Mandy, Indiana’s Scott Fair has launched a new side project called set dressing. Its debut single, the ominous, atmospheric instrumental ‘class valedictorian’, is out now. Give it a listen below.
Mandy, Indiana’s debut LP, i’ve seen a way, came out in 2023. Check out our Artist Spotlight interview with Mandy, Indiana.
Are you a fan of Nordic crime dramas? Then you’ve probably already binged The Åre Murders, Netflix’s Swedish series about a detective who gets entrenched in intriguing investigations.
With a suffocating tone and dedicated performances, it quickly drew in viewers who prefer their entertainment with a side of murder.
The bad news is that the show consists of only five episodes, so you can breeze through it during a lazy weekend afternoon. If you’re clamoring for more, you’ll likely have to wait a while.
The Åre Murders premiered in early February 2025 and made it to the Netflix Top 10 in multiple countries, including the US and UK.
At the time of writing, there’s no news about a potential season 2 – but a solid viewership can definitely translate to more episodes.
As long as that happens, fans of the show can gear up for The Åre Murders season 2 to arrive sometime in early 2026. We’re guessing it will debut during winter. The snowy views can match the weather outside.
The series revolves around Hanna Ahlander, a detective going through a difficult time who moves from Stockholm to her sister’s vacation home in Åre.
Once there, she becomes involved with a case about a missing woman and works with a local police officer reluctant to accept her help.
There’s also a second case as the series progresses, but we don’t want to spoil anything for those who haven’t tuned in yet. As a whole, the show explores themes like trust, evil, and small-town secrets.
The Åre Murders Season 2 will likely continue in that vein, allowing Hanna to investigate more crimes. The end of season 1 saw her even more tormented than at the start of the show, so it will be interesting to track the character’s evolution.
Yes, The Åre Murders is based on the novel series of the same name by Viveca Sten. Season 1 covers the first two novels, Hidden in Snow and Hidden in Shadows. Those have also been translated into English.
Overall, the series consists of five books so far. In other words, there should be enough source material for a potential season 2.
When it comes to romance, Netflix knows how to keep viewers coming back from more. From international hits like Bridgerton to sweet series like XO, Kitty to fun romps like Emily in Paris, it’s easy to find a new show to get hooked on.
With four seasons already streaming, Sweet Magnolias fits the bill. Revolving around three best friends as they navigate through life and love, it’s the definition of a comfort watch. So, when can you expect fresh episodes? We’re not sure, but we bet they’re coming.
Season 4 of Sweet Magnolias came out in February 2025 and quickly made its way to the highest position on the Netflix Top 10. At the time of writing, the show hasn’t been renewed for more episodes.
“We don’t have a Season 5 yet, but I’ve been doing this show long enough that 85% of my waking thoughts are about Sweet Magnolias. So all sorts of possibilities exist,” showrunner Sheryl J. Anderson recently told Deadline.
Given its popularity, there’s a good chance Sweet Magnolias Season 5 will eventually become a reality. If the series follows its current release pattern, it may hit Netflix in late 2026.
Sweet Magnolias is set in the small town of Serenity and follows three lifelong friends. Maddie is a newly single mom recovering after a divorce, Dana Sue is a talented chef dealing with restaurant and personal challenges, and Helen is a determined lawyer juggling her career with her personal life.
As the show progresses, it explores themes related to romance, friendship, and second chances. The friends support each other through thick and thin, which makes Sweet Magnolia particularly heartwarming.
The residents of Serenity went through a lot in season 4 – and while some stories concluded in a satisfying manner, others were left more open-ended. For instance, will Maddie actually go through with her big life change? Are Helen and Erik truly endgame? Sweet Magnolias Season 5 is sure to provide some answers, so we’re sat.
Yes, Sweet Magnolias is based on the novel series by Sherryl Woods. There are 11 novels in the series. In other words, checking out the source material would translate to an epic binge-read session.
A form of violence associated with football, hooliganism is a bona fide subculture in many countries where the sport reigns supreme. That’s especially the case with Poland, where TV series The Hooligan is set.
Debuting in January 2025, the twisty Polish show follows a 17-year-old who tries to navigate the violent world his father has introduced him to. But as he keeps plunging into this danger, he slowly begins to understand there’s no easy way out.
Should we gear up for more episodes? For now, only time will tell.
At the time of writing, The Hooligan hasn’t been officially renewed for season 2. However, it hasn’t been long since the show made its debut. If it manages to build a solid enough fanbase and viewership soars, we might be in for a second installment.
We’re sure the creators can find a way to continue the story, despite the bleak ending of season 1. If that’s the case, new episodes may hit streaming in 2026 at the earliest.
The Hooligan centres on Kuba, a teenager who becomes entangled with a notorious hooligan group. His father was involved with them as well and suffered the consequences, but Kuba still decides to follow in his footsteps.
As he learns more about this violent world, he’s sure he can outsmart the group’s leaders to make a quick buck. He also has his new girlfriend to think about, so his recklessness escalates. Soon, the violence reaches a boiling point, and Kuba’s fate takes a turn for the worse.
Without spoilers, Season 1 seemingly ends Kuba’s story on a sad note. However, it also suggests that the violence is cyclical and that escaping the world is no easy feat. Season 2 could find a way to bring Kuba back into the action, or it could potentially follow other characters. Like Kuba’s younger brother, perhaps.
The Hooligan is original work. Written by Klaudiusz Kuś and directed by Łukasz Palkowski, it’s not based on a specific book.
That said, the series does draw inspiration from real-life issues surrounding football fan rivalries and hooliganism. These rivalries often extend beyond the stadium – and The Hooligan explores what can happen when they do.
There’s something deeply fascinating about TV series set behind bars. From Oz to Prison Break to Orange Is the New Black, they let you into a world you don’t often see depicted on the small screen.
Between the constant tension of the prison hierarchy with its alliances/betrayals and the fact that the characters have more than enough time to confront their past, prison shows make for addictive viewing.
That seems to also be the case for Black Warrant, a Hindi-language crime drama that hit Netflix in January 2025. Over the course of its first season, it delivers an absorbing story viewers can’t get enough of. In fact, we can’t help but ask for more.
At the time of writing, Black Warrant has not been renewed for season 2. That said, the show has a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, which bodes well for its future.
Additionally, more than a month after its release, it still reigns high in Netflix’s Top 10 Shows in India, so people are still tuning in. The more they do, the better the chances for more episodes.
If that happens, however, viewers will be in for a bit of a wait. Black Warrant season 2 will likely premiere sometime in early 2026.
Black Warrant offers a gripping portrayal of life within the walls of Tihar Jail, one of Asia’s largest prisons.
It revolves around Sunil Gupta, one of the jailers, who starts off as idealistic and determined. Once he begins to navigate the prison’s complex power dynamics, though, he’s confronted with corruption and rubs shoulders with notorious criminals, so his morals are tested time and time again.
As long as the series is renewed for a second season, it will likely continue to explore prison life and make the protagonist face intriguing moral dilemmas. We can’t wait.
Yes. The series is an adaptation of the best-selling memoir Black Warrant: Confessions of a Tihar Jailer by Sunil Gupta and Sunetra Choudhury. It came out in 2019 and packed a scathing depiction of the Indian prison system.
As a former superintendent of Tihar Jail, Gupta didn’t hold back when recounting his experiences. Pick it up if you’re in the mood for a thrilling and revelatory read.
There’s so much music coming out all the time that it’s hard to keep track. On those days when the influx of new tracks is particularly overwhelming, we sift through the noise to bring you a curated list of the most interesting new releases (the best of which will be added to our Best New Songs playlist). Below, check out our track roundup for Tuesday, February 18, 2025.
‘Bovine Excision’, the first single from Samia’s upcoming album Bloodless, made our list of the best songs of January 2025. The musician has now shared its second preview, ‘Lizard’, which captures the experience of dissociating from your body at a beautiful party. “It’s painful to stay present, to exist as a real, flesh-and-blood person at a party, after existing comfortably as a myth or a memory,” Samia explained. “And it was even more painful to try not to ruin a party I’d already ruined.”
According to Drive-By Truckers co-leader Patterson Hood, “The Forks of Cypress a real place, a few miles just north of my hometown of Florence, Alabama.” It lends its name to his gorgeously ethereal new duet with Waxahatchee’s Katie Crutchfield, set to appear on his upcoming LP Exploding Trees & Airplane Screams. Hood continued: “A former plantation house, once owned by a cousin of Andrew Jackson, it was struck by a ‘lightning cluster’ in 1966 — when I was two — and exploded into flames, burning to the ground in under five minutes. All that was left were these huge columns, in a rectangle on top of the hill overlooking the meadow. It was right by a very creepy rickety one-lane bridge that the locals called Ghost Bridge. I drove past this (and crossed the scary bridge) every week of my childhood on my way to my Great Uncle’s house (where I spent every weekend). Later, as a teenager, kids would drive dates out to Ghost Bridge and tell ghost stories and make out. The bridge was torn down about a decade ago.”
“I wrote the song as pure fiction, inspired by those great story songs that Bobbie Gentry did, ‘Ode to Billie Joe,’ etc., where she implies a story without really telling it,” he added. “In my head, I heard Katie Crutchfield singing it with me and was blessed that she was willing to do so. She’s one of my very favorite artists and such a lovely person.”
“The song was fleshed out wonderfully by Phil and Brad Cook (who played keyboards, dobro and bass on it), Dan Hunt on drums, and then Kevin Morby put the cherry on top with a stunning lead part.”
Youth Lagoon‘s new LP, Rarely Do I Dream on Friday, arrives on Friday. The shimmering and propulsive ‘Gumshoe (Dracula From Arkansas)’ is its latest preview, following previous cuts ‘Speed Freak’, ‘Football’, ‘Lucy Takes a Picture’, and ‘My Beautiful Girl’. “Someone said my music makes them feel like they died in the forest, and I’ve honestly never heard a better compliment,” Trevor Powers said in a statement. “I don’t think I have a song that’s more suited for that description than ‘Gumshoe’. I usually write out of pure love, delirium, or just to get the devil off my back, and this one checks all three boxes… it may be the closest I’ve come so far to finding real freedom in music.”
DJ and producer Avalon Emerson has signed to Dead Oceans, announcing the new project Perpetual Emotion Machine with a buoyant rendition of Oppenheimer Analysis’ cult classic ‘Don’t Be Seen With Me’. “These songs were created for my DJ sets,” Emerson remarked. “Whether they’re entirely original, edits to recontextualize old favorites, instrumental, or feature me singing, they are all part of my perpetual emotion machine. And the machine steams on.”
Hannah Cohen has previewed her forthcoming album Earthstar Mountain, with a new track, ‘Draggin”, a pleasant tune about how maddening familiar love can be. “There is a universal truth: Water is wet, the sun rises in the east and your family will drive you to your brink,” Cohen remarked in a press release.
Lonnie Holley has shared another deeply stirring track, ‘That’s Not Art, That’s Not Music’, from his upcoming record Tonky. This one’s about “Holley’s early experiences in the art world and larger institutions’ apprehension in accepting Black self-taught art as fine art,” according to a press release. Over horns, flute, and marimba, Holley sings, “Gathering our arts/ Gathering our music/ Incorporating it into song/ Us being rejected/ They were saying, ‘That’s not good enough’/ Not good enough/That’s not art/ That’s not music.”
Anxious have served up another cathartic track from their new album Bambi ahead of its arrival this Friday. “In our music subculture, there often seems to be this dynamic where people stay close to others regardless of the fact of whether they really like them or not,” Grady Allen explained in a statement. “You hear subtle whispers and rumors about what people really think of you, but those feelings are never expressed to you directly. It’s an exhausting social dynamic and one that I am desperate to let go of. ‘Never Said’‘s lyrics focus on that idea. The song came about super weirdly and indirectly. I went over to Dante’s [Melucci, guitarist/co-vocalist] house last winter and we just started shooting this riff back and forth. We started Frankenstein-ing new parts onto it over several months and eventually it just sort of fell into what it was. It was a cool process — we rarely write that way. It was fun to just sort of keep throwing things together and see what happened.”
Melvins 1983 – the incarnation of the Buzz Osborne-fronted band that features original Melvins drummer Mike Dillard – have shared a 10-minute epic called ‘Victory of the Pyramids’. It’s taken from the 34-minute LP Thunderball – out April 18 – which Osbourne described as “the third Melvins 1983 record we’ve made together, and I wanted it to be bombastic. I think we achieved that. I also wanted to do something with electronic artists Void Manes and Ni Maîtres for a long time. Both of them are exceptional talents. Their out-of-the-box use of electronics pushed Thunderball beyond my expectations.”
Erasure frontman Andy Bell has announced a new solo album, Ten Crowns, which is set for release on May 2. “I mean, I’ve got everything I could possibly wish for, you know, I really have, but that’s not to say I’m always fulfilled,” Bell said in a press release. “This album’s about picking yourself up, dusting yourself off, embracing life – and about taking that feeling on even when you’re fighting demons in the world, like homophobia, and fighting demons in yourself. It’s about being celebratory and uplifting.” New single ‘Don’t Cha Know’ sounds like it, too.

Your home should reflect your personality, memories, and values. While mass-produced art can fill an empty wall, it lacks the emotional connection that makes a house feel like home. Custom paintings offer a unique and meaningful way to personalize your space. Whether it’s a portrait of a loved one, a recreation of a cherished moment, or an abstract design that speaks to your style, a custom painting adds depth, warmth, and individuality. Beyond aesthetics, custom artwork can enhance the emotional atmosphere, increase home value, and serve as a lifelong keepsake.
Unlike mass-produced prints that may feel outdated after a few years, a handcrafted piece carries an enduring appeal that transcends fleeting styles. The unique brushstrokes, textures, and artistic details give it a character that never loses its charm. Whether it’s a classic portrait, a breathtaking landscape, or an abstract expression of your emotions, a custom painting holds its beauty for a lifetime. The unique textures and brushstrokes of a custom painting create a depth that mass-produced prints can’t replicate, and according to art-and-see.com, original artwork retains its emotional and aesthetic value far longer than generic décor. Over the years, as your family grows and your home evolves, the painting remains a constant source of warmth, nostalgia, and artistic excellence.
Every family has a story, and custom paintings allow you to showcase yours in a visually striking way. Unlike generic art, a commissioned painting can be tailored to represent the things that matter most to you – family portraits, significant life moments, or even abstract designs that hold personal meaning. This level of customization makes your home truly unique and gives your guests an immediate glimpse into your world. Whether you choose a painting of a special place where you made cherished memories or a depiction of your family’s favorite activities, the artwork becomes a powerful storytelling piece.
A custom painting goes beyond aesthetics by setting the tone for your home’s atmosphere. The colors, subjects, and overall mood of a painting can influence emotions, making a space feel warm, inviting, and harmonious. A bright and colorful painting in a child’s playroom can inspire creativity and joy, while a serene landscape in the living room can promote relaxation. Seeing an image that holds deep personal meaning fosters an emotional connection to your space, reinforcing feelings of comfort and belonging. When you have a painting that evokes cherished memories or symbolizes your family’s journey, it transforms your home into a more emotionally fulfilling space.
Unlike mass-produced art that depreciates over time, custom paintings often gain sentimental and even financial value. Handcrafted artwork carries a level of craftsmanship that makes it a worthwhile investment. If the artist gains recognition, your commissioned piece could be appreciated. Even if its monetary worth doesn’t increase, the sentimental value alone makes it priceless. Custom paintings can also become heirlooms, passed down through generations as a representation of family history. Instead of generic art that fades into the background, a custom painting remains a treasured focal point in your home for years to come.
Your home’s interior design should be a reflection of your style, and nothing enhances a space quite like a one-of-a-kind painting. Custom artwork ensures that your home doesn’t look like a generic showroom but rather a carefully curated space filled with personal expression. Whether you opt for a large statement piece above the fireplace, a gallery wall of family-inspired artwork, or a subtle yet powerful portrait in the hallway, custom paintings add elegance and character. They also create a cohesive design, allowing you to select colors and themes that complement your existing décor. Instead of settling for mass-produced art that doesn’t quite fit your aesthetic, a custom painting guarantees a perfect match.
Purchasing mass-produced artwork from retail stores often benefits large corporations, but investing in custom art puts money into the hands of talented individuals who bring a unique vision to life. Many artists take the time to understand your preferences, ensuring that the final piece is deeply personal and meaningful. Working with an artist allows for collaboration – you can request adjustments, specify colors, and shape the final product to match your vision. Supporting artists not only enriches your home but also fosters the art community, making custom paintings a socially conscious choice.
Custom paintings bring a level of depth, emotion, and individuality that mass-produced art simply cannot match. From telling your family’s unique story to enhancing your home’s atmosphere and creating a lasting legacy, they offer a deeply personal way to decorate your space. Investing in a custom painting means supporting artists, elevating your home’s aesthetic, and owning a piece that holds both sentimental and financial value. If you want your home to reflect your personality, history and love for your family, a custom painting is the perfect addition.

The ability to speak Spanish opens doors to new markets and customer bases, particularly in the United States, where Spanish is the second most spoken language. With over 41 million native Spanish speakers and an additional 12 million bilingual speakers, the demand for Spanish-speaking professionals is at an all-time high. Companies looking to expand their customer base and improve communication with Spanish-speaking clients, employees, or partners will benefit significantly from employees who are fluent in Spanish.
Beyond the U.S., Spanish is the official language in 21 countries, making it a crucial asset for business owners seeking international opportunities. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, sales executive, or marketer, mastering Spanish conversation allows you to engage directly with Spanish-speaking consumers and stakeholders, reducing misunderstandings and fostering trust.
Employers across various industries highly value bilingual employees. Spanish proficiency can make your resume stand out, especially in sectors such as healthcare, law enforcement, customer service, and education. Many companies prefer or even require bilingual candidates to effectively serve their diverse clientele. As businesses increasingly prioritize inclusivity and communication, Spanish-speaking professionals gain a distinct advantage over monolingual candidates.
Additionally, government jobs and multinational corporations often seek employees who can communicate in Spanish. Knowing another language not only enhances your career prospects but also positions you as a more versatile and indispensable asset within any organization.
Mastering Spanish goes beyond vocabulary and grammar—it equips you with enhanced communication skills. Learning to think and articulate ideas in another language improves cognitive flexibility, making it easier to navigate professional conversations, negotiations, and presentations.
Moreover, understanding the cultural nuances of Spanish-speaking countries fosters better relationships with colleagues, clients, and partners. Many cultural misunderstandings arise due to language barriers, and being able to communicate in Spanish can prevent costly misinterpretations. Having cultural competence in a globalized world is essential, and learning Spanish helps you build deeper connections across cultures.
Industries such as healthcare, education, finance, and international trade consistently seek professionals who speak Spanish. In the healthcare field, doctors, nurses, and medical staff who can communicate with Spanish-speaking patients provide better care and improve patient outcomes. Schools and universities require bilingual educators to teach language courses or support students from Spanish-speaking backgrounds.
Financial services and international business sectors also benefit from bilingual employees who can assist Spanish-speaking clients with banking, investments, and legal matters. The ability to communicate in Spanish helps businesses avoid language barriers and ensures smooth transactions.
Business travel often involves meeting with partners, clients, or suppliers from Spanish-speaking countries. Understanding the language allows you to navigate social and professional situations more confidently, avoiding reliance on translators. Building rapport with Spanish-speaking professionals strengthens business relationships and may lead to new ventures, partnerships, or job opportunities.
Even if your work does not require frequent travel, industry conferences, trade shows, and networking events often bring together professionals from diverse linguistic backgrounds. Being able to speak Spanish at such events demonstrates your adaptability and broadens your professional network.
Bilingual individuals tend to have stronger problem-solving skills, memory retention, and mental agility. Studies show that learning a second language enhances brain function and delays cognitive decline. The process of mastering Spanish exercises your brain by challenging it to recognize patterns, analyze structures, and think critically.
These cognitive benefits extend to workplace problem-solving, allowing bilingual professionals to think outside the box, adapt to changing situations, and approach tasks from multiple perspectives. Strong analytical and decision-making skills are highly valued in any industry, making Spanish learners more competitive in their careers.
In industries such as hospitality, retail, and customer service, speaking Spanish can significantly improve interactions with clients. Companies that cater to Spanish-speaking customers benefit from employees who can assist them in their native language, leading to better customer satisfaction and brand loyalty.
For entrepreneurs and small business owners, knowing Spanish allows for more personalized service and effective marketing campaigns tailored to Spanish-speaking audiences. Businesses that acknowledge and respect linguistic diversity often enjoy greater customer retention and engagement.
The digital landscape is becoming increasingly global, and businesses looking to expand their reach must consider multilingual marketing strategies. Spanish-language content—whether in the form of websites, social media, or email campaigns—connects with a vast audience of Spanish-speaking internet users.
Marketers fluent in Spanish can craft more authentic messages, avoiding cultural missteps and ensuring that their content resonates with native speakers. The ability to create bilingual marketing materials and communicate with Spanish-speaking customers via digital channels gives businesses a crucial advantage in an increasingly connected world. But most common Hispanic owned businesses also understand the importance of building relationships within their communities and providing personalized experiences to their customers, which can further enhance brand loyalty and drive sales. Additionally, these businesses often have a deep understanding of cultural nuances and preferences that can help them tailor their marketing strategies effectively.
Entrepreneurs looking to tap into the Spanish-speaking market have a distinct advantage when they can communicate fluently in Spanish. Whether you’re launching a startup, running an e-commerce business, or expanding a local business to a wider audience, language proficiency helps you connect with suppliers, partners, and customers.
Understanding Spanish-speaking cultures also provides insights into consumer behavior and preferences, allowing business owners to tailor their offerings and marketing strategies accordingly. Aspiring entrepreneurs can access new business opportunities by fostering relationships within Spanish-speaking communities and leveraging language skills to differentiate themselves in competitive industries.
With today’s technology, learning Spanish is easier than ever. Online resources, language exchange programs, and structured courses make it possible to master Spanish from anywhere. Whether you prefer interactive apps, virtual classrooms, or traditional textbooks, a variety of methods cater to different learning styles.
For those looking for structured guidance, Spanish Lessons offer tailored learning experiences designed to help professionals develop practical language skills. Investing in Spanish proficiency is an investment in career growth, professional development, and business success.
