NPR Tiny Desk Concerts are usually a space for artists to take it down a notch. Instead of that, though, Turnstile went ahead and did the first-ever Tiny Desk stage dive.
The performance, which was shared today (September 10), also features the band drastically reworking their songs to fit the restricted environment. The band leans more on piano and horns here, for example. The five-song set featured all tracks from the new album Never Enough: “Dreaming,” “Sunshower,” “I Care,” “Never Enough,” and “Birds.”
Watch the performance above and find the band’s upcoming tour dates, which kick off next week, below.

Despite having a flourishing rap career, Cardi B has also been hard at work at building a family. While working on her second album, Am I The Drama?, she popped out with not just one, but two kids, giving her daughter Kulture two younger siblings before the project even had a title or release date.
Appearing on The Jennifer Hudson Show to promote that album, the Bronx native joked that she wanted even more kids, giving a hilariously unhinged line of reasoning for the desire. “The more kids you have, the less of a possibility you go to, like, a [nursing] home,” she explained. “One of them is gonna wipe my butt!”
Cardi also explained how she kept the kids grounded despite spoiling them rotten on their birthdays. “They have like a lot of cousins and a lot of my friends, they still outside, they still in the hood and everything,” she noted. “They was just in the Dominican Republic and it’s like, yeah, my grandma gonna make [them] clean and stuff. I want them to know that there’s another world out there that is not your world. It’s not always about [the] backyard, and foxes and deers — there’s rats and mices.”

Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party, Hayley Williams’ batch-of-singles-turned-album, came out last month. The Paramore leader still has more to do on this front, though, as she just shared a new video for “Parachute” today.
The visual was directed, filmed, and edited by Zachary Gray. In it, Williams sings the song calmly in a dark room before letting her energy out by dancing around and running through a field.
Meanwhile, Williams recently addressed rumors of a Paramore break-up in light of her solo work, saying, “We always take huge breaks. In order for us to metabolize sh*t that we go through as people, it takes the amount of time it takes between albums. […] I feel such a vindication in knowing that nobody can discount Paramore. But it’s also really important for me to strengthen other muscles and these parts of myself that I deflated because I was scared that people were going to notice me too much.”

On the surface, Vevo looks like the easy way to check the “music video” box. But Comscore’s June 2025 data tells a different story.
A Few Facts:
UPROXX and Vevo together reach 160M U.S. viewers
UPROXX reaches 145M (90%) vs. Vevo’s 102M (63%).
Nearly half that audience (46%) is incremental — and 79% of the incremental reach comes from UPROXX.
Translation: Buying Vevo alone means paying for an audience you could already get through UPROXX, while leaving an additional 60 million fans who watch UPROXX but not Vevo off your plan.
Uproxx
Exclusive Access
Those aren’t just any viewers. They’re fans of iconic artists like Bruno Mars, Dua Lipa, Ed Sheeran, Cardi B, and Linkin Park – artists UPROXX provides access to as the exclusive seller of Warner Music Group’s official video catalog. Their official drops are the ones fans search for first. Vevo can’t sell them.
Zoom out: every month, UPROXX Studios delivers over 12 billion video views and reaches 160M+ U.S. viewers across YouTube, Connected TV, and social. More than half (54%) of that happens on Connected TV, putting your brand on the biggest screen in the house.
More Than Adjacency
This is why we built UPROXX differently. We don’t just sell adjacency, we create cultural gravity. Our franchises like Visionaries, Sound + Vision, and Sound Check prove it: artists aren’t just talent, their creativity touches every aspect of culture, driving trends across music, style, entertainment, wellness, travel, and beyond. They are the original influencers, and they have an organic home across all of our platforms.
In 2025, brands don’t want to buy adjacency; they want to help create authentic cultural moments with artists who reach the fans who move markets: early adopters, tastemakers, real-time culture shapers. That’s the audience UPROXX reaches.
The catalog is strong. The work is done. The 60M incremental fans are already here waiting for you.
The Oasis reunion tour is spectacular, and somebody who has a unique perspective of it is Matt Shultz, the lead singer of Cage The Elephant. The band are the openers for the North American shows and Shultz spoke about what the experience has been like.
Shultz told Variety said that while he has met the brothers previously, he hasn’t had the chance to get some face-to-face time with them on this tour. He said, “They’re very family-oriented on this tour. I’ve seen some of their kids around, but [Liam and Noel] have been pretty insulated. They’re living a kind of home life on the road, so we haven’t really hung out yet. Hopefully we’ll get a chance to hang.”
He also spoke about being on stage, saying, “The first few moments of walking out on stage are pretty astounding. I went into it thinking the crowd would fill up over time, but the audiences have really shown up early. It’s amazing.”

The first Jay Som album in six years, Belong, is out next month. Ahead of that, Melina Duterte has shared a couple advance tastes and today (September 9) brings another via the new single “What You Need.”
In a new Rolling Stone profile, Duterte spoke about doubt that crept up while recording the album, saying:
For the longest time I remember thinking, ‘Should I just give up Jay Som and become a full-time producer?’ I did have those moments where I was like, ‘I have no business singing… What is going on? What’s the end game here?’ Just classic imposter syndrome. Like, ‘Am I too old?’”
Watch the “What You Need” video above. Below, find the Belong cover art and tracklist, along with Jay Som’s upcoming tour dates.

Welcome to SNX DLX, your weekly round-up of the best sneakers to hit the internet. Well, here we are — the last full month of summer is officially over, the back-to-school sales have begun, and before we know it, we’ll be in the final stretch of 2025’s sneaker season. If you’ve been following this weekly series all year, you’re well aware that 2025 hasn’t been our favorite year due to the lack of drops compared to the last five years.
But we normally narrow our best sneakers end-of-year lists to just 20 entries, so when comparing this year to others, the lack of sneaker drops this year isn’t going to be as apparent. Are we going to care that 2025 wasn’t as eventful as other years when we’re in 2026? Probably not, but we’re still hoping the end of the year will bring some surprises to the table.
We aren’t happy we’re closing the book on August with just seven notable drops, but what is here is capable of being anybody’s favorite release of the summer! Let’s dive into the best sneakers out right now.
We’re still in the doldrums of summer, but we’re starting to get a little hint of the fall season. Case in point, this latest from New Balance, which combines dark forest green tones for an earthy take on the 992. The sneaker features a pig suede and mesh upper with synthetic overlays, reflective accents, and a combination ENCAP and C-Cap midsole.
A great colorway and premium Made in USA construction? Sign us up and bring in the fall season!
The New Balance Made in USA 992 Dark Camo is out now for a retail price of $199.99. Pick up a pair at New Balance.
Made in collaboration with the LA-based street and skatewear brand, Brain Dead, this sneaker features a leather and textile upper with a faux furry-suede flame graphic at the forefoot, distressed laces, graphic insoles, and co-branding. Our favorite detail of the shoe is the way subtle hints of forest green outline the brown and yellow colorway.
The Brain Dead x Adidas Japan Lo Shadow Brown is out now for a retail price of $140. Pick up a pair at Adidas.
Nike has teamed up with the Tokyo-based streetwear brand, Cav Empt, for an outdoorsy take on the new Air Max Dn8. What we love about this collaboration is that the Dn8 is by all accounts, a very futuristic looking shoe, but Cav Empt has brought the design down to Earth by dipping it in a gorp-core aesthetic that reinterprets the design as a utilitarian sneaker.
The sneaker sports a digital camo print with a chilly arctic sheen, embroidered tongue branding, and a bright green and black co-branding on the tongue.
The Cav Empt x Nike Air Max Dn8 Pure Platinum is out now for a retail price of $210. Pick up a pair at Nike.
Kevin Durant’s latest from Nike is here! The KD 18 Soft Pearl and Light Iron Ore sports a textile upper adorned with suede and a mix of gray tones accented by bright eye-catching orange highlights. The KD18 features an ultra-lightweight build, offering quick play and enhanced breathability. It’s hands down one of the best KD’s to drop ever! A future collector’s item.
The Nike KD 18 Soft Pearl and Light Iron Ore is out now for a retail price of $155. Pick up a pair at Nike.
The best Jordans to drop all year have been women’s size exclusives. After decades of ignoring its women’s line, over the last few years Nike has been playing catch up delivering some of the best looks and colorways for small-footed sneaker heads, and quite frankly, we’re totally here for it. The AJ-5 Luminous Green and sail sports a leather upper in egg-shell white with muted yellow-green accents, a black midsole, and an icy outsole.
It’s minimal, sure, but the best Jordans often are!
The Women’s Air Jordan 5 Luminous Green and Sail is out now for a retail price of $205. Pick up a pair at Nike.
Teaming up with skatewear brand Awake NY, this Air Jordan 5 feels tailor-made for New Yorkers. The sneaker sports a deep black leather upper with a speckled sharktooth midsole detail, translucent vents, and Awake’s signature “A” logo cut into the side panel. This sneaker is an exercise in the power of smart color combinations — the way the black, rich blue, and icy outsole combine make this pair a real treat for the eyes.
The Awake NY x Air Jordan 5 Black is out now for a retail price of $230. Pick up a pair at Nike.
A ‘90s tennis classic returns! The Air Tech Challenge 2 features a mixed real and synthetic leather upper, with a padded foam collar for extra support, retro checked detailing, and a mix of clean white and bright and bold accents over a Max Air unit.
To our eyes, the sneaker looks far more ‘80s influenced, and doesn’t exactly scream ‘90s, but the advanced tech is there. So if you like classic designs but don’t like the lack of comfort and support they provide, this might be the sneaker for you.
The Nike Air Tech Challenge 2 White and Laser Crimson is out now for a retail price of $155. Pick up a pair at Nike.
Last month (almost to the day), Rema released his uninhibited new single, “Kelebu.” The high-energy track lends itself to ecstatic dancing (or just cutting loose), so he held a global dance challenge to find out the best routine that goes with the track, with the winner taking home $10,000.
The winners, dance collective POP Boys, appear in the long-awaited music video, showing off their routine as Rema himself performs with a marching band and the camera captures dynamic displays of exhilarating movement from around his hometown, Lagos.
In the press release, Rema explained the inspiration behind “Kelebu,” saying:
Growing up, I didn’t have a phone to create my music taste, my household had different music tastes, I listened to what everybody played. In school parties, we used to dance to a lot of Caribbean and Francophone bounces. We didn’t care about what they were saying cause most of them were not even in our local language in Nigeria. They just kept repeating one word with a fantastic instrumental to back it up, and we all danced. Making music now, I’m reliving those moments by expressing it with my art.
“Kelebu” follows Rema’s early 2025 releases “Baby (Is It A Crime)” and “Bout U,” suggesting he’s got more on the way.
Fornite has become nearly ubiquitous in the eight years since its launch, and is extending its growing domination of pop culture with yet another music collaboration. Tomorrow, Fortnite will debut its first-ever official anthem, crafted by one of the game’s biggest fans, d4vd. d4vd shared a snippet of the song, along with illustrated key art, on Instagram, writing: “i started making music for my Fortnite montages 3 years ago man this is crazzzzyyyyyy.”
d4vd is just one of a growing contingent of music’s hottest rising stars to dedicate a ton of their off time to Epic Games’ addictive multiplayer shooter. For instance, Doja Cat has poured hours into the game and even helped affect in-game weapon balancing after an online outburst about an overpowered item. Even Drake jumped on the bandwagon early, helping the game become the juggernaut it is today.
In return, Epic has helped highlight many of these stars, introducing them to a whole new fanbase via the Fortnite Festival, which has hosted a diverse roster including Bruno Mars, Sabrina Carpenter, and soon, Gorillaz. Artists like Carpenter and Ice Spice have been turned into in-game characters, and Don Toliver even got his own map and mini-game within its rapidly growing metaverse.
So, d4vd’s the latest in a long line of fans of the game to eventually get to do something within it, but it’s fitting that as such a hardcore fan, he’s the one who gets to launch the next big thing in the form of the official anthem. “Locked & Loaded” drops at 5 PM PT Wednesday, September 3.
It’s been over two decades now since Gorillaz dropped their self-titled debut album in 2001. Damon Albarn was in a different stage of his life then, and he thinks that some of his extracurricular activities played a role in his vocal range.
“I can’t quite believe I can still hit the falsetto,” he joked of his voice on the debut album. He continued, “That first record has a crazy amount of falsetto. [It was] definitely… related to the drugs I was taking. I was a much more irresponsible human being. I was hitting some notes I really didn’t think coming back I’d be able to hit again.”
Gorillaz co-creator and artist Jamie Hewlett also said of the project’s future, “For me and Damon, it’s just… it’s fun. We get to do whatever we want to do. Damon gets to make whatever music he wants to make. He’s not in a band anymore, he’s free to experiment.” Summing up the band’s manifesto, he added, “If you have the ideas, then keep moving forward.”
