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…

It's one of those scenes that make you smile and melancholy at the same time, a bit like when you listen to some of his songs for the first time and you're not sure what to feel. Randy Newman hit the stage at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles for the premiere of Toy Story 5 and sang You've Got a Friend in Me with Taylor Swift. He didn't get there on his own two feet, man and piano were slid motionless yet self-propelled from the back of the stage. He seemed perhaps unable to make certain movements, aged beyond…
Taylor Swift reflected on her career and celebrated the craft of songwriting as she was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame Thursday, June 11. Swift recalled words of wisdom actress and Steven Spielberg's wife, Kate Capshaw, once told her: “Good and true things are easy.” The Grammy winning singer-songwriter continued, “I look back at my entire 23 year career in music, the ups and downs, the industry battles, the trials and tribulations, the tears and the cheers, and the dog piling of doubt, the criticisms of fair and unfair, the complete loss of privacy, the world tours, and the…

Olivia Rodrigo’s third album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, is here, and with it a new music video for the track “Stupid Song.” The music video follows a hoodie-sporting, head-over-heels Rodrigo wandering around New York City with four ballerinas in tow, realizing: “I feel right, I feel wrong, I feel totally insane.” Watch it below.“Stupid Song” is the third single from the just-released album, following “Drop Dead” and “The Cure.” Last week, Rodrigo also previewed the song “What’s Wrong With Me?”—a duet with the Cure’s Robert Smith—during a surprise set at Primavera Sound. Her new…

Proust called love reciprocal torture, Bukowski said it was stranger than grass on fire, and Olivia Rodrigo admitted it was fucking embarrassing. Yet on “Drop Dead,” the opening cut from her new album, here she is in free fall, heart on her sleeve, ready to risk everything as hope and possibility flicker over a magical night — poets, philosophers, and past lessons be damned. The song is a pure dopamine rush, built on heart-thudding percussion and glowing synths, the thrill of romance and anticipation ramping up with each euphoric line: “Kiss me, and I might drop dead.” This could well…
