After much teasing, Fontaines D.C. have announced their fifth studio album; Dopamine Chamber is out October 16 via XL. The lead single, “Marianne,” is out now and comes with a music video helmed by Dave Meyers, the go-to director for some of pop and hip-hop’s internet-breaking visuals. Check it out below.Dopamine Chamber was produced by James Ford and follows the Irish band’s 2024 album Romance, which has since been certified platinum, helping Fontaines D.C. achieve mainstream success with hits “Favourite” and “Starburster.” They don’t seem to be embracing that view from up top, though. “Marianne” is billed as a song…

The recent Deep Purple reunion could be the “last time” the bandmates ever see each other, according to Ritchie Blackmore. Read More: Deep Purple – ‘Whoosh!’ review: rockers’ 21st record is stupidly fun and outrageously silly The founding guitarist of the London rock band joined them on stage last week for the first time in 33 years. Blackmore assisted on a rendition of the group’s 1972 classic song, ‘Smoke On The Water’, at the gig in Wantagh, New York. He has since spoken about the experience in an interview with Guitar Player. “It was very moving because I went on very quickly…

Throughout her career, Grimes has been a frontrunner among Western artists in appreciating and collaborating with East Asian pop acts. Over the years, she’s woven herself into K-pop lore by interviewing aespa and guesting on LOONA sub-unit yyxy’s ‘Love4eva’, and shown love to Taiwan by enlisting 潘PAN on ‘Art Angels’ track ‘Scream’. That she’s now teamed up with Japan’s turquoise-pigtailed Vocaloid star Hatsune Miku on ‘Miku-maxxing’, the frenetic lead track from the synthetic pop star’s new ‘Beyond Borders’ project, feels like it was inevitable to happen eventually. On ‘Beyond Borders Vol.1: Emerge M♡de Miku’, Miku teams up with a range…

When Ayra Starr first stepped onto the scene, she became a go-to for pristine, pretty music with her first two albums – ‘19 & Dangerous’ (2021) and ‘The Year I Turned 21’ (2024) – both powered by chart zingers. But on ‘Starrgirl’, the Beninese-Nigerian singer ascends, becoming an artist who knows her space in the music world and still pushes at the sides of the box to make more room. Bouncing between R&B, blues, Afropop and pure pop balladry, she is more confident, playful and sure in her own light – which shines brighter than ever on this record. Kicking…

Les Claypool has spoken to NME about his latest album with Sean Ono Lennon, how a “new energy” that Primus haven’t seen for “many years” is inspiring new material, and comparisons to viral duo Angine de Poitrine. ‘The Great Parrot-Ox And The Golden Egg Of Empathy’ with Lennon dropped in May and marked the third LP from the duo as part of The Claypool Lennon Delirium. Structured as a psychedelic-prog concept album, the record follows the narrative of an AI robot gradually turning humanity into paperclips, but also holds themes of empathy, mortality and free will at its core. “Shiner…

Rosie O’Donnell took over Jimmy Kimmel Live last night as guest host and used the opportunity to take aim at her long-time nemesis, Donald Trump. “If you thought the president hated Jimmy Kimmel Live when it was hosted by Jimmy Kimmel?” O’Donnell declared as she kicked off Monday night’s episode, her first in a four-night stand as guest host. “Buckle up, people! Buckle up.” She explained that Trump’s reign has been so bad it forced her to vacate the country. “I’ve been living in Ireland for the past two years because of Mango Mussolini,” she said. “I read that Project 2025…

Shakira made a surprise visit yesterday to Quibdó, the capital of the Colombian province of Chocó, where nearly 200 schools have reported damage following the 7.4-magnitude earthquake that struck the country on Aug. 10. During the visit, Shakira committed an initial $1.25 million to help rebuild 10 schools and a university via her charitable foundation. The Colombian singer toured several damaged schools and met with children. She was accompanied by Howard Buffett, son of billionaire philanthropist Warren Buffett and a longtime donor to Colombia who has helped Shakira set up schools there before. The $1.25 million pledge brings together several…

Irish post-punk band Fontaines D.C. are officially back and have announced their fifth album. Dopamine Chamber arrives on Oct. 16 via XL Recordings and the record’s lead single, “Marianne,” is out now. “Marianne” pulls from the same post-punk chords of their last album Romance. With atmospheric drums and brooding guitar, Chatten beckons the listener to him like a snake oil salesman: “This year, you should come and stay here,” he sings. “You can follow my lead/I can help you disappear.” “Marianne” takes partial inspiration in the 2024 miniseries Ripley, which starred fellow Irishman Andrew Scott. Dopamine Chamber was produced by James Ford,…

Taylor Swift has praised Phoebe Bridgers‘ ‘Lost Weekend’, hailing the album as an “absolute triumph in every way”. The pop star shared a post about her friend and former collaborator’s third studio record on Instagram last night (Monday August 17), following the project’s release last Friday (August 14). “It’s her birthday but she gave us a gift,” wrote Swift, who teamed up with Bridgers on ‘Nothing New’ – a ‘From The Vault’ track from 2021’s ‘Red (Taylor’s Version)’. “Haven’t been able to stop listening. This album is an absolute triumph in every way,” she told her followers. The singer went…
