Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Alice In Wonderland’ Movie Is Only ‘Based Loosely’ On The Original Story
It was announced last week that Sabrina Carpenter is producing and starring in a movie musical based on Alice In Wonderland. Marc Platt, a producer of the recent Wicked movies, is on board here, while Lorene Scafaria is writing and directing. Now, thanks to Platt, we know a little more about the project. In an interview with Variety's Marc Malkin, Platt said: "It's an idea that Sabrina's had, and so we're just in the beginning stages. But it's a contemporary story with an allegory to and based loosely on Alice In Wonderland. [...] We sat down and we talked about…
Lil Baby Has Some ‘Real Sh*t’ To Discuss In His Latest ‘WHAM Wednesdays’ Video
Lil Baby has been releasing new tracks every week recently under the auspices of his "WHAM Wednesdays" campaign (named after his January album). Beginning with "All On Me" featuring G Herbo three weeks ago, and continuing with "Plenty" featuring YTB Fatt and YFN Lucci, "Try To Love," and "Otha Boy," the releases have fulfilled the Atlanta rapper's promise to drop a "Song & Video Every Wednesday For The Rest Of The Year," the tradition continues with "Real Sh*t." Produced by4 3Juice and SouliMadeIt, "Real Sh*t" is a cascading stream of consciousness freestyle from Baby, all in one verse, with no…
Labrinth Survives An ‘Implosion,’ In The Latest Single From His Upcoming Album, ‘Cosmic Opera: Act 1’
Labrinth's fourth studio album, Cosmic Opera: Act I, arrives January 30 via Columbia Records, and today, the production powerhouse shares the latest single, "Implosion." Like its predecessors, "S.W.M.F." and "Orchestra," "Implosion" finds Labrinth blending symphonic sensibilities with electronic impulses for a boisterous, bold blend of both spacey trap and dubstep with the operatic foundations implied by the album's title. It isn't like he didn't warn us this was coming; in September, he dropped an eight-song EP titled Prelude, and as we all know, the term refers to a short piece of music that often serves as an introduction to a…
The War On Drugs Are Bringing Back Their ‘Drugcember To Remember’ Holiday Shows After Two Years Away
In 2018, The War On Drugs hosted the first edition of A Drugcember To Remember, a series of benefit shows to help The Fund For The School District Of Philadelphia, a nonprofit that boosts Philly public schools. The band hasn't done it the past two years, though, but in 2025, they're coming back: Today (November 19), they've announced the event's return. The shows are set for December 18, 19, and 20 at Johnny Brenda’s in Philadelphia. Tickets will be available starting November 21 at 10 a.m ET, via the band's website. The band's Adam Granduciel says in a statement: "Another…
Atmosphere Tag-Teams A Classic Rap ‘Sound Check’ Challenge With MF DOOM, Clipse, JID, And More
You would think it would be much harder to agree on a "lifetime anthem" as a group, but nope -- Earthgang, The LOX, and now, Atmosphere, our latest Sound Check guests, all claim it's pretty easy. "Easier than I thought it'd be," Slug tells our host, Jeremy Hecht. Of course, that doesn't make things any easier for Jeremy himself, who has to figure out what that song might be with our production team trying to trick him. To help him hash things out this time around, Jeremy comes armed with seven rounds of classic tracks to pair off, including Kool…
Summer Walker Releases Not Just One, But Two Deluxe Editions Of ‘Finally Over It’
Summer Walker is going all-out with her new album. Just days after releasing Finally Over It, her third studio album and the completion of a trilogy she started with Over It and continued with Still Over It, she's released not just one, but two deluxe editions of the new album -- which was already a double album, to begin with. Cocktail Hour includes "Session 32," "Session 34," and a slew of Apple Music-exclusive content, including a video of her recording fan favorite “Go Girl.” Meanwhile, The After Party makes a pair of songs available on streaming that were previously only…
Camp Flog Gnaw Adds Kali Uchis, Blood Orange, And Geese To Its Lineup After Postponing For Weather
Last weekend, Tyler, The Creator's Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival was postponed due to dangerous weather conditions in Los Angeles. This week, the sun is shining, and there's nary a cloud in the sky; perfect conditions for the rescheduled festival to continue as planned. The bad news is, Clairo, Don Toliver, Men I Trust, Sombr, Tems, and The Alchemist were forced to forego their scheduled sets. However, there's some good news too: their replacements are Flog Gnaw favorites, including Blood Orange, Fakemink, Geese, Gia Fu, and Kali Uchis. Tickets are also back on sale for the rescheduled event after initially selling…
Allison And Katie Crutchfield Give Their First (And Perhaps Last) Late-Night TV Performance As Snocaps
Earlier this month, sisters Allison and Katie Crutchfield (the latter better known as Waxahatchee) formed a new band, Snocaps, and released a surprise self-titled debut album. (MJ Lenderman and Brad Cook also perform on the album.) With the release, though, came the note that after some upcoming concerts, the siblings will "put the project on ice for the foreseeable future." So, on The Tonight Show yesterday (November 18), the band gave their first late-night TV performance, which could very well also be their last. For their time on the air, they went with "Coast." This was their first time playing…
Zach Bryan Discusses His Newfound Sobriety In A Vulnerable Post About His Mental Health
Zach Bryan has never been afraid to say what's on his mind. What he's been thinking about lately is some heavy stuff. Specifically, Bryan has confronted his relationship with fame, anxiety, and alcohol. In an Instagram post shared last night (November 18), Bryan wrote in the caption, "In no way is this a greater than thou sentiment and I’m aware I am one of the luckiest men alive. I pray people don’t take this as me taking my blessings for granted. I wanted to share this because I feel like a lot of people go through mental struggles at times…
Which Albums Will Critics Choose As 2025’s Best? Let’s Make Some Educated Guesses
This time of year, I don't have to look at the calendar to know what time it is. I can already feel it in my bones. The urge to eat pumpkin pie and start making my year-end albums list tells me all I need to know. I have been doing both things for most of my life. I'm not sure if either is good for me, and yet I persist. When it comes to the second thing, I also start thinking about what other music critics are going to put on their lists. And then I go into prognostication mode…
My Chemical Romance Are Already Planning For Next Halloween With Special Hollywood Bowl Shows
A couple months ago, My Chemical Romance announced a huge run of shows for 2026, continuing their The Black Parade tour. That wasn't quite all they had in store, though, as today (November 18), they've added two special shows to the run. They're both at the Hollywood Bowl, making it five straight performances there, which makes MCR the first band to perform five shows there. The concerts go down on Halloween and the day before. The October 30 show will be with The Used while the October 31 performance will be with Thrice. A press release notes these will be…

Kilby Block Party’s 2026 Lineup Boasts Lorde, Turnstile, And The xx
As the cold of winter prepares to set in, it's not too early to start planning for next festival season. If you're looking to make a trip out to Salt Lake City, Kilby Block Party is as good a reason as any. The 2026 edition of the festival is set to go down from May 15 to 17, and today (November 18), the lineup was announced. The top line of the poster features Lorde, The xx, and Turnstile. Beyond them are Hayley Williams, Modest Mouse, Alex G, Blood Orange, Lucy Dacus, Father John Misty, Japanese Breakfast, Magdalena Bay, Flipturn, The…
Kevin Parker Admits Dance Music Was ‘A Guilty Pleasure For So Long’ Before His New Tame Impala Album
Kevin Parker has made some tweaks to the aesthetic of his Tame Impala music over the years, but Deadbeat is one of his pivots yet, as the project is more heavily indebted to dance music than anything he had done before. This had been a long time coming, as for years, dance music was a "guilty pleasure" for him, he revealed. In a new interview with Russh, Parker said: "It's always been a love of mine, even before it was obvious, even before it was imaginable that I could make that kind of music. It was a guilty pleasure for…
Waxahatchee And MJ Lenderman Are Hitting The Road Together For A Joint Tour
Waxahatchee (Katie Crutchfield) and MJ Lenderman are clearly buds. Lenderman featured on Waxa's 2024 song "Right Back To It," and he also performed on the new album from Snocaps, the duo of Crutchfield and sister Allison Crutchfield. The pair are continuing their friendship, and professional relationship, next year: Today (November 17), they announced a joint tour for 2026. On the 18-date run, the two will perform solo as well as together. The run kicks off in Atlanta in April and from there, will run through to early May. For tickets, a pre-sale starts November 19, followed by the general on-sale…
Charli XCX Continues The ‘Wuthering Heights’ Rollout With A Surreal New ‘Chains Of Love’ Video
Charli XCX is contributing some songs to the Wuthering Heights movie, which we've known for a little while now. Last week, though, she revealed that she's actually doing an entire album. Part of the project is last week's "Chains Of Love," which fans excitedly compared to the True Romance era. Now there's a video, in which Charli finds herself laying on a long table in the middle of a ballroom. As she sings and dances, some surreal elements start to take over, which shift physics and reality. Charli recently wrote of her experience making music for the movie: "In early…
FKA Twigs Delivers Striking Choreography In Her Black-And-White ‘Hard’ Video
FKA Twigs always brings it with her videos, which are frequently high-concept and/or have some incredible choreography. She has a new one out now, for "Hard," and once again, she doesn't disappoint. The black-and-white clip starts with Trigs singing to the camera before she starts dancing around her desert environment. She's later joined by other dancers, creating a menagerie of beautifully moving bodies. Lyrically, Twigs starts the sexually charged song, "Wet thighs, I'm ecstatic, chemistry was automatic / Don’t touch, there's no rush / I gotta know something about you / Just tell me, would you do it hard?" Twigs…
Hotels We Love: Cascada Thermal Springs + Spa Is Portland, Oregon’s Best Hotel
I'm not the first person to be wildly charmed by spas (though, as with everything, Uproxx was riding this cultural wave early). Done well, they're just such a perfect combination of health-meets-fun and relaxation-meets-vibezzzzzzzzzzz. But in becoming a spa connoisseur (spa-nnoisseur?), I've seen a lot of bricks. Sometimes they're too quiet. Others, they don't feel new/clean enough. And others still, they are so strict in their pursuit of serenity that the whole experience becomes cold and sterile. And yes, I know spas aren't specifically designed to be sexy, but they shouldn't veer so far away from that as to become…
Justin Vernon Would Be ‘Very Surprised’ If There Was Ever Another Bon Iver Album
We got a new Bon Iver album, SABLE, fABLE, earlier this year. Unfortunately, it could end up being the final Bon Iver album, as Justin Vernon indicated in an interview. In a chat with The Times, Vernon said, “I’m tapped into the emotion of music -- the blue part. I have that in me thanks to the thousands of musicians I’ve absorbed, and they’re just in there. But I don’t know how much is left. I’ve expelled a lot of it.” When asked if that means there will be any more Bon Iver albums, he said: “I would be very…
Paul McCartney’s New Song Is Almost Completely Silent
Earlier this year, over a thousand artists came together to release the album Is This What We Want?. Per the project's website, it was made in response to proposed copyright law changes in the UK, which would "allow artificial intelligence companies to build their products using other people's copyrighted work -- music, artworks, text, and more -- without a licence." The gimmick is that the whole project is recordings of empty studios and performance spaces, "representing the impact we expect the government's proposals would have on musicians' livelihoods." Now, a vinyl edition is coming out, and Paul McCartney has contributed…
Post Malone, Jack White, And Lil Jon Are Playing The NFL’s Thanksgiving Halftime Shows This Year
The Super Bowl Halftime Show is the NFL's biggest music moment of the season, but it's not the only one. Watching football is as much a Thanksgiving staple as turkey and stuffing, so the NFL is making the most of the holiday exposure with a slew of high-profile halftime show performers. Over the weekend, they made some announcements: Post Malone will play at the Dallas Cowboys-Kansas City Chiefs game at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas; Jack White will perform at the Detroit Lions-Green Bay Packers contest at Ford Field in Detroit; and Lil Jon will do the Baltimore Ravens-Cincinnati Bengals…
All The Best New Music From This Week That You Need To Hear
Keeping up with new music can be exhausting, even impossible. From the weekly album releases to standalone singles dropping on a daily basis, the amount of music is so vast it's easy for something to slip through the cracks. Even following along with the Uproxx recommendations on a daily basis can be a lot to ask, so every Monday we're offering up this rundown of the best new music this week. This week saw Charli XCX explore a new era and Jessie Murph expand her beloved latest album. Yeah, it was a great week for new music. Check out the…
SNX: This Week’s Best Sneaker Releaes, Featuring The Jordan 1 Chicago, Caitlin Clark Kobe 6 Protro & More
Welcome to SNX DLX your weekly roundup of the best sneakers to hit the internet. We know why you’re here — it’s the Jordan 1 Chicago. For some people, this one sneaker alone is the biggest release of the year and the quintessential Jordan 1.

But this week isn’t just a good one for Jordan 1 purists… there is a new Jordan 11 too! But don’t worry, if you’re one of those rare sneakerheads that…
Coi Leray Teams Up With ‘6 7’ Rapper Skrilla For Her ‘Lick Back’ Remix
If anyone can help rising Philly rapper Skrilla navigate watching his breakout single become a meme, it's Coi Leray. She's been a trending topic multiple times over (to the point it was the title of our cover story about the New Jersey rapper), so it's fitting that she's givng the "Doot Doot (6 7)" rapper her cosign, adding him to the remix of her menacing banger, "Lick Back." The video is likewise fairly short and simple; the two rappers hang out in the studio, comparing money stacks, and watch collections as Skrilla mean mugs in his ski mask and Coi…
Camp Flog Gnaw Has Been Postponed Due To Dangerous Weather Conditions In Los Angeles
The city of Los Angeles and surrounding areas are facing down yet another circumstance of adverse weather, forcing Tyler The Creator to postpone the latest edition of his Camp Flog Gnaw festival. This weekend, an atmospheric river -- a narrow corridor of concentrated moisture in the atmosphere -- is set to dump a historical high of precipitation on Los Angeles County. The heavy rain can cause damaging flooding and landslides, especially with vegetation stripped from mountainsides by January's wildfires (where was all this when those were going on? Come on, weather, get it together!). Tyler announced the postponements on social…
Uproxx’s Joypocalypse Explains Why Renewed Interest In Radiohead’s ‘OK Computer’ Is A ‘Generational Red Flag’
Starting in about the middle of 2025 and continuing to present day, Radiohead has been having a moment. In August, OK Computer favorite "Let Down" hit the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the first time. (Month's later, Thom Yorke said he "fought tooth and nail" for the song to be cut from the album.) Currently, the band is in the midst of a comeback tour that's a delight to watch even from afar. As Uproxx's Joypocalypse explains in a new video, though, there's something about this renewed wave of interest that's at least a little concerning. https://www.instagram.com/p/DRC5iiTkRVU/ Joy states her…
