Eminem Performs 'Walk On Water' At MTV European Music Awards

(Radio.com) Eminem opened the MTV European Music Awards earlier this week with a breathtaking performance of "Walk On Water" from Wembley Arena in London.

Beyonce, who appears on the studio version of the track (produced by Rick Rubin) couldn't make it, so Eminem was joined by the song's co-writer Skylar Grey. The rapper took the stage wearing a black hoodie and paced around in front of a backdrop of snow-covered mountains.

Accompanied by piano (played by Grey) and soaring strings, Eminem spewed lines about the challenges of returning to the scene and striving to meet the expectations of his fans.

"It's the curse of the standard/ That the first of the Mathers discs set/ Always in search of the verse that I haven't spit yet/ Will this step just be another misstep," he rapped.

"Walk On Water" is the first single from Eminem's upcoming album, which is reportedly called Revival. Read more and see a clip of the performance here.

Singled Out: Swindy's Reflection

Arizona Pop rockers Swindy just released a brand new video for their single "Reflection" from their self-titled debut EP and to celebrate we asked Randall Swindell to tell us about the song. Here is the story:

"Reflection" is a song that I wrote while processing my emotions during the break up of a previous relationship and throughout the aftermath. The lyrics describe the struggle I experienced while knowing I needed to leave this relationship, and understanding that in order to save my life, and not give up on my self, I had to separate and move on from this person. (paused) Yet for a period of time, I kept wanting to go back. I kept struggling with an idea I had in my head about the perfect relationship when the reality was actually a horror story. I am a loyal partner and friend. And it's not easy for me to sever relationships. This song is reflecting back on what once was and seeing it for what it became. Writing and recording this song helped me to process my emotions and become independent again.

I sat on this song for about two years, and it wasn't until a friend of mine (Jonathan Russell), who is a fellow musician and singer in a number of bands that I know. Introduced me to Producer Matt Good. That I pulled this song out of my musical diary and shared it with Jonathan. We were searching for tracks to present to Matt Good and I showed him about a half a dozen songs, and we listened to them, and we liked one or two of them, and we were thinking of having Jonathan guest appear in a song with me, the first song that we would record with Matt Good.

"Reflection" was kind of one of those oh� I also have this one track, but� It's probably something you're not interested in� and I played it for him. The original recording that I made on my laptop is quite a bit different from the version we cranked out at Matt Goods studio, but John recognized the potential right away. Immediately he vibed with it, and he said� "This is the one" this is the track we are going to do with Matt Good, I was very surprised that John wanted this sappy sad song I had written. It was kind of mellow, slow, reflective, and sad. But John screamed the background lyrics I had written, and brought a certain kind of life to it I had not thought of.

I then recruited a couple of my band members from Ensphere to track bass and guitar while we were recording with Matt Good. Matt analyzed some of the guitar lines, helped us hone in exactly the right chords for the chorus, and steered me in the right direction with vocal harmonies. We certainly felt that we were able to capture John beautifully for the guest appearance.

The song was recorded and mastered all in one session with John Russell, Michael Ludovici, Randall Swindell, and Serena Rose. Thanks to Matt Good, Ryan Daminson, Zach Yoshioka and Good Sound Studios.

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and watch the video right here!

Country Rising Benefit Brings Healing To Nashville

Aldean was onstage when shots rang out at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas on October 1. "I know I don't have to tell you guys this, but it's been a rough couple of months for us up here and it's a lot of fun to get back out and play for the people that matter, which is you guys," he said during his four-song set, which featured "Dirt Road Anthem," "Any Ol' Barstool," "My Kinda Party" and "She's Country."

"I spent a lot of time and a long time trying to make it in this business and doing something that I really enjoy. I'll be damned if anybody is ever going to stop me from doing that," Aldean said from the stage.

It was a sentiment shared throughout the night from each act, including George Strait. "A lot of people are out there hurting and this will help them a lot," he said. Strait went on to perform his hits "The Fireman," "Amarillo by Morning" and "Troubadour." Read more here.

Kane Brown Hopes To Change Country Music Stereotypes

(Radio.com) Kane Brown knows that he's not everyone's idea of a traditional country singer, and he would like to change that and the stereotypes that go along with the genre.

"Being biracial and being in country music is actually kinda hard," he admits in a new interview with Nightline. "I get talked down on so much in country music because of my look and I just really want to change that."

"I don't feel like you should have to look a certain way to sing a certain genre," he continued. "Everybody looks at me and thinks I'm a rapper, [that] I can't be a country artist, and it just drives me crazy."

"I just want to change stereotypes. You can't be scared to be different. I honestly love the old school sound, because I feel like I'm an old soul when it comes to that stuff, but I'm mixed in with new school." Read more here.
