New Radicals Return After 28 Years With First New Song; Tom Waits Drops Spoken-Word Track "The Fly"

New Radicals, the one-album act best known for the 1998 hit "You Get What You Give," released their first new song in 28 years on Monday, August 3, 2026, according to Pitchfork. The band split shortly after that debut album, so the reunion track has drawn wide attention from longtime fans. The same day, Tom Waits released a new spoken-word single titled "The Fly," now available on major streaming platforms.
