A mistrial was declared Friday after jurors said they were hopelessly deadlocked in the case of Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother charged with killing her three young children during what her lawyer described as a severe episode of postpartum psychosis. The decision came after a note from the foreperson on Thursday said the jury was split 11-1, with a lone holdout juror who allegedly acknowledged doubt existed in the case but was refusing to follow the judge’s instructions about the law. Clancy’s lawyer, Kevin Reddington, argued Friday that the juror should be removed, but the judge resisted. During the closely…

When Rolling Stone last talked with folk-rock songwriter Medium Build, he admitted to being worried about all he’s accomplished suddenly disappearing. “There’s a huge fear of: If I stopped working, will it all go away?” he said last year. While those concerns didn’t come true, the pressure to keep his foot on the gas nearly destroyed him. Nick Carpenter starting releasing music under the name of Medium Build with the 2016 album Falling Apart. By 2023, he was turning red-hot: a collab with X Ambassadors, “Friend for Life,” was on the charts, he played Coachella, and then toured with Tyler…
Adéla is missing home on “Therapy,” the penultimate song on her debut album, Prima. The quiet, almost distorted ballad shows a different side of the 22-year-old pop phenom: On the nine songs that precede “Therapy,” she is hungry for pop success. “KGB,” the rattling dance note on which she opens the album, is defined by its tenacity — the late nights she worked to learn English, the pop giants she studied while growing up in Slovakia, her plan to leave a bold mark on the genre. But “Therapy” is just sad. Midway through the song, Adéla sounds deflated as she…

Stella Lefty is facing allegations of plagiarism once again – this time for similarities between one of her songs and a 2017 hit from Blake Shelton. Her song in question is ‘Why Wouldn’t We’, which she released as a single earlier this year and also featured on her debut album ‘Long Way Home’ which arrived last month. Since it arrived, some people online have gone on to highlight some common ground with Shelton’s ‘I’ll Name The Dogs’, which dropped in 2017 and went on to win Song of the Year at the Nashville Songwriter Awards the following year. Not only…
2026 has been the year of the prodigious popstar blow-up; from the sudden explosion in the careers of Olivia Dean and Slayyyter to Zara Larsson’s inescapable Eurosummer. And while it’s not exactly hard to pinpoint why we need constant uplift from the world’s troubles at large; we’re thankful that at the centre of this carnage, a pink-haired pop supernova has been serving up a potent antidote to the madness, waiting for just the right moment to cut through the noise. It’s been a momentous year for Slovakian singer ADÉLA, whose first taste of fame was competing on the 2023 reality…
