Michael Bay “Songbird” Movie About COVID-19 Pandemic Releases Trailer
It was only a matter of time before somebody made a movie about COVID-19. Granted, many assumed Hollywood would only make such a movie its next conquest after the pandemic was over, but it looks as though Armageddon producer, Michael Bay, and Invisible Narratives, have already stepped to the plate, with their upcoming film, Songbird, having been cast, directed, and filmed, all under quarantine. Not a small feat, considering how many movies have been delayed due to the pandemic.
The movie is set in the near future, in which the world is on its 213th week of lockdown, and COVID-19 has mutated into COVID-23, now attacking brain tissue. In the film’s grim reality, world citizens are forbidden from leaving their homes, infected Americans are forced into “quarantine camps,” and the penalty for attempting to escape from the COVID cops? Getting shot on sight.
The film stars Riverdale’s KJ Apa as the main character, Nico— one of the few people in the world immune to the virus— as he attempts to rescue his love interest, Sarah, who is at risk of being taken away by body snatchers because her neighbor (who seems to pose some relation to her) has come down with the virus. Like the rest of the world, Sarah is confined to her apartment and has been separated from Nico by a wall (her front door) for the entirety of quarantine, with phone and FaceTime calls being their only way of interacting.
The film’s creators have not yet nailed down a release date, but the star-studded dystopian motion picture will feature Demi Moore, Sofia Carson, Alexandra Daddario, Craig Robinson, Bradley Whitford, Jenna Ortega, and Paul Walter Hauser.
Watch the trailer, released on Thursday, below, and let us know what you think in the comments— is it too soon, or are you looking forward to tuning in?
In other pandemic-related news, podcast host Joe Budden confirmed he tested positive for the virus on Thursday night.

Wyn Calico create the need to support with his latest release “Support”
Wyn Calico steps into deeply personal territory with his latest single, “Support,” a heartfelt offering that addresses a feeling many people know, but rarely express so openly. It’s a song about the universal desire to be encouraged, recognised, and uplifted, turning personal frustration into a relatable message of resilience.
“Support” is a meditation on what it feels like to work tirelessly for something you want, but not have the support you need to fully achieve it. Wyn Calico expresses the emotional burden of wanting to make a difference, believing in your purpose, and still moving forward when you hit setbacks. The song is not only about disappointment, but also a rallying cry of resilience in the face of adversity.
This song also highlights an important truth, there are many talented and hard-working people out there who have everything it takes to make a difference, except the encouragement and opportunity to flourish. Wyn Calico’s lyrics and delivery shine a light on that struggle and offer a sense of solidarity to those in similar situations.
“Support” isn’t just a personal statement. It’s a conversation starter. It encourages us to think about the value of community, support, and believing in each other. Wyn Calico’s latest drop is honest, relatable, and emotionally driven, a powerful reminder that even in the moments of isolation, the desire to keep pushing forward is still stronger than ever.

NNORDY steps into jazz fusion with latest release “Wrong Turn”
NNORDY’s latest release, “Wrong Turn” is a fully live jazz fusion album that showcases the limitless possibilities of instrumental storytelling with the remarkable chemistry between guitar, keyboards, bass, and drums. The song has no words but is an excellent story told through musicianship and sets the stage for listeners to embark on a rich jazz experience.
“Wrong Turn” shows the strength of live performance from the get-go. Each instrument feels alive and in conversation with the others, a dynamic dialogue that develops organically over the course of the piece. Without vocal guidance, each musical phrase is left to speak for itself, giving the listener the freedom to interpret the track in their own way.
The guitar and keyboards often lead, crafting complex melodic lines and textures that give the music direction and atmosphere. Meanwhile, the bass and drums lay down a solid rhythmic base, creating movement and momentum while still leaving a lot of room for exploration. NNORDY creates a track that both dedicated jazz fans and listeners looking for something adventurous and fresh will enjoy. “Wrong Turn” shows that instrumental music can be as expressive and compelling as vocal music.
