“Perfect Celebrity” is just one scenario in which Gaga observes the bifurcation of her identity on MAYHEM. It’s a big enough theme that the album’s various covers feature fragmented portraits of Gaga; in interviews and videos, her look for this era is both blonde and brunette. In “Don’t Call Tonight,” she catches a glimpse ofRead More
Lady Gaga served as both host and musical guest on last night’s episode of Saturday Night Live. Hot on the heels of releasing her seventh studio album, MAYHEM, the pop star sang her single “Abracadabra” in a light-up mirrored box, and performed the first half of new track “Killah” in the back hallways of studioRead More
The musicianship is spiritually maximalist. Avenue-wide choruses and whiplash chord changes flood the senses, essentially demanding these songs be performed live. It’s the ideal accompaniment for a singer who already sounded like a veteran, and whose concerns were less about how she was received by the world and more about the state of her soul.Read More
In a 2019 essay for The New Inquiry titled “On Heteropessimism,” scholar Asa Seresin described a “straight pride parade” that had recently taken place in Boston. A throng of mostly queer people showed up to heckle the event, poking fun at black-and-white striped straight pride flags that looked like carceral jumpsuits with chants of “HeterosexualityRead More
In the past, Coelen has said he wants the soundtrack to “speak to and support the feelings that the people in the show are experiencing.” Case in point: Season 1’s couple’s retreat opens with singer Tom Bromley’s plaintive cut “In Soft Focus” and the lyrics, “I don’t wanna wake up/I wanna spend our whole lifeRead More
Around 5 p.m., an hour before doors, a line of young kids in gothic fits began to form outside Baby’s All Right in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Soon, it stretched all the way down the street. The occasion wasn’t a concert, but a launch event for warungku’s new zine, accompanying a cover story on Swedish rapper Bladee.Read More
A Blade is about responsibility to oneself and to others, and the ways in which those responsibilities overlap. To heal others, you must heal yourself, and to heal yourself, you must confront discomfort. On “Thank You My Pain,” DePlume invites his pain in, sits down with it, proffers his gratitude. “Thank you, my pain/For comingRead More
Back when my homies used to fry me for listening to LUCKI, he was already a veteran of sorts. It was 2019, and I was 17 and gangly, constantly binging Freewave 3 between classes. At the time, most people saw LUCKI fans like the guy who takes too much acid and keeps asking you toRead More
Marie Davidson’s 2018 album, Working Class Woman, spoke the language of industrial labor. This year the cheeky Québécois dance producer takes up a new paradigm: The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, to borrow the title of scholar Shoshana Zuboff’s 700-page critical survey of how giant tech corporations exploit human experience by mining our data. The bookRead More
Yaeji has returned with the new song “Pondeggi” featuring E Wata. The title is a nod to beondegi, the Korean street food comprised of silkworms, and inspired its Andrew Thomas Huang-directed music video in which she transforms into that very bug. Through a series of hand claps—a reference to the schoolyard game that influenced theRead More
