Leon Thomas' Pholks EP is just days away from release, which he announced with a new trailer starring Issa Rae. The Insecure creator is a disco diva in the short clip, giving Thomas a funk-filled introduction in the style of the television variety shows that showcased some of his inspirations back in the 1970s. "This man will make your liver quiver," Rae declares. "This man will make your bladder splatter. This man will set your knees free." https://x.com/leonthomas/status/1980313102622289936 The two stars previously shared the screen in Insecure, where Thomas played a romantic foil to Issa's fictionalized version of herself.

Kehlani’s Daughter Asks Her About A New Album And Cardi B In An Adorable Interview
Kehlani is all about her daughter, Adeya Nomi Parrish Young-White. The pair has been nearly inseparable, with Kehlani featuring Adeya on social media and in music videos, and even bringing her on the red carpet at this year's Grammy Awards. In a new video for Billboard, Adeya takes on the role of interviewer, asking her mom about the inspirations behind Kehlani's new music, friendship with Cardi B, and the viral TikTok trend sparked by Kehlani's latest single, "Folded."

Jeremy Allen White’s First Album Is On The Way: His Bruce Springsteen Movie Soundtrack
Bruce Springsteen previously said of Jeremy Allen White portraying him in the movie Deliver Me From Nowhere, "Jeremy is such a terrific actor that you just fall right into it. He’s got an interpretation of me that I think the fans will deeply recognize. He’s just done a great job, so I’ve had a lot of fun being on the set when I can get there.” Fans will soon be able to be impressed by White, too, as the film is set to premier on October 24, this weekend. If they like what they hear, they'll be able to listen…

Keeping up with new music can be exhausting, even impossible.

‘Die My Love’: Everything To Know About Jennifer Lawrence And Robert Pattinson’s Dark Drama
Scottish filmmaker Lynne Ramsay initially had hesitations about working on Die My Love, as she felt it tread similar ground to her 2011 movie We Need To Talk About Kevin. But, Jennifer Lawrence, who stars and produces through her production company Excellent Cadaver, ultimately convinced her to take on the adaptation of Ariana Harwicz's novel. The end result was clearly appealing to business types: Mubi ended up securing distribution rights after what was described as a "fevered" bidding war. The star power here doesn't hurt, as Lawrence stars alongside Robert Pattinson. Ahead of the movie's release, keep reading for everything…
Domingo Crashed The Party Once Again For Sabrina Carpenter’s Return To ‘SNL’
Even after all these years, Saturday Night Live is still capable of producing characters that make waves in pop culture long after the original sketch has aired. One of the most prominent ones lately has been Marcello Hernández's Domingo, the subject of Chloe Fineman's character Kelsey's extramarital affairs. The whole thing started with a group of bridesmaids singing a parody of Sabrina Carpenter's "Espresso" and the sketch format has returned a few different times since the initial airing a year ago. Since Carpenter was back as host and musical guest this past weekend, it was essentially a given that Domingo…
Sabrina Carpenter Dropped Two F-Bombs And Sang In Her Underwear On ‘SNL’
Of all the modern pop stars, Sabrina Carpenter is perhaps the most qualified to pull double-duty as host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live: She's one of the biggest singers in the world right now, she has a real background in acting, and she's frequently hilarious. She actually did take over the show in both roles on the latest episode, but there was a bit of what might be called a slip-up. For one of her two musical performances, Carpenter sang the Man's Best Friend cut "Nobody's Son." There's a part of the song where she repeats, "He sure…
Hotels We Love: This Costa Rican Retreat Feels Hand Stitched Into A Nature Reserve
Some resorts show up and exert their will on the local environment. Andaz Peninsula Papagayo slips in like it's always been there — roofs arcing like shells, paths shaded by almond and guanacaste trees, monkeys and coatis writing the day’s soundtrack. The whole place reads as “forest first, hotel second,” plugged into a peninsula that actively protects wildlife and the natural world. That hush is the sell. Pools terrace toward powder sand-covered Culebra Bay, two on-property beaches sit in pocket coves, and a short boat hop gets you to the wider sands of Nacascolo when you want more elbow room.…
SNX: This Week’s Best Sneakers, Featuring The Jordan 1 Pro Green, Margiela X Salomon XT-MM6 And More
Welcome to SNX DLX, your weekly roundup of the best sneakers to hit the internet. The last couple of weeks have been a total surprise — after the incredibly mid-summer release schedule, we had already written off 2025 as one of the worst years for new releases this decade. And then somehow, fall hit, and we’ve been treated to dope release after dope release. So maybe there is time to save 2025 yet! Having said that, this week’s drop list is incredibly short. We’re down to just five noteworthy releases, but we aren’t ready to write off the potential of…
Monaleo Links Up With A Legion Of Houston Legends On ‘We On Dat (OG Mix)’ From Her New Mixtape, ‘Who Did The Body?’
Houston is the hometown of many a hip-hop legend, and that tightly-knit circle comes together to co-sign one of the city's rising stars on her new mixtape. Today, Monaleo released her new project, Who Did The Body?, with its discussion piece single, "Sexy Soulaan." The tape, which features production from Mike Will Made It and a feature from Lizzo, also contains "We On Dat (OG Mix)," which brings together a trio of Houston OGs -- Bun B, Lil Keke, and Paul Wall -- to uplift Monaleo as the city's next major star. With a slow-thumping beat inspired by DJ Screw's…
Jean Dawson Announced His Deluxe Album ‘Rock A Bye Baby, Glimmer Of God’ With The Bouncy ‘White Lighter’
Genre-bending star Jean Dawson announces the release date for his next album with its hot-stepping first single. Rock A Bye Baby, Glimmer Of God, the deluxe edition of Glimmer Of God, is due on November 14th, with a slew of new songs, including the bouncy single, "White Lighter." The new single is built on a funky bass line and a swinging beat, defining Dawson's "ghetto pop" sound (which really just sounds a lot like boogie, the unofficial title of the funk-backed rock/R&B style produced by forebears like Prince and Rick James). "Slow dancing your heart away," he croons on the…
Chika’s Introspective ‘Float’ Says Goodbye To Simpler Times And Lost Loves
One of my faves, Alabama rapper Chika, quietly made her return a few weeks ago with a noodley, lighthearted song called "Stimming." Written about "scovering parts of my neurodivergence as an adult and wishing i could tell younger me that it would all make sense eventually," according to her Twitter, the track marked a decided turn for the former Grammy nominee from the studied precision of prior work to a more free-form flow state. She continues down that looser, more autobiographical road with her latest, "Float." This one is written, fittingly enough, as almost an open letter to old loved…
‘Deli Boys’ Season 2: Everything To Know About The Beloved Hulu Comedy’s Return
If you're unaware of Deli Boys, it's time to tap into the Hulu comedy series: The first season hit the platform in March, so all ten episodes are streaming now. It fared well, too, as the season earned an impressive 96-percent score on Rotten Tomatoes. The performance was strong enough to get the show a renewal for a second season, it was announced this summer. There were tons of twists and turns in the first batch of episodes, so the next season could go anywhere. While awaiting the new season, check out everything you need to know about the upcoming…
Sabrina Carpenter Makes A Fake Arrest And Reveals Her Strange Biggest Fear In A New ‘SNL’ Promo
Sabrina Carpenter has made it a concert tradition to "arrest" somebody, usually a famous face on the crowd, for being too hot. That custom, it turns out, extends to her new Saturday Night Live promo video, too, ahead of her stint as host and musical guest this upcoming weekend. For the new teaser, Carpenter is paired with cast member Marcello Hernández, appropriate given that he played Domingo in the famous Carpenter-referencing sketch. For their first bit, they encourage any viewers who are watching the ad while doing dishes. In the second one, Carpenter declares she "might need to arrest someone…
Skrilla And Lil Yachty Are ‘Rich Sinners’ In The ‘Doot Doot (6,7)’ Rapper’s Latest Video
Okay, finally, I get to write about Skrilla. If you don't know who Skrilla is... I bet you actually do. At least, you know what he's most famous for. Especially if you have kids (those who did are making the Wee Bey face right now, as they realize why their kids have been doing THE THING for the past six months). Skrilla teams up with Lil Yachty -- who, like his mentor Drake, always seems on the cutting edge of musical trends in rap -- for his latest video, "Rich Sinners." The video is fairly straightforward; filmed outdoors at the…
A ‘Kpop Demon Hunters’ Sing-Along Is Coming To AMC Theaters For Halloween
With Halloween just two weeks away, it's time to start solidifying those plans. If you live in LA, there's Janelle Monáe's Wondaween festivities to consider, while Houston, Texas residents can make a play for Megan Thee Stallion's Hottieween. However, if you've got littles, are a fan of musical movies, or just can't get your dream costume together in time, may I suggest a fun alternative? Kpop Demon Hunters sing-along at AMC Theaters. The cinema chain famously refused to screen any of Netflix's previous limited theatrical releases because of the streamer's business model, but it looks like AMC's shareholders are willing…
PartyOf2 Release Their Debut Album ‘Amerika’s Next Top Party!’ With The Surreal ‘Feel Love’ Video
PartyOf2 has released their debut album, Amerika's Next Top Party!, along with the surreal video for their latest single, the groovy "Feel Love." In the same vein as their previously released videos for "Friendly Fire" and "Out Of Body," the video plays on the group's duo dynamic, but this time, pairs Jadagrace and Swim with new paramours. Over a slinky, Kaytranada-produced beat, the two rappers feel themselves as much as they feel love, encouraging the listener to get into the swing of things. Meanwhile, in the video, Jada dances in a trio of ensembles highlighting her fashion sense, while Swim…
Tame Impala Goes Acoustic For An Intimate New Tiny Desk Concert
Given that Tame Impala's new album Deadbeat, which is out today, has Kevin Parker exploring more of an electronic-inspired territory, it might not seem like the best project to get the acoustic treatment. It actually works out nicely, though, as he proved in a new Tiny Desk Concert that was shared today (October 17). Armed with just a bunch of stringed instruments and minimal percussion, Parker and a backing band ran through a four-song set featuring "Borderline," "Loser," "Dracula," and "New Person, Same Old Mistakes." Watch the performance above and find the Deadbeat cover art and tracklist below, along with…
Magdalena Bay Drops Another Pair Of New Songs Post-‘Imaginal Disk’
Last month, before starting a new run of tour dates, Magdalena Bay shared a pair of new songs, “Second Sleep” and “Star Eyes." Now, they're about midway through that run and they've shared another two-piece of new songs, "Human Happens" and "Paint Me A Picture." The duo says in a statement, “Here’s another pair of songs that complement each other. Different than the last, different than the next.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31tRTNwdHyQ Beyond the new music, it's been a good month for Magdalena Bay. They were at the 2025 Austin City Limits festival, where they linked up with Japanese Breakfast to cover MGMT's…
King Princess Shares The New Song ‘Cherry’ As An Addendum To The ‘Girl Violence’ Album
Throughout the Girl Violence era, King Princess (Mikaela Straus) has been plagued by an arch nemesis, Cherry. Now the character is getting the spotlight, as today (October 17), Straus has shared a new song, "Cherry." Straus says of the song, "This song feels like the perfect resolution to Girl Violence -- the cherry on top, if you will. It’s about yearning for someone toxic, but ultimately choosing yourself.” Mikaela Straus is also launching a run of King Princess tour dates later this month. The shows stretch from the end of October to the middle of December and include a month-long…
