A Day in the Life of…Tommy Newport

Born in Manchester, England and raised in Wichita, Kansas, Tommy Newport began playing guitar as an escape from teenage boredom. His new EP Ultra Mango offers six varied tracks, all coming together to tell a lighthearted story of wistful youth. A follow-up to his 2018 debut Just Be Ironic, Ultra Mango’s a surprisingly deep and soulful experience with a distinctive far-out, retro feel. Producer 4th Pyramid explains: “The idea here was to take that DIY basement nostalgia feel and make records that knock as hard as today’s biggest smashes. We’ve been able to carve out our own planet with Ultra Mango.”  They’ve succeeded. And we love it.  Tommy’s music has already been featured on a number of TV shows, like HBO’s Ballers, Netflix’s original series What/If, TBS’ Search Party, Amy...

Khalid’s Music Video for ‘New Normal’ Is a Glimpse Into a Not-So-Distant Future

Khalid released a music video to accompany his new single “New Normal,” giving viewers a glimpse into a not-so-distant future filled with impressive technology. In the video, Khalid shows off a thriving metropolis filled with technological advancements, like self-driving cars and drone delivery systems. Inside his home, a Sony PlayStation 5 waters his plants while a swarm of delivery robots huddle on the sidewalk. The end of the video sees Khalid opening up his blinds to see a billboard advertising a flight to space in 90 minutes alongside a phone number and an accompanying text that says “Volunteers wanted.” Calling the real-life number plays a recording of what appears to be a fake space company called “K Corp,” which is advertising a volunteer program for space exploration. The 23-year-...

Jonas Brothers Destroy Iconic Olivia Rodrigo, Harry Styles Songs On The Tonight Show

The Jonas Brothers performed different covers under various comedic voice impressions in Jimmy Fallon’s Sing It Like challenge on Monday (July 20). On The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the host kicked off the hilarious game by doing a cover of Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know,” but singing it “like you just got the rubber bands on your braces tightened.” Joe performed Harry Styles’s “Watermelon Sugar,” singing like he was walking across hot coals and hitting high notes as if he was in pain. Nick then sang Olivia Rodrigo’s “Good 4 U” but as if he got his tongue pierced, so he was barely comprehensible. Lastly, Kevin sang Creed’s “With Arms Wide Open” as if he was trying to communicate a secret message with his eyes in a really deep voice. The brothers concluded the ch...

Lorde Reflects On Life While ‘Stoned At The Nail Salon’

Lorde has sunk into very deep thoughts right now. On Tuesday (July 21), the New Zealand singer dropped “Stoned at the Nail Salon,” the second but very self-reflective single for her upcoming album Solar Power. Unlike her previous single’s bright disposition, “Stoned at the Nail Salon” has a more mellow atmosphere, musing about the concept of how people grow and evolve at different points of their lives. “Well, my hot blood’s been burning for so many summers now / It’s time to cool it down, wherever that leads,” Lorde sings. She reminds us that eventually time wins every battle: “‘Cause all the beautiful girls, they will fade like the roses.” Lorde also sings about how there comes a time when you move on from reckless activities: “Got a memory of waiting in your bed wearing...

Samsung Is Ahead of The Curve In The Foldable Market Thanks To The Galaxy Z Fold2 & Galaxy Z Flip

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 Samsung took a very bold step when it went all-in on the foldable phone, dropping three devices, and slowly but surely, it’s starting to pay off. When Samsung first introduced its bold new device, the Galaxy Fold, in 2019, people were impressed but on the side of skepticism and understandably so. The first Galaxy Fold served as Samsung’s testing phase for a phablet (phone/tablet) and a teachable moment. While it was impressive that Samsung could bring the Galaxy Fold to fruition, there were some issues that the company rectified with the Galaxy Z Fold2 and its smaller companion, the Galaxy Z Flip. Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 Ahead of the company’s upcoming Unpacked event, we finally got our hands on both dev...
