The idea of Zendaya portraying Ronnie Spector in a biopic has been rumored for nearly half a decade. Today, Deadline reports that the movie is moving forward with Barry Jenkins, director of Moonlight and If Beale Street Could Talk, at the helm. Based on the Ronettes singer’s 1990 memoir Be My Baby: How I Survived Mascara, Miniskirts, and Madness, or My Life as a Fabulous Ronette, the film will focus on her relationship with producer, ex-husband, and eventual convicted murderer Phil Spector, rather than her full life story.
The movie’s screenplay will be written by Dave Kajganich, whose credits include Luca Guadagnino’s A Bigger Splash, Suspiria, and Bones and All. Zendaya will also serve as the film’s producer alongside Marc Platt, Adam Siegel, Mark Itkin, and Tom Shelly. A timeline for the production has yet to be announced.
Officially returning for a fourth season, Ted Lasso follows months of conjecture and a mixed season 3 finale. The revelation came right from the source: Jason Sudeikis, who co-created the Emmy-winning Apple TV+ series in addition to portraying the charming American coach. Speaking on the New Heights podcast produced by NFL stars Jason and Travis Kelce, Sudeikis confirmed what fans have long hoped: “We’re writing season 4 right now.”
But this next phase of Ted Lasso is more than simply another trip with the Richmond Greyhounds. In a surprising turn of events, Sudeikis announced that the narrative would veer boldly in a different path. “Ted’s coaching a women’s team,” he said. This marks a significant tonal and structural change for the program, even if this fits with tiny breadcrumbs from the season 3 finale — particularly Keeley Jones (Juno Temple) suggesting Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) an AFC Richmond women’s squad.
A Fresh Field to Play On
If the fourth season pivots to women’s football, the storytelling possibilities multiply. Ted Lasso has always balanced humor and heart while tackling themes like leadership, mental health, and second chances. Moving into the realm of women’s sports could bring new dynamics into focus — gender equity, media pressure, and a new generation of athletes — while preserving the show’s optimistic spirit.
It’s a timely move. Global interest in women’s soccer has never been higher, and incorporating that into Ted Lasso‘s world might provide fresh momentum for a show that many felt had already told its story. As Sudeikis put it, “There’s more there… It’s a neat group of people to work with. A wonderful group of people and characters to write around and for.”
The potential to introduce a new team — whether as a spin-off setup or an integrated storyline — gives writers the chance to reinvent the show without abandoning its essence.
Why Roy Kent Still Matters
But as much as fans are intrigued by the idea of a women’s team, there’s one glaring question: who’s sticking around from the original squad?
One name that must remain is Roy Kent. As Comic Book Resources argues in a recent article, Ted Lasso Season 4 won’t work without him. Brett Goldstein’s portrayal of the gruff, no-nonsense coach with a heart of gold has become foundational to the series. Over three seasons, Roy transformed from a fading star to a beloved mentor and now the newly appointed manager of AFC Richmond.
His journey reflects the show’s core values — personal growth, vulnerability, and redemption. And now that Ted has (seemingly) exited stage left to return home, Roy’s continued presence is vital to grounding the narrative emotionally and thematically.
Should Season 4 divide its focus between Ted’s new women’s team and the original Richmond crew under Roy’s leadership, it could provide the perfect bridge between old and new — and offer fans the best of both worlds.
Who Else Is Coming Back?
With so many strong personalities in the ensemble cast, the possibilities for who returns are wide open. Keeley, Rebecca, Coach Beard, and
Jamie Tartt — they each have storylines that could evolve in interesting ways. The season 3 finale gave everyone a bit of closure, but nothing so final that they couldn’t come back for more.
Rebecca in particular may play a pivotal role if the women’s team storyline continues. As a female club owner in a male-dominated league, her involvement in establishing a women’s squad could bring sharp commentary — and genuine inspiration — to the series.
Still, there’s a lingering question: is Ted coaching a new women’s team in England, or is he back in the U.S.? That decision could shift the tone and setting of the show entirely.
Reinvention or Soft Reboot?
Given how neatly Season 3 wrapped things up, some fans are already wondering: is this truly Ted Lasso Season 4, or are we witnessing the birth of a spin-off in disguise?
That depends on how far the writers want to stretch the show’s original premise. With Sudeikis still in the lead, it’s technically the same series. But a new team, new league, and new themes could make this feel like a reboot with familiar faces — not a continuation.
This could actually work in the show’s favor. Rather than rehashing old arcs or dragging out a finished story, a fresh setting allows Ted Lasso to keep evolving while preserving its unique tone.
Final Whistle
Ted Lasso Season 4 may be stepping onto a different pitch, but the heart of the game remains the same. With the introduction of a women’s team, the potential for deeper stories, and the necessity of keeping key players like Roy Kent in the fold, the show has a real shot at surprising fans all over again.
There’s always risk in coming back after what seemed like a finale. But if there’s one thing Ted Lasso has always believed in, it’s that a little faith — and a lot of teamwork — can lead to something extraordinary.
A denim skirt is one of those wardrobe pieces that never goes out of style. It’s easy to style and works for almost any occasion, whether heading to brunch, a concert, or just running errands. But just like with jeans, denim skirts come in so many styles, lengths, and washes to choose from. This means finding which one fits your vibe can be a little complicated, especially if you’re not a skirt person. No worries; we’ve got you covered.
The Main Styles: What’s Your Vibe?
Think of picking a denim skirt like choosing your favorite type of jeans. It’s all about fit, length, and personal style. Here are some popular options:
Mini Skirt – Flirty, fun, and perfect for warmer months or layering with tights when it gets chilly. H&M offers an affordable and stylish mini denim skirt that’s easy to dress up or down.
Midi Skirt – This length is a little more polished but still casual. Works well for both casual and dressier occasions.
Maxi Skirt – Boho vibes, super comfortable, and great for a relaxed look. ASOS has a variety of maxi denim skirts that work for different styles and budgets.
A-Line Skirt – This is a universally flattering shape that gives structure without being too tight. It’s a timeless design that can be worn for casual meetings or more fancy occasions.
Pencil Skirt – Chic and fitted, this is the staple of every office girl. This style hugs the hips and tapers down and pairs well with blouses, jackets, and even tucked-in graphic tees for if you feel like having some fun.
Asymmetrical Skirt – This funky style adds a modern twist with uneven hems or wrap details. It can be paired with sleek tops and boots for a high-fashion look, but if you prefer a less formal loo, add a simple white tee.

Finding the Right Fit
The key to a great denim skirt is the fit. Denim is a unique material that has its tricks. Too tight? You’ll be uncomfortable. Too loose? It loses its shape. The sweet spot is a comfortable fit that makes you feel confident and lets you move easily. High-waisted styles work for elongating your legs, but if you want flexibility to sit and exist comfortably, stretch denim gives you that, with a more A-line definition.
How to Style Your Denim Skirt
Denim skirts are chameleons in your closet. They’re easy to style and always ready to match your mood. If you’re aiming for casual, denim pairs beautifully with a white tee and sneakers. If you prefer the office siren look that is so in now, midi or pencil denim skirt, a tucked-in blouse, and ankle boots will do the job. For the weekend, pair an asymmetrical skirt with a flowy top with strappy sandals. And when you want to channel your inner rebel, go edgy with a crop top and chunky black boots.

Denim on denim
Denim-on-denim is making a comeback, and honestly, it feels like stepping back into our childhoods when doubling up on denim just meant we were very committed to our favorite fabric. Once mocked as the ultimate fashion mistake (thanks, early 2000s), this is now very much not so. The trick? Mixing washes and layering smartly. It’s proof that sometimes, our younger selves did know what they were doing.
Choosing the Right Color
Light wash, dark wash, distressed, classic blue, just because it’s usually blue, doesnt mean it has to stay this way. There are endless denim options. A darker wash looks elegant, while a distressed or acid-wash style is perfect for a casual going out. If you want to add some personality, look for skirts with unique details like embroidery, asymmetrical hems, or even patchwork designs. Look, for example, at this incredible piece from Ermanno Scervino.

A denim skirt is one of those timeless pieces that you’ll keep reaching for, season after season. The key to finding the perfect one? Consider your lifestyle, personal style, and how you want to wear it.
Set My Heart on Fire Immediately was the title of Perfume Genius’ 2020 studio album, and of course, there’s always the fear of burning out. ‘It’s a Mirror’, the confident lead single from his astounding new album Glory that marked a shift from the diffuse grooves of 2022’s Ugly Season, still bows down to the feeling of “a siren, muffled crying/ Breaking me down soft and slow.” But if there is a weariness seeping through the familiarly lush and vibrant tapestry of Glory – which reunites Mike Hadreas with producer Blake Mills, while elevating his backing band of Meg Duffy (Hand Habits), Greg Uhlmann, Tim Carr, Jim Keltner, and Pat Kelly – it’s not at the expense of catharsis, freedom, or indeed glory. The album is tender-hearted and open-ended, loosening into a level of directness that not only feels new for Hadreas, but gives even its heavier subjects a weightless air. “My entire life… it’s fine,” he sings on ‘No Front Teeth’. The affirming going to keeps hanging in the silence.
1. It’s a Mirror
A startingly direct, almost blistering way to kick off the album and its promotional cycle, ‘It’s a Mirror’ tries to beam a path toward personal pleasure and progress: “Can I get off without reliving history/ And let every echo just sing to itself?/ Can I move on without knowing specifics/ While memories hum like a hive shaken out?” In one of the record’s most quotable coutlets, he measures his growing artistic status against unshakable internal insecurity: “What do I get out of being established?/ I still run and hide when a man’s at the door.” The answer he wraps the chorus around is a gentle sigh, far from affirmative yet revelatory in its expanse: every echo, memory, tear, and sickness is mirrored down from every song, film, or person that’s ever captured you. They make as much as stare into you.
2. No Front Teeth [feat. Aldous Harding]
Just how far down does the mirror go? The second song boldly stretches back to “where the starting line is,” juxtaposiing a feathery – even “angelic” feels appropriate given Hadreas’ language a few tracks down – guest appearance from Aldous Harding against the most unexpectedly ferocious and serpentine mix of synths, guitars, and drums that Hadreas’ band could whip up. The singer-songwriter yearns for an untouchable future and past alike; Harding makes it sound within reach, then explodes out of view.
3. Clean Heart
Starting the album with all three of its singles, in the exact order they were rolled out, puts Glory at the risk of seeming front-loaded. But as subdued as ‘Clean Heart’ feels for a single, it claims lines that are big enough to capture the whole project: “Time it makes a clean heart/ When you’re miles away from it all/ And the dream is gone.” ‘Clean Heart’ sounds fittinglyngly hollowed-out and twinkling, until the drums fire it up, then quickly withdraw. It makes time sound like a plunge, one that can drag you down so deep it can cleanse your soul anew.
4. Me & Angel
To call ‘Me & Angel’ a song of naked intimacy would be an understatement, because no one nails a stark piano ballad like Perfume Genius. Thematically, it follows on from the previous tracks to reveal love in all its magical forms: a mirror, a core that holds your shape, a heavenly body that transcends it. Yet Hadreas makes it sound so grounded, letting out a hm at the end of a verse like a smile snuck between lovers in a crowd.
5. Left for Tomorrow
A lot of the melancholy on Japanese Breakfast’s new album, which Blake Mills also produced, is anticipatory, and the same is true of the grief on ‘Left for Tomorrow’ – or at least it started out that way. (Glory is dedicated to Hadreas’ beloved chihuahua Wanda, who died six months after the album was completed.) But it’s also where all the light you might have been expecting from a Perfume Genius generously starts to pour in. Those horns that ascend after Hadreas lands on the titular words? A spectacular moment, whether or not it arrived as spontaneously as it sounds.
6. Full On
Unlike most of the songs on Glory, ‘Full On’ zooms in on one particular idea or image: a scene of wounded masculinity, shot through with affection from a single perspective. Hadreas’ language is filmic, but his voice, accompanied by his partner Alan Wyffels on flute, is right there on the field, yearning for a bigger part. Mills plucks a single guitar chord so insistently that it starts to creak by the end, the song’s fractured heart.
7. Capezio
Featuring the return of Jason, the pseudonymous man from the Set My Heart on Fire Immediately track of the same name, ‘Capezio’ is muddier and more esoteric than other songs on Glory, though more in its humour than its beauty. The interpersonal dynamics are harder for the listener to discern, but it’s not long until you realize the narrator, too, is trembling for focus. Then you kind of feel in on the joke.
8. Dion
It may be introducing a new character – and what a heavenly name – but it’s a closing credits-type ballad that makes you feel like you’re already familiar with the story of Dion. The original demo is so palpable beneath the song’s fragile surface, the musicians only adding subtle flourishes, even as Hadreas sings of a rising storm. “All the light she brought in/ Wanting something different,” he laments. You can still hear it streaming.
9. In a Row
Like ‘Full On’, ‘In a Row’ is granular in its cinematic scope, with Hadreas’ dark humour further peeking through the surface. The narrator is trapped in the trunk of a car, “counting every bump,” but sees this light at the of the tunnel: “Think of all the poems I’ll get out.” In reality, of course, Hadreas’ lyrics hardly come so neatly ordered, and you don’t need to dig so deep beneath the narrative of the song to grasp his actual frustration, which remains all tangled up.
10. Hanging Out
Don’t let the title fool you: ‘Hanging Out’ is not fun in any sense of the word, but rather an unfiltered manifestation of grief, shame, and anxiety, which sounds not only dreadful but disorienting and destabilizing. (“I went to a psychic once and said this but explained to her, ‘I don’t think that there is actually an evil presence’ and she just went: ‘No, actually, I see it.’ That’s what these songs are: what if there was a demon, and I loved it?” Hadreas said in a recent interview.) Even Hadreas’ collaborators, who of course help animate the atmosphere, seem to be playing out their own absence, “tracing every lonely mark,” to borrow a line from the previous song. “I’m four on the floor in the dirt,” he sings with a tenderness that surpasses vulnerability. “I’m chewing his face like a hog.”
11. Glory
“Loosened, roving stray/ Guest of body.” “Now in quiet glory/ Finding shade.” 12 words, in a peculiar order, sung in a falsetto that blurs into the radiant arrangement. It makes you fixate on each small pairing, but especially “guest of body” – leaves you thinking, in other words, about oblivion. More than doomful or dark, though, the effect is contextualizing and, quite satisfyingly, mirror-like: here is the reality of you. Here’s now. Better relax into it.

The perfect prom proposal scored you a date, but now comes the real challenge: looking your absolute best on the big night. Prom isn’t just another school dance. It’s a milestone event that will live forever in photos, videos, and memories. This comprehensive guide will walk you through grooming and style to ensure you’ll stand out for all the right reasons.
Two Months Before Prom
Proper preparation begins long before prom night. Starting your grooming and style journey early leaves room for adjustments and prevents last-minute disasters.
Suit Selection
Whether you’re considering a suit or tux for prom, start planning your look at least two months in advance. When considering your prom outfit, a classic black tuxedo or suit offers timeless elegance, while navy provides a sophisticated alternative that photographs beautifully. Pastel and patterned suits make bold statements and are perfect for fashion-forward prom-goers.
Fit is everything when it comes to looking your best. A suit’s shoulders should align with your natural shoulder line without bunching, and jacket sleeves should reveal roughly half an inch of your shirt cuffs when your arms hang naturally. Your dress pants should have a slight break at the shoe—or no break for a modern look.
Skin Prep
Clear, healthy skin doesn’t happen overnight, so start a consistent skincare routine at least six to eight weeks before prom. Wash your face every morning and evening using a cleanser matched to your skin type. Exfoliate twice a week to eliminate dead skin cells and prevent breakouts. Chemical exfoliants containing salicylic acid work well for acne-prone skin, while physical scrubs benefit normal skin.
Daily moisturizing protects your skin barrier and creates a smooth canvas that will look great in prom photos. Choose a non-comedogenic formula that won’t clog pores, and look for a product that matches your skin type.
If you have persistent acne, ask a dermatologist about treatment options while there is still time for your skin to clear.
One Month Before Prom
Hair Planning
Schedule an appointment to get your hair cut seven to 10 days before prom. If you’re considering a new style or color, experiment further in advance. Prom week is not the time for dramatic hair changes that might not work.
When it’s time for your appointment, bring reference photos of styles you like, and ask your barber or stylist for recommendations based on your hair type and face shape.
Final Alterations
Do a final check to ensure your suit or tuxedo fits flawlessly. Reach out to a tailor right away if your outfit needs last-minute alterations.
Two Weeks Before Prom
The difference between looking good and looking great often comes down to thoughtfully chosen accessories.
Tie Selection
Standard men’s ties work for most proms, while bow ties add formal flair.
Choose a tie that shows off your style, or consider wearing one in a shade that coordinates with your date’s prom attire.
Pocket Squares
A pocket square adds personality and polish. Coordinating with your tie is fine, but avoid an exact match. Instead, choose complementary colors or patterns to bring your look together.
Footwear
Invest in quality dress shoes that complement your suit and will keep you comfortable through hours of dancing. Oxfords are the classic choice for formal events, while loafers work well for more laid-back proms. Black shoes pair seamlessly with black suits, while brown complements navy, gray, or colored suits.
Break your new shoes in before prom by wearing them around the house with thick socks for an hour each day. Blisters have no place at prom!
One Week Before Prom: The Final Countdown
With the big night just a few days away, now is the time to finalize your grooming routine.
Skincare Countdown
Avoid trying new skincare products this week to prevent unexpected reactions. Spot-treat emerging blemishes with targeted products containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. For severe breakouts, overnight hydrocolloid patches can dramatically reduce inflammation. Increase water intake and cut back on dairy, sugar, and fried foods, which can trigger breakouts and puffiness.
Facial Hair Decisions
Decide on your facial hair style and practice maintaining it. Clean-shaven looks require a quality razor and proper technique to avoid irritation. Trim and shape beards or mustaches for definition, and don’t neglect your eyebrows! If your brows are particularly unruly, consider having them waxed a few days before prom. At the very least, tweeze stray hairs to ensure a manicured look.
If you’re new to shaving, don’t wait until prom day for your first attempt. Practice your technique in advance to minimize the risk of cuts or irritation.
Cologne Selection
Select a cologne that matches the season and your style. Fresh, light scents with citrus or aquatic notes are perfect for prom. Test colognes on your skin, not just on paper strips, as body chemistry affects how scents develop. Apply a small amount to your wrist and evaluate how it evolves over several hours.
Prom Day: The Final Touches
The big day has arrived! Now it’s time for final preparations to ensure you look and feel your best.
Morning Routine
Start with a thorough shower using an invigorating body wash. Follow with your established skincare routine, focusing on oil control if your skin tends to shine.
Allow extra time for hair styling. Work with products you’ve used successfully, and have a backup plan if humidity or weather threatens your style.
Getting Dressed
Put your suit or tux on carefully, following this order: underwear, undershirt, socks, pants, dress shirt, tie, shoes, and finally, jacket. This sequence prevents wrinkling and keeps your outfit looking sharp.
Last-Minute Checks
Before heading out, perform these final checks:
Ensure your tie is straight.
Check your teeth for food particles or discoloration.
Pack breath mints, a travel-size cologne, blotting papers for oil control, and a stain removal pen for emergencies.
Completing Your Prom Look with Confidence
Prom night celebrates your high school journey and marks an important step toward adulthood. While these guidelines will help you prepare for the big event, remember that true style comes from within. Confidence transforms good preparation into an unforgettable presence, so stand tall, make eye contact, and wear a genuine smile. When you feel good about how you look, it shows, and that self-assurance will make this milestone evening even better.

Dating in the military is tough and not the usual online dating setup. Soldiers have busy lives: deployments, constant moves, and schedules that change fast. But romance still happens. Military life makes dating harder but also stronger. Online dating helps a lot, letting soldiers meet people whether they’re at home or far away. We want to explain how military life affects dating habits and values and how the internet fits into it. Get ready. It’s a lot to take in!
Understanding Military Life and Its Influence on Dating
Military life is demanding. Soldiers have packed schedules—long training, sudden trips, and little free time. That affects how they date. Time is limited, so they don’t have hours to spend on dates. Online dating helps them connect quickly. It’s fast and simple, letting them find singles near me or wherever they’re stationed without delays.
The military has its own rules and culture, and that changes how soldiers approach romance. They’re trained with discipline, loyalty, and teamwork, and those traits carry over into their relationships. They become dependable partners. But the strict rules and rank differences can make dating complicated. It adds extra steps to the process.
The Demands of Military Service
As we have already said, soldiers have little spare time. Training, deployments, and daily tasks keep them busy. Finding time to date is hard. When they do date, they need someone who understands their schedule is short and unpredictable. Dating a soldier often means canceled plans or long gaps apart. Not everyone can handle it, but those who can build a strong bond. Being apart increases attachment, they say.
How Military Culture Affects Personal Relationships
The military values order is simple: everything has a purpose and a plan. That affects dating the same way as everything else in their life. Soldiers might plan dates carefully or communicate directly. It’s good because they’re loyal and consistent. But it can make them rigid. Partners need to respect the structure and encourage some flexibility. Adding humor helps keep things light.
Challenges in Military Dating
Dating a soldier comes with obstacles. Here’s what they are:
Long-Distance Relationships Due to Deployments
Deployments cause separations. Soldiers leave for months… often to distant places. Long-distance relationships happen a lot. And it’s difficult. Staying connected matters, but time zones and bad internet make it harder. Online dating tools like messaging and video calls help much but it’s not the same as being together, but it beats nothing.
Soldiers come from different places, so partners might have different backgrounds. Some cultures prefer direct talk, while others see it as rude. Learning dating manners across cultures improves online communication. Misunderstandings can upset a partner if their customs aren’t known.
Coping with Uncertainty and Risk
Dating a soldier involves unknowns. They might leave suddenly or face danger. That creates stress. It takes strength and trust to manage. But the risk makes time together more valuable. Knowing their job is tough kind of strengthens the relationship.
Balancing Military Duties and Personal Life
Soldiers struggle to split time between work and home life this can be tricky. Duty might interrupt a date or ruin a weekend. Partners need to be patient. But when soldiers are free, they focus hard. They’re present and committed. They make the most of short moments. Which is delightful and more emotional for the second partner.
Military Dating Traditions and Customs
The military has unique dating practices. And you may want to know about some of them before making a decision – date or not to…
The Significance of Military Balls and Formal Events
Military balls are big events. Soldiers wear formal uniforms and meet others there. It’s a chance to date or socialize. If dating a soldier, attending one is exciting. It shows them with their group, and new people might connect too. The etiquette takes some getting used to—it’s formal. Usually if you’re dating a soldier, you will meet the whole families. This friendship is large and unbreakable, as every wife, every husband support each other and those they live with.
Engagement and Marriage in the Military
Proposals and weddings in the military have quirks. Some units have special customs—like unique ways to ask or celebrate. There are also practical benefits for spouses. Online dating plays a role that many soldiers meet partners online while far from home. It starts with a message and leads to marriage. Not always, though. Depends on what you both are looking for.
The Role of Camaraderie and Community
The military group stays close soldiers support each other. That affects dating. Dating a soldier means joining a network—others help out. It’s useful during deployments or hard times. Online chats and groups connect partners too. They share advice and stay grounded. It’s a ready-made team.
Values Forged in Service: How They Shape Romance
Discipline and Commitment in Relationships
Discipline is part of a soldier’s life. They’re taught to follow through and finish tasks. That makes them steady partners. They set a call for 8 PM and keep it. That dependability feels good in a relationship. Partners know they’ll show up, and commitments stay firm.
Loyalty and Trust Amidst Adversity
Loyalty matters to soldiers. They’re loyal to their unit and country, and that extends to romance. Trust is critical with military challenges. A partner who stays solid is valuable. But rules limit some relationships. Like officers dating lower ranks can disrupt order. Following military relationship regulations avoids problems because no chaos allowed.
Resilience and Adaptability in Love
Military life changes often: new bases, sudden shifts, and more. Soldiers learn to recover and adjust quickly. That helps in relationships. They handle setbacks like deployments, relocations, and anything else we already spoke about. It creates a strong, flexible bond that lasts through tough times.
Conclusion
So yeah, that’s the deal. Dating in the military is rough but rewarding. The job’s demands and lessons shape how soldiers date. Online dating makes it possible, connecting them wherever they are. If interested in a soldier just stay relaxed, adapt, and value the time. It’s a challenge, but it can work out well. Romance might happen when least expected!
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, March 25, 2025.
Superchunk – ‘Bruised Lung’ [feat. Rosali]
Superchunk are back with their first song of 2025, a collaboration with their Merge labelmate Rosali Middleman. “I got a bruised lung,” goes the refrain, but it sounds absolutely invigorating. Mac McCaughan described it as “a song about being disoriented and sleepless and not being able to explain why. Like a hangover but not from drinking. (You look normal on the outside.) Rosali came into the studio to add some woozy shredding and great harmonies.”
Foxwarren – ‘Listen2me’
The Andy Shauf-fronted band Foxwarren is back with news of their sophomore album, 2, which they announced with the mesmerizing ‘Listen2me’. “I know I’m not some movie star/ Reciting some big script/ But if you open your mind/ I might be able to tell you something,” Shauf sings. Better lean in and listen.
MJ Lenderman – ‘Dancing in the Club’ (This Is Lorelei Cover)
This Is Lorelei has shared MJ Lenderman’s version of ‘Dancing in the Club’ for the upcoming deluxe edition of Box for Buddy, Box for Star. It’s really a match made in heaven. “Box For Buddy was by far the album I listened to most in 2024,” Lenderman said. “I had a great time re-recording ‘Dancing In The Club’ with Nate back in December.” Nate Amos added, “I really loved working on the MJ version of ‘Dancing in the Club’—Jake [Lenderman] is chill AF and mad talented. More so than any other song I’ve written this one was dreamt up for others to sing, so it was pretty freaky watching it fall into place with someone like Jake handling lead vocals.”
Samia – ‘Hole in a Frame’ and ‘Pants’
Samia’s new album Bloodless comes out in a month, and today, she’s shared two more singles from it, the hazy, affecting ‘Hole in a Frame’ and the climactic ‘Pants’. “I paired these tracks because they capture opposite instincts,” Samia explained. “‘Hole in a Frame’ is about a fascination with disappearing and the power of absence. ‘Pants’ is about accepting a non-refundable self, social contexts and all. They move from a comfort in the possibilities of emptiness to the reality of existence.”
Perfume Genius – ‘Clean Heart’
Ahead of the release of his new album Glory on Friday, Perfume Genius has unveiled a gorgeously triumphant track called ‘Clean Heart’. It follows ‘It’s a Mirror’ and the Aldous Harding-assisted ‘No Front Teeth’, which made our best songs of January and February, respectively.
Model/Actriz – ‘Doves’
Model/Actriz have put out another single from their second LP Pirouette, the cavernous and ultimately liberating ‘Doves’. “’Doves’ was the first song on Pirouette to have fully completed lyrics,” singer Cole Haden explained. “Initially, its story wasn’t entirely clear to me, but it ultimately became the gateway to the rest of the album’s writing. Within the song, I sing from an empty cathedral, but on a broader level, it explores how a place that once felt like a sanctuary can, over time, become a cage. Ultimately, the challenge then lies in finding the courage to step beyond it. The song is about trusting that the effort to break free is worth it.”
Sea Lemon – ‘Stay’
Sea Lemon, aka Seattle songwriter Natalie Lew, has announced her debut album, Diving for a Prize, with the lead single ‘Stay’, which is both gauzy and groovy. “‘Stay’ was the first track I actively wrote for my record, and is a little vignette of a man I saw in a local thrift store,” Lew explained. “This older guy, probably in his 70s or 80s, was acting as a security guard at this thrift store near my house, but he was basically asleep on the couch the entire time I was there. I couldn’t stop thinking about him after I left, and wrote ‘Stay’ as a reaction to seeing this guy who I felt deserved to take a break. The song became a short story about him, and about how important I feel it can be to have someone in your life willing to telling you to take a step back and just relax.”
PUP – ‘Get Dumber’ [feat. Jeff Rosenstock]
PUP have teamed upwith Jeff Rosenstock for their latest Who Will Look After the Dogs? single, the blistering ‘Get Dumber’. “I wrote “Get Dumber” in Jeff’s basement,” Stefan Babcock commented. “I was house sitting for him while he was on tour. I recorded the first demo for it on his guitar using his mics and his computer. Maybe because the ghost of Jeff was in the room with me, I always imagined our voices on this song together, so I was very happy when he agreed to sing on it.” He added, “We recorded the vocals together, in the same room, facing each other. What that means is, we both had to nail it at the same time because we couldn’t really cut between takes. On the first take, he forgot a line in the second verse and said ‘ahhhhhh, lyrics’ instead. I couldn’t finish the take because I was laughing too hard. Anyway, he practiced singing the correct lyrics but then
we decided those lyrics kinda sucked and he should just stick to ‘ahhhh lyrics’ because it’s funny and the song is called ‘Get Dumber’. We nailed it on the second take.”
Horse Jumper of Love – ‘The Idiot’ and ‘The Car Knows the Way’
Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s The Idiot was one of the inspirations Horse Jumper of Love’s Dimitri Giannopoulos talked about in our interview about last year’s Disaster Trick. “I did actually end up writing a song that was a B-side for that recording session called ‘The Idiot’, so it did slip into my subconscious,” he shared. Today, we get to hear that spectral song, along with another B-side called ‘The Car Knows the Way’. In a press release, Giannopoulos said of ‘The Idiot’: “The song is about stumbling back into your ‘real’ life after tapping out for some time. When you’re in a mentally unavailable state and then you get your shit together, you expect people to have waited for you and to be available themselves when you’re ‘back.’ The first time in your life it happens to you and you realize people have not waited can be hard to face.” He added, “‘The Car Knows the Way’ is about letting the car bring you to where you need to go.”
James Krivchenia – ‘Bracelets for Unicorns’ [feat. Sam Wilkes and Joshua Abrams
Big Thief drummer has shared ‘Bracelets for Unicorns’, another intriguing and wonderfully titled cut from his forthcoming album Performing Belief. It features both Sam Wilkes and Joshua Abrams, with whom he recorded most of the LP.
Gold Dust – ‘An Early Translation of a Later Work’ [feat. J Mascis]
Gold Dust started four years ago as the solo outlet of Massachusetts musician Stephen Pierce, but now it’s expanded into a full band featuring Potty Mouth, Nanny, and the Van Pelt. Today, they’ve announced a new LP In the Shade of the Living Light, whose lead single ‘An Early Translation of a Later Work’ features an incredible electric sitar solo from J Mascis. “An early translation can be groundbreaking, beautiful, and flawed,” Pierce reflected. “A later translation can be defanged of its urgency, but more accurate to the literal text. Neither is necessarily better than the other – it depends on perspective.” He added, “What is any of this but an attempt to translate hazy grey amorphous experience into something tangible, something we can hold and understand? We’re all trying to make sense of a lot of things – things we may not get answers to in this lifetime or at all. Sitting with unknowing, or sitting with the multitude of translations of the same text (as a metaphor for the self, naturally): that’s a life’s work.”
Maria Somerville – ‘Stonefly’
Maria Somerville has unveiled ‘Stonefly’, an atmospheric waltz that will appear on the Irish musician’s upcoming LP Luster. The track arrives with a music video directed by Daniel Swan.
Purelink – ‘Rookie’ [feat. Loraine James] and ‘Kite Scene’
Purelink – the ambient techno trio of Tommy Paslaski (aka Concave Reflection), Ben Paulson (aka kindtree), and Akeem Asani (aka Millia) – have announced a new album called Faith. They’ve shared two tracks to mark the news, the entrancing Loraine James collab ‘Rookie’ and ‘Kite Scene’, which is even more diffuse.
CMAT – ‘Running/Planning’
CMAT has announced a new LP, EURO-COUNTRY, which will be released on August 29 via AWAL. About the relatable lead single, the Irish singer-songwriter said: “‘Running/Planning’ is about having to chase your own tail to be good enough to exist. It’s an abstracted view of societal pressure on women – specifically through a relationship lens: You start dating someone, you get engaged, you get married, you have kids etc etc etc… everything has to follow this linear pattern. (That’s the reason for the repetitive chorus!). And the minute you don’t follow that path, your mam starts giving out to you. That narrow path that everyone is supposed to be on… the minute you get outside of that, it gets incredibly stressful. And I don’t know anyone who is like, ‘Yeah, love this!”
Ain’t – ‘Pirouette’
Ain’t have nothing to do with the new Model/Actriz album, but their first single of 2025 is called ‘Pirouette’. “I wrote ‘Pirouette’ during a period of changes: A relationship had recently ended, I was dating someone who seemed pretty disinterested, and I was moving between precarious flat shares,” George Ellerby said of the dynamic track. “All through this, it felt the band was anticipating and going through change too. It was during a point when the full lineup of Ain’t was coming together.” The guitarist-vocalist added: “When I started writing ‘Pirouette’, Ain’t was just Ed, Jeevan and I; by the time it got to the practice room, Joe, Hanna, and Chapman had joined. It was the sum of all of this that inspired the song’s lyrics. I felt like I was sitting on the threshold of something new and was practically screaming out for it, but I also had parts of the past still clinging to me. Pirouette details the drudgery of break ups and the lethargy that can come with dating, but I feel it’s preoccupied with a sense of something overwhelmingly hopeful and exhilarating falling into place.”
Laura Jane Grace in the Trauma Tropes – ‘Mine Me Mine’
Laura Jane Grace’s recently launched band Laura Jane Grace in the Trauma Tropes – featuring her wife Paris Campbell Grace on vocals, Jacopo Fokas on bass, and Orestis Lagadinos on drums – have announced a new album, Adventure Club. They’ve also shared the snappy ‘Mine Me Mine’, which follows last month’s ‘Your God (God’s D*ck)’/
Harmony – ‘Where Strangers Go’
Harmony, formerly of Girlpool, has released a new song, ‘Where Strangers Go’, which is sparser than anything on her 2024 debut Gossip. According to Tividad, it’s “about the infinitely changing nature of life and trying to make peace with it,” which all of us strangers can relate to.
Allison Russell – ‘Superlover’ [feat. Annie Lennox]
Allison Russell has teamed up with Annie Lennox for a new single, ‘Superlover’, which also features Wendy & Lisa and Russell’s Rainbow Coalition band. Russell shared, “This song is a prayer. This song is a protection spell. This song is a plea. This song is a belief. This song is a question. Are you a Superlover?”
Sparklmami – ‘Touch’
Sparklmami, the moniker of Ariella Granados, has dropped a new song called ‘Touch’. The delightfully slinky, alluring track was recorded with Chicago group Les Sons Du Cosmo.
Clothing – ‘Destituir’
Clothing, aka Santi Ropa, has unveiled ‘Destituir’, the final single ahead of the release of their debut album La Muerte en Realidad no Existe on Friday. Ropa described The Wall-invoking track as “a self empowerment song about devouring the world,” adding: “Look into the mirror and accept yourself, look at the wounds in your body, a reminder that you weren’t meant to be unscathed.”
Wilby – ‘Pleaser’ and ‘Spin’
Maria Crawford, who records as Wilby, has made her label debut with two new songs, the driving ‘Pleaser’ and more reflective ‘Spin’, out now via Hit the North Records. “‘Pleaser’ is a reflection on the fine line between love and submission, comfortability and control, and how sometimes the desire to please can cloud the safeness of a relationship,” Crawford explained. “With ‘Spin’, I’ve always been someone who gravitates toward the harder path and struggles to truly celebrate my wins. This song is a reflection of that inner conflict—the part of me that feels like things only have value if they’re hard, even when I’ve worked so hard to get to a place of accomplishment.”
Soot Sprite – ‘Days After Days’
Exeter trio Soot Sprite have released ‘Days After Days’, the second single from their upcoming full-length Wield Your Hope Like a Weapon. It’s less memorably titled than ‘All My Friends Are Depressed’, but just as good – and focusing on the good, in fact. “It’s about facing the endless horrors of the world and remembering to pay attention to the good,” the group’s Elise Cook expounded. “People on the ground, activism, and remembering that we shouldn’t be hardened by everything we witness or we can lose empathy. And it feels like without empathy we’ll never be able to achieve class consciousness, and lose our sense of community.”
