Black Star Drop No Fear of Time, Their First Album in 24 Years: Stream
After 24 years away, Black Star have made a long-awaited comeback. The duo of Talib Kweli and Yasiin Bey (f.k.a. Mos Def) return today with No Fear of Time, their new album produced entirely by Madlib. It’s the follow-up to their 1998 classic Mos Def and Talib Kweli Are Black Star, and it’s streaming exclusively on the Luminary podcast network. Update: You can check out the lyric video for the album’s opening track, “o.G.” below. Black Star have teased their sophomore album for years; back in 2019, Kweli even said the record was finished. Last year, the duo launched their podcast The Midnight Miracle with their good friend Dave Chappelle. A recent episode called “Bugs Bunny Mathematicx,” takes the role of “audio liner notes to introduce the album,” as the podcast’s...
Tove Lo Dances the Pain Away on New Single “No One Dies from Love”: Stream
Tove Lo is back today with the new single “No One Dies from Love.” Co-written with her frequent collaborator Ludvig Söderberg, the sizzling dance floor anthem arrives with an eye-catching music video. Punctuated by staggering synths and a four-on-the-floor beat, “No One Dies from Love” harks back to lovelorn ballads of the ’80s, transported to 2022 with Lo’s knack for club-ready hooks. A definitive Sad Banger in the vein of Robyn’s “Dancing On My Own,” the track sees Lo mourn the departure of a dear partner: “No one dies from love/ Guess I’ll be the first,” she sings in the chorus. “When you’re with someone for a long time and it ends all of all sudden, it’s like a part of you has died,” Lo said in a press release. “This person is now a stranger to you. All of the memories are tainted. For...
First Look at The Umbrella Academy Season 3 Introduces the Sparrows
Netflix has offered up a first look at the upcoming Season 3 of The Umbrella Academy, giving fans a preview of the Sparrows, who will serve as the counterparts to the eponymous superhero team in the new timeline caused by their detour to 1963 in Season 2. The returning six heroes of the Umbrella Academy are Tom Hopper as Luther, David Castañeda as Diego, Emmy Raver-Lampman as Allison, Robert Sheehan as Klaus, Aidan Gallagher as Number Five, and Elliot Page’s rechristened character Viktor Hargreeves. In this alternate timeline, Umbrella Academy patriarch Sir Reginald Hargreeves (Colm Feore) is still alive, but he founded the Sparrow Academy instead. Not only that, but their formerly dead brother Ben (Justin H. Min) has no memory of the Umbrella Academy and instead is Sparrow Number Two...

The Sex Pistols Rage Against “Terribly Boring” England in Extended Pistol Trailer: Watch
“England’s terribly boring. Nothing ever changes,” a young punk bemoans in the extended trailer for Pistol, Danny Boyle’s upcoming Sex Pistols series. Enter Johnny Rotten and company, whose “I am an antichrist/ I am an anarchist” lyrics simultaneously pioneered punk rock and triggered a moral panic across their, uh, beloved UK. The new trailer for the FX series tracks the formation of the band, as Thomas Brodie-Sangster’s Malcom McLaren concocts the idea for a group based not on talent, but on pure spunk. “Whether you can play is not the criteria,” McLaren says. “It’s whether you’ve got something to say.” Of course, Sex Pistols fans know their whole anarchist ethos was more bad boy posturing than anything, so when someone asks Anson Boon’s Rotten (born John Lydon) what, in fact, ...
