Thank you so much for waiting.”Later in the set, V also performed the songs ‘Slow Dancing’ and ‘For Us’. All three songs are cuts from his debut solo album, ‘Layover’, which dropped earlier this month.“For the album, I’ve filled [it] with songs that evoke a sense of fleeting tranquillity, as if they effortlessly pass by and offer a soothing pause,” V said between songs.
“The album resembles me a lot, so please show a lot of interest.”V is the first K-pop idol to appear on ‘Tiny Desk Korea’, which launched on August 25, a joint venture between NPR and LG U+. The new international version of the iconic NPR series was originally announced in July this year.Prior to V, ‘Tiny Desk Korea’ saw performances by Kim Chang Wan Band, Sunwoo Jung-A and the Yoon Suk Cheol Trio.

McKinley Franklin editor She’s not just Hollywood’s new mistress — Slayyyter is officially Hollywood’s “Starfucker.” One of pop music’s best-kept secrets, Slayyyter has been chasing new levels of stardom since 2018 when the now 26-year-old first started releasing self-made hyper-pop tracks on SoundCloud. Five years later, she’s taken on the self-proclaimed title of “Hollywood Starfucker,” a campy moniker she uses to reference her tumultuous ascent in the social hierarchies of Los Angeles. “Starfucker” is also the title of Slayyyter’s sophomore record (out now via Fader Label), a 12-song collection that sees her transcending her pop-centric roots to expose the gritty realities of nightlife and a heightened sense of awareness about fame over racy club tempos.

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music It’s been 17 years since Sean “Puff Daddy/ Diddy/ Love” Combs made a solo album, and he’s more than made up for lost time with “The Love Album: Off the Grid.” In the conversation below, he describes the album as a “Super Bowl of R&B,” and the list of guests bears out that title: everyone from the Weeknd and Justin Bieber to Summer Walker and H.E.R. to Babyface and Mary J. Blige make featured appearances, but it sounds like a Puff album every step of the way.

Christopher Vourlias It’s not every director who gets to turn Cate Blanchett down. Rarer still for a first-time filmmaker from Europe whose arty, offbeat debut — a poetic, surreal, soulful meditation on memory and grief — might have easily escaped the attention of Hollywood royalty. But “Apples,” by Greek director Christos Nikou, charmed audiences after its 2020 premiere at the Venice Film Festival, where Blanchett presided over the main competition jury.
Alissa Simon Film Critic Swedish writer-director Lukas Moodysson is much beloved internationally for films such as “Show Me Love” (1998), “Together” (2000) and “Lilya 4-Ever” (2002). His filmography also includes the mostly English-language drama “Mammoth” (2009) with Michelle Williams and Gael Garcia Bernal, and “We Are the Best!,” (2013), a delightful adaptation of his wife’s graphic novel. His new film, “Together 99,” marks a sequel to his second feature. Why did you want to revisit the characters of “Together” 24 years on from the original film? I wanted to make a movie about the passage of time, but also about the feeling of time standing still.
