Pitchork: The show last night was intimate. Is that how you picture them going down in your head?Luhh Dyl: I guess, but I want to make it an experience with instruments, outfit changes, tuxedos, nice dress shoes.Sounds like an image out of an old Detroit family photo album.You know what’s crazy? My family don’t even got a photo album. We been asking about why we don’t got one forever, bro. I got a lot of addicts in my family. Nobody really with their head on straight. So we missed out on regular things like that.What was the Brightmoor area of…
Ella Langley’s mournful country ballad “Choosin’ Texas” has broken record after record, sitting atop national and international charts for weeks in a row. The Rolling Stone pick for song of the summer is an easy earworm about love, loss, and the Lone Star State, but some on the right are hearing their own favorite tune: a global conspiracy. No, the fever swamps of the right are not taking the stance that Langley is a nepo baby, or industry plant, or inflating her streams, — that would be too straightforward. Instead, over the past few weeks, some of the most prominent…
On July 29 — a month after the Recording Academy created a new Best Asian Pop Music Performance category for the Grammy Awards — the seven BTS members shared a collective message on their individual Instagram accounts that made international headlines. “We have decided not to submit an entry for Grammy consideration this year,” they wrote. “We hope music can be heard and loved for what it is, rather than being divided by region or language. We thank [our fandom] ARMY and everyone who has always stood by us.” Many focused on RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jung…
Adele Bertei has hit out at the post that producer David Holmes made about Sinead O’Connor’s final album, accusing him of “exploiting” the late singer’s memory. The post in question relates to the update Homes shared on Instagram over the weekend, in which he marked the third anniversary of O’Connor’s death and revealed that they had been working on an album together called ‘No Veteran Dies Alone’. Holmes worked with the singer in the final few years of her career, and uploaded photos showing “a couple of texts” he received from her “while producing what would be her final album.”…
A new generation of Baltimore club producers is putting their spin on the genre’s classic combo of fast, rugged breaks, call-and-response vocals, and stuttering sample chops of whatever’s fun. Artists like SDOT, CalvoMusic, Jialing, and Kade Young have made some of my favorite dance music of the past few years, plugging their city’s raw bounce into tracks with contemporary, detailed production and creative sound selection. “Leswerk,” a highlight from Kade’s new EP Gravity, is one of few Baltimore club tracks I would call Villalobos-ian. As you’d expect, it’s pretty minimal and percussion-driven. But the percussion is weird: Kade uses pitched,…
If you thought Justin Long digging his own grave in the music video for “Hate That I Made You Love Me” was intense, wait until you see Ariana Grande’s latest visual for Petal’s title track. Once again directed by Christian Breslauer, the seven-minute short film opens with a parental advisory warning before Grande makes her appearance as a bright-eyed aspiring actress named Pepper. After several failed auditions, things take a bloody turn when a shadowy producer accuses Grande’s character of being “inauthentic.” She then gives a performance truly worthy of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Watch it all go down below.Petal…

The country hitmaker takes a major swing with his new Wild West concept album, and mostly connects On his third album, 2024’s Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, and its monster hit, “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” Shaboozey is a cowboy for our times. The Virginia-raised Nigerian American artist is blessed with a cavernous baritone and a sense of music history where rap and country converse as equally elastic genres and equally deep traditions. It’s no surprise to hear him thinking big with his ambitious new concept album, The Outlaw Cherie Lee & Other Western Tales. According to Shaboozey, the…
