The Best Vinyl Releases Of August 2025
Anybody who thought the vinyl resurgence was just a fad was mistaken: The industry has experienced a legitimate revival. As a result, music fans are interested in physical media in ways they may not have if the decades-old medium hasn’t made a comeback. That doesn’t mean everybody is listening to just their parents’ old music, […]
Flo Milli’s ‘Perfect Person’ With Coop Samples Hoobastank
Flo Milli is back with another new single. After returning from post-natal hiatus earlier this year with “Gripper” featuring T-Pain, she reunites with Coop and samples a 2000s classic with “Perfect Person.” Fans of Flo’s prior work might be surprised to hear her interpolating Hoobastank’s 2004 hit “The Reason,” but as a nostalgic fan of […]

Rich Brian’s ‘She’ Video Is A Nostalgic Homecoming Road Trip
Rich Brian heads home to Indonesia and takes a scenic road trip courtesy of a friendly truck driver in the video for his latest single, “She.” The truck’s cab is adorned with stickers bearing nostalgic Indonesian sayings. One of my favorites is “tak perlu tenar yang penting rezeki lancar,” which means, roughly, “No need for […]
Ashnikko Shares ‘Sticky Fingers’ From ‘Smoochies’
A couple weeks ago, Ashnikko announced Smoochies, to follow her 2023 debut Weedkiller. She also shared the single “Trinkets” at the time and now she’s back today (August 29) with more new music, the 2000s-inspired (think Pussycat Dolls) “Sticky Fingers.” In a statement, Ashnikko says of the song: “we have a very finite time on […]
Sabrina Carpenter Plays The Banjo On ‘Man’s Best Friend’
You don’t usually see Sabrina Carpenter with an instrument in her hand, as on stage, she’s usually focused on singing and choreography. She can play, though. In fact, on her new album Man’s Best Friend, she tried her hand at perhaps an unexpected instrument: the banjo. In a recent interview with SiriusXM’s Hits 1, she […]

The Kid Laroi Shares Flirty ‘She Don’t Need To Know’ Video
Who knew The Kid Laroi was such a big Challengers fan? Okay, that might be a reach on my part, but it’s hard to watch the Australian star’s new video for “She Don’t Need To Know” without thinking of Luca Guadagnino’s 2024 film. As both the video and the movie depict love triangles revolving around […]
Sabrina Carpenter Shares A ‘Tears’ Video With Colman Domingo
It’s been almost exactly a year since Sabrina Carpenter released her album Short N’ Sweet on August 23, 2024.

Bad Bunny’s Filmography: ‘Bullet Train’ & More
Long before landing his first feature film credit, Bad Bunny was already performing. Not just onstage, where his undeniable charisma often feels larger than the stadiums he routinely sells out, but in music videos that played like short-form films and fashion editorials that doubled as character studies; in the melodrama of a WWE wrestling ring […]
