more of an entire artistic work. "I think it's because I started diving deeper into bodies of work and artists," she says. "I was like, 'I love the way Lana [Del Rey] or Carti ... they just, like, create a whole world, and it makes the music so much richer.'"

"So I think I'd attempted to do that before, but never got the full gist of it," says Camila. "And I learned so much from [my collaborators] and really studying this time around the character, the world, the motifs."

Echoing her previous statement to Paper magazine that she's playing a character on the album, Camila tells Zane that her new aesthetic -- blonde hair and what she calls "the baby pink color, the lip gloss" -- has helped her create the character.

"[It's] my villain arc," she says. "My hyper-femme villain arc, that was the beginning."
