MUSIC - Tigra and SPNCR have released their new EP Black Rice.

The five track project brings together Lady Tigra, best known as one half of the Miami bass group LTrimm, and producer and multi instrumentalist Spencer Nezey of Jupiter Rising. The EP features bass driven production, analog synth elements, and straightforward vocal delivery.

Alongside the release, the duo shared the official video for the single Shoot Your Shot.

Lady Tigra rose to prominence in the late 1980s as part of LTrimm, whose breakout hit Cars That Go Boom became a defining record of the Miami bass era. She later continued her career as a solo artist and cultural figure. Spencer Nezey is a founding member of Jupiter Rising and has worked across electronic, hip hop, and funk based projects as a producer and musician.

Black Rice tracklist
1. Do It Like This
2. Gimme
3. Guillotine
4. I’m Gonna
5. Shoot Your Shot

The EP is available now on all major streaming platforms.

MUSIC — Willa Ford is officially back. “Love4Life” is a euphoric new single that blends Y2K pop nostalgia with a fresh, modern edge.

Playful, confident, and emotionally grounded in all the right ways.
The track offers the first true glimpse of amanda, her first album in over two decades, arriving March 6. It’s a deeply personal project shaped by growth, resilience, and a renewed connection to music.

EXCLUSIVE: GoldLink on ten years of “And After That, We Didn’t Talk,” ENOCH, and what comes next.

I finally had the chance to speak with GoldLink for a focused interview that does exactly what I like most as an editor. I wanted to slow things down and let him explain his growth in his own words.

With the ten-year mark of “And After That, We Didn’t Talk” on November 6, and his recent Blue Note NYC shows, this felt like the right time to reintroduce him to parts of our growing audience and look at his growth as an artist overall.

Swipe left and learn a little more about GoldLink.

Save this, share it with another GoldLink fans, and drop your favorite GoldLink tracks below.

Special thanks for this interview to:

MUSIC — Robyn has announced her first new song in seven years, a single titled “Dopamine,” which will be released on Wednesday, November 12.

The news follows a cryptic Instagram Story in which she encouraged fans to “keep your eyes open.” Longtime collaborator Klas Åhlund recently revealed on a podcast that a new Robyn album is finished, adding to speculation about a broader comeback.

Robyn’s last studio album, Honey, came out in 2018, though she has remained active through collaborations with artists such as SG Lewis, Jónsi, Smile, Neneh Cherry, Jamie xx, and Yung Lean.

MUSIC — Miami-born singer, songwriter, and pop provocateur Robbie Elias is making waves with a sound that blends Latin pop, soul, and modern pop with a bold, personal edge.

Starting out as a songwriter for Latin stars like Chayanne and providing background vocals for legends such as Marc Anthony, Ricky Martin, Alejandro Sanz, and Don Omar, Robbie’s foundation in the music industry is as impressive as it is diverse.

In 2015, Robbie stepped into the spotlight as a solo artist with his mixtape Lies, and he hasn’t looked back. His discography, including standout tracks like Ghost of You, Ice Cream, and The One Who Hurts Me, showcases his ability to merge vintage pop influences from icons like George Michael, Queen, and Aretha Franklin with contemporary production and catchy hooks.

Recently, he paid tribute to one of his biggest inspirations by dropping a stunning cover of George Michael’s Careless Whisper, bringing his own soulful touch to the classic hit.

Beyond the music, Robbie is a proud LGBTQ+ artist using his platform to champion representation, inclusion, and authenticity in the industry. Early in his career, he faced advice to remain closeted to protect opportunities, but today he embraces his identity fully, inspiring fans to be unapologetically themselves.

Robbie’s career is also hitting exciting new milestones, he recently signed with Warner Chappell, a move that marks the next chapter in his growing influence as both a songwriter and performer. From Miami’s stages to international recognition, the world is listening, and this is only the beginning.

MUSIC — Nas just gave fans an update on his long-awaited joint album with DJ Premier and it sounds like history in the making.

Speaking with Rolling Stone, Nas revealed the project will include some of the songs they first cooked up years ago. “It’s a long time coming,” he said. “We finally got a chance to put those recordings together this year.”

The untitled album is part of Mass Appeal’s Legend Has It… series, celebrating NYC hip-hop icons like Slick Rick, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, and more. With new releases from Mobb Deep, Big L, and De La Soul on the way, Nas says it feels like “1995 all over again”, just elevated for 2025.

“It’s a celebration of the pureness of hip-hop,” he added.

CULTURE — After taking over the pop world with Brat, Charli XCX is stepping into a whole new realm: FILM.

Her upcoming A24 project, "The Moment", arrives in 2026 and already feels like it’s going to be a total neon-soaked fever dream.

The film follows a rising pop star preparing for her first arena tour, navigating all the chaos, pressure, and loneliness that come with fame. Early trailers hint at a tense, psychological dive into the highs and lows of life in the spotlight. Think "Hurry Up Tomorrow", but through Charli’s wild, ultra-stylized lens.

"The Moment" is coming from Charli’s Studio365 and indie powerhouse A24, directed by Aidan Zamiri (known for his insane visuals for Charli, FKA twigs, and Yung Lean) and co-written with Bertie Brandes. Zamiri’s music video background promises something as visually daring as it is emotionally intense.

And the cast? Pure chaos, in the best way. Charli leads, joined by Hollywood legends Rosanna Arquette and Alexander Skarsgård, alt-comedy favorites Kate Berlant and Rachel Sennott, plus Charli’s musical collaborators Shygirl and A.G. Cook (who’s also scoring the film). The announcement video alone was a trip! Flashing neon inspired by Enter The Void and soundtracked by a remix of Icona Pop’s “I Don’t Care” featuring Charli.

Basically, its pop star drama meets art-house cinema, and we cannot wait. Think pop, pressure, neon, and total art-school fever dream.

based on an original idea by charli xcx.
The moment. coming 2026.

MUSIC — Some artists you stumble across by accident, and they completely stop you in your tracks. That was Rochelle Jordan for me.

I came across her during one of my many death scrolls on TikTok, half awake, half zoned out, and suddenly there she was. The sound, the look, the vibe. It was instant. Her voice felt like it was floating just above the beat, smooth and hypnotic, but with this quiet kind of power that pulls you in before you even realize it.

From that one clip, I dove straight into her world, and wow, her new album Through the Wall is something special. It’s the kind of record that feels like a mood you’ve been missing. A mix of R&B warmth and late-night house energy, polished to perfection but never too loud about it. Every track feels intentional, like she knows exactly when to let go and when to hold back.

There’s something magnetic about her presence — the control, the calm, the elegance. She doesn’t have to do too much because the music does all the talking. Songs like “Crave,” “Sweet Sensation,” and “Bite the Bait” have been on loop nonstop, for me.

It’s rare to find an artist who sounds both futuristic and familiar, like she’s pulling from the past but creating something totally her own. Rochelle Jordan is that. A sound that feels timeless, cool, and completely effortless.

So yeah, shoutout to for leading me to her. And shoutout to Rochelle for reminding me that discovery can still feel magical.

STYLE - Kim Kardashian just dropped one of her biggest style curveballs yet. A pixie cut so iconic it’s giving her mother’s signature look. Arriving at Paris Fashion Week, she stepped into Maison Alaïa and Margiela with a jet-black “Paris Pixie” that tapped into Kris Jenner energy while keeping it Kim.

The cut is sleek and tapered, with soft wispy bangs over the forehead. The styling by longtime hairstylist Chris Appleton leaned into classic Parisian chic, letting the chop frame her face like a modern portrait.

But she didn’t stop at hair. Off her feed today, she’s been posting fitting shots that feel immaculate , each look carefully curated, each angle thought through. It’s clear she’s using style as a statement again.

Kim’s move reminds us of her power as a chameleon in fashion.

MUSIC — Foo Fighters Drop Surprise Live EP for Charity

Foo Fighters have surprise-released a new live EP, Are Playing Where ???? Vol. 1, exclusively on Bandcamp.

The project was recorded during the band’s run of secret club shows this past September in San Luis Obispo, Santa Ana, Washington, D.C., and New Haven. Proceeds from the release will benefit local organizations fighting food insecurity in each of those cities.

The EP arrives as the group continues to navigate its next chapter following the passing of longtime drummer Taylor Hawkins in 2022. Their 2023 album But Here We Are was the first without Hawkins. Since then, drummer Josh Freese has departed to rejoin Nine Inch Nails, with Ilan Rubin stepping in as Foo Fighters’ new percussionist.

Alongside the EP, the band recently shared a cover of Minor Threat’s “I Don’t Wanna Hear It” and their first new original track since But Here We Are, titled “Today’s Song.”

MUSIC — at 27, she’s coming into full clarity, not just as a performer who delivers pop hits, but as an artist who lives in every lyric she writes. This album is her claiming space. She co-wrote every song, worked with collaborators she connects with (MNEK, Margo XS, Helena Gao, Zhone), and leaned into her Swedish roots in a way that finally feels authentic.

Musically, 'Midnight Sun' is a vibrant blend. Want to dance? She’s got trance, euro-dance, Brazilian funk, rave-influenced cuts. Want to reflect? Tracks like “Saturn’s Return” and “The Ambition” dive into self-doubt, growing up, and figuring out where ambition ends and identity begins.

It’s not perfect. Some songs lean into familiar pop structures, and at times the polish feels so pristine you wonder if some raw edges got smoothed over too much. But those moments of tension, when she’s letting the mess in, when she’s embracing vulnerability, those are the highlights. They make the album feel lived in.

Overall, this album is a statement: Zara isn’t just chasing hits anymore. 'Midnight Sun' is about becoming. It’s catchier, brighter, and more self-aware. If you ride Zara’s wave here, you’ll leave feeling seen, energized, and maybe a little more hopeful.
