Sparklmami’s debut album started from an unusual place: a decade of relative silence. Born Ariella Granados and raised in Texas, she spent part of her childhood singing for a church band, then stopped entirely. “When I left church, I stopped singing for 10 years,” she told UCLA Radio. “I like to think that in those 10 years, I was researching and really figuring out what it is that I liked.” After moving to Chicago for college, Granados spent her 20s as a visual artist, performer, and makeup artist, all while quietly writing songs on the side. Winning an artist residency…

If you come across an album that was recorded in Toronto and blurs the edges between indie pop, new-age gloss, and sultry jazz grooves, chances are Joseph Shabason was involved. Forget indie sleaze—Shabason’s aesthetic hews closer to “indie smooth,” whether he’s contributing suave sax licks to Destroyer’s Kaputt, forming a culinary-themed soft-pop supergroup called Fresh Pepper, or pursuing a headier avant-jazz approach on his solo records. The saxophonist is a musical shapeshifter who lends his talents far and wide, but his dreamiest, most conventionally melodic music usually arises from his long-running collaboration with vocalist Nicholas Krgovich.The pair recruited multi-instrumentalist Chris…

Song from 2002 was nominated for Record of the Year at Las Culturistas Culture Awards As the 2026 edition of Bravo's Las Culturistas Culture Awards wound down, co-hosts Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers decided to perform one of the nominees for Record of the Year: Mandy Moore's “Only Hope.” Their campy rendition came a few minutes before Moore sang it herself at the ceremony, which was filmed in late May in Los Angeles but aired Peacock Wednesday night. The hosts' rendition began with Rogers melodramatically singing over the piano melody until Yang joined in for a go at the verses,…

The winners of the most important, cherished, and coveted awards in all of pop culture were finally revealed tonight (well, at least some of them) as comedians Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers hosted the fifth annual Las Culturistas Culture Awards. Spun off from Yang and Rogers’ podcast, Las Culturistas, the Culture Awards lovingly spoof the entertainment industry’s obsession with prizes and self-congratulation. There are 100 categories (seriously), the vast majority of them ridiculous bits, and even the semi-serious ones basically gags, too. For instance, the nominees for this year’s Album of the Year prize included actually relevant records released within…

To celebrate Lisa Kudrow‘s win of the Lifetime of Culture award at Las Culturistas Culture Awards, Ben Platt sang a popular song from Friends, and since it was Kudrow’s day, month, and even her year, it fortuitously was not the theme song. Instead, it was Taylor Swift fave, “Smelly Cat.” Plus, he got a little help from Bob Baker Marionettes. Malin Akerman, who appears on The Comeback with Kudrow, introduced the performance at the event, which was filmed in Los Angeles on May 30 but aired on Bravo and Peacock Wednesday night. Performing in front of dumpsters, Platt first intonated…
