When reviewing Bayonne’s 2016 album Primitives, PopMatters described how “If Debussy and Phil Collins fell in love, Bayonne would be their baby. (That’s a good thing.)” The allusion remains apt. The Texan multi-instrumentalist has continually cited adult pop-rock luminaries such as Phil Collins and Enya, and that fascination with expansive, polished pop remains present on
The idea of colour as an act of protest lingered in my head all day on Saturday at the 19th annual Osheaga Festival in Montreal. Attending a pop music festival on a gloriously sunny afternoon on the first day of August, I would much rather have been distracted by whatever tunes were being cranked out
Finally, summer is ending, the heat is retreating, and I can fully enjoy my black metal in the weather it was meant for. The one that really got me in the right mood is the new Hanternoz. As they pulled back their folk leanings, they showed more of the latent Scandinavian influence with its colder
If a film, be it satirical or dramatic in its message, makes male power look good enough, some will eventually mistake its cautionary tale for a blueprint.In films like Wall Street, American Psycho, and The Wolf of Wall Street, the warnings they convey rarely outlast the spectacle of the suit, the body, the apartment, or
Lip care is one of those rare categories where a single product can work across every skin tone. Unlike foundation, concealer, or even blush, a good lip balm does not need to match your complexion to do its job. It sits underneath color or works on its own, and the only thing that matters is
John Galliano has called off a planned exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art that was set to honor his decades-long career, the designer announced in a statement. Galliano said he was “profoundly grateful” to the Met, and specifically to Max Hollein, Andrew Bolton, and Anna Wintour, for the opportunity to have his creative journey
In his interpretation of Homer’s epic poem, The Odyssey, director Christopher Nolan offers us a contemporary version of the Homeric lotus flower. “Eat of this,” Nolan incants. “You will believe once existed a time and place when a powerful man who generaled wars of death and destruction felt really bad about it.” No time and
Schoenberg: Pierrot Lunaire, Op. 21 Aaron Wyanski and Anna Elder Speculative Records 29 May 2026 Taking a critically acclaimed, historic composition and reconfiguring it for a seemingly anachronistic style can be tough to pull off, even, to some ears, heretical. However, for composer and pianist Aaron Wyanski, retooling the works of the prolific, groundbreaking 20th-century
SPIT! Nicola Miller’s Living Things Watch That Ends the Night 7 August 2026 In 2024, alto saxophonist and composer Nicola Miller released her debut album, Living Things, which featured a killer lineup of Doug Tielli on trombone, Nicholas D’Amato on bass, Nick Fraser on drums and Miller’s mentor Frank Gratkowski on bass clarinet and alto
Dexys Midnight Runners issued three records during the 1980s, each exploring Kevin Rowland’s Irish identity in Margaret Thatcher’s Britain. Don’t Stand Me Down could be interpreted as a rock opera, a sonic autobiography about Rowland’s formative experiences in Connaught. The singer released two solo albums, and three group works under the moniker Dexys. LOVE is
Ruthie Foster possesses a dynamic, soulful voice. Her vocals resemble those of great performers from similar churchy backgrounds who came before her, such as Aretha Franklin and Mavis Staples. Foster’s latest album, Just Say Yes, has its share of gospel-inflected tunes, including the confessional tale of her own religious transformation, “Come on Up”, but the
On the first day of the new millennium, rapper Slug, one half of Minneapolis-based duo Atmosphere, opened his guest verse on DJ Abilities’ song “Exclusive” by recalling “the earlier days when [he] would ego trip”, all the way up “to the phase when [he] hit all that emo shit”. As minor a quote as it
Vertebrae After Vertebrae Pharmacist Hells Headbangers 29 May 2026 In the tradition of goregrind bands, Pharmacist’s debut,Medical Renditions of Grinding Decomposition,combines their forensic obsessions with a guttural sonic presentation. The messy production is fitting, making the guitar leads ooze with dissonant unease. The grooves are stitched together haphazardly, their erratic shifts between rapid bursts and
Like any purists, those in bluegrass music can be prickly. Since its early years, bluegrass—like its parent genre, country music—has exponentially expanded its audience and sonic palette while grappling with change in the music and its surrounding contexts, especially in this millennium. However, an album like the new reissue of acoustic guitarist Tony Rice’s self-titled
The spooky season is officially here, and it’s time to gear up for the most wonderful time of the year.

This Music May Contain Hope RAYE Human Re Sources 27 March 2026 The singer-songwriter RAYE, whose given name is Rachel Keen, does not make algorithmic hits.

Cardi B is back with a new music video for her single “A Ha,” and as always, the styling is just as much of a moment as the song itself. Shot on a rain-drenched New York street, the video finds Cardi surrounded by a crew of dancers as she serves look after look in the
Céline Dion made a triumphant return to the streets of Paris on Friday morning, greeting fans ahead of the start of her five-week residency in the city. Styled by Law Roach, the singer stepped out in a caramel khaki trench with an asymmetric cut and enveloping silhouette from Alaïa’s Fall 2026 collection. The wrap trench
A great celebrity look is rarely just about the clothes. Hair, makeup and accessories all play a part in creating an image that people remember, and wigs have become one of the most flexible tools for changing that image. A celebrity can appear with a sleek bob one week, dramatic curls the next and waist-length
It’s no secret that The Devil Wears Prada killed the Gen X sensibility for good. Which isn’t to say the film was the sole culprit. When director David Frankel’s adaptation of Lauren Weisberg’s novel of the same name hit theaters in 2006, the grungy detachment that animated much of 1990s pop culture was already on
Highly anticipated supernatural horror anthology Echoes from the Void, directed by award-winning filmmaker Robert W. Filion, is now available to stream worldwide on Amazon Prime.

Five interconnected tales unravel to reveal a sinister force
Friends is one of the best sitcoms of all time, and with any show that has that label, there’s a lot of discourse around it.

It’s been a tough year for Bachelor Nation, with zero of The Bachelor’s reality dating shows airing on the 2026 TV schedule. Sure, there have been other worthwhile options, like the train wreck that was Let’s Marry Harry and Peacock’s beloved Love Island, but there’s just something special about the ABC franchise that has —
From Hitchcock’s classics to contemporary masterpieces, great cinema has long relied on costumes to help shape the narrative. The work achieved by Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould inBetter Call Saul(2015-22), the spin-off of Breaking Bad, along with costume designer Jennifer Bryan, shares the same brilliance. Gilligan’s Breaking Badwas already famous for using a precise mathematical
Nicole Kidman is back on the upcoming movie schedule, this time to return to her role of Gillian Owens in Practical Magic 2 alongside Sandra Bullock. And, thanks to an interview that came out of the press tour, I just learned that the Oscar winner isn’t a stranger to casting a spell or so in
Everything you think you know about Andrew Garfield’s new movie could be wrong. Or could be right. Originally titled The Uprising: The Rise of Robin Hood, the historical drama has officially dropped the ‘Robin Hood’ of it all. This comes after Focus Features released a poster promoting the film as origins for the legendary hero.
Sony Pictures once had plans for a ‘fresh reboot’ of the Spider-Man live-action universe. However, those plans seemed shaky at best after the underperformance of Madame Web and Kraven the Hunter at the box office. Ever since, I’ve been wondering what’s going on with Sony’s Marvel spin-offs, and someone finally asked an executive. Chairman Tom
