Grimes Says She Trolled Paparazzi by Staging Photo of Herself Reading Karl Marx
Last week, the art-pop singer released a new song titled “Love” that addresses her feelings about the heightened media scrutiny surrounding her personal life and directly called out members of the paparazzi who’ve reportedly harassed her. “I wrote and produced this song this week in response to all the privacy invasion, bad press, online hate and harassment by paparazzis I’ve experienced this week,” she wrote on Instagram. In late September, Musk confirmed he and Grimes had broken up after dating for three years in a statement to Page Six, and explained what their co-parenting strategies are like with their 1-year-old son, X Æ A-12. “We are semi-separated but still love each other, see each other frequently and are on great terms,” M...
Grimes Trolls Paparazzi with Karl Marx Photoshoot
Grimes sought to troll paparazzi by staging photographs “that would yield the most onion-ish possible headline.” The result is an absolutely epic headline from the New York Post: “Grimes seen reading Karl Marx following split from world’s richest man Elon Musk.” In an Instagram post, Grimes offered further context: “I was really stressed when paparazzi wouldn’t stop following me this wk but then I realized it was opportunity to troll .. i swear this headline omg wtf haha im dead.” Grimes went on to confirm, “I am not a communist(although there are some very smart ideas in this book -but personally I’m more interested in a radical decentralized ubi that I think could potentially be achieved thru crypto and gaming but I haven’t ironed that idea out enough yet to explain it.

Britney Spears Says She Has ‘A Lot of Healing to Do’ After Dad’s Suspension as Her Conservator
Earlier in the week, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny agreed with a petition from Spears and her attorney that Jamie Spears needed to give up his role as conservator. The decision comes months after the 39-year-old singer pleaded for her father’s removal in dramatic court hearings. Spears has been actively celebrating the decision on social media, recently sharing NSFW photos from a tropical vacation with her fiancé Sam Asghari. On Thursday, she took to Instagram to share a series of posts, including videos and photos of her topless or fully nude on her beach vacation. “A beautiful day here in paradise celebrating!!!!!!” Britney captioned a video set to Prince and the New Power Generation’s sexy 1991 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit “Cream.” In the cli...
This Is What Harry Styles’ ‘Watermelon Sugar’ Is About
Styles shared that “Watermelon Sugar” tidbit while starting to sing the Grammy-winning, chart-topping track from Fine Line with the audience’s help. “Watermelon Sugar” hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2020, becoming Styles’ first song to do so. Previously, when asked about the song’s sensual undertones — Apple Music’s Zane Lowe once made a reference to “the joys of mutually appreciated oral pleasure” — Styles had simply responded, “Is that what it’s about? I don’t know.” His rescheduled Love on Tour trek has been one brimming with live music and memorable moments — like the time he helped a pregnant fan reveal the sex of her baby in front of the crowd earlier this week, and the time h...

Jesy Nelson’s solo era is coming soon. The former Little Mix member took to Instagram on Friday (Oct. 1) to reveal that her first single as a solo artist — “Boyz,” featuring Nicki Minaj — will arrive on all music streaming platforms Oct. 8. The 30-year-old artist shared the news by dropping the single’s cover art, which features both her and Minaj in black-and-white ensembles — the singer in a black bralette, white basketball shorts, Bathing Ape low top sneakers and Chanel necklaces; the “Chun-Li” rapper in a white sherpa vest, black sherpa booties, bauble rings and a Chanel bangle. The ex-girl group member first announced the collaboration between her and Minaj on Sept. 28, by teasing fans with a behind-the-scenes snippet of her f...
Song of the Week: Kali Uchis and SZA Sizzle with “Fue Mejor”
Song of the Week breaks down and talks about the song we just can’t get out of our head each week. Find these songs and more on our Spotify Top Songs playlist. For our favorite new songs from emerging artists, check out our Spotify New Sounds playlist. This week, Kali Uchis turns up the heat with SZA’s Spanish-language debut. Steamy and dreamy: two words that have long applied to SZA’s discography, and that certainly apply to her latest collaboration with Grammy-winning Latin artist Kali Uchis. “Fue Mejor” is sad and sultry, grooving over a throbbing beat that wouldn’t sound out of place in any of SZA’s albums. The airy, whistle-toned background vocals are offset by the sound of a revving engine, grounding the fantastical atmosphere. Notably, SZA sings in Spanish alongside Kali Uchis while...

The foursome later take the festivitie...

Katy B Announces New EP Peace and Offerings, Shares “Open Wound”: Stream
Back in August, Katy B released “Under My Skin,” her first new music in five years, and today, she’s confirmed a full-fledged comeback. The electro-pop artist has announced a new EP called Peace and Offerings, due out October 29th. As another preview, Katy B has shared the single “Open Wound,” which features R&B singer Jaz Karis. While she staked her claim in the UK’s electronic scene with glossy, heavy production in the 2010s, Peace and Offerings takes a chill pill, instead recalling wine nights at home with close friends. With her usual night-out settings on pause, Katy was able to take a more introspective route: “The ‘Peace’ is me taking myself away and having peace of mind and the ‘Offerings’ are the songs, the parts of myself I’m giving away,” she said in a statement. “...
BTS Scores First Rock Airplay Charts Appearance With Coldplay Collab ‘My Universe’
On Alternative Airplay, it’s Coldplay’s 29th entry and follows the No. 4-peaking “Higher Power” in June. Meanwhile, on Rock & Alternative Airplay, the song bows with 925,000 audience impressions, according to MRC Data. “My Universe” starts on both lists despite just three days of airplay toward the charts, having been released Sept. 24 (the tracking week for airplay tallies ended Sept. 26). Further gains are likely on the Oct. 9-dated Billboard charts, where “My Universe” could see a high debut on the streaming-, airplay- and sales-based Billboard Hot 100.

Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga Release New Collaborative Album Love For Sale: Stream
Powerhouse music duo Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga have just released their new collaborative album Love For Sale. Stream it below via Apple Music or Spotify. Love For Sale serves as the follow-up to 2014’s Cheek to Cheek, which won the Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Record. This new album spans 10 songs in total that were pulled from the songbook of American composer Cole Porter. While they’re certainly not close in age by any measure, Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga are both pop legends in their own rights — one for his contributions to the world of classy jazz standards, and the other for her reworking of modern pop as a bold art form. Combined, their talents form a charming, timeless, generation-spanning type of music that will win over you, your mom, and your grandmother, as was the cas...
