The pop-star magic of 2022’s massive “Bad Habit,” one of the defining hits of the TikTok era, is that it’s a big, professional smash that doesn’t really sound like one. The unexpected breakout from Steve Lacy’s Grammy-winning Gemini Rights widened the scope of his ditzy, talky demos while hanging onto the looseness of a guy freestyling in his childhood bedroom. Compared to the old stuff he used to drop on his own when he was mainly known as the youngin’ ripping the guitar in the R&B band the Internet, “Bad Habit” isn’t nearly as diaristic or cheeky, but it captures…

Who passed away in December 2025 at the age of 74, the British guitarist and singer-songwriter climbed the charts thanks to a cultured and elegant mix of pop, rock, blues and funky-disco.

Hailed in his early days as one of the purest promises of English music, Rea was often snubbed by the specialized press, accused by purists of having sold out his art to commercial…
Cher will have to pick up her own $1 million legal tab racked up from her court fight with Sonny Bono's widow, Mary Bono. While Cher was the overall victor in their battle over royalties following a federal judge's decision in December 2025, the singer was denied her bid to force Mary to repay her $1,023,605 legal bill, as Billboard reports.
