In the late 1960s, Richard and Karen Carpenter formed the brother-and-sister duo the Carpenters.

Devendra Banhart – “Nun”
Next month, Devendra Banhart will release a new album, the Cate Le Bon-produced Flying Wig, the follow-up to 2019’s Ma. We’ve written about the album’s lead single “Twin” and its follow-up “Sirens.” Today, Banhart is back with another preview called “Nun.” A grooving, sing-songy cut, “Nun” gives off a ’70s psychedelic flair with its lively […]
The Boss Comes Home
Bruce Springsteen didn’t need to say anything when he got onstage. Everyone at East Rutherford’s MetLife Stadium knew the occasion. After the E Street Band re-emerged for the first time in seven years with an arena tour across America, they took to stadiums in Europe for the summer, and now they’ve come back home. Not […]

Earlier this month I was deeply impressed by “ghosts,” a stunning single from the hyperpop-shoegaze act yeule. Today they’re back with another preview of next month’s album softscars. This latest track, “inferno,” blooms from an orchestral introduction into a steadily thumping low-key beat, with yeule’s voice slicing and dicing amidst a varied downpour of keyboard […]
Doja Cat Replaces Scarlet Album Cover That Was The Same As German Metal Band’s
Doja Cat recently revealed the artwork for her new album Scarlet. People were quick to point out that the red spider on Doja Cat’s cover was nearly identical to the red spider on a new album from the German metalcore band Chaver, set to be released on the same day as Doja Cat’s. Both were […]

Diddy is ramping up to the release of the R&B-themed The Love Album: Off The Grid, his first proper solo album since 2006’s Press Play (though there was also the acclaimed group effort Last Train To Paris with Diddy – Dirty Money in 2010 and the, uh, less acclaimed 11 11 with dance producer Guy […]
Kylie Minogue – “Tension”
I don’t think Kylie Minogue could have anticipated what happened with “Padam Padam,” the intensely catchy lead single from her new album Tension. “Padam Padam” came out four months ago alongside the album announcement, and quickly turned into a sensation and Song Of The Summer contender. Minogue hasn’t put out a single from Tension since […]
