Benson Boone Flips At Governors Ball 2025
Benson Boone, in case you missed it, likes to do flips. Here he is doing one on The Tonight Show a few days ago. That appearance was part of the reason he was in New York City last week, and the other was to perform at the Governors Ball festival, where, yes, he did some […]
Olivia Rodrigo Brings Out David Byrne At Governors Ball 2025
When it comes to contemporary pop stars, Olivia Rodrigo is as rock-adjacent as they come. Her hits have more electric guitar than synths and she’s clearly an appreciator of rock history, too, which she displayed at the Governors Ball festival this past weekend. Towards the end of her main set, she delivered a cover of […]
Tinashe & Disco Lines Demand ‘No Broke Boys’ With New Single
Even early in her career, Tinashe made a lot of hay with her tendency to cross genre boundaries, blending R&B with dance and pop sounds to great effect on tracks like “2 On” and “Superlove.” Now that she’s in a career renaissance spurred by the TikTok-fueled breakout of “Nasty” and Black folks are “allowed” to […]
The Kid Laroi Admits ‘All I Want Is You’ In His New Single
The Kid Laroi’s last two singles, “Aperol Spritz” and “Slow It Down,” were forward and frisky advances from a Don Juan-styled playboy on the prowl for female companionship. But on his latest single, “All I Want Is You,” he takes a different, more earnest tack (perhaps inspired by his relationship with girlfriend Tate McRae?), injecting […]

GloRilla’s ‘Typa’ Video Samples Keyshia Cole, Man Checklist
In her new single, “Typa,” GloRilla details her checklist for a man over a watery sample of Keyshia Cole’s 2005 hit “Love.” Naturally, then, Cole simply had to make an appearance in GloRilla’s new Benny Boom-directed video for the single, as the two share their thoughts on love over mimosas overlooking a gorgeous view of […]
The Weeknd’s ‘Baptized In Fear’ Video Searches For Salvation
The Weeknd is a paranoid parishioner in his new video for “Baptized In Fear.” The haunting video is shot in and around an old church, fitting the theme of baptism, with eerie statues transforming in ghostly ways. “Baptized In Fear” is the latest video from Abel’s new album, Hurry Up Tomorrow, following clips for “Open […]
The Favors Announce An Album & Share ‘Little Mess You Made’
Finneas and Ashe have some history. He co-wrote her 2019 single “Moral Of The Story” (which is nearing a billion streams on Spotify right now), then in 2021, they collaborated again on the duet “Till Forever Falls Apart.” The two are apparently super happy with how well their collaborations have gone, so much so that […]

Ciara Taps Normani & Teyana Taylor For ‘Ecstacy’ Remix
There’s this concept in basketball of “The Big Three,” which has since been imported to music, to somewhat controversial effect. And while there are some who question the viability of the concept (LeBron and Dwyane were basically Jordan and Pippen, and Bosh was basically just an extra?), there’s no doubt that there are certain times […]
