“I have become comfortably numb” becomes “I will never become comfortably numb”. The state of numbness and apathy of the rock star Pink, who is put back on his feet by a Dr. Feelgood to go on stage, is transformed into the promise not to let himself be overcome by indifference.The new version of Comfortably NumbPink Floyd's classic The Wallarrived on streaming platforms after being presented in April in New York. Roger Waters and Palestinian singer Mona Miari play her, with parts in English and Arabic. “When I was young I dreamed of freedom,” she sings, “hope burns fierce in…

Last year, Rodrigo released her live duets with Smith as part of her ‘Live From Glastonbury 2025’ album. She had introduced the frontman by calling him “perhaps the greatest songwriter to come out of England” and “a personal hero of mine”. Rodrigo has since said she’d been “diving deeper into The Cure’s…
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…

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…
