Phoebe Bridgers Shares Three Remixes of “Kyoto”
Phoebe Bridgers has unveiled three new remixes of her GRAMMY-nominated track, “Kyoto.” Glitch Gum, Bartees Strange and The Marias joined the artist for the “Kyoto” renditions, each of them handpicked by Bridgers herself. “All I know is one day, when I was in between Zoom classes last Fall, I thought, ‘Man, what if Phoebe Bridgers did hyperpop?’ That idea turned into a 30-second snippet of ‘Kyoto’, which turned into a full song, which turned into working with Phoebe and her team to make this little quarantine project come full circle in ways I could never even fathom,” Glitch Gum said of his remix. “It was so fun deconstructing the musical realms of both Phoebe and I and combining them into something that filled the hyperpop-indie-crossover-shaped hole in my brain. I am just really happy wi...

Director James Wan Says ‘Aquaman 2’ Is “Heavily Inspired” by 1960s Film ‘Planet of the Vampires’
James Wan has teased new details regarding the highly-anticipated upcoming Aquaman 2, revealing that the film takes great inspiration from the iconic 1965 film, Planet of the Vampires. The director is of course known for being at the helm of horror films like The Conjuring and Insidious. Recently, he spoke to TotalFilm saying, “Aquaman 2 is very heavily inspired by Planet Of The Vampires.

Wan added, “Well, the first movie took a lot of people by surprise, right? And that’s partial...

Daniel Craig Says Leaving His Multi-Million Dollar Movie Fortune to His Kids Is ‘Distasteful’
While Daniel Craig may be among the highest-paid men in Hollywood, the five-time James Bond actor has shared that he doesn’t plan on leaving the entirety of his wealth to his children. Speaking to the UK’s Candis Magazine, Craig revealed that he finds the concept an inheritance “quite distasteful.” “Isn’t there an old adage that if you die a rich person, you’ve failed?” he told the outlet, noting that industrialist Andrew Carnegie gave away most of his fortune before and after his death, equivalent to billions in today’s currency. “I don’t want to leave great sums to the next generation,” he told the outlet. “I think inheritance is quite distasteful. My philosophy is get rid of it or give it away before you go.” Craig will be the recipient of a paycheck of more than $100 million USD as a r...

Aaliyah’s One in a Million Finally Hits Streaming Services
25 years after its release, late R&B legend Aaliyah’s second studio album, One in a Million, has finally arrived on streaming services. Stream it via Apple Music or Spotify below. One in a Million saw Aaliyah linking up with producers like Timbaland and Missy Elliott to break away from the sound crafted by R. Kelly on her 1994 debut, Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number, and carve a unique lane in the R&B landscape. Slick Rick and Treach of Naughty by Nature contributed guest verses to the album. For years, most of Aaliyah’s catalog was in limbo because Barry Hankerson, her uncle and the co-founder of Blackground Records, wouldn’t license her music to streaming services or digital retailers. Prior to today, Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number was her only album available to str...
