Unit alt-rock legendaris Weezer meluncurkan single teranyar bertajuk “C.E.O.”, menyusul rilisan sebelumnya “We Might As Well Be Strangers” (bersama Karly Hartzman) dan “Shine Again”. Lagu ini bakal masuk ke dalam album studio ke-16 mereka yang bertajuk Weezer (The Gold Album). Mengangkat pesan refleksi tekanan hidup dan dinamika bisnis musik, video musiknya digarap ala konsep klasik era “Pork and Beans” dengan menggandeng jajaran figur ternama, mulai dari Tony Hawk, Curry Barker, Dax Flame, Chit (Jay Renshaw), Rob Riggle, Rob Huebel, Michael Peña, Giovanni Ribisi, hingga Christopher Mintz-Plasse.
Proses penggarapan album ini mengembalikan nostalgia back-to-basics, di mana Rivers Cuomo, Patrick Wilson, Brian Bell, dan Scott Shriner menulis serta merekam lagu secara live di ruang latihan mereka. Produser Kenneth Blume (Kenny Beats) membawa sentuhan keras nan agresif, sementara Klas Åhlund menerapkan pendekatan aransemen yang presisi.
Tak berhenti di situ, Weezer mengumumkan perluasan tur dunia mereka yang bertajuk “Weezer: The Gathering”. Selain 32 jadwal di Amerika Utara bersama The Shins dan Silversun Pickups pada musim gugur, mereka akan memboyong band Taking Back Sunday untuk mengguncang Jepang, Eropa, dan Inggris pada awal 2027 mendatang.
