Lana Del Rey has performed at the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix, and played ‘White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter’ live for the first time. The gig marked the first live performance from the singer in nearly a year, and saw her deliver a career-spanning set that featured ‘Young and Beautiful’, ‘Video Games’, ‘Summertime Sadness’ and more. Like in her previous run of live shows, the Singapore set saw her design the stage with a small house with a porch, and perform alongside backing dancers while sitting on a swing for a good portion of the show. Unlike all previous…

Inside a former Presbyterian church in the heart of London’s West End, Troye Sivan is throwing a party. It’s in honour of the release of his song ‘Party’ (of course), and over the course of the night, the Australian pop star puts on a celebration befitting the track’s hedonistic thesis statement. In a room that also once had a short life as the iconic ’80s nightclub The Limelight – frequented by the likes of George Michael, Grace Jones and Iggy Pop – he’s invited an exclusive guest list of friends and fans to indulge in his medieval bacchanalia. In about…

Earlier this summer, Nieve Ella told NME that while she was initially unsure what to centre her highly anticipated debut album around, one thing was certain: it needed to “sound like a massive fucking theatre piece” that caught even her most devoted fans off guard. The alt-pop star has certainly achieved her goal with the spellbinding ‘How Long Will It Take?’, where she captures the exhaustion of navigating modern life and comes to terms with the messiness of growing up. Through a blend of hazy, indie-drenched melodies, tender lyricism and gritty guitar riffs, Ella strikes a compelling balance between vulnerability…

Maren Morris responded to Shane Gillis‘ controversial Saturday Night Live monologue by giving the comedian the middle finger. Gillis hosted the late-night sketch show on Saturday night and spent his monologue commenting on how women dress at the gym. “I haven’t been to the gym in so long I didn’t know women just dress like whores now?” Gillis said. “Look, I’m sorry, there’s no other way to describe it. Have you seen it? I’ve seen it. You’ve seen the shorts? They’re those neon, like, artificial bait-colored. And the wrinkles go around the cheeks and all combine at the butthole. And…

Donald Trump has been vocal about a lot of things this week, including losing out on the Nobel Peace Prize again and his dislike of Jimmy Kimmel. At a recent rally, the president describe Kimmel as a “loser” because the late-night host commented on the empty seats at one of his events. “This loser, Jimmy Kimmel,” Trump told the crowd at the rally. “What a loser. I had just left Texas or somewhere. The place is packed. And maybe it was Ohio. The place is packed.” Trump then mimicked Kimmel, adding, “He said, ‘Donald Trump had a sparsely attended [rally].’…

On social media, summer 2026 was all about whimsy. Burnt out and bored, people started reincorporating playfulness into their lives with outfit updates and bedazzled everything. Up in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, the five members of Gash have been following their own spontaneous creative impulses for years. The experimental rock band began shaping its fourth album, at least you know what you’re laughing at, as a series of digital compositions uploaded to Google Drive and later workshopped them into songs that sparkle, billow, and occasionally jut out enough to draw blood. Stitched together as an eight-song collage, the album illustrates true…

In the late ’70s, the R&B subgenre known as quiet storm gave us what I like to call “Sunday music.” Albums from Smokey Robinson (whose 1975 album The Quiet Storm inspired an intern at Washington, D.C., station WHUR-FM to coin the term), Anita Baker, and Luther Vandross produced soulful music to play in a restful house. Flowing across bright piano chords, silky percussion, and vocals that sound like they’re reverberating through wooden pews, the songs blanket their environment with waves of nostalgic calm that still vibrate with effusive yearning. When Brian Eno pioneered another sedate genre, ambient, with Ambient 1:…
