Another Friday, another excuse to refresh your queue. This week’s Weekend Playlist is anchored by British riser Bettina BCB, whose new single “Messy Girl” is built for feral nights and unapologetic chaos. But she’s not alone — from KJ Apa’s alter ego to CMAT’s Irish heartbreak, Sabrina Carpenter’s inevitable domination, and a surprise Eminem drop, […]
Last month, Brooklyn-based alt-indie pop artist JULESY announced her debut full-length album, Flip the Bed, out October 17 via Strong Place Music. With sharp, evocative vocals and confessional songwriting, JULESY has drawn comparisons to Soccer Mommy and Snail Mail. She’s quickly emerging as a compelling new voice in NYC’s vibrant music scene, blending dreamy folk-pop textures with raw punk energy. […]
Lips of Strangers, the New Jersey-based indie dream-pop outfit, are back with their second release of 2025: the announcement of their sophomore EP, Too Long For Lovers. Though newly formed, the band’s members are no strangers to the stage—having toured with acts like Hot Chip, French Horn Rebellion, Pink Flamingo Rhythm Review, and Ra Ra Riot. The five-track EP […]
I still remember the buzz that followed Euphoria’s debut back in 2019. What a time that was. Sunday nights were a literal ritual. Twitter lit up with theories, memes, and fan edits. Zendaya, drenched in glitter and tears, embodied each and every aching, spiraling feeling of adolescence. At its best, Euphoria captured something raw and […]
Spring is in the air, and while the days are getting longer and the weather is finally turning around, let’s be honest—there’s still nothing quite like a good binge-watch session. Whether you’re still recovering from the emotionally devastating (but visually stunning) finale of Shōgun, trying to make sense of the latest betrayal on The Traitors, […]
In the words of Sabrina Carpenter, “I’m a busy woman.” And nothing gets me through the day like an exquisitely curated playlist. And during this Women’s History Month, my playlists are full of anthems by the girls and for the girls. Over the past few weeks, I’m not the only one getting inspired by girly […]
If you had to pick between Addison Rae and Millie Bobby Brown, who would you rather see as Britney Spears in a biopic? And fans wanna know the dirt! Since rising to superstardom in the late 90s, Britney’s legendary life has been riddled with highs and lows. From a messy public breakup with Justin Timberlake […]
Black History Month 2025 is here! Some folks in America aren’t interested in celebrating since everything is so incredibly divisive these days. But honoring this incredible month is still the move for those of us who care about morals, equality, and being on the right side of history. The purpose of Black History Month is […]
What makes certain music “timeless”? It comes down to whether the music is still listened to and appreciated decades later. Some albums that were dropped in the year 2000 were quickly forgotten and swept under the rug. But there are tons of 2000 albums that people still love over two decades later. These albums are […]
Well, the 2025 Grammys have come and gone. And yes, there were plenty of golden moments (Beyoncé probably added another wing to her Grammy Mansion). But we need to talk about the shocking, Twitter-exploding (X-exploding doesn’t sound as potent) SNUBS. Every year, the Recording Academy reminds us that predicting winners is about as reliable as […]
