Adele’s 9 Funniest One-Liners & Banter at Las Vegas Residency Opening Night

It’s no secret that Adele has one of the most respected voices in music and can write a heartbreaking ballad with the best of them. But what music fans only aware of her chart-topping hits from the radio might not know is just how hysterical she is. At opening night of her new Weekends With Adele residency in Las Vegas, there were countless moments of Adele’s brilliantly bawdy sense of humor, with the F-bombs flying freely as she briskly bantered with the crowd between songs in the Colosseum at Caesars Palace. In Billboard’s seven best moments from the show, we highlighted one such moment when she hilariously focused on her love for a certain AMC show. “I’ve got a lot to tell you. It’s a bloody massive week for me, this week,” she said. “It’s the Walking Dead finale on Sunday! Do we have a...

DJ and Producer Cosmicat Opens Up About Her Journey and Saudi Arabia’s Music Scene

On this episode of HYPEBEAST Diaries, we explore Saudi Arabia’s burgeoning music scene through the lens of DJ and producer Cosmicat of MDLBEAST Records. Her name is derived from two passions: “I love astronomy. I love cats,” she continues. “They give me really good energy. They walk all over my desktop and could accidentally hit a cool key.” During her formative years, she found an escape through music, and lyrics became her voice for the times when she felt she didn’t have the words to articulate. “Growing up, when I had nothing or no one to talk to and express [myself], I’d turn to my cassette tapes,” she explains. Prior to the transformation of electronic music from an underground scene to being widely accepted publicly, she says, “There was no art school in Saudi. If you wanted to beco...

Paper Idol’s Debut Album Is a Nostalgic Ode to Childhood: Listen to “The Playground”

Blending dance music and indie-pop to stunning effect, Paper Idol has dropped his debut album, The Playground. Out now via CloudKid, The Playground chronicles the many phases of childhood through eight funky and nostalgic indietronica tracks. “It’s Boyhood the album,” Idol said in a statement. From the grungy guitar riffs of “CNTRL” and the vintage children’s choir in “The Playground” to the cheeky future-funk synths of “Bright Side Baby,” the album takes us through a raw—and electrifying—coming-of-age. “The Playground is about missing the purity of childhood,” Idol added. “It’s so easy to get caught up in status, envy, competition, desire to compare yourself to others. But we often forget there was a time when we were just ‘being,’ soaki...

The Glitch Mob Reconnect With Early Rave Influences On Fourth Album, “CTRL ALT REALITY”

With their fourth studio album, CTRL ALT REALITY, The Glitch Mob are resetting expectations.  The tenured electronic trio have always been very deliberate with their creative output. So when they returned with the announcement of their first album since 2018’s See Without Eyes,  there was an immediate interest in how their latest chapter would unfold.  The band spurred even more intrigue when they offered up a rather conceptual creative thesis. “This next chapter in our artistry is intended to get back to the music, the movement, the dance, the connection of body & sound,” the group tweeted in September. “We are here to provide an audio experience you feel deep in your soul.” As with their prior long-form projects, it’s apparent that t...

Eric Prydz Teases 2023 HOLO Tour

Eric Prydz has slyly teased that a massive 2023 tour is likely on the horizon.  Back in September, Prydz’ world-famous HOLO show series was announced as part of Ultra Music Festival’s 2023 lineup. Even on a stacked lineup with Carl Cox, Hardwell and other electronic music greats, it was an immediate standout on the bill.  While it was the subject of much interest at the time, it seems the Ultra announcement was just the tip of the iceberg for something even bigger: a 2023 HOLO tour. Prydz stopped short of divulging all the details, but he gave enough of a teaser on Twitter to spark some excitement. For those unfamiliar with Prydz’s HOLO, it is widely regarded as one of the most—if not the most—visually stunning and forward-thinking touring shows. The jaw-droppin...
