The pop singer has famously channeled Dion multiple times, including on The Tonight Show It’s no secret Ariana Grande is very good at impressions. She has famously impersonated numerous fellow singers, including Britney Spears and Celine Dion, during appearances on shows like Saturday Night Live and The Tonight Show. Her impression of Dion is so good, in fact, that the pop diva apparently laughed so hard at it that she “peed.” Ariana’s brother Frankie Grande stopped by The Tonight Show last night to discuss his Broadway career and the Tonys, but also recounted meeting Dion right after his sister had…
During Taylor Swift's 21-minute acceptance speech when being inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame on Thursday, the star quoted Yellowstone's John Dutton when sharing words of wisdom for young artists. “I would say you really have to prioritize what you love down to your very core, because you'll need that if your song ever gets heard by the public or the critics or the haters posing as critics or the people chronically online, or the robots posing as people who are chronically online,” said Swift in her heartfelt message to hopeful artists watching. “Songwriters have a real balancing act…
Arrived at fourteenth edition, open air dedicates this new chapter to the music we are passionate about, the one that 'burns inside' and makes us live unforgettable emotions. A new episode that marks the evolution of a festival that has always been built around a simple and precise objective: bringing people together in unique places to live unrepeatable experiences, guided by excellent music. How many times have we felt that flame burning during a concert?

The only Indian track on NASA’s Voyager Golden Record, curated by Carl Sagan in 1977 and currently drifting billions of kilometers away from Earth, is Kesarbai Kerkar’s “Jaat Kahan Ho.” There are moments in the song when the Hindustani classical vocalist is almost crying—the aching is too perceptible, too universal. While the genre spans from heroic to erotic to devotional, it is also anchored in yearning, born of separation, or viraha, which takes many forms. In “Jaat Kahan Ho,” it arrives through the voice of someone watching a young woman leaving. Consider, too, “Babul Mora Naihar Chhooto Jaaye,” the popular…

From the moment he emerged with the biggest joke of 2013, Baauer has yearned to be taken seriously. The Brooklyn-based producer was diplomatically gracious about the ubiquitous dance challenge that skyrocketed his “Harlem Shake” into the ears of every normie with an iPhone camera. But for artist who grew up studying BBC 1 Essential Mixes and idolizing Daft Punk, breaking out with a song closer to the cultural lineage of “Gangnam Style” than “One More Time” wasn’t the big arrival he’d envisioned. He attempted reroutes with a 2016 debut laden with brash trap production and features from hip-hop royalty, then…
It's Kylie-mania all over again. The new three-episode miniseries from Netflix Kylie it is not the usual portrait of a celebrity, but a tribute to the stainless charm of Kylie Minogue. In a world of stars who come and go, she continues to dance undaunted. On paper it shouldn't happen, especially for a dance singer who in the 80s was considered one of the many disco dolls with teased hair. Who expected that this Australian soap opera actress could become famous and is even adopted by hipsters? Not only that, being able to stay at the top for so long…
From Ultimo to Achille Lauro: why the new generations cannot ignore a giant. Daniel D`Amico for SANREMO.FM
During a rocky comeback in 2023, Skrillex struggled to find a middle ground between his signature festival drops and new-gen emo rap across not one but two albums. So when the bass provocateur surprise-released F*CK U SKRILLEX YOU THINK UR ANDY WARHOL BUT UR NOT!! <3 two years later, the newfound ease in his mischief-making came as a relief. Released as a goodbye letter to his label of 15 years, Atlantic, F*CK U SKRILLEX was tight but freewheeling, charging from one bite-sized sample into another over the quake of rumbling wub. It was effortlessly funny and exceedingly fun, the sound…
The B-side tracks the relationship’s downturn. She names a song about realizing that love doesn’t fix everything “the cure,” and then Robert Smith himself, whom Rodrigo invited onstage for a couple of duets at her Glastonbury headlining set last year, pops up to feature on “what’s wrong with me.” Over murky synths, the two singers complain about how terrible they feel post-breakup, and when they sing “I can’t eat/I can’t sleep” together, Rodrigo and Smith’s accents diverge charmingly, can’t and cahn’t.“what’s wrong with me” lands between a pair of stripped-down tracks, the acoustic ballad “begged” and the piano torch song…
