Ed Sheeran has a brand new album on the way! We've heard some of the songs from the album, "Azizam" and "Old Phone", and now recently released, "Sapphire". The album, "Play", is described as a return to his big pop sound, and less like his low-key folk sound of the previous two albums. He also mentioned that the album was inspired by global sounds, like from India and Persia, that […]

I'd be lying if I said my day wasn't turned upside down when I saw what T-Pain had to say. Now, if you don't know (which I be slightly judgy about) who T-Pain is, very short history. Who we all know as T-Pain, Faheem Rashad Najm, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer known for popularizing the creative use of Auto-Tune in mainstream music. We've learnt over the […]

Now that the 2025 American Music Awards have officially happened, I've had quite a time LOVING some of the wins, because they were very well deserved. So, this time, I'm not gonna mention all the categories, just the ones I was most excited about.   Here are some of the winners for this year: Artist of the Year Ariana Grande WINNER: Billie Eilish Chappell Roan  Kendrick Lamar Morgan Wallen Post […]

If you've never thought about putting K-Pop, Animation and Fantasy together for a series or movie, now it's been and I'm excited. Imagine if your favorite K-pop stars moonlit as demon hunters. While they’re killing it on the stage, they’re actually killing demons between comebacks and touring. The three idols – Rumi (Arden Cho), Mira (May Hong), and Zoey (Ji-young Yoo) – from the group, Huntrix, use their secret identities […]

BTS's Jin has dropped another new album and the Main Track was so nice to hear, honestly.    According to the BigHit website, "Echo dives deeper into genuine, emotional connection. From exploring themes such as the dynamics of ‘you and me’ and ‘us,’ along with love, friendship, and the crossroads one encounters in everyday life, Jin paints a broad spectrum of universal experiences through his music. Composed of band-driven pop […]

Now, for us Rihanna fans, we've been waiting quite a while to hear anything related to her new album for a very long time. The last time she released any music was for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever's soundtrack with Lift Me Up back in 2022. On her own though, the last album we got from her was back in 2016 with ANTI (which I LOVE btw).    She has been […]

Honestly, when I saw the teaser for this music video, I genuinely thought it was just them in a hot and heavy situation. No context to music or a music video. Then I got the release notification and MAN did they play their roles right.   The brand new Maroon 5 and LISA collaboration was a fun one to hear and listen to. They are basically doing a little bit […]

The 2025 spring exhibition is titled, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," and the accompanying dress code was "Tailored for You". The theme explored Black style and the history of Dandyism. This is also the first Met Gala theme to be solely focused on the male dress attire (looking at suits and tailored items in the same range). The exhibition was inspired by Guest Curator Monica L. Miller's book, "Slaves to Fashion: […]

  Over the weekend of April 25-27, the desert came alive with the magic of BARHP 2025, set against the awe-inspiring backdrop of Spitzkoppe. Around 800 beautiful souls gathered beneath the granite peaks, where dust met disco, and the soundtrack of the weekend pulsed with pure joy.     The lineup was stacked: Digital Sangoma delivered a Saturday sunset set so electrifying it quite literally altered brain chemistry - cotton candy clouds framing every beat. Sets […]
