Shawn Mendes And Camila Cabello’s Puppy Stars In New Video For ‘The Christmas Song’
At the end of last week, Shawn Mendes unveiled his fourth studio album, Wonder, a wide-open collection of sleek, moody, often sky-scraping pop tunes — at least one of which began in his dressing room at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center before a gig. Now, dropping an album in December is already a tacit embracing of the holiday spirit. But on December 7, Mendes went a step further, releasing the album’s deluxe edition mere days after its standard release. In addition to live and acoustic cuts, the new Wonder version boasts two brand-new songs: Mendes’s piano-led BBC cover of “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” as well as “The Christmas Song,” the standard yuletide tune that comes complete with chestnuts roasting on an open fire, featuring none other than C...

You Can Now Look Like a Dystopian Daft Punk With This Full-Face Modular Mask
We are inching closer and closer to real-life Black Mirror episodes.

Cyberpunk 2077’s Futuristic Score Isn’t Your Grandfather’s Dystopia
CD Projekt RED is in a bit of a unique situation when it comes to this week’s release of Cyberpunk 2077. On one hand, the game is sure to top sales charts, will be loved by millions of fans and is likely to be a critical favorite. On the other, it seems like even an absolutely flawless game wouldn’t be able to live up to the unprecedented amount of hype built behind the title since its initial announcement in 2012. The futuristic RPG’s great expectations are certainly deserved considering that CDPR’s last major project was The Witcher 3, which not only earned numerous awards (and considered as one of the best video games of all time) but also received a second boost in popularity due to the success of last year’s Netflix series. Years before its release, Cyberpunk 2077 was already a multi-...
