<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-06-02T21:01:33+00:00“>June 2, 2021 | 5:01pm ET The rise of 11-year-old YouTube prodigy Nandi Bushell has been one of the most entertaining sensations of the pandemic. A multi-instrumentalist who plays drums, guitar, and sings, Bushell’s musicianship is always on point. She has covered heavy bands like Slipknot and Rage Against the Machine on her channel, showcasing a diverse taste in music and an acute talent for playing it. Often the musicians themselves will applaud the young UK phenom after she drops a new cover. Combined with a big smile and infectious laugh, Bushell’s skills have made her a viral phenomenon. So much so that she engaged in a headline-making drum battle with none...
Japanese Breakfast’s Michelle Zauner Survived Grief. Now She Can Do Anything
By Max Freedman Michelle Zauner is a low-key professional. When I reach her via video call on an April morning, she’s sporting a black tee emblazoned with Chester Cheetah (yes, the Cheetos mascot), but her Brooklyn apartment’s Zoom setup resembles a DJ booth at a well-funded radio station. She apologizes for the blanket jumbled across the plush-looking couch behind her, but the lemon-yellow walls and neatly arranged framed prints above it (both are visible in her Daily Show appearance) showcase a love of, if not a need for, order. It makes sense: Zauner must crave some sort of balance to live her double life as a musician and New York Times best-selling author. In late April, Zauner released Crying in H Mart, a heart-wrenching memoir about learning to cook Korean food staples as she lost h...
Billie Eilish Throws A Gossipy Pajama Party In ‘Lost Cause’ Video
Billie Eilish is back, blonde, and bringing fresh new tunes. On Wednesday (June 2), the 19-year-old pop star released the latest single off her forthcoming album Happier Than Ever, “Lost Cause.” The track is a low-key empowerment anthem in the vein of TLC’s “No Scrubs” or Dua Lipa’s “New Rules,” in which Eilish tells off a would-be partner who “ain’t nothing but a lost cause,” as the refrain asserts. “I know you think you’re such an outlaw / But you got no job,” she repeats in her signature whisper-like vocals over a slow-moving, jazz-tinged beat. “Lost Cause” dropped with a corresponding music video, where Eilish is joined in a Los Angeles mansion by a group of beige or blue sleepwear-clad backup dancers. The crew twerks on nightstands, eats Lay’s potato chips, and straddles a game of Twi...

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-06-02T15:33:27+00:00“>June 2, 2021 | 11:33am ET Denzel Curry has unveiled his contribution to the DC Comics crossover album Dark Nights: Death Metal Soundtrack. “Bad Luck” features his old pal PlayThatBoiZay, and finds Curry transformed into a twisted version of Batman, the likes of which the DC Universe has never seen before. (Warning: Spoilers ahead.) This new comic series journeys to Darkseid’s planet Apokolips, which in this universe is ruled by a Darkseid-Batman hybrid: The Darkfather. It’s this bizarre being that Curry set out to channel, and he does so with a chimera of metal and hip-hop, toggling between a demonic falsetto and a full-chested roar. “Bad luck, now you’re ...

It’s the latest preview of the Glasgow-based pop group’s upcoming fourth album, Screen Violence, which will be released on August 27th. Additionally, CHVRCHES have announced a North American tour taking place in November and December. On the haunting track, singer Lauren Mayberry trades verses with the British rock icon over crashing percussion and sinister synths. “Tell me how/ It’s better when the sun goes down/ We’ll never escape this town/ I wasn’t scared when he caught me/ Look what it taught me/ Tell me how/ It’s better if we mak...

This latest single finds Eilish showing off her smoky voice over a restrained track that offers little more than sly bass behind her. “You ain’t nothing but a lost causе,” she sings. “And this ain’t nothing like it once was/ I know you think you’re such an outlaw/ But you got no job.” The song comes with a music video directed by Eilish herself. It shows the pop star and some friends dancing across a king sized bed, gyrating in and out of walk-in closets and having a blast with silly string. Check it out below. Re...

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-06-01T19:04:51+00:00“>June 1, 2021 | 3:04pm ET Less than a week after launching his TikTok channel, Fernando Ufret has gone viral by covering popular songs as Cartman from South Park. His spot-on impression of the obnoxious cartoon character singing Green Day’s “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)” and Linkin Park’s “In the End” have each racked up hundreds of thousands of views in just a few days. Ufret launched his TikTok channel with a Cartman cover of Madonna’s “Material Girl”, but it was his second video, his Cartman rendition of Green Day’s “Good Riddance”, that really took off. As of this writing, it’s just shy of 1 million views, with the Linkin Park cover tallying more than 6...
