While some artists begrudgingly hopped on TikTok to market their music, Coi Leray turned the app into her digital playground with bite-sized hits like “Big Purr (Prrdd)” and “Twinnem.” The 26-year-old rapper and singer knows how to play the numbers game, to create frenetic snippets to hold a toddler’s attention in between episodes of Bluey and Temple Run. Her imprint, Trendsetter Studios, seems to be based on principles of originality and future-forward creations. True to Trendsetters’ mission statement, Coi Leray models a future where generative AI has taken over the music industry. The year is 2040, and the only songs…

Among the albums there has never been a more shining example of Synchronicity of the Police, who turns 40 today.Released on June 17, 1983, it is the last album by the Police before the dissolution, the one that seems to have drained all the…

Partly because it’s the first edition, partly because it follows the conclusion of a literally fiery Catalan chapter, with a total of 253,000 participants, 317 shows and a start of fire during the Skrillex performance. Not everything was missing. There is a number, however, that speaks for itself: 257. This is the total number of artists who are preparing to bring the energy of the spiritual parent of all European festivals to the Spanish capital. Among them, leading names such as Kendrick Lamar, Depeche Mode, Halsey, Rosalía, Calvin Harris, Blur,…
