What’s that sound? Is it the first song of the summer? Is it “Relationships,” the featherweight, angst-filled new Haim track about a tortured silence in a long-term romance? Is it both, or it could be, maybe, if we just—no, wait, don’t answer that. Produced by Danielle Haim and Rostam, with single cover art inspired (withRead More
Like the drag performers who inform her visual presentation, Chappell Roan knows that playing to the rafters is sometimes the best way to get at something deep and true. Think of how the schmaltzy hook of “Pink Pony Club” accentuates its camp fantasia, or how the bravura vocal theatrics of “Good Luck, Babe!” make itsRead More
509 BMG is keeping two very important hip-hop staples alive: janky Family Guy cover art and jacked reggae beats. On “Special Request to All Nice and Decent Real Niggaz (Stop Hatin),” the short-tempered Orlando rapper lightens up 11 minutes of shit-talking internet trolls with five mellow beats for the bass culture heads. BMG isn’t keepingRead 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
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
A good perfumer will have you know that there is nothing simple about a rose. It is a powerful and incredibly mutable scent, one that can be layered endlessly and constituted from many component parts. Its aroma deepens and abstracts from moment to moment, inspiring vastly different impressions than just the raw stuff of itsRead More
For years when I thought of the music of Trinidad, what came to mind was the feel-good rhythms of soca, steel pans, carnival, and backyard parties. But, like dancehall in Jamaica, popular music there has only grown more eerie, a reflection of the widening wealth gap, increased political corruption, and inflamed gang culture that isRead More
On his main account, Yung Lean raps deliriously about racking up stacks and pills, doing acid at 7/11, being haunted by nightmares of furniture coming alive over starry, frenetic beats. But his alt, jonatan leandoer96, is reserved for more stripped-down, intimate cuts, where he’d sing about dying for someone’s love over a gentle raindrop ofRead More
Maybe like you, I heard $ome $exy $ongs 4 U on Valentine’s Day en route to a weekend trip with my girlfriend. An admittedly less-than-optimal setting; much of Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR’s new collab album traverses the lusty dejection, reversed samples, and bleeding pads of single-man R&B. But then, about 40 minutes into the album, andRead More
Dear Alphonse, Yo, I need advice! Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day and I want to show my girl I can open up, but I can’t find the words. What should I say? Sincerely, Navraj from Canada I got you. For all the terrible communicators out there: The easiest way to express your repressed emotions is toRead More
