Laufey Delivers A Nostalgic Stop-Motion Video For Her Cover Of ‘Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town’
Laufey is a contemporary holiday staple thanks to her annual drop of festive songs. This year, she delivered a rendition of "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town" in a seasonally appropriate jazzy style. She has one again called upon Christmas traditions in a new video for the song shared today (December 4). It's presented in a stop-motion animation style, reminiscent of classic holiday specials like Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer. It's adorable: Laufey stars alongside Mei Mei The Bunny as the pair enjoy the magical season in and around the house. Watch the "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town" video above…
Watch Coco Jones Deliver A One-Of-A-Kind Performance Of ‘Thang 4 U’ For UPROXX Visionaries
If you’ve never watched an artist drive a car through a media studio, onto the stage, and instantly start performing, then this is for you. Coco Jones — Bel-Air star, R&B revivalist, and 2025 Grammy Award nominee — does all of the above for her UPROXX Visionaries performance of Why Not More? standout, “Thang 4 U.” Pulling up on the FYI Campus in a head-turning Toyota Crown, Jones doesn’t just park in the lot; she drives through the office, right up to the UPROXX Studios XR Stage, hops out, and starts singing. Meanwhile, the XR does its thing, transforming her…
Lil Baby Officially Releases ‘The Leaks’ As A Mixtape For His Birthday
It looks like we got two Lil Baby projects this year, after all. After the Atlanta rapper quietly canceled Dominique, the planned follow-up to his last album, WHAM, it looked like we might not get any more new music from Lil Baby for the year. However, a week ago, Lil Baby announced The Leaks, a mixtape compiling "full versions of previously teased snippets and leaked songs that have circulated online over the years" spanning his career, after he teased a "WHAM Wednesdays" campaign of new songs every week for the remainder of the year. Following the release of "Try To…
TDE’s Annual Christmas Concert Returns For 2025 To Give Back With SZA, Doechii, And More
Top Dawg Entertainment's annual holiday concert has become a staple tradition in Los Angeles. Last year's event brought out guests like Kendrick Lamar (who left the label to start his own imprint in 2023) and GloRilla (who was the traditional surprise guest). The tradition continues Thursday, December 18, in Nickerson Gardens in Watts, with a lineup including the whole TDE roster: Ab-Soul, Doechii, Isaiah Rashad, Jay Rock, Lance Skiiiwalker, Ray Vaughn, Schoolboy Q, SiR, SZA, and Zacari. And, as usual, there's a plethora of surprise guests, in addition to the surprise headliner. Last year, that number included many of the…

Rosalía has one of 2025's defining projects with her new album Lux; Uproxx's Steven Hyden thinks it'll end up being most critics' pick for the year's best album. Fans will soon be able to see it on stage, too: Today (December 4), Rosalía announced the Lux Tour. The run kicks off in March 2026 and runs through to September.

Nate Amos Of This Is Lorelei Is A Generational Songwriting Talent
When I caught up with Nate Amos last month, he was transitioning from one time zone to another. "I'm not jetlagged but I don't know if I have a really good sense of what time it is," he said not long before a show in London. Amos was also stuck between musical identities -- this tour was with Water From Your Eyes, the anarcho-pop duo he plays in with Rachel Brown. But our conversation was about This Is Lorelei, the long-running solo project set to release an excellent new album called Holo Boy on December 12. "Things haven't gotten so…
Sabrina Carpenter Ranks Acting A Close Second Behind Music On Her Priorities List
Sabrina Carpenter's music career can be broken up into two acts: Her child star days on the Disney-owned Hollywood Records and the mainstream pop star era that followed. Before both of those, though, she was an actor, most notably on Girl Meets World. (Also, who could forget her iconic role in the 2011 video game Just Dance Kids 2?) Now, Carpenter finds herself in a position where she could make a big return to acting. But, she doesn't see herself focusing on that over music. When asked in a new Variety feature if she'll always prioritize singing over acting, Carpenter…
Tyler, The Creator’s Next Le Fleur Collection Will Be His Last
Tyler, The Creator's le Fleur clothing line has been a useful creative outlet for him, but as he told fans via his Instagram today, the clothing line has run its course. His next le Fleur collection, he says, will be his last, as he moves onto other projects -- such as his acting career, which officially launches this month with the A24 sports epic Marty Supreme, also starring Timothée Chalamet. “Making clothes, my second passion,” he wrote. “I started this back in 2019 as a side project. The goal was to mirror things that matched my personal style. It grew…
Get Ready For The Coco Jones ‘Visionaries’ Experience
Coco Jones is an R&B legend in the making. The Bel-Air actress turned Grammy Award-winning R&B artist is the latest talent to be dubbed a UPROXX Visionary, and will make her debut on the UPROXX Studios XR Stage on December 3, performing her hit song “Thang 4 U.” Jones’ approach to blending modern and classic R&B extends to her performance, which showcases skills that come so effortlessly that she can pull onto the stage, get out, and launch right into the song after a comfortable ride in a platinum trim Toyota Crown. UPROXX’s Visionaries is a first-of-its-kind performance show on…
Amanda Seyfried And Daniel Blumberg Share An Evocative Duet For ‘The Testament Of Ann Lee’
In the upcoming The Testament Of Ann Lee, Amanda Seyfried plays the leader of a Christian sect. For the film, composer Daniel Blumberg composed the score, along with three original songs. One of them, "Clothed By The Sun," is a duet with Seyfried that plays over the movie's end credits, and the song has been shared today (December 3). There's also a performance video of the song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btabRer2_EU In a statement, Blumberg says of the song: "When I write songs, usually the best ones happen very quickly and naturally. With ‘Clothed By The Sun,’ I plugged in my electric guitar…
Joji Announces His Fourth Album, ‘Piss In The Wind,’ With The ‘Pixelated Kisses (Remix)’ FeaturingYeat
Joji returned earlier this year with the moody new single "Pixelated Kisses," and today, he's dropped the glitchy video for its remix featuring fellow digital music misfit Yeat to announce the impending release of his fourth studio album, Piss In The Wind. The "Pixelated Kisses" remix video embraces the visuals evoked by its title, simulating a glitchy video experience populated by Japanese bargirls. Meanwhile, his reference to all the satellites being down from the chorus is echoed by the use of broken clips of space shuttle launches. Yeat appears in his usual balaclava, distorted by digital noise like a bad…
The Warner Music Experience Holiday Store Pop-Up Will Hit LA With Limited Drops
Just in time for the holidays, Warner Music Group is launching the Warner Music Experience Holiday Store, a pop-up store "celebrating music, culture, and fandom," per a press release. It all goes down on the ground floor of the W Hotel Hollywood (6250 Hollywood Blvd in Hollywood), with the public opening on December 4.

Clipse Will Be The First Musical Guests On Amazon’s NBA Postgame Show, ‘NBA Nightcap’
NBA Nightcap, Amazon's postgame talk and analysis show, has been a hit in its debut season, adding innovations to the format such as high-tech studio segments and fresh voices from vets like Blake Griffin, Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, and Udonis Haslem. This week, the show will add a new wrinkle: Musical performances. On Friday, December 5, NBA Nightcap will debut its new segment, "Amazon Music Presents: In The Paint," with its first-ever musical guests, Clipse. The segment will be filmed "in the paint," literally, on the LED half court that the studio team uses for in-depth, three-dimensional analysis. Here's a…
Where To Eat, Drink, Sleep And Explore Year-Round In The Heart Of The Alps: Andermatt, Switzerland
From as far back as I can remember, I grew up looking at a photo in my grandfather's office of his “family home” in Switzerland. The chalet amongst the forested mountains looked unreal, even as a child. I was enamored with the photo, but truthfully never imagined I’d see the landscape myself. That all changed (luckily) this year, as I was invited to spend time exploring the Alps in Andermatt, Switzerland. You might not be familiar with Andermatt (I wasn’t, transparently) but while this ski area doesn’t have the same number of opulent trending TikTok videos as St. Moritz or…
Bruno Mars, Sombr, Kendrick Lamar, And More Had Spotify’s Top Songs Of 2025
Apple Music shared its year-end list of the platform's top music of 2025, and the most-streamed songs were primarily from 2024. Today (December 3) is Spotify's turn, as Spotify Wrapped is out now. It's mostly older songs dominating the list of top global songs, too. The top songs list is as follows: 1. Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars -- "Die With A Smile" 2. Billie Eilish -- "Birds Of A Feather" 3. Rosé and Bruno Mars -- "APT." 4. Alex Warren -- "Ordinary" 5. Bad Bunny -- "DtMF" 6. Sombr -- "Back To Friends" 7. HUNTR/X, EJAE, AUDREY NUNA, REI…
‘Mother Mary’: Everything To Know About Anne Hathaway’s Pop Star Drama
Director Director David Lowery called Mother Mary, his upcoming movie, "a weird, weird film." That makes sense, given that A24 is distributing and they're known for pushing the envelope in the name of creativity. Lowery has some great partners to help bring this vision to life: Anne Hathaway plays a larger-than-life pop star who has a tense reunion with a former friend and costume designer played by Michaela Coel. The movie doesn't skimp on the musical elements, as Charli XCX, Jack Antonoff, and FKA Twigs contribute music to the film, while Twigs also has an acting role. Ahead of the…
PinkPantheress, Sombr, Clipse, And More Will Head To Finland In 2026 For Flow Festival
Finland's Flow Festival has been a terrific event for over two decades now, and the magic is set to continue with next year's edition. It's set to go down from August 14 and 16 in and around the iconic Suvilahti Power Plant in downtown Helsinki.

Also appearing areAres, Arppa 8-pack, asla jo, DJ Kridlokk: Hai, Honey Dijon,…

Damon Albarn is preparing for a big Gorillaz year in 2026: The band has a new album, The Mountain, on the way in March. Before that, fans in Los Angeles have the opportunity to hear it early, as today (December 2), Gorillaz announced a pair of full-album performances at The Hollywood Palladium, set for February 22 and 23.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard Announce The Only US Shows They’re Playing In 2026
Ever-busy Australian rockers King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard will actually be fairly subdued next year, at least in terms of their live appearances in the US. Today (December 2), the band announced what they say will be the only shows they'll play in the US in 2026. First, their Field Of Vision festival is going down at Meadow Creek in Buena Vista, Colorado from August 14 to 16.

The Strokes And Noah Kahan Headline Bonnaroo Festival’s 2026 Lineup
Bonnaroo Festival has announced its lineup for 2026, featuring headliners Noah Kahan, RÜFÜS DU SOL, Skrillex, and The Strokes. Returning to Bonnaroo Farm in Manchester, Tennessee on June 11-14, 2026, the four-day festival will run the gamut from EDM (Major Lazer, Zack Fox) to hip-hop (Vince Staples, Freddie Gibbs) to rock (Turnstile, Mt. Joy), and everything in between. After the 2025 festival was canceled over weather concerns, many of the same artists are returning for a do-over, even though a bunch of them still played a separate show in Nashville that weekend. Bonnaroo tickets go on sale Friday, December 5…
Apple Music’s Five Most-Played Songs Of 2025 Are All From 2024
Back in July, Luminate, which provides chart data for Billboard, shared the most-streamed songs of the year so far. In the top ten, only three songs were actually released in 2025, while the rest of the streaming hits originally came out in 2024. At least on Apple Music, that didn't change throughout the rest of the year. Today (December 2), Apple Music revealed its year-end charts, and the top five most-streamed songs globally are all from 2024. Per MacRumors, the platform's biggest songs of the year, in order, are Rosé and Bruno Mars' "APT.," Kendrick Lamar and SZA's "Luther," Lady…
The Lil Uzi Vert Renaissance Continues With The Colorful ‘Regular’ Video
The Lil Uzi Vert renaissance continues with "Regular," the Philly rapper's latest colorful video. Like "Chanel Boy" and "Relevant," "Regular" sees a revitalized Lil Uzi burst firing rhymes about how cool the rapper is while showing off an impressive sartorial collection -- one that now includes a few flashes of firearms, for some reason (Uzi named their self after a gun, but that was more for their rapid-fire flow than any sort of proclivity toward violence). The last three singles appear to be a hard reset to the Uzi of old after recent efforts left fans disappointed, through no fault…
The Vinyl Gift Guide For The Music Lover In Your Life
The holiday season is in full swing and there are plenty of gift options for your loved ones this year. But if there's something we feel most strongly about here at Uproxx, it's the arts, and specifically ways to bring art into your home and the homes of your loved ones. In a world that seems to be deprioritizing ownership of physical media all the time, we can't think of a better way to support the artists we love and give a gift whose enjoyment is limitless. We've listened to a lot of great vinyl this year, so this is…

Sometimes, though, you need a deeper dive. That's where Uproxx's Baylee Lefton comes in as she routinely offers quick-hit lists of songs you need to add into your rotation this week.
