Why The Half Of It‘s Leah Lewis Will Never Stop Growing Up
By Crystal Bell Less than a minute into our conversation, Leah Lewis tells me how she’s been taking care of herself — “mentally and physically” — while quarantining in her Los Angeles home. It’s late April, and the usually benign question of “how are you doing?” is now a loaded phrase that means, in essence, “how are you coping?” The 23-year-old star of The Half of It assures me she’s been eating a lot (she and her boyfriend challenge each other to cook-offs in the kitchen), reading a lot (she’s currently in the middle of Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood), calling a lot (she talks to her best friend and co-star Alexxis Lemire at least “five times a day”), and painting her toenails a lot. She journals every day, a ho...
Wiz Khalifa and MAX Join Yung Bae’s Future Funk Hit “Bad Boy”
Yung Bae‘s breakthrough hit “Bad Boy” just received a shot of adrenaline straight to the dome. The original single, which featured Marchiafava and bbno$, went viral after its summer 2019 release, climbing to #1 on Spotify’s “Internet People” playlist and becoming a big hit on TikTok. Nearly a year later, Yung Bae has recruited Wiz Khalifa and MAX to join in on his future funk tour de force. The 2020 version of “Bad Boy” bounces along to the same disco-inspired sound palette that helped the original soar to prominence while adding the renowned hip-hop flavors of none other than Wiz. The Grammy and Golden Globe nominated artist infuses his signature flow into the tune, which has an innately kinetic rhythm that oozes the kaleidoscopic u...
Boys Noize Drops Kaleidoscopic, Disco-Inspired House Jam “Mvinline”
Boys Noize today offered up a serendipitous surprise to his fans in the form of a funky new single called “Mvinline,” which was released by fabled house music imprint Defected Records. The track, which samples Black Ivory’s 1979 disco single “Mainline,” represents a stark contrast to Boys Noize’s STRICTLY BVNKER EP, which he released earlier in the month of May. That project was a nod to his darker, warehouse-themed sound, representing a sharp juxtaposition to the kaleidoscopic, disco-inspired flavors of “Mvinline.” However, “Mvinline” still holds the raw and technically pristine house production of a signature Boys Noize tune, which Defected has carefully curated and shrewdly imbued into their brand over the years. “I...
Diplo Drops Full-Length Country Album “Diplo Presents Thomas Wesley Chapter 1: Snake Oil”
Love him or hate him, Diplo knows how to make hits. With the infusion of country music into the mainstream, led by acts like Lil Nas X and Kacey Musgraves, the business savvy producer saw his opportunity to strike, throwing on his bedazzled cowboy hat and introducing Thomas Wesley (his country alter-ego) to the world. We first got a taste of the new side project with his remix of “Old Town Road,” which he played during his Stagecoach debut for the festival’s first-ever “Late Night” dance party. Diplo is now back to unveil the project in full, dropping a 12-track album titled Diplo Presents Thomas Wesley Chapter 1: Snake Oil. Diplo brought out some of country music’s biggest stars for the record, including Orville Peck, Cam, Morgan Wa...

Kansas City Music Festival Approved to Take Place in September
From Governors Ball to Coachella, most big-time music festivals called off or postponed their 2020 festivities due to social-distancing regulations and experts’ beliefs that concerts won’t return until fall 2021.

The ninth-annual music and camping festival — set to be headlined by Zeds Dead, GRiZ and REZZ — announced it still plans to open its gates from Sept. 10-13. The festival shared the announcement on Facebook and Twitter on Thursday, stating that “state and county guidance enables a #FULLSEND to Dancefestopia 2020.

Taylor Swift Eviscerates Trump for “Stoking the Fires of White Supremacy and Racism”
Last year, Taylor Swift vowed to be more politically active, especially during the 2020 Election cycle. Keeping her promise, the pop megastar has just eviscerated Donald Trump in her very first public tweet to mention him by name. “After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence?” she wrote on Twitter on Friday. “‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’??? “We will vote you out in November. @realdonaldtrump” After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? ‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’???
