during a Vogue cover shoot.They’ve appeared in the hands of modern folk-rockers like Kurt Vile — who was spotted plucking one on the cover of his excellent 2015 album “B’lieve I’m Goin Down.”Seizing on the resonator’s renaissance, guitar giant Fender has launched a brand new take on the guitar, the PR-180E Resonator, as part of its Paramount Bluegrass collection.News.com.au was lucky enough to try one and we can see what all the fuss was about.The versatile axe can be used for traditional and modern music styles and it has a booming tone that accentuates finger-picking.It can be used as a normal acoustic guitar with an added warmth and volume due to its spider resonating cone, or it can be used as a lap steel slide to hit those sweet country swells.You can pick one up for $595 from the Fender website.It’s clear from the rise of the resonator and the fact that Kate Bush and Metallica are topping the charts show that retro is on the rise in today’s world.The fascination of the vintage era, from classic songs re-entering the charts decades later through TikTok or thrifting as a sport, shows 82 percent of consumers feel a positive emotion when purchasing vintage items.It is with that in mind that Fender has today announced the American Vintage II Series, an electric guitar and bass line celebrating Fender’s iconic models through the decades, equipped with authentic specifications and aesthetics for lovers of vintage-inspired style and sound. During the monumental musical decades of the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s, Fender forever reshaped the sonic landscape with its innovative electric guitar and bass designs.“The iconic models in the American Vintage II Series are a near 1:1 comparison with their original predecessors.

My Policeman (2022), starring Harry Styles, is due to launch on the Prime Video streaming service just three weeks after it lands in cinemas worldwide, October 21.

Olivia Wilde might be making plans to move to the UK with her boyfriend Harry Styles, after she reportedly visited a school in North West London recently.The director of Don’t Worry Darlings, 38, has been dating Harry, 28, since they met on the set of the film back in 2020, and it looks like the pair could be taking their relationship to the next level by possibly relocating across the pond. Olivia is said to have visited a school in Hampstead, North West London, suggesting that she is currently looking for a place for her two children Otis, eight and Daisy, five, to attend.

All this Late Night Talking about Harry Styles playing James Bond seems to be nudging him ever closer to donning that famous white tuxedo.The dramatic slashing of his odds to a stunningly low 14-1 follows a flurry of betting this week on the former One Direction star succeeding Daniel Craig, who stepped down from the role after last year's No Time To Die. Nicola McGeady of Ladbrokes said: “Although Henry Cavill is favourite to become the next James Bond, punters have different ideas.The franchise have talked about surprising the audience with their choice, and Harry Styles would certainly do that." Indeed, as Styles' movie Don’t Worry Darling went down a storm at the box office, a new wave of punters really do believe Harry is next in line to the 007 throne.This is a huge swing from the 33-1 bookies were offering only recently.The momentum now means Harry has left fellow one-time 66-1 longshots - Thor's Chris Hemsworth and Star Wars' Ewan McGregor - firmly in the dust.

Harry Styles was given a banner at the end of his sold-out, 15-night run at Madison Square Garden in New York City last night (September 21).The soloist became the third musician to have a banner raised at the venue – a surprise gift that was presented by US TV host Gayle King.To celebrate the end of his residency, the banner was raised to the rafters. According to Rolling Stone Styles wept openly, telling the crowd: “Any time that you come to Madison Square Garden and you see that, remember it’s because of you.

Harry Styles is continuing to break records on the Billboard chart with ‘As It Was’ after the track hit Number One for a 14th week.The ‘Harry’s House’ lead single, which was released in April, is currently in the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart in the US.In turn, it ties as the fourth longest reign in the Billboard Hot 100’s 65-year history alongside hits including ‘Uptown Funk!’ (by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars), ‘I Gotta Feeling’ (Black Eyed Peas) and ‘I Will Always Love You’ (Whitney Houston), all of which spent 14 weeks in the top position (via Billboard).‘As It Was’ marks the longest Billboard run since Lil Nas X‘s ‘Old Town Road’ (feat. Billy Ray Cyrus) remained at Number One for a record-breaking 19 weeks in 2019.Additionally, ‘As It Was’ is the joint longest-running Number One track by a solo artist, joining Elton John‘s ‘Candle In The Wind’ (1997), Whitney Houston‘s ‘I Will Always Love You’ (1992) and Mariah Carey‘s ‘We Belong Together’ (2005).‘As It Was’ is also the first song ever to spend its first 24 weeks on the top three positions on the same chart, with 23 of the 24 in the top two extending its record.In May Styles achieved the rare feat of simultaneously holding the Number One album and Number One track titles with ‘Harry’s House’ and ‘As It Was’, respectively, in a number of countries.Styles and Kate Bush were recently revealed to be the leading acts on Spotify‘s Top Songs Of Summer 2022 steaming report.According to the platform, ‘As It Was’ registered more than 610million streams between May 29 and August 29.

Harry Styles is encouraging fans to vote in the forthcoming midterm elections in the US.The pop star has partnered with the non-profit voter registration organisation, HeadCount, to help to encourage his followers to get involved in the elections in November.The elections will decide which seats will go to the two main parties in both houses of Congress.“In 2020, 78 per cent of the people that HeadCount registered turned out to vote, so we know these artist partnerships are effective,” HeadCount’s co-founder and executive director Andy Bernstein told Billboard.“Having the support of individuals like Harry Styles has a tremendous impact. This is especially important for the midterms, which often receive less media attention than the presidential elections.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Bad Bunny and Harry Styles are back in the spots it’s been hard to force them out of for the last few months: at No. 1 on Billboard’s album and song charts, respectively. But the real achievement of the week may belong to someone who’s hovering below them: country star Morgan Wallen, who has set a record for his longevity in the top 10 of the Billboard 200. Wallen’s “Dangerous: The Double Album” has just established a new mark for the album by a single artist that has spent the most weeks in the Billboard album chart’s top 10: 86. The previous record-holder (per Billboard) was the debut album by folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary, which spent 85 weeks in the top 10 in the early ’60s. He’s also recently passed longevity marks for Adele’s “21” and Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA,” each of which spent 84 weeks in the top 10.

Harry Styles described the central theme of his new film My Policeman as “wasted time”.The Michael Grandage-directed film (based on the novel by Bethan Roberts) sees Tom (Styles), a 1950s English policeman, enter into a love triangle with his lover, museum curator Patrick (David Dawson) and wife, schoolteacher Marion (Emma Corrin). Flashing forward to the 1990s, the trio (played by Linus Roache, Rupert Everett and Gina McKee, respectively) attempt to repair their interpersonal damage from 40 years prior.Styles attended the My Policeman premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival last night (September 11).

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic English novelist E.M. Forster never married, and why would he? The author of “Maurice” and “Howards End” was gay, reportedly maintaining relations with a much-younger police officer over the span of four decades. That man did marry, and history has it that his wife knew their secret. In “My Policeman,” this unconventional arrangement lends itself quite nicely to one of those slightly stuffy yet respectable period pieces of the kind that Ismail Merchant and James Ivory have made of Forster’s novels, jumping back and forth in time between the sexy stuff (featuring Harry Styles, fully embracing the ambiguity of his queerbaiting brand) and the maudlin way it resolves itself so many years later.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter On the stage at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, Harry Styles is a bonafide rock star, brimming with swagger and self confidence. But Styles, the actor, was more soft spoken while accepting an acting award at the Toronto International Film Festival. Styles was a man of few words as he, along with the cast of “My Policeman,” received the ensemble award at the festival’s Tribute Awards on Sunday.  “Thank you so much to everyone here on behalf of all of us for this wonderful, wonderful award,” said Styles, who stars in the romance drama as a closeted police officer. “We all loved working on this film so much. And we hope you enjoy it.”
