Kane Brown, Swae Lee, And Khalid Bring Their Cool Collaboration ‘Be Like That’ To Late Night
The three singers perform at a retro diner. …
Country star Kane Brown brought his ever-popular hit “Be Like That” to The Late Show With Stephen Colbert last night with a pre-recorded performance in front of a retro burger stand. It’s a straightforward, stand-up production, as Brown is flanked on either side by his collaborators Swae Lee and Khalid, with all three singers dressed down in smoothly coordinated outfits.
The trio previously performed the song at the 2020 Billboard Music Awards, performing to an empty theater with a full band. Thanks to the pandemic, they’ve yet to bring the song to a live audience but with Brown’s upcoming album Mixtape, Vol. 1 on the way, they may yet get a chance to perform it on tour sometime next year. They did get a chance to play at a drive-in concert in September, held at more than 200 theaters across the US.
Swae Lee, meanwhile, recently teamed up with Lil Mosey and Tyga for “Krabby Step” from the upcoming Spongebob movie soundtrack, while his Enter The Spider-Verse hit with Post Malone, “Sunflower,” recently received its third diamond certification. Khalid is working on his own album, which he told fans in September should be out early next year.

Marsha Bartenetti reinvents in her own style “New York Minute”
Marsha Bartenetti’s latest release, “New York Minute,” written by Don Henley, Danny Kortchmar, and Jai Winding, offers emotional depth, turning a timeless look at life’s fragility into a reflective, cinematic journey. Stephan Oberhoff’s arrangement perfectly frames Bartenetti’s voice, and Kevin Bate’s expressive cello adds a warm resonance that makes the track feel like a movie.
The way each instrument sounds makes it feel planned, which lets the listener stay in the fleeting moments the song so beautifully describes. Bartenetti’s singing is the best part of the song. She shows an openness that feels real, as if she has lost something and still fully embraces love and presence with complete honesty. Her choice of words and small changes in tone make the lyrics feel even closer.
“New York Minute,” is a new version that pays tribute to the original while showcasing Bartenetti’s own style. The movie-like instruments and heartfelt vocals make the song feel both personal and universal. It makes us think about how hard it is to let go and hold on.

The Saints of Swag tackles injustice and corruption on “Power Trip”
The Saints of Swag are back with a new single, “Power Trip,” that is both powerful and thought-provoking. The track has a strong social message and fast music. The track discusses how basic democratic values are being eroded, such as habeas corpus and due process, and how federal agents have violated people’s rights.
It reminds us that music can be both art and activism, and prompts us to think about the world around us. The Saints of Swag use their music to address important social issues, such as lies, false stories, and government cover-ups. The lyrics are sharp, direct, and unapologetic, and the production makes the message even stronger.
The song “Power Trip” by The Saints of Swag demonstrates that protest music remains important today. The song is a call to action, a sound critique of unfairness, and a way for people to think about the systems that run society. All of this is done while showing off the duo’s strong artistic vision.
