Sara and Sean Watkins weren't necessarily looking to put out a new Watkins Family Hour album this year. So their upcoming sophomore set Brother Sister, whose "Fake Badge, Real Gun" is premiering exclusively on Billboard today (March 5), is a surprise, but a welcome one.

Tucked away deep in Van Nuys, Calif., Ethan Gruska is working with members of Manchester Orchestra at the unassuming but historic Sound City recording studio, the analog birthplace of such iconic albums as Nirvana’s “Nevermind,” Fleetwood Mac’s “Rumours” and Johnny Cash’s Rick Rubin-helmed 1996 comeback, “Unchained.”

Every month The FADER brings you the best pop songs in the world. Here's February's list, featuring TOPS, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, and more.

Cyrax, a Virginia-based rapper dropped off a new project in Stay Active 2 this week and “Spread,” is an unapologetic banger from a different dimension. Listening for extended periods of time will have the same effect as getting up from your couch too quickly: stars forming in your peripheral vision.

Sophie Allison’s second album as Soccer Mommy is focused on three themes, each with a corresponding color: blue, representing sadness and depression; yellow for physical and emotional illness; and gray, representing darkness, emptiness, and loss. What sounds like a heavy experience is lifted by Allison’s song craft and knack for coming up with killer hooks.

It’s chilly in the morning — sometimes. It’s warm by lunchtime — but not always. Welcome to spring, the season where jackets are nothing short of a necessity.

Nigerian singer Burna Boy has shared a brand new track. “Odogwu” marks the artist’s first single of the year, following a tour announcement last week. Listen to “Odogwu” below.

Ready to mingle? Bella Hadid is single “for right now,” but might not be ready to move on completely after splitting from The Weeknd last summer.

We've been keeping up with Kathy Wakile all summer long as she struts her stuff in a series of show-stopping vacation-ready looks and proves that she can stun even when she goes completely makeup free. And though we've gotten a few updates on Kathy's daughter Victoria as she gets ready to walk down the aisle (her engagement ring is beautiful, by the way), we haven't seen much of her son Joseph since the days when he was cracking us up on The Real Housewives of New Jersey. That is — until now. 

The short stories that comprise Carmen Maria Machado’s Her Body and Other Parties, a 2017 National Book Award finalist, are rife with surreal horror and speculative fiction shot through with sharply feminist appraisals. One of her best, “Especially Heinous,” is made up of several seasons’ worth of faux Law & Order: SVU loglines that tell a disturbing yet darkly funny story about how society creates spectacles out of sexual violence.

Under-fire Derek McInnes claims he could lead Aberdeen to third and Scottish Cup glory and it STILL wouldn’t be enough to win over some of the Pittodrie boo boys.
