Lorde Escapes to the Beach on Solar Power

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 Enlists Fousheé for “Take Me Home” on ‘Fallon’

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. Where Staples held down the track’s fast-paced bars, Fousheé claimed prominence during the melodic chorus, closing out the performance on one final note that was subsequently met with applause. “Take Me Home” comes off Staples’s most recent self-titled fourth studio album, which he released in July. 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...
