Rihanna was spotted out in New York wearing a rust-hued Chloé velour tracksuit ($1,250 jacket and $990 Pants) , complete with the brand’s signature logo detailing on the jacket and pants. She finished the look with a crocodile-embossed Fendi tote and a pair of Louis Vuitton tinted aviator sunglasses. The oversized, relaxed silhouette leaned into
When Belgian singer-songwriter and multidisciplinary artist Camille Willemart, alias Camille Camille, sings over a fingerpicked acoustic guitar, you feel as if memories are holding onto you or you’re holding onto them. Inescapable either way. She’s an arresting folk artist—more than that, though, her songs are fey lullabies as if plucked from some forgotten century or
Renoir is a courageous film. Courageous because it is deeply personal. It is not a film that tries to seem radical all the time, nor one that calls attention to its own form as if that were enough. The courage seems to come from facing a memory that is too intimate, almost uncomfortable in its
By Anila Bukhari At fifteen, Renée Ambarees injured her back during what would become twenty-two years of competitive sport. She learned to override the signal. Push through. Perform anyway. Keep going. It would take her decades to understand what her body already knew: the truth does not wait for the conscious mind to be ready.
From Venezuela to Hungary to New York City, Leanna Finol is emerging as one of the entertainment world’s most dynamic multilingual performers—blending music, musical theatre, film, television, and an unmistakably international point of view.

With her full-length debut, 2020’s Forever Blue, and 2022’s elegant follow-up, As the Moon Rests, A.A. Williams explored the intersection of doom rock and dream pop, integrating exquisite dread and compelling fragility. With her covers album, Songs From Isolation, released in 2021 during the COVID era, she paid tribute to a variety of songs—from the
While on Martha’s Vineyard, I attended Hyatt’s event honoring 80 years of one of the island’s most storied traditions: the Polar Bears. Formed in 1946 by a group of African American seasonal residents who wanted to exercise together in the water, the Polar Bears have provided 80 years of physical fitness and fellowship at Inkwell

There was a time when live albums felt dangerous. Not polished. Not corrected by committee. Dangerous. You could hear the room breathing. You could hear amplifiers misbehaving and drummers pushing a little too hard. Sometimes the singer missed a note. Sometimes the singer found one nobody knew existed until that exact second. A live record
You ask, we answer! @theeradiance asked, “Dress is fiyah!!! Yall know who made it?” Claressa Shields answered the call in a full look from Akira while attending fight night at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The boxer wore the brand’s $79.90 Just A Feeling Rhinestone Tee, a sheer black crop top covered in crystal mesh,
As you might guess from the title, author Kit Rosewater’s latest young adult book, Buried Feelings, was inspired by treasure hunts. It’s a fascinating and compelling story about where and how treasure hunting intersects with queer history and queer community. Rosewater’s inspiration came from a book she was obsessed with as a young reader. Masquerade
Look, I’m just going to say it: after watching Hollywood dump CGI all over everything for the past twenty years, it’s honestly refreshing to see horror filmmakers remember why we fell in love with this genre in the first place. Real blood. Actual latex monsters. Prosthetics that exist in the same room as the actors.
A Marathon, Not a Sprint Image Credit: Griffin Lotz for Rolling Stone Meadow Creek is located at nearly 8,000 feet of elevation, prompting constant reminders about pacing and to hydrate. That didn’t stop DJ Crenshaw from spinning the most sets of the weekend, with at least 12, before each live act on the main stage.

While discussing books with some ladies I met at an art workshop recently, one mentioned that The Correspondent by Virginia Evans was her first introduction to the concept of epistolary novels. As a former English Lit major and forever book nerd, I was absolutely delighted and proceeded to recommend every novel-in-letters that I could think
Many rock fans are familiar with the Beatles’ universally reviled television movie, Magical Mystery Tour, but how the Beatles managed to make it and get it aired in December 1967 is relatively unknown. The story of how Magical Mystery Tour came to be is one of tragedy, hubris, and the price of extreme fame. The

Over the past ten years, I’ve read over a thousand books, hundreds of them nonfiction. But like most book lovers, there are always books that I can’t stop thinking about, that I can’t stop recommending. Typically, these books sit in a permanent place on my side table, always within reach. Their pages are highlighted and
Into the depths of August we’ve arrived, and with it, the calm before the publishing storm of fall. This week’s new YA book releases are quieter than they have been in a while, and they’re also not as diverse as we’ve come to anticipate–even for quieter publishing weeks. It’s a busy time of year for
The mystery and thriller genres are constantly upping the game to keep readers on their toes. Think of Gone Girl and the explosion of domestic thrillers that followed after Gillian Flynn introduced a seemingly standard missing person mystery that ended up having a WTF twist that most readers did not see coming. While I’m overall
Among the copious things I love about graphic novels and memoirs, I especially adore how transportive they can be. While reading other texts, my brain works a little, or a lot, to imagine the story unfolding, people interacting, facial expressions, hair styles, the living room setup, and the day-to-day appearance of the sky. With images
Underlined When Roxy moves away from England, she bumps into a beautiful and familiar boy. Zain. In her nightmares, they’re being burned together at the stake. And in the real world, she watches him kill a man, altering life as she knows it. She quickly learns that not only do jinn—demons—exist, but angels too. Roxy
Evil Twin, a Zando imprint A group of friends confront questions of identity, aging, and desire during a vampire infestation in an isolated Californian desert—”transporting us to a tiny town not unlike the ‘Salem’s Lot of Stephen King fame.”—Fangoria Much like the immortal beings they contain, vampire stories show no signs of going away, and

Through the years, Spirit Adrift transformed from a traditional doom metal sound toward a classically inclined heavy metal approach. Listening to their new, and by all accounts final, record, this evolution does not feel so much like a gradual change as a rediscovery of a forgotten truth, one heard in the shift from lumbering doom
