A 'strategic partnership' to consolidate the presence of the multinational on the Spanish-speaking markets Daniel D`Amico for SANREMO.FM

Anyone who has spoken at a funeral can appreciate the delicate balance of honesty and sentimentality in effect on Hold Onto Me Infinity, a pop album about grief. Vocalist and multimedia artist Hayden Dunham performs today as Hyd, but first made their name in 2014 as QT of “Hey QT.” They’re a veteran of the PC Music house style, and a test case for how its signatures can be tweaked to new ends. In some respects, Hold Onto Me Infinity is a straightforward record of contemporary electropop, with few outright surprises. But Hyd unsettles this arrangement with their deadpan affect,…

While some might assume the Season Three finale of Euphoria would be the toughest for its talented roster of stars to film, Alexa Demie revealed that the show's second installment was the “hardest season, by far.” When speaking to iD for a conversation with novelist Ottessa Moshfegh, Demie detailed her growth throughout Euphoria's blockbuster three-season run and her relationship with Hollywood. For the 35-year-old actress, who played the magnetic and calculating “It Girl” Maddy Perez, filming the final season “truly felt like the third act of my journey with the show and I felt held.” In contrast, by the end…

The debut of the Heimito Künst project left one stunned by its construction and the nature of the sounds. A first whirlwind step from which the kraut-inspired low-fidelity structures gradually turned towards more accessible and more enjoyable results. This process culminated in 2024 in the interesting collaboration with Dennis Callaci, oriented towards the exploration of the song form. What remains unchanged is the lysergic attitude, the lo-fi attitude and the Teutonic roots of the sound. With “Vol.3” literary inspiration returns – it's up to Thomas Bernhard to act as godfather – and the discussion of normalization of the material continues.…

Mabe Fratti and Bill Orcutt’s collaboration didn’t begin colorfully or dramatically; Fratti just liked Orcutt and said so publicly, prompting Orcutt to reach out, which resulted in their working—remotely, mostly—on a series of pieces. Both are busy and prolific, which sometimes makes picking highlights in their discographies difficult, but Almost Waking registers as immediately special. Orcutt and Fratti understand each other, and their collaboration might be the most relaxed, generous music either has made.If there is a loose theme to the eight pieces on Almost Waking, it might be “freedom of movement.” The dark clouds have dissipated from Orcutt’s guitar.…

For as long as we’ve known Kim Petras, we’ve known just how badly she wanted to be a pop star. The German singer never left any doubt about her dreams of becoming famous or the lengths she was willing to go to pursue them. For much of her career, Petras assumed the role of bimbo-starlet, leaning into the limelight in a way that both showcased her talent and spotlit the tradeoffs she’d made to get there. Her music owned up to being horny, garish, and superficial, but could scan as thin or cheap when held up to other kinds of…

Halfway through Diva, Jean-Jacques Beineix’s 1981 thriller about a young postman caught in a gangster plot after secretly recording a beautiful Black American opera soprano, the singer has a tough conversation with her agent. “Let them do their record, I will never sign,” she says, when she’s made aware that Taiwanese bootleggers are blackmailing her after stealing a copy of her stunning performance. Her agent snaps back: “It’s not a question of pride. So you either continue to follow your diva whims, or you act as a responsible adult and make this record.” Her situation—subject to exploitative forces beyond one’s…

C’è una canzone che riassume lo spirito di Everyone for Ten Minutes, il disco che i Bleachers hanno pubblicato una decina di giorni fa. Si chiama Dirty Wedding Dress e racconta un giorno memorabile e surreale nella vita di Jack Antonoff, quello del matrimonio con Margaret Qualley. C’era un sacco di gente famosa e famosissima e quindi centinaia di persone si sono accalcate fuori dal locale del ricevimento nella speranza d’intravedere un tocchetto di celebrità in uno spettacolo di ressa e telefoni alzati che il musicista ha chiamato Dipspalooza, che tradurrei liberamente come il festival del cretino.Quel pezzo riassume lo…

Rumours of Taylor Swift‘s involvement in Toy Story 5 have been revived once again. READ MORE: Taylor Swift – ‘The Life Of A Showgirl’ review: magical when the songwriter just lets herself be Speculation was first sparked last month, after the pop star posted a cryptic countdown on her website, which was taken down before it had a chance to be completed on May 2. While it was never mentioned what the countdown was for, some fans became convinced that it signalled a collaboration between the singer and the upcoming Toy Story film. This was largely due to the colour scheme of the website and…
