New music video

FKA Twigs embraces a classic throwback aesthetic in the new music video for “Jealousy,” a track featuring Rema off her recent mixtape, Caprisongs . The video, directed by Aidan Zamiri, has a late-Eighties/early-Nineties feel, jumping between sequences of FKA Twigs performing the song and dancing alongside a small troupe, and black-and-white footage of Rema delivering his verse solo. The choreography in the clip was handled by Twigs’ regular collaborator, Kash Powell. “Jealousy” is the latest Caprisongs track FKA Twigs has released a music video for, following “Meta Angel” and “Tears in the Club,” her collaboration with the Weeknd. Caprisongs was released Jan. 14 and marked FKA Twigs’ first project since her celebrated 2019 album, Magdalene .

After teasing her new song “Shinigami Eyes” on social media, Grimes has dropped the new video for her latest single. As Grimes told Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe in an interview that accompanied the song’s premiere, “Shinigami Eyes” was a “label executive decision song” — “Sorry. I’m just undermining the marketing strategy,” she quipped — that didn’t fit into the “space opera” narrative of her next project, a planned double album. “I actually do really like the song,” she added. The song “Shinigami Eyes” was inspired by the cult Japanese anime and film Death Note — the song’s title is a reference to the blood-red eyes in that story — about a high school student who discovers a magical book that allows him to kill anyone whose name he writes on the pages; the Brthr-directed video doesn’t adhere too closely to the source material, but it does features Blackpink’s Jennie. “Shinigami Eyes” follows Grimes’ Dec. 2021 single “ Player of Games “; it’s unclear if either single will … [Read more...] about Grimes Is a Red-Eyed Warrior Elf in ‘Shinigami Eyes’ Video

“We’re the cavemen of metal,” Obituary drummer Donald Tardy proudly tells Rolling Stone . “There’s no two ways around it.” Tardy’s older brother John, the band’s vocalist, agrees. Although Obituary may be world renowned as pioneers of death metal, he’s wary of people who file them under corny, pedantic subgenres. “It’s one of those things that bothers me a little bit, how it just gets so separated,” says John in his prominent Florida twang. “For a while, almost every band that came out that maybe sounded a little bit different: ‘Oh, that’s a different kind of metal.’ [Obituary] definitely go into a heavy-metal category, but for me, it can kind of just stop there, and whether you want to call it nine different things, it goes back to the roots, the Black Sabbaths of the world that just go back to basic blues.” For more than 30 years, Obituary have operated as one of the most consistent bands in their scene, while at the same time opting out of the arms race that has consumed … [Read more...] about Obituary Talk Three-Decade Quest for the Perfect ‘Meat-and-Potatoes’ Groove

It’s not glamorous, but it’s true: The modern music industry is largely tethered to what’s dubbed “research,” steady feeds of real-time data from streaming services and social media platforms that labels believe will predict the next star. But interest in underscores, a 21-year-old singer-songwriter-producer, was driven more by old-fashioned word-of-mouth. When they released fishmonger last March, it generated waves of interest in seemingly disparate corners of the music industry, like a rock thrown into a serene lake. Lido, a Norwegian producer with a long list of high-profile credits that includes Halsey, Mariah Carey, and Jaden Smith, was instantly taken with the album. “He sent [ fishmonger ] to me the day it came out,” says Dorothy Caccavale of ATC Management. The producer was gushing: “‘They have this insane production style. I need to meet this kid.'” Daniel Awad, who manages Oliver Tree and Whethan, among others, was similarly obsessed with fishmonger … [Read more...] about ‘Let’s Make Producer Porn’: Dubstep Renegade Underscores Is Soundtracking the Apocalpyse

Musical savant, fashion maven, provocateur, philanthropist. When multi-hyphenate Lady Gaga first added ‘leading actress’ to the list with 2018’s A Star is Born , she was Oscar-nominated. Now, she’s back with House of Gucci . Can Ridley Scott’s film cement her path as a major movie player? Antonia Blyth meets Gaga to dig into the real story behind the star. In the Ridley Scott-directed House of Gucci , Lady Gaga plays Patrizia Reggiani, the notorious ‘black widow’ who had her husband Maurizio Gucci murdered. And much has been made of Gaga’s deep dive into Patrizia—the nine months spent speaking in her accent, the ‘cloud of black flies’ she felt followed her on set, the granular research she put in—but as a conceptual artist who has always created a 360-degree experience with her music and its videos, and with a personal style that transcends trends and leans towards performance art, could there be any other way than actually living as Patrizia? Certainly, everything Gaga … [Read more...] about How Lady Gaga Made Peace With Her Personal Demons To Play The “Black Widow” In ‘House Of Gucci’

Celebrity blogger Latasha Kebe made a rambling and defiant live address on YouTube Wednesday, vowing to go all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court to appeal the new $4 million jury verdict reached Monday that found her liable for defaming Cardi B . “These last four years fighting this conspiracy case have been extremely challenging, and yet I wouldn’t change a single thing about any of it. I’ve learned so much,” Kebe, also known as Tasha K, claimed as more than 29,000 viewers tuned in to watch her evening address on her UnWineWithTashaK channel. Staring into the camera, Kebe bizarrely claimed she was the true victim in the case, not the rapper she falsely and repeatedly claimed had herpes and worked as a prostitute. Without ever identifying Cardi by name, Kebe alleged that a “machine” driven by “corporate interests” including “prostitution, drug use, promiscuity,” and the “glorification” of violence, had “tried to squeeze us for everything.” “This case was meant to drain me … [Read more...] about Cardi B Defamer Tasha K Still Defiant Despite $4 Million Lawsuit Loss: ‘This Is Just the Beginning’
