On Wednesday, Troye Sivan took to X to tease what he called “the gayest music video of my career.” He emphasized, in a reply to the original post, that this video would not just be gay—it would be “GAY gay.” Now, alongside the release of his album She’s the Best, Sivan has shared a video for the new song “FF.” He spends most of the clip, directed by Gordon von Steiner, feeling up a hunky guy in and around a chicly appointed beach house. Good for him! There’s also some product placement for Mistr. Our house view: as far as…
Troye Sivan has trailed his fourth studio album with one serious flex after another. The video for its trip-hoppy lead single and title song, ‘She’s the Best’, stars a strikingly game Nicole Kidman, who slinks down the street as Sivan speak-sings about a goddess with a “great smile and a cum stain on her dress”. Then came a more uptempo second single, the bacchanalian house banger ‘Party’, which features an instantly recognisable interpolation from Madonna’s Y2K chart-topper ‘Music’. Well, why align yourself with one certified “Mother” when you can call in a favour from two? The album as a whole,…

The pop star discussed the controversial topic in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, where she was asked directly whether she would ever use it during the creative process. “I would never use AI in any of my music,” Rodrigo responded. “Absolutely no. Hard line on that.” She did reveal that she and long-time producer Dan Nigro had played around with ideas once, explaining: “The closest I’d ever got is that once, me and Dan were…
Rosalía has revealed that Bono reached out to ask for her help with some Spanish lyrics while working on U2’s forthcoming song about her. The Spanish star discussed the unlikely exchange during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last night (Wednesday October 7), explaining that she and the U2 frontman have still never met in person. Their contact came while Bono was working on ‘The Mirror Maker (Rosalía)’, the fourth track on U2’s forthcoming album ‘Carnaval De Luz’. “I don’t know him personally, but he texted me and told me that he had this new project and…
Blossoms have spoken to NME about the race for this week’s Number One against The Beatles and Johnny Marr with their latest album ‘Songs From The Wedding Cake’, as well as their mission to keep things DIY and handmade in the age of AI. The Stockport indie veterans released their sixth album last week (Friday October 2), which found itself sandwiched in-between The Beatles’ ‘Rubber Soul’ reissue and The Smiths icon Marr’s new solo effort ‘The Age Of Everything‘ at Number Two in the midweeks. “It’s mad, to be honest,” frontman Tom Ogden told NME of their chart placing. “Liverpool…

In 2024 he was arrested, seven years after he started to collect royalties from the fake streams. It was also reported by the…
