Mac DeMarco fans awoke to a surprise on Friday: four new albums from the singer-songwriter. Well, they’re sort of new—some fans have already heard Dog on the Rock, Seven Off the Two, Seaplane Dog, and The View From Tian Tian, after being handed copies of them on CD-Rs during DeMarco’s most recent tour. The releases, premiering on DSPs for the first time today, still maintain their scrappy origins, with each song named after a seemingly random set of numbers. Give them all a listen below.Demarco’s most recent album, Guitar, dropped in 2025.Dog on the RockListen on Apple MusicListen on SpotifyListen…

Jamie T opened up about his current headspace in the run-up to his long-awaited new album, as he spoke to NME backstage at Reading 2026. The musician, real name Jamie Treays, released his first piece of new music in three years earlier this month with ‘3310’. He kicked off Reading & Leeds down south with a last-minute “surprise” set on the main stage, The Grid. Shortly after his 33-minute and 10-second set, he joined NME backstage, where he talked about how he was feeling about his return and impending sixth album, ‘Ghosts (100 Days Of Mourning)’. The record, which will…

Halsey doesn’t quite consider herself a pop star these days. It’s a status she solidified about a decade ago, with “Closer,” then “Bad at Love,” and then again with “Without Me.” But even then, she felt a little out of a place and a bit rough around the edges by pop standards. Hanging out in New Jersey and Brooklyn isn’t the best crash course for red carpets and awards shows. Lately, Halsey feels about as connected to the label as she does with the version of herself who made them — which is to say very little. ‘Rock star,’ on…

Goodbye Karoline Leavitt, we wish we’d known you less. After 585 days serving as President Donald Trump’s Press Secretary — the second longest tenure of the five he’s had while in office — Leavitt is stepping down from her role to spend more time with her two young children.  Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Leavitt described her departure as “bittersweet.”  “I’ll miss you guys. I know that’s probably not something anyone would expect me to say, but obviously it’s been great working with all of you,” she told a gaggle of White House correspondents. What “I think people don’t realize…

Miguel has published an extensive statement addressing what he describes as more than a year of “racism, harassment, stalking, invasions of privacy, and false allegations” towards himself, his partner Margaret Zhang, and their child. “Recent racist and anti-Asian attacks directed at my partner – including comments and DMs, as well as abusive comments about my child – crossed a line that should require no explanation,” Miguel wrote on Instagram. The singer-songwriter said he can “accept the realities that come with doing anything in public,” whether that be about himself or his music, “but racism, threats, harassment, stalking, invasions of privacy,…

Julianna Barwick and Mary Lattimore have lined up their second collaborative album of the year: a score for Threshold, a documentary about Olympic cross-country skier Jessie Diggins made by the American directors Lars and Torsten Brinkema.

Ice Spice and Lil Yachty have a new song together, “Out My Face (My Baby).” Both the track and its accompanying video, directed by AMD and Yachty himself, are split into two halves. The clip’s first act stages Ice Spice in a variety of lightly surreal tableaus—a boardwalk face-in-the-hole board, surrounded by masks of her own face, momentarily pregnant. Then the beat switches and the video does too, to a diner scene where Karrahboo and Yachty’s fellow Concrete Boys members make brief cameos. Watch below.Ice Spice’s last album, Y2K!, came out in 2024. She has two recent viral hits to…

“I didn’t always give the record companies the best song,” Prince said in 2014, in his final Rolling Stone interview. “There are songs in the vault that no one’s ever heard. There are several vaults; it’s not just one vault… So much gets recorded that you don’t have time to compile everything. In the future you could put all the best stuff from one particular time period together and then you can release it.”  The posthumous Prince album Timeless, out now, takes the opposite approach, compiling previously unreleased tracks that span each decade of Prince’s career. Highlights include the funky…

A little over a year after the Who got into a very public spat with longtime drummer Zak Starkey, where they fired him, re-hired him three days later, and then fired him again the following month, a surprising new chapter in the saga has begun.  While playing a solo show at the Encore Theater in Las Vegas on August 26, Roger Daltrey told the crowd that the Who recently rehearsed with Starkey for a possible European leg of their Song Is Over farewell tour. “It sounded great,” he said, according to a review in the Las Vegas Review-Journal.  Starkey shared…
