What the fuck are perfect places, anyway? Those were the biting last words, the closing lyrics to Lorde’s Melodrama — an album that magnificently captured the blissful madness of being 20 years old: liquor-soaked limes and parties ‘til dawn; identity crises and cataclysmic breakups. That record, released in 2017, was addictively urgent, a work of social malcontent that furthered the disillusion of “Royals,” her world-beating breakthrough smash. Back in 2013, artists like Dave Grohl were welcoming then-16-year-old Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O’Connor to “the Nirvana aesthetic.” But now the alt-pop superstar has receded to her personal paradise, a serene beach where the singer can lay out, read her horoscope, listen to Celine Dion and be left the hell alone — turns out her perfect place had noth...
Vince Staples dropped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday evening to perform “Take Me Home” with R&B up-and-comer Fousheé. Cast under a moody blue light, the duo sat back-to-back on a rotating circular stage that turned in tandem with each artist’s verses.

Earlier this month, the rapper dropped a Pokémon-inspired track, dubbed “Got ‘Em,” in celebration of the franchise’s 25th anniversary. “I’ve always been a fan of Pokémon, so it was particularly special to be a...
