A few months ago, on his March release ADL, California-born rapper-producer Yeat took a by now predictable leap toward more traditional pop sounds. While not as craven as a full-scale switch-up, it was clear the 26-year-old wanted a bigger audience and was willing to make himself a little more palatable to get there. His latest, the compact, seven-track EP Cocoon, appears on the surface to be a return to form, though its barely 17-minute run exposes how little he has left to do with the sounds he made his name on. Cocoon’s brightest spot, the Drake-assisted (or, rather, Drake-led) “MISS…
Warning: Spoilers ahead for all episodes of Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story. Part of what makes the story of Lizzie Borden so fascinating is just how little we know. After her father and stepmother were murdered by a hatchet-wielding killer in their Fall River, Massachusetts, home in 1892, suspicion eventually turned to Lizzie. But her account of her actions that day changed constantly — maybe a result of the morphine that was being fed to her by doctors, or maybe the result of her not being able to keep her story straight — and she was eventually acquitted of the crimes.…
The Beach Boys have been off the road for the past two months so frontman Mike Love can “recharge” following a series of unspecific health issues that forced them to postpone over 30 dates on their Pet Sounds 60th anniversary tour. They originally planned on returning to the stage September 24 at The Big E Arena in West Springfield, Massachusetts, before hitting Quakertown, Pennsylvania on September 25, and two shows in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, on September 27. Just one day before the tour was set to resume, though, they cancelled all four of these shows without explanation. The…
Hayden Panettiere was found with drug paraphernalia when she was found unresponsive last month at a residence in Greenville, South Carolina. As The New York Times reports, a newly released coroner’s report detailed what was found by her body and that she had recently completed time in rehab. On Tuesday, the coroner’s office said she died from the toxic effects of fentanyl and other drugs, and ruled her death was an accident. Along with fentanyl, the coroner found traces of Alprazolam (more commonly known as Xanax), the muscle relaxant Methocarbamol, and Quetiapine, which is mainly used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar…
The lawsuit claiming Sam Smith and Normani’s multi-platinum dance hit “Dancing With A Stranger” stole its hook from a 2015 song by the same name is heading to trial after a federal judge in Los Angeles rejected the musical duo’s latest bid to toss the case. In a 27-page ruling issued Wednesday and obtained by Rolling Stone, U.S. District Judge Wesley L. Hsu denied a motion by Smith and Normani that sought to end the case in their favor based on the evidence developed since the case was first filed in March 2022. “Plaintiffs have sufficiently introduced an issue of…
serpentwithfeet is releasing a new EP, Sentinel, on December 4. The record marks the New York-based singer-songwriter’s first as a One Little Independent Records signee, after nearly a decade on Secretly Canadian. The title track, a reverent love song inspired by sea shanties and serpentwithfeet’s gospel roots, is out now. Listen to it below.While writing “Sentinel,” serpentwithfeet was thinking about “homoeroticism and the ways that men socialize when they’re isolated,” he said in a statement. “Then I started thinking about patriarchy. One of the ways it’s sustained is because men instinctively know their role. Whether you’re the alpha or the…

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, Rolling Stone may receive an affiliate commission. Tech has become boring. But there was a time back in the late Nineties and Oughts when gadgets were more fun. Led by Apple’s playful designs, brands were putting out retro-futuristic devices marked by colorful translucent plastic that was far more lively than the soulless matte black and metallic devices of today. Now, however, Therabody is bringing back that colorful aesthetic with the release of a limited-edition Theragun Mini Y2K Collection. Launched with Danielle Fishel of Boy Meets…
