Conner4Real, is all of these things, and more. In fact, the faux pop star of Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping is such a great representation of a modern musical megastar that if he weren’t played by Andy Samberg, you might not realize he’s fictional. Following the rise, fall, and rebound of a character that’s a little bit Bieber, a little bit Timberlake, a little bit Macklemore, and a…

Laura Marling is back with her first album since 2024’s Patterns in Repeat, and, inevitably, it’s a 17-track collection of Raffi covers. “Laura Sings Raffi marks a logical next step for me,” the British singer-songwriter said in a press release, “but it’s not only a desire for tolerable children’s music that landed me here.” While living in North America, she explains, she “developed a love for his sincere, dead pan renditions of both his original songs for the very young and those plucked from the canon,” even before having children of her own. Listen to the LP, which Marling self-produced at home…
