March is in full swing, and this weekend brings with it all of the major conference tournaments in men’s college basketball ahead of Selection Sunday. This month has already seen some wild finishes and Tournament dreams get dashed, most notably Memphis needing a win over Houston only to get taken down by a midcourt heave.
On Thursday, the ACC Tournament rolled on with quarterfinals action as top-seeded Virginia faced off with 8-seed Syracuse. The Orange led by three at the half and throughout the second half it was a tight, back-and-forth affair, but the Hoos managed to pull off the win on the final possession of the game, when they were able to probe the Syracuse defense and kick it out for a wide open three-pointer from Reece Beekman at the buzzer.
This is, indeed, March, and with it comes wild finishes in the middle of the afternoon like this one. Single-elimination tournaments are, objectively, a terrible way to determine a champion, whether for a conference crown or the national champion, but they are intoxicating to watch and there’s no doubt they produce drama that a series format simply can’t match. For that, we’re thankful for tournament hoops and Virginia knows a thing or two about surviving and advancing.
Each week our staff of film and TV experts surveys the entertainment landscape to select the ten best new/newish movies available for you to stream at home. We put a lot of thought into our selections, and our debates on what to include and what not to include can sometimes get a little heated and feelings may get hurt, but so be it, this is an important service for you, our readers. With that said, here are our selections for this week.
The original Coming to America might not be the world’s funniest movie, but it remains pleasant, a world of memorably kooky characters, with the occasional incredible line, like “you all remember him as Joe the Police Officer from the What’s Happening episode of That’s My Momma.” The sequel is the same, more extravaganza than movie, with some of the best costume design ever and the occasional inspired moment — like Wesley Snipes playing a step-dancing African warlord. More than anything else, it’s a movie that’s plain fun to look at, which is a seemingly-obvious but often overlooked quality of a good movie these days. Watch it on Prime Video.
In his review of the film last year, our Mike Ryan wrote, “there’s a scene in Nomaldland so beautiful I gasped as it whisked my brain to some of Terrence Malick’s early work.” That pretty much sums it up well — Nomadland is one of the most beautiful and touching movies we’ve seen in a while. Watch it on Hulu.
Do you want to make Alan Kim happy? You should, as he’s the world’s most adorable child. All you have to do is watch Minari. Not only will you get to enjoy a very good movie about a Korean-American family, including patriarch Steven Yeun, living in small-town Arkansas in the 1980s, you will also bring a smile to make this gosh-darn cute kid’s face. Watch it on VOD.
The thing that makes this Biggie doc stand out from the others is the previously unseen video footage from his pre-fame life. It’s worth watching to see Biggie rapping to the beat of Toto’s “Africa” alone. Watch it on Netflix.
Netflix’s I Care A Lot gave us what we really needed in a complicated lady: more of sociopathic, deranged, and unrepentant Rosamund Pike, who is at her best when she’s playing characters who we can’t stop watching but would never want to see coming our way one day in a retirement home. Seriously strong (and possibly intentional from a casting standpoint) Gone Girl vibes applied to a frightening plight that could hit anyone, and Rosamund did her thing while playing a reprehensible character who’s fearsome but still capable of eliciting audience admiration. It’s a downright diabolical thriller that gives Rosamund’s character exactly what she deserved, and we also got a gangster Peter Dinklage, which always makes everything better. Watch it on Netflix.
Raya and the Last Dragon is the latest film from the storied Disney animation team, and it hits all the classic notes: heartwarming story, stunning visuals, skilled voice work by notable names (Kelly Marie Tran, Awkwafina, Sandra Oh, just to name a few. It’s a solid weekend option for anyone with kids to entertain or anyone who just likes Disney movies and doesn’t feel the need to explain that to anyone. You’re the boss of you. Do what you like. Watch it on Disney+.
Shaka King’s Judas and the Black Messiah is casually referenced as “the movie about Fred Hampton” (played by Daniel Kaluuya, who is fantastic), but that doesn’t really tell the full story. The film’s main character is William O’Neal (played by the also fantastic LaKeith Stanfield), the man who infiltrated Hampton’s Black Panthers as an FBI informant (an option given to O’Neal instead of jail time), later giving the FBI the information that would get Hampton killed. It’s the portrait of a desperate man who did a reprehensible act and had to live with that fact for years, until he couldn’t live with it anymore. Watch it on HBO Max.
R.J. Cutler takes a year-in-the-life look at Billie Eilish’s meteoric rise to pop superstardom, exploring the complex journey that’s taken Eilish to a place as one of the definitive cultural figures of our time all before the age of 20. This is a great time for music documentaries, in general, and this particular option is one of the best, taking viewers on a ride to superstardom in a way we don’t usually get to see. Watch it on AppleTV.
Riz Ahmed is terrific in The Sound of Metal and is a, mark it down, done deal for a Best Actor Oscar nomination. Ahmed plays Ruben Stone, a drummer in a heavy metal band who is losing his hearing at a dramatic speed. As a former addict, he worries about relapsing and checks himself into a shelter for deaf addicts. It’s here he learns to sign and starts to accept himself in new ways. Things get complicated after Ruben has surgery to install implants that, sort of, restore some of his hearing, but now he’s caught between two worlds and has to decide how he wants to live. Ahmed gives a reserved performance (at least for a character who plays in a heavy metal band) as he copes with the anguish of who he was, who he is now, and who he’s going to be. Watch it on Amazon Prime.
For their follow-up to the Oscar-nominated Bridesmaids, Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo made a kitschy comedy about two best friends from Nebraska who vacation to Florida, whether they unknowingly become entangled in a villain’s plot to kill the town’s residents with deadly mosquitoes. Also, the guy from Fifty Shades of Grey sings a dramatic ballad about seagulls. Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar is deliriously and proudly silly in an Austin Powers and Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story kind of way. All hail the silly comedy. Watch it on VOD.

We put a lot of thought into our selections, and our debates on what to include and what not to include can sometimes get a little heated and feelings may get hurt, but so be it, this is an important service for you, our readers.

Wanda Maximoff finally got her due, and this show manages to be everything that Marvel fans hoped for and almost nothing like what they expected. We’re now in Phase Four, baby, with magnificent cameo troll jobs throwing us off the scent of a story that delivers a rather touching medication on loss and trauma with all sorts of witchy shenanigans there to help us actually, you know enjoy the ride. Fun is the name of the game, after all, and all eyes are now pointing ahead toward The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Watch it on Disney+.
It’s very easy to enjoy most ofBehind Her Eyes, and yep, hearing that this show came from the same production house as The Crown makes total sense. The story started out like a seedy-yet-polished cautionary tale with delightful trashiness, and most of the limited series went down easy until, you know, that double-twist finale. At that point, the show takes off like a semi-truck that’s screeching down a cliff and skidding into the ocean. The ending is admittedly infuriating (with several problematic shades at work), but hey, it sure got people talking, and you won’t be bored with this one. Watch it on Netflix.
Murder Among The Mormons is a true-crime docuseries about a series of murders in Salt Lake City in the 80s, focusing on Mark Hofmann, a rare documents dealer and forger. Hofmann is a singular kind of dowdy sociopath, working entirely within an utterly esoteric Mormon milieu. Co-directed by Jared Hess of Napoleon Dynamite fame, the docuseries makes Hofmann feel like a Gentleman Broncos or Masterminds character come to life, and Murder Among the Mormons is not only solid true crime, but a wry glimpse into the kinds of oddballs who have been inspiring Jared Hess characters for his entire career. Watch it on Netflix.
Ted Lassoshouldn’t have worked. It’s a show based on a character with a funny name and a thin premise (American football coach starts coaching English soccer team), both of which first appeared during a commercial campaign. The fact that it’s good at all, let alone this good, is a minor miracle. He’s a sweet man with a lovely mustache and he just wants to help. You could do far worse in a television show. Watch it on Apple TV+.
You might go into this docuseries fully expecting to be shocked and appalled, but you’ll still somehow manage to be more shocked and appalled with each episode you watch. Be prepared to never be able to watch a Woody Allen movie through the same lens ever again. Watch it on HBO Max.
The second season ofDickinson evolved past its quirky “period-drama-but-make-modern” roots to give fans a fascinating look at the price of fame and a deeper understanding of who this talented female poet was. It leaned into its queerness, gave Hailee Steinfeld a starring vehicle that felt worthy of her talents, and brought back Wiz Khalifa in the role of Death. We have no complaints. Watch it on Apple TV+.
A Twink kidnapping; a meta Lifetime re-telling of Chantel Witherbottom with Portia playing Dori; Eliot embracing the right-wing media machine and crafting his own line of bedazzled handguns. This show does it all while also giving us the funniest car chase in the history of cinema. Watch it on HBO Max.
Lupin has everything: Diamond heists, decades-long revenge plots, fancy criminals who are always one or two steps ahead of the detectives who are investigating them, etc. It’s no wonder the stylish French drama became a foreign language crossover hit. Lupin is fun. You should watch Lupin. Watch it on Netflix.
South Park is still on hiatus as far as full seasons go, but they’re filling in the gaps with pandemic-themed special events. The first premiered back in September 2020 and the second, South ParQ: Vaccination Special, hit this week. This news isn’t quite as good as, say, a regular season of new episodes and no more pressing need for specials with “pandemic” and “vaccination” in the title, but you take what you can get. You can watch it on HBO Max.
This is a show that started out as a thought experiment that questioned: “What if Breaking Bad was actually about suburban moms who robbed grocery stores and laundered fake cash through their book club meetings?” This is also a show that has Retta (Parks & Rec) accidentally shooting a Canadian crime boss fronting as a craft store owner in the foot while Mae Whitman and Christina Hendricks take their kids on a late-night stakeout of a crack house. What more do you need to know? Watch it on Peacock.
Following the success of last year’s The Pandemic Special, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone came back with the gang for the South ParQ Vaccination Special, and for sure, distributing a vaccine on this show reflected what’s going on out here in the so-called real world. It was chaos, while also skewering QAnon with the help of Butters. The organic-food-demanding QAnon Shaman was on hand, and South Park did what it does best: skewer absolutely everyone. The show doesn’t always hit the mark, but the creators have shown themselves to be surprisingly adept at hopping on current events as they happen. So yes, they also touched upon The Muppets, which were not cancelled (contrary to the belief of Don Jr.). Instead, the beloved show surfaced on Disney+, although right-wing feathers were ruffled over 18 episodes receiving content warnings for “negative depictions or mistreatment of people or cultures,” as with the episode where Johnny Cash sings in a barn where the Confederate flag is present. Well, South Park put its own spin on the controversy.
Of course, this is not the first time (and not even the tenth time) that Parker and Stone came for Disney. These guys come for everyone, including themselves with their own notorious South Park disclaimer (which already both makes use of and fun of standard legal riders found on nearly every Hollywood product):
“All characters and events in this show — even those based on real people — are entirely fictional. All celebrity voices are impersonated… poorly. The following language contains coarse language and due to its content it should not be viewed by everyone.”
Here’s the updated South Park disclaimer as seen on the Vaccination Special:
“This program includes negative descriptions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures. These stereotypes were wrong then and will still be wrong in the future. Rather than remove this content, we want to acknowledge its harmful impact, learn from it and spark conversation to create a more inclusive future together. Like the The Muppets, this show should not be watched by anyone.”
Who knows if this disclaimer will stand, or if Parker and Stone will choose to revert to their previous cheeky words, but they’ve pretty much copy-pasted the first paragraph of the Disney+ disclaimer. And they did it without further interpretation, too, so it sure looks like they’re making fun of everyone, including themselves. At least we know who they’re roasting below, though…
A few weeks ago, Swizz Beats and Timbaland confirmed that rap legends and Wu-Tang bandmates Ghostface Killah and Raekwon The Chef would participate in an upcoming episode of the popular streaming concert series Verzuz, and today, they revealed the specifics of the upcoming kung-fu duel. Raekwon Vs. Ghostface has been set for Saturday, March 20 at 5 pm PT / 8 pm ET. Fans will have a new viewing option, as well; in the wake of Swizz and Tim’s partnership with Triller, the next battle will stream on the app rather than Apple Music, where it has previously streamed.
While Ghostface and Rae have spent much of the last year laying — typical of the Wu-Tang brotherhood as a whole when they’re not promoting a new album (or squabbling over it) — Ghost did reveal in 2019 he’s working on a horror thriller with RZA and in 2017, he was early on the cryptocurrency bandwagon, so don’t be surprised if he flogs an NFT or two during the show. Meanwhile, Raekwon celebrated the 25th anniversary of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx with a deluxe vinyl reissue, teasing work on a second sequel to turn the Cuban Linx brand into a trilogy. The Wu-Tang as a whole has an elaborately-produced photobook coming out but getting ahold of it sounds like the luck of the draw.
Check out the upcoming Verzuz on 3/20 on the Verzuz Instagram and Triller app.
Piers Morgan feels entitled to push people around, but the second someone pushes back, he runs away. That’s exactly what happened during Monday’s episode of Good Morning Britain when co-host and weatherman Alex Beresford criticized Morgan’s attack on Meghan Markle. “I understand you don’t like Meghan Markle, you’ve made it so clear a number of times on this program, a number of times,” he said. “And I understand you’ve got a personal relationship with Meghan Markle — or you had one, and she cut you off. She’s entitled to cut you off if she wants to. Has she said anything about you since she cut you off? I don’t think she has, and yet you continue to trash her.” That’s when Morgan stormed off. He would leave the show for good later that day.
Beresford, who has been with Good Morning Britain since 2014, addressed Morgan’s decision to quit the show on Twitter on Thursday. “There is so much that could be said. Piers’ departure sincerely wasn’t the conclusion I was hoping for,” he wrote. “Over the last few years, Piers and I have had a lively, cheeky on-air relationship. We both wanted to be on the show Tuesday morning, and from our very public conversations on Twitter, we both knew how strongly our opinions differed on the treatment of Harry and Meghan pre and post the interview that has split the world.” Beresford continued:
“I hoped we could reach a place of understanding. It’s sad that we weren’t able to get there, but challenging his opinion was not an outrage. On this occasion, we have to agree to disagree. I didn’t want him to quit, but I did want him to listen. Personally, Piers has always support my growth. He’s given me advise on several occasions and for that I am grateful. I wish him well!”
Now that is how you handle a disagreement. No wonder Beresford is being hailed as a global treasure on Twitter… although there might be another reason for that, too.
One of the great time-honored traditions of America’s pastime is players suffering really weird injuries. No sport it seems has more players get injured off the field or court more than baseball, and we got the latest example of this on Thursday.
Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton has battled various ailments since breaking into the majors, but his latest injury issue that will keep him out briefly is one that will go on the all-time “baseball injury” lists. Buxton had to have a root canal after breaking a tooth while eating a steak, which the Twins expect him to return from soon, per Betsy Helfand of the Pioneer Press.
Byron Buxton cracked a tooth eating steak and had to undergo a root canal this week. The Twins expect him back shortly.
Before we get into the lineage of strange baseball injuries, I have a few questions about this incident. What kind of steak was Buxton eating that broke his tooth? Was it just an incredibly tough piece of meat? Was it a bone-in steak that he just bit right into the bone? If not the bone, how does one even break a tooth on steak?
Sadly, there is no follow-up information available at this moment about Buxton’s situation, and hopefully he’s feeling alright, although root canals are always miserable so that’s on a sliding scale. Buxton can at least feel some comfort in knowing he is far from alone in the annals of baseball history when it comes to strange off-field injuries.
Just last year Zach Wheeler of the Phillies got a fingernail on his pitching hand caught on his pants while putting them on and had soreness that required a start to be pushed back, and Jose Quintana cut his thumb badly enough doing dishes that he needed five stitches. There have been ribs broken during massages, torn MCL’s carrying luggage up stairs, video game mishaps, and kids injuring their parents. The all-timer, though, is Clint Barmes injuring his collarbone while trying to carry deer meat up the stairs of his apartment building.
Just like the financial world found itself disrupted by online traders organizing on Reddit to force a surge on GameStop stocks, the art world is having its own technology disruption after a JPEG image sold for $69 million on Thursday.
An NFT just sold for $69 million dollars. This will serve as confirmation that we are in fact in a simulation. https://t.co/Yntd77HiPF
The piece, “Everydays: The First 5000 Days” by digital artist Beeple, is a “non-fungible token” or NFT that scored a multi-million dollar sale price after being auctioned off by Christie’s. The piece went through two weeks of bidding, and when it ended on its astronomical price, it became the “third-highest auction price for a work by a living artist.” Beeple’s reaction on Twitter pretty much matched the rest of the world.
As for what the heck is a NTF, here’s a brief explainer via Variety:
In simplified terms, an NFT provides a method of authentication for piece of digital content, based on blockchain technology. It certifies and tracks the ownership of a unique digital asset. In essence, the owner of the NFT gets bragging rights to an “original” version of a digital item… even though that piece of digital content can be reproduced and viewed millions of times over by others.
In a nutshell, think of it as buying an “original print” of a painting, only the painting is the original file for the digital image. And if that sounds like the makings of a very volatile and risky investment, it is. According to The New York Times, NFTs had a brief heyday back in 2017 before the market for them crashed. However, they’ve since come roaring back in recent weeks thanks to Elon Musk’s Tesla company making a $1.5 billion investment in Bitcoin. Somehow, it always comes back to Elon.
Last Friday, Compton rapper YG released the first-ever group project from his label, 4Hunnid Records. The 4Hunnid Records crew, which consists of YG, fellow Compton rapper Day Sulan, and Watts rapper D3szn, connect on Gang Affiliated, a seven-song compilation that runs the gamut from certified G-funk to drill to Latin-inspired party rap. It’s a fitting introduction to the crew, which contains a pair of rappers who are getting their first shot at the limelight courtesy of the EP and the big-name co-sign from one of the LA area’s most recognizable rap personalities.
Day Sulan has had the most experience with the trappings of fame, as she got her start rapping alongside the 4Hunnid head honcho on his 2019 album 4Real 4Real on the song “Her Story.” From there, she even secured her own breakout hit thanks to the sexy video for her and Rubi Rose’s collaboration, “Big.” During interviews, she bubbly and quick-witted, and you can tell she’s getting comfortable. Her counterpart, D3szn, hails from Watts, California, Compton’s northerly neighbor and home to LA’s most densely-packed collection of government housing projects, including Imperial Courts, Jordan Downs, and Nickerson Gardens. He’s released a steady stream of singles since 2019, including appearing on “Blood Walk” from YG’s My Life 4Hunnid but Gang Affiliated will be his first chance to show the world at large what he can do over the course of a project.
Over the phone, Day and D3 explain the impact that YG’s co-sign has had on their respective careers and lives, what to expect from the Gang Affiliated compilation, and what they really think about their boss’s wild sartorial choices.
How did you guys get on 4Hunnid? Tell me your stories individually, how YG brought you onto the label, and what it means to you as a rapper to have YG reach out?
D3: I was doing little freestyles on Instagram and his homey CTE hopped up on my DM like, “You saw him, whoop whoop,” and then like a week later I ended up linking up with YG and then from there it was like… he seen my work ethic and believed in me. So I’ll say about 11 to 12 months later I signed to 4Hunnid Epic.
Day Sulan: For me, to make a long story short, I started off as a dancer. I found music while I was dancing and my old manager at the time, Max Gousse, challenged me to do music. And I challenged myself and I made my first little freestyle video and I sent it to my manager, but I also sent it to YG just because we was cool. And I wanted feedback from somebody I knew was going to give me the real and his response was like, you should me f*ck with me at 4Hunnid.
What’s the biggest impact or what’s the difference that being on the label has had for your life?
D3: That’s a different question for sure. Me and my family come from living in a small house. So, by me able to sign, get them up out the way in like a good environment and stuff that changed. That was probably one of the biggest impacts that could probably come with this, is getting my family out the hood.
Day Sulan: I really wasn’t close to my family like that. And when I started dancing, I was homeless before that. So from being homeless, dancing, and doing something I really didn’t want to do — because it was kind of installed in my head young that that’s what I was going to do — it kind of broke me down. So being signed and getting that first little bag, it really got me back on my feet. I also reconnected with my family now that I’m in a better place. I am signed. I can move a little bit more freely but also have that extra push. It motivates you more when you have a big ass label really behind you and really rooting for you.
What’s your favorite part of recording with YG and recording this project? What’s the least favorite part of recording a project?
D3: I feel like it’s all completed. We done punched in on songs. Like, I go in for four bars, she go in for four bars. It’s motivation. It ain’t no competition. It makes me want to go harder. The thing I hate the most is, we’ll pick songs and sh*t will change the next week or two days or whatever.
You fall in love with a song and then it’s like, “Oh, that one’s not good enough.”
D3: We got everything locked in. We’d be about to shoot this video or do this to this song, then it’ll be like, “No, I think you should do this one,” after we already had it all mapped out and stuff.
Day Sulan: I mean, I love making music in general. I actually don’t have a problem with it. The only thing I don’t like is when I’m not recording. I low-key start losing my mind when I’m not in a studio. It’s weird. I like projects. I like making music. I like the process of eventually perfecting my craft. And I know I’m still new to this, so I still want to just keep making more.
Compton and Watts both have incredible lyricists, rappers who are just legacy, obviously Watts has Jay Rock, guys like that. Day, we got Kendrick, we got Quik. Who are some of the people that inspired you and what kind of an impact or legacy are you hoping to leave behind for your city specifically?
D3: My man Jay Rock got the key to the city. So, that’s somebody I really look up to on some music sh*t. Bro set a standard. You feel me? It don’t get no better than that, to me.
Day Sulan: Honestly, the originals, like NWA, just everybody who came from the city really. I took from a little bit of everybody. I really took the things I liked about this person, took things I like about this person, I kind of meshed it into one. I just f*ck with how everyone has that drive to be legendary that come from out the city. It makes you move a different way when you know these is the n****s that’s on top of you.
If you weren’t rapping, where would you be? Or what would be your ideal career if you weren’t a rapper?
D3: I was playing football, but then after high school, I was really outside, in the hood type sh*t. And then the music came into play. I figured that was something I liked to do. But if it wasn’t for music, I really don’t know where I would be right now. I was on some just regular sh*t, like playing hoops, sh*t like that. Basically, whatever would have popped up in my mind that I wanted to do I would have been doing it. I probably would have still been playing football or something.
Day Sulan: So if I was not rapping or making music, which would be f*cking odd because it’s like my number one love, I’d probably be doing something in fashion. Fashion design and clothes, probably have a few businesses or some sh*t like that. Or I might’ve been a painter honestly. I actually love painting. Painting is like my second love next to fashion.
For the last question, I’m going to ask something fun, but you guys got to understand, I’m not trying to get you in trouble. I just want to know. I know you’ve seen people clowning on YG’s shoes. He wears white socks with church shoes. What do you really think?
D3: Bro is a genius for that type of sh*t. I’mma shoot on you if it’s some wicked sh*t but I feel like that’s part of fashion. He started some sh*t. I think people know the fashion sh*t more than they know about him. Everybody just like to talk. I feel like he a genius with that because every time you see a picture, always a talk. That sh*t hard… That OG gangster sh*t.
Day Sulan: I mean, hey it’s his style, you know… I’m going to mind my business. He like what he like, I like what I like. If that’s his swag, that’s his swag. I can’t judge fashion because, in fashion, we look at strange sometimes, but then you got people like [ASAP] Rocky or Kanye West wear something, and now it’s like it’s the holy grail of fashion.
Any last thoughts you want to leave people off with about the album or about you as a person, about you as a rapper, go for it.
D3: Go get it! Soon as it drops, go get it. Listen to it. Listen to every song. Don’t skip a song. Cause well, you ain’t going to be able to.
Day Sulan: It ain’t that long. It’s only seven songs. [Laughs] So it ain’t no reason to skip. They all bangers on that bitch. Honestly. But you know, we coming and we about to be legendary. Look at us how you want to, but you know, we about to come. We’re coming up on y’all.
Gang Affiliated is out now on Epic Records. Get it here.
Just a week after releasing the charming “Beautiful Mistakes,” Maroon 5 and Megan Thee Stallion take a technicolor tour of LA in the song’s video, which they released today. The video revolves around M5 lead singer Adam Levine driving a pink convertible through a drab CGI cityscape modeled on the streets of Los Angeles. Slowly, the saturation of his surroundings turns up as he cruises, until he finds his car flying over an eye-popping candy-colored coastline, passing historical landmarks like Griffith Observatory and the Theme Building at LAX.
Eventually, Megan flies by in her own floating car to deliver the first half of her verse to the camera before jumping from her convertible into Adam’s to share the rest of their relaxing flight/drive over Randy’s Donuts as the sky fills with multicolored donuts.
The same day as Maroon 5 released “Beautiful Mistakes,” Levine drew attention online for a quote from his interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe in which he remarked that he feels like “there aren’t any bands anymore.” Although he quickly acknowledged that “there still are plenty of bands,” he expressed his wish that they got more attention.
That being said, Adam and his band seem to have a pretty good handle on the direction music has taken, collaborating with pop-rap stars who are in the limelight like Megan and Cardi B, with whom the band collaborated on “Girls Like You.”
Watch the “Beautiful Mistakes” video above.
