Ceebo has swiftly become UK rap’s most vital storyteller. Over two acclaimed mixtapes, 2024’s ‘LambethNotLA’ and last year’s ‘Blair Babies’, the NME 100 star’s vivid lyrical vignettes of council house living and social sharpness have given voice to a misguided, misrepresented generation trying to make sense of their lives, all while he, too, actively made his way out of the mud. The Lambeth musician’s climb to the top of UK rap is nearing its end – he knows he’s next in line for the throne – but what do you do when the fame you’ve always wanted begins to look…

Arianna Del Giaccio, in arte Ariete, ha 24 anni e a marzo ne farà 25. E ne ha passati due e mezzo lontano da tutto: nessun tour, nessuna apparizione, si è concentrata solo sulla scrittura. Il risultato è che oggi è uscito Tutti tornano a casa, il suo nuovo album per Bomba Dischi che arriva a tre anni da La notte e dove ha scritto anche diverse musiche partendo dai giri di chitarra e di pianoforte. Si tratta di 12 canzoni e quattro collaborazioni (Angelina Mango, Fulminacci, Tredici Pietro, Prima stanza a destra) per un disco che parte dall’alveare e…

The Rolling Stones shared a music video for their song “Mr. Charm.” The cinematic clip, shot in Palmdale, California, stars Alexander Skarsgård and was directed by Henry Scholfield. In the video, Skarsgård’s character arrives at a run-down motel and diner in the desert, where he immediately charms all of the patrons. Only one woman, played by model Sara Sampaio, seems immune to his magnetic allure. The band also released a previously-unheard track, “Bad Luck Hideaway.” The song, a duet between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, features drums from Charlie Watts, which were recorded from the sessions at British Grove. The…

Ben Affleck confirmed he put AI to use in his upcoming film Animals. Speaking to Bloomberg Screentime, Affleck said he “used it for lots of things in that movie.” “I’m a little bit hesitant to point out what they are or even talk about it because, in my business, we’re trying to foster the illusion of reality, right?” Affleck said. “It’s sort of like if you went to a magic show and the magician walked out and said, ‘Just before I start, I want you to know there’s another bunny under here. This guy’s a plant.’ It sort of ruins…

I sometimes wonder what it must be like to have a voice, the kind that changes the weather in a room and makes you feel conspicuous singing “Happy Birthday.” Meernaa’s Carly Bond has one, a subtle showstopper with woodwind’s suedey richness, a way of coaxing the essence out of a note, and a hazy sort of longing shared by Sade, Norah Jones, and Danielle Haim. It’s one of absolute composure, near-calligraphic precision—making it a great foil for the gripping instability of Bond’s lyrics. On Methuselah, the Oakland songwriter is ceaselessly flung out of the present as she worries at memories…

On Stef Chura’s first two albums, the Detroit singer-songwriter expressed disappointments with subtle tricks of her voice: a little flip, a pointed hiccup, or a strung-out note. “Leadweight,” which kicks off Dancing Alone on the Concrete, her first album in seven years, offers a reminder of Chura’s exquisite control over her timbre. The backdrop—a loping drum pattern, guitar chords about as textured as potato chunks in a can of soup—is nothing to write home about. But her voice vacillates with supernatural ease between warm and pissy, as she threatens to go downtown and shake off a bummed-out boyfriend.Chura’s previous work…

Duff said she hoped “CATastrophe” would be “something you’d turn all the way up in the car.” Mission accomplished Hilary Duff has released a song for The Cat in the Hat soundtrack, fittingly titled “CATastrophe.” Co-written with Duff’s husband and collaborator Matthew Koma, as well as Madison Love and Brian Phillips, the track is a hypnotic pop gem with clever, feline-friendly lines: “Hey, I got nine lives,” she sings. “Let’s live one up tonight.” In the video, she unpacks several boxes, and dives into a psychedelic Dr. Seuss-like world. On her Instagram story, Duff shared a video of her in…

Noah Kahan has released his contribution to the upcoming The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping soundtrack, “Draw You Out.” The song may be one of the most compelling tracks to be included in the list of Hunger Games soundtracks that include the likes of Grammy-winning “Safe & Sound” by Taylor Swift featuring The Civil Wars for Songs from District 12 and Beyond and Olivia Rodrigo’s “Can’t Catch Me Now” for The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. On “Draw You Out,” Kahan delivers the aching chorus: “I carry you on with me/I promised you I would, and I do/And I…

For a couple of decades America was choosin’ Carrie Underwood, Morgan Wallen, and Jason Aldean before Miranda Lambert; then Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas,” co-written and co-produced by Lambert, turned into the longest-running No. 1 single ever. The timing for a new album is ideal, and Crisco arrives with no shortage of confidence—Lambert may have released a couple blah albums, but not one is half-assed. Crisco numbers among the blah ones, alas, which pains me because for a long time this country act was my favorite pop artist in any genre.Working with new producer Jesse Frasure and a new band, including…
