Stormzy underlines his return with new song “Hide & Seek”

Back and better than ever! Six years after the release of her last album, Anti, Rihanna’s musical comeback is here. 

Back in 2016, Anderson .Paak teamed up with Knxwledge for a duo called NxWorries and delivered Yes Lawd!, a project of velvet-trimmed neo-soul rap that really helped take the edge off the first months of the Trump presidency. Since then, .Paak has become a huge pop star with Silk Sonic, his Bruno Mars soul-pop duo that won a bunch of Grammys recently, so news on the NxWorries front has been fairly slim (save for a linkup on Knxweldge’s 2020 tape 1988 called “itkanbe[sonice].”) The drought ends today, with a new track from NxWorries called “Where I Go” featuring the venerable H.E.R.

The second season of Netflix’s hit series Ginny & Georgia has been long delayed and the show’s star Brianne Howey recently opened up about what’s causing the wait.

Nearly three months after the release of his July EP RED & WHITE, Lil Uzi Vert is back with a new solo single. “Just Wanna Rock” is a change of pace for Uzi, who trades the flamboyant trap instrumentals they usually favor for a thumping drill beat and follows suit vocally, rapping in a lower register than usual.

Stormzy reckons he has penned a song that is worthy of this year’s Christmas Number One.The rapper, who is due to release his third studio record ‘This Is What I Mean’ on November 25 via 0207 Def Jam, said in a new interview that a track on the album could be worthy of a UK festive chart topper.When asked whether he might have a Christmas song on his new album that could hit the top spot, Stormzy told Magic Radio: “Well, lo and behold I’ve got something really special for you guys and do you know why I’m so proud? Because I made this song with love… I just made this song, and it came from the most pure place, I wrote it with an amazing artist. A really extremely gifted artist called Debbie and we made this beautiful, beautiful song, and I genuinely think that…I don’t want to jinx it, but I swear to you, I can’t wait for you guys to hear it.”The rapper recently previewed his new album with the single ‘Hide & Seek’.He also recently opened up about the collaborative process of making the album on Osea Island in the Blackwater Estuary near Maldon, Essex.“That was the most beautiful, spiritual coming-togethers I’ve even been involved in,” he explained.

The song, released on Friday, features Levine singing in Spanish. "Ojalá que cuando él te lo haga, pienses en mi, Ojalá que sea mi nombre que quieras repetir," he sings, which translates in English to, "Hopefully, when he does it to you, you think of me; hopefully, it's my name that you want to repeat."

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Taylor Swift kept the “Midnights” oil going once again with the late-night revelation of yet another new song, with an explanation of its subject matter to match. But this time, indications are that she may keep going into the wee hours and not just call it a night at 12:02 a.m. The new song Swift revealed and talked about as the clock struck 12 on the east coast is “Lavender Haze.” About the song, Swift said in a video message on Instagram: “Track 1 on ‘Midnights’ is ‘Lavender Haze,’ and I happened upon the phrase ‘lavender haze’ when I was watching ‘Mad Men.’ And I looked it up because I thought it sounded cool, and it turns out that it’s a common phrase used in the fifties where they would just describe being in love. Like, if you were in the lavender haze, you were in that all-encompassing love glow… and I thought that was really beautiful. And I guess theoretically, when you’re in the lavender haze, you’ll do anything to stay there and not let people bring you down off of that cloud. And I think a lot of people have to deal with this now, not just like ‘public figures.’ because we live in the era of social media, and if the world finds out that you’re in love with somebody, they’re going to weigh in on it. Like my relationship for six years: we’ve had to dodge weird rumors, tabloid stuff, and we just ignore it. So this song is about ignoring that stuff to protect the real stuff. I hope you guys like it.”

While major films based on video games used to be a dicey proposition, they’re becoming something of an industry staple. Since the financial success of projects like “Detective Pikachu” (2019) and “Sonic the Hedgehog” (2020) shattered the glass ceiling, various studios have greenlit plans for movies and TV shows based on Dungeons & Dragons, MegaMan, Pac-Man, and more.
