It comes ahead of a number of UK festival appearances – including London’s Community and The Great Escape in Brighton – as well as a summer tour of the US in support of Halsey.Speaking of the motivations behind ‘Pink Champagne’, Roberts said: “I wrote ‘Pink Champagne’ because I wanted to have a go at writing a love song but without making it cliche, there’s so many love songs out there and I didn’t wanna be all soppy!“It’s essentially a breakup song reminiscing about the nicer parts of a not so perfect relationship, I think it’s super visual and manages to bring you on a journey with the dreamy vibes.”Watch the track’s official video, directed by Grow Up Sad, below.Having gained fame through TikTok posts about make-up, beauty and art that have received many millions of views, Roberts has since worked with the likes of Yungblud, Zara Larsson, Liam Payne and more.Speaking to NME earlier this year for an In Conversation video interview, she spoke of her upcoming six-track debut EP, and dream of working with Arctic Monkeys.Explaining that she hadn’t played guitar before starting work on the EP, Roberts told NME: “Guitar came to me before I knew that I wanted to ever put music out there.

New York Times pop culture reporter Kyle Buchanan spoke with over 100 cast and crew members who worked on George Miller’s Oscar-winning blockbuster to write the new oral history book “Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wild and True Story of Mad Max: Fury Road.” In the film, Theron plays Imperator Furiosa, a post-apocalyptic warrior who betrays her tyrannical leader Immortan Joe to save the young women he keeps as breeders. But her escape plan takes an unexpected turn when she encounters Max Rockatansky (Hardy), forcing them to work together despite their initial distrust to escape Immortan Joe’s clutches. In interviews, Theron and Hardy said that life imitated art as they had a great deal of animosity towards each other during the early stages of filming.

“Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wild and True Story of ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’” by Kyle Buchanan (William Morrow):Leo Tolstoy’s adage that “each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way” is inverted in the making-of film book genre: They are all unhappy in the same way. Each features a suffering auteur beset by money men, clashing actors, blown schedules and more, all while threatened with professional extinction.Fortunately, Kyle Buchanan’s oral history “Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wild and True Story of ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’” pulls away from clichés by tossing the keys to the filmmakers themselves.
