Drake's Iceman is right around the corner, which means speculation about the highly anticipated album has reached a fever pitch. Charlamagne tha God added to that frenzy on The Breakfast Club on Monday, when he claimed Karol G makes an appearance on the album. This would mark her first-ever collaboration with the rapper. Neither Drake nor Karol has not confirmed the rumors. Representatives for both Karol G and Drake did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone's request for comment. But given Drake's history of collaborating with Latin music artists, a Karol G feature is not out of the realm of…

Released on Warp, “Sol.Hz” is Seefeel's first album after fifteen years of silence on the format long playing. The title literally translates as sun plus electricitybut leaves a smoky ambiguity that is the basis of the return: a surrealist becoming of dilated chords and elusive harmonies that have their roots in shoegaze. The album is arranged as full pressure ambient, and on an appropriate system underground bass emerges which creates an altered and suffocating atmosphere. The protagonist, however, is the percussive dub soul, which marks all the low and medium frequencies with a surgical cut; a presence that, track after…

If it wasn't already obvious that North West, heir to the West-Kardashian throne, has also inherited massive star charisma, take ten minutes to listen to his debut EP. In six tracks, North West traverses the sonic styles of his generation — from nu-metal riffs to rage rap 808s — with a confidence that is, we might say, quite surprising. At just 12 years old, his debut is notable regardless of his famous pedigree. Because even if you come from a family like this, talent must be recognized. And that's exactly what happens with N0rth4evr.The EP opens with H0w Sh0uld !…

If you've ever swallowed an aspirin, put milk in your coffee, fed your pet, or filled a prescription, then you've relied on the lifesaving oversight of the US Food and Drug Administration. Long viewed as the world's gold standard in regulating food and medicine, the FDA is a behemoth that oversees products comprising roughly one quarter of the US economy. Even on the best of days, the FDA commissioner — a Senate-confirmed position — must wander a pitiless wilderness of excruciating judgment calls, whether the record-speed approval of Covid-19 vaccines or the minefield of mail-order birth control pills, all while…

While Shiva is still up on the fifth floor having the last photos taken in his grandmother's apartment, we find ourselves downstairs waiting. The photo shoot is taking longer than expected, also due to the little room to maneuver for an entire crew of photographers, stylist, sound engineer, artist plus members of the management, inside a tiny three-room apartment in the popular neighborhood of Corsico, a few kilometers south-west of Milan. The result is that we are behind schedule. So, down in the street, those who aren't strictly necessary upstairs gather, or those like me who have already done part…

Rod Stewart and Ron Wood made international political news on May 11 when they were caught on an open mic bashing Donald Trump to King Charles following his visit to America. “Hello, Sir, may I say, well done with the Americans,” Stewart told King Charles in a receiving line at the Royal Albert Hall. “You were superb, absolutely superb. You put that little ratbag in his place.” But the former Faces bandmates also made music news that day when they reunited onstage as part of the King's Trust Celebration concert at the Royal Albert Hall to perform “Ooh La Laa”…
