Charlie Puth made sure his tour behind his fourth album, Whatever's Clever!is unlike any pop show out there, packed with jazz chords, world-class funk bass, lengthy keyboard and guitar solos, and no choreography or stage gimmickry whatsoever. But his sold-out Friday night show at Madison Square Garden was the most one-of-a-kind concert so far of an already singular tour, thanks to an almost comically eclectic set of guest stars that only Puth would assemble in one place—Art Garfunkel, Jimmy Fallon, Busta Rhymes, and Kirk Franklin. “Each person I'm gonna bring up tonight has influenced me musically,” said Puth, who wore…
To talk about the biopic “Michael”, let's start immediately with two emblematic numbers: 38% and 97%. These are respectively the film's approval ratings from critics and audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, the most famous online aggregator of film and television reviews. Even on Metacritic, another site very frequented by cinephiles, the situation is similar, with an average of 39 points from critics and 79 from spectators. Given the obvious disparity in judgment, which of the two is right? We can affirm, Pilatesically, both, because the expectations from which they start are totally different. But before we get into the reviews, let's…

A US judge has ordered the removal of Donald Trump‘s name from the title of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, triggering a Truth Social tirade from the US President. It comes after a turbulent year for the venue, which has seen a host of artists cancelling their performances and boycotting the arts centre after the board that presides over the building voted to rename it the Trump-Kennedy Center last December. On Friday (May 29), a judge ruled that the Washington DC venue cannot be renamed without congressional approval, meaning Trump’s name must now be taken off the institution’s title, façade,…

“Momma gets by while Papa gets high,” Paul McCartney sings at the end of his superb new album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane. It's a story he's kept telling his whole career — the ballad of a tough, lonely, but resilient old woman, who nobody else even notices. He's always written songs about these women, going back to “Eleanor Rigby” and “Lady Madonna” to “Another Day” or “Jenny Wren.” This is Paul's favorite kind of person to sing about — or maybe just his favorite kind of person. It's always been something that sets McCartney apart from other male songwriters…

Election season seemingly never ends in America, but this year’s midterms are already shaping up to be a clash of unrestrained forces. The electoral anger of Americans stoked by increasing costs and disapproval over the Trump administration’s first two years of governance versus an increasingly erratic Donald Trump attempting to keep his stranglehold on the GOP and their congressional majority. With no presidential race on the ballot, the midterms are a chance for political hopefuls to step into the spotlight, but that doesn’t mean Trump isn’t trying to make them about himself. The president has already made clear that he…
