Ken Carson’s Glitchy ‘Margiela’ Video Captures Fast Life With Slow Wi-Fi
Ken Carson's latest video appears to suffer from buffering issues, but that isn't stopping him from having the time of his life in it. The Atlanta rapper apparently shot the "Margiela" video while on tour with his Opium cohort, but the buffering spinner that appears all over the clip was clearly added in post, a cheeky way of trolling fans into thinking their Wi-Fi speeds can't keep up with Ken's fast life. "Margiela" is the latest of a string of new tracks Carson has released while on tour, which includes "Yes" and "Catastrophe." Collectively, the tracks offer some insight into…
Summer Walker Trades In Her Type For True Love In Her ‘FMT’ Video
Summer Walker is Finally Over It, as her new album is finally available to stream and download. The Atlanta singer also released the video for "FMT," which you can see above. The song is a tender ballad, backed by acoustic guitars, in which a self-forgiving Walker realizes she just might not have the best taste in men. "F*ck my type," she croons. "Why do I like him? He will never treat me right." The video for "FMT," directed by Child., is inspired by African spiritualism, as Summer indulges in a ritual bath, assisted by elders. The imagery suggests symbolic rebirth,…
Olivia Dean Will Play Some Huge Venues On Her 2026 ‘The Art Of Loving’ Tour

Cardi B’s Fourth Child (And First With Stefon Diggs) Has Arrived
Cardi B has confirmed the birth of her fourth child (and first with NFL boyfriend Stefon Diggs). Cardi made the announcement on her Instagram, sharing a long message of gratitude. My life has always been a combination of different chapters and different seasons. My last chapter was the beginning of a new season. Starting over is never easy but it’s been so worth it! I brought new music and a new album to the world! A new baby into my world, and one more reason to be the best version of me, one more reason to love me more than…
Leon Bridges Is Thinking About ‘A Merry Black Christmas’ On His New Holiday Tune

Fun. soundtrack features holiday covers from Fleet Foxes, St. Vincent, Jeff Tweedy, and more.

Jessie Murph Unveils Eight New Songs On The Deluxe Edition Of ‘Sex Hysteria’
This summer, Jessie Murph dropped her second album, Sex Hysteria (in addition to performing at Uproxx's Sparkling Sessions 2.0). There's more to the album, it turns out, as today (November 14), she shared a deluxe edition, which adds eight new songs. Among them are some she's shared already, like the early fan-favorite "I'm Not There For You." Also in the batch is the 6lack collaboration "Forever."

Indiecast On The Current Radiohead Tour
Steven and Ian kick off with an announcement about an old favorite/punchline. They also discuss the recent Indiecast Bowl between the Packers and Eagles, the least watchable football game ever. From there, they have an extended conversation about Radiohead's current European tour, and what the band's standing currently is in the culture. Then they check in on the recent Grammy nominations, and critique the always unusual nominations in the rock categories. Then they do a "yay or nay" on The Neighbourhood. In Recommendation Corner, Ian talks about the Australian dream pop singer Hatchie and Steven weighs in on emo/folk/heartland rock…
These 2026 Grammy Latin Nominees Prove The Genre’s Future Is Bright
Latin music is getting shown a lot of love at the 2026 Grammy Awards. While Bad Bunny continues to make history at the awards, there's another wave of Latin acts that are ready to take Spanish-language music to the next level. Bad Bunny is the most nominated Latin act at next year's ceremony with six nominations. The Puerto Rican superstar, who has previously won three Grammys, is making history with his nominations in three major categories. For the first time in a single year at the Grammys, Spanish-language music is nominated in the Album of the Year, Song of the…
When Is Spotify Wrapped Coming Out In 2025?
The end of the year is coming. We're in the middle of November and new Christmas recordings are starting to pop up, so it's now time to start thinking about music fans' favorite annual tradition: Spotify Wrapped, the streaming platform's round-up of users' listening habits. The big issue with Spotify Wrapped is that it's hard to know exactly when it's coming, since there's no set "Spotify Wrapped Day" that's unchanging year-by-year. So, as far as when the 2026 edition will premiere, we don't yet know. But, based on past years, we can come up with a strong estimate. These are…
Don’t Blame Megan Thee Stallion For Klay Thompson’s NBA Slump
Klay Thompson is standing up for his lady Megan Thee Stallion after she was blamed for his on court slump. Despite being a four-time NBA champion and the current record-holder for most points in a quarter (37!), Klay's current production has paled in comparison to his prime. He's currently averaging just 8.5 points a game for the Dallas Mavericks, playing the lowest minutes since his rookie season for the Golden State Warriors (2011–12). On a recent podcast, former NBA star Jason Williams (White Chocolate!) attributed his athletic woes to his domestic bliss, crassly saying it “only takes one p**** to…
Charli XCX Announces A Whole ‘Wuthering Heights’ Album And Unveils ‘Chains Of Love’
It was previously known that Charli XCX was writing some music for the upcoming Wuthering Heights movie. It turns out her involvement runs deeper than just a few songs, though, as today (November 13), Charli announced an entire Wuthering Heights album, set for February 13, 2026. She also shared a new song, "Chains Of Love." A number of comments on the YouTube upload are from fans comparing the song to Charli's 2013 debut album True Romance. Meanwhile, Charli just launched a Substack newsletter and in her first post, she explained how she got involved with the movie, writing, "In early…
Charli XCX Was ‘Itching To Move On’ Towards The End Of The ‘Brat’ Era, She Admits
Charli XCX is on Substack now! Charli gets vulnerable in the inaugural post she shared yesterday, revealing that she was getting a bit tired of Brat towards the end of it. Writing about how people latched onto the album and the project shifted to belonging to the public, Charli said: "When this moment happens I normally go searching elsewhere for fulfillment. But with brat, my latest baby, people seemed to care about her more than usual. So I stuck with her and watched her grow. It was fun, don’t get me wrong, I reached new highs and new lows and…
Modern Songwriting Great Tobias Jesso Jr. Announces ‘Shine,’ His First New Album Since 2015
In 2015, Canadian singer-songwriter Tobias Jesso Jr. released his debut album, Goon. The project earned some acclaim and was one of the year's best-reviewed albums. He even performed with The Roots on Fallon. After that, though, he shifted gears, instead carving out a career in more of a background role, as a songwriter. Over the past decade, he was at least partially responsible for a lot of songs you've probably heard of: Adele's "When We Were Young" and Niall Horan's "Slow Hands" are a couple examples, while he also all over projects like Dua Lipa's Radical Optimism, Dijon's Baby, and…
The Michael Bublé Holiday Music Takeover Is Here
Holiday music is more than background noise. For a few weeks each year, it becomes the heartbeat of the home. And for millions, that beat is Michael Bublé. His catalog is the signal families use to start decorating, cooking, wrapping, traveling, and hosting. For longtime fans, the Canadian singer has become as much of a Christmas tradition as mistletoe and candy canes. For others, he is the sound that makes a living room feel like the holidays. And for brands, he is a forecastable, brand-safe environment that shows up in the moments people remember. Each December, classics like "Holly Jolly…
Damon Albarn And David Bowie Nearly Made Music Together Back In The ’90s
Over nearly three decades with Gorillaz, Damon Albarn has had the opportunity to work with a bunch of music icons. One of the ones that got away, though, was David Bowie. In a new Radio X interview, Albarn said, "I nearly made a record with Ray Davis and David Bowie back in the late '90s. That didn't happen." They also discussed getting in the studio with Dionne Warwick but that ultimately not going anywhere. Jamie Hewlett said, "She was in the studio on the piano with Damon saying, 'I'm not sure about the name of this album Demon Days. Why…
‘The Testament Of Ann Lee’: Everything To Know About Amanda Seyfried’s Historical Religious Drama
The United Society Of Believers In Christ's Second Appearing, a Christian sect better known as the Shakers, has quite the story. Today, they exist as a historical relic, as a mere three members remain as of 2025. Their past, though, is cinematic enough to get the movie treatment in the upcoming The Testament Of Ann Lee. The film focuses on Ann Lee, one of the religious movement's founders, and the story of her vision for the church. Amanda Seyfried stars, as do Lewis Pullman, Tim Blake Nelson, and more. Ahead of the movie's release, keep reading for everything you need…
Robyn Finally Unveils The Kinetic ‘Dopamine,’ Her First New Single Since 2018
In recent years, Robyn has popped up on new songs here and there, like that Jamie xx collaboration or Charli XCX's "360" remix, both from last year. As far as her own new songs, though, there haven't been any since the release of her 2018 album Honey. She appears to be launching a new era, though, as today (November 12), she has shared a new one, "Dopamine," a catchy dance-pop number that arrives alongside a video. In a statement, Robyn says of the song: "Everyone has a phone where they see their heart rate, and we're learning how to decode…
Cardi B’s ‘ErrTime (Snow Mix)’ Swaps Latto’s Verse For A Hard-Hitting Jeezy Feature
With winter coming just weeks away, who is better to help Cardi B bring in the snowy season than The Snowman? The Bronx bombshell's Am I The Drama? standout "ErrTime" already includes one Atlanta trap star in Latto, and today, Cardi released a remix swapping in one of the godfathers of Atlanta trap, Jeezy. The new version of the song (dubbed a "Snow Mix") finds Jeezy opening the song with a brand-new verse before sprinkling his signature ad-libs all over the chorus. "Slow and smooth ass criminal, Teddy P, Easy E / Got that billionaire status, Robert Smith, Gary Vee…
Wale Faces A ‘Diabolical’ ‘Sound Check’ Challenge With A Jay-Z Vs. Black Thought Battle
The ultimate compliment an artist can pay to the Uproxx Sound Check challenge is "diabolical." That's how Wale describes it in our latest installment, as the recent Def Jam signee faces down one of our most wide-ranging sets of song choices yet. Here’s how it works: Jeremy plays two songs for the guest artist, who has to choose one and explain their choice, giving Jeremy a chance to learn their musical taste. Jeremy then has to guess the artist’s life anthem, the song they’d take to a desert island, which the guest wrote down earlier on a piece of paper.…
Mandy, Indiana’s ‘Urgh’ Will Be Their First Album At Their New Label Home
UK noise rockers Mandy, Indiana had a critical hit with their 2023 debut album, I've Seen A Way. A new era is now loading: Today (November 12), the group announced a new album, Urgh, which will be their first release for their new label, Sacred Bones. They also shared the punishing single "Magazine." The group's Valentine Caulfield says of the song: "'Magazine' is the expression of the frustration and deep-seated violence I felt while attempting to recover from being raped. Just like most victims of sexual assault, I will never get justice, and just like most perpetrators, my attacker will…
Clipse Share Their Menacing ‘F.I.C.O.’ Video With Stove God Cooks
Clipse may have released their fourth studio album Let God Sort Em Out four months ago, but they're keeping the rollout going to ensure it stays top of mind of Grammy voters for Best Rap Album of 2025. Their latest effort to that end is the video for "F.I.C.O.," the tongue-twisting collaboration with Syracuse rapper Stove God Cooks. The visual strings together stark, black-and-white imagery in collage with clips of the duo rapping their aggressive bars from the backseats of cars and the backrooms of seemingly abandoned buildings -- exactly the sorts of places their grisly crime narratives would unfold.…
The ‘Oh. What. Fun.’ Soundtrack Is Full Of Holiday Covers From Indie Favorites
Holiday media is starting to roll out as we approach the middle of November. For instance, director Michael Showalter's Christmas movie Oh. What. Fun. is set to hit Amazon's Prime Video on December 3. It turns out that the soundtrack, which will be available the same day as the film, is pretty stacked, with covers of holiday classics from Fleet Foxes, St. Vincent, Jeff Tweedy, and many more. A bunch of the artists on the soundtrack shared statements. Here's Sharon Van Etten (whose rendition of The Pretenders' "2000 Miles" with her band The Attachment Theory is out now): “I connected…
Summer Walker Shared The Tracklist For Her Long-Awaited Album, ‘Finally Over It’
Summer Walker's mischievous Finally Over It rollout continues. After revealing the "guest list" of artists who will feature on the album -- from Brent Faiyaz to Sailorr -- Summer followed up just a few hours later with the tracklist revealing the song titles. Now we know which "guest" belongs to what song, and the excitement for Walker's third album couldn't be higher. The tracklist is broken into two parts, For Better and For Worse, mirroring the wedding theme that has appeared throughout the album's rollout. The cover art has Summer posing in a wedding dress alongside a much older white…
Following Radiohead’s Current Tour, One Video And Bootleg At A Time
There's a term I like that's common in the jam band world and (to my knowledge) nowhere else: "Couch tour." It means you follow a band's live shows, one by one, via livestreams or field recordings. Right now, I'm doing a couch tour with Radiohead's run of dates in Europe. Four of them took place last week in Madrid, and the remaining itinerary of 16 shows resumes this Friday in Italy. It's great. Radiohead, if you haven't heard, is a good band with good songs. My never-ending disappointment over not being absurdly rich flares up whenever I think about not…
BTS’ New Music Is ‘Coming Out Great,’ RM Says Ahead Of The Group’s Long-Awaited Comeback
2020 was a huge year for BTS. They released two albums -- Map Of The Soul: 7 – The Journey and Be -- and had three No. 1 singles -- "Dynamite," "Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat) (BTS Remix)," and "Life Goes On." Aside from a few more No. 1 singles in 2021, though, it's been mostly quiet since then as the band members have been busy fulfilling their military service requirements in South Korea. Their comeback is getting closer and closer, though. The guys have met their obligations to their country and had a bit of a reunion at…
