If Addison Rae hasn’t won you over yet, she will by June 6. That’s the day her new album comes out, as she revealed in a very, ahem, cheeky way at Coachella. The “High Fashion” singer was a surprise guest during Arca’s performance over the weekend. After performing “Aquamarine / Arcamarine,” Rae turned around to reveal the words “June 6th” written on her underwear.

The title and tracklist for the album have yet to be released.

Last year, Rae spoke to Rolling Stone about how Charli XCX (who also played Coachella) encouraged and inspired her. “[Charli] respected me and my ideas,” she said. “It was the first time I really took the step on my own to be confident in the ideas I had and follow that. I owe that all to Charli.”

The “Von Dutch” singer has referred to Rae (who she enlisted for Brat And It’s Completely Different But Also Still Brat) as a “f*cking genius,” while Rosalía called her “the absolute project manager of her work and has a very clear vision of what she’s creating,” adding, “Her choreographies seem so beautiful to me. I love how she brings the 2000s American pop star back to these days.”

You can see the album reveal here.

Post Malone’s pivot into country music has been a success, as his first album in the genre, 2024’s F-1 Trillion, was a No. 1 hit, and he also landed a chart-topping single with the Morgan Wallen collaboration “I Had Some Help.”

Well, there’s good news for fans of Posty’s new era: He has a new country album in the works, as he confirmed with Billboard.

He noted that he’s made two trips to Nashville to work on the project with collaborators like Ernest, Hardy, and Thomas Rhett, saying, “We just have fun. We just sit and f*cking talk and make songs. And so I’m pretty excited for the new record already.” Malone also said he’s “made probably 35 songs; it’s just a matter of which ones rock and which ones sock.”

He revealed that his band has already done some recording “and they’re f*cking killing it,” continuing, “I sit there and listen to these songs, and I usually hate listening to my music, but listening to the band play, I get so excited.”

Malone also said of his albums Twelve Carat Toothache and Austin, and how they relate to his newer material:

“[They weren’t] really… I don’t want to say not well received, but, you know, it was something that I had to do. We just slowed everything down and that’s kind of what I was going through at that point. And [F-1 Trillion] was just f*cking b*tching. It was so fun to make. And I said in an interview a while ago, ‘When I’m 30 years old, I’m gonna make a country record.’ And I made it at 29, so I wasn’t too far off. But you know, it just happened naturally. I was like, ‘F*ck it, let’s go to Nashville. Let’s give it a go.’ I think finally bringing the fun back into what I was doing really showed on the record. And I think a lot of folks had fun listening to it. And we’re going to attempt to do it again. I’m excited to keep going.”

The first trailer for Ari Aster’s new movie Eddington is here.

The A24 film takes place during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, May 2020. It follows a standoff between a small-town sheriff (played Joaquin Phoenix) and mayor (Pedro Pascal), which pits neighbor against neighbor in Eddington, New Mexico. The teaser, which you can watch above, establishes the plot by having Phoenix’s character aimlessly doomscrolling through Instagram in the middle of the night. Relatable!

Eddington is Aster and Phoenix’s second movie together, after 2023’s misunderstood Beau Is Afraid. But it’s another Oscar nominee’s introduction to the Ari-verse. “I don’t want to give much away as far as the story and character go, but it was a wild adventure that I got to go on,” Austin Butler told The Hollywood Reporter about the film. “I got to play a character who’s very different from anything that I’ve done.”

He continued, “Ari and I have been friends for a little bit, and it was great to see him on set. He is such an incredible filmmaker, and he has such confidence and such a sense of humor and wild imagination. I truly loved working with him.”

Eddington, which also stars Emma Stone, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O’Connell, Micheal Ward, Clifton Collins Jr., William Belleau, Cameron Mann, Matt Gomez Hidaka, and Amélie Hoeferle, opens in theaters on July 18.

The first weekend of Coachella 2025 is officially in the books and there were plenty of highlights: Clairo featuring Bernie Sanders, d4vd’s attempt at a backflip, Lady Gaga going all out, and of course, Megan Thee Stallion.

Meg was one of the final performers yesterday (April 13), but she wasn’t the only one on stage at the time, as she peppered guests throughout her set. A few songs in, she welcomed Spiritbox singer Courtney LaPlante to perform their collaboration “TYG.” Elsewhere, she also did multiple songs with Queen Latifah, Ciara, and Victoria Monét.

As Rolling Stone notes, Megan also overcame a technical issue during the set: Something went wrong with her microphone, but ultimately, the issue was quickly fixed and Meg continued, unfazed.

A new era of Lizzo has arrived. So, yesterday (April 13) during the “Pink (Bad Day)” singer’s appearance on Saturday Night Live Lizzo released something from her music vault.

For her first performance of the evening, Lizzo delivered a medley of her recent singles “Love In Real Life” and “Still Bad” all while paying tribute to several Black music legends.

To close out her stint as SNL’s musical guest, Lizzo debuted a new song, “Don’t Make Me Love You,” which could be her next Love In Real Life single. On the heartfelt ballad Lizzo demands that her emotional investment into her lover be properly honored.

“Oh, here we go / You’re playing with me feelings, you’re playing with my soul / But I can’t let you go / I just wanna be wanted and feel beautiful / You better know what you want / If it ain’t me / Don’t make me love you / Don’t make my heart beat outta my chest,” she sang.

Although Lizzo is known for her pop bangers, “Don’t Make Me Love You” leans more soft rock, which is fitting as the track’s melody immediately pulled in sonic comparisons to the late Tina Turner’s “Simply The Best.”

Lizzo has not announced her forthcoming album’s expected release date. But Lizzo’s SNL track premiere suggests it could be revealed soon.

Watch Lizzo’s performance of “Don’t Make Me Love You” on Saturday Night Live above.

When Lizzo revealed she nearly started a rock band with bestie SZA and Kehlani users online took it as a joke. But the “Pink (Bad Day)” singer’s confession was quite true. Yesterday (April 12), Lizzo gave Saturday Night Live viewers a preview of what could have been.

Lizzo went full rock star For her first performance as the late night show’s musical guest. The live medley of singles “Love In Real Life” and “Still Bad,” proved that Lizzo has everything necessary to transition into the genre.

But instead of focusing on her musical prowess, Lizzo sneak in several subtle nods to other Black music icons across sonic spaces. Opening the set with background singers coordinated in the Black Liberation Flag color scheme, Lizzo ensured the unifying message was loud and clear. With a decked out custom electronic guitar strapped to her chest and a pronounced perfectly fluffed afro, Lizzo seemed to pay tribute to two late musicians–Betty Davis and Jimi Hendrix. As Lizzo’s distressed fishnet tights delivered flashback to the late Tina Turner.

Later in the set as Lizzo was joined by an army of background dancers, the references to Janet Jackson’s iconic “Rhythm Nation” music video could not be missed. Whether Lizzo’s SNL performance served as a sonic sample of her forthcoming album or just preparation for her role as rock and roll’s godmother Sister Rosetta Tharpe viewers at home loved it.

Doja Cat’s next studio album is ready to go, or so it appears. In February, the “Masc” rapper formerly announced, Vie. Since then, fans of the Grammy Award-winner have monitored her official social media pages for updates regarding the forthcoming body of work.

Today (April 13), Doja Cat gave supporters something to discuss posting the working tracklist for Vie on X (formerly Twitter). The screenshot image included a list of 16 unreleased songs. Fans quickly identified a few song titles as previously teased tunes. However, one of Doja’s most requested snippet (“Crack”) did not make the cut.

In her upload, Doja acknowledged its absence, writing: “Don’t ask me where ‘Crack’ is [right now].”

Over on Instagram, Doja played a preview of the track “Jealous Type.” Last month during a broadcast, Doja Cat previewed several songs expected to appear on the project including “Lipstain,” and “Acts Of Service.”

Doja Cat first shared a handful of song titles back in November. Fans hope this means the album is on the way. But Doja Cat’s frequent updates during the pre-Scarlet era has trained them to be prepared for last minute modifications.

Coachella is known as the go-to desert destination for music, food, and fashion. Every so often a featured act uses their set time to platform a social cause they’re passionate about. Yesterday (April 12), Clairo did just that during her Coachella 2025 performance.

Before taking the “Nomad” singer sang a note, the crowd was greeted by Senator Bernie Sanders. The Vermont representative used his time in front of the festivalgoers to remind them of their political power.

In a speech (viewable here), Sanders urged attendees to fight back against corruption on all levels. The message sparked a thunderous applause from the crowd. Even users online expressed their support of Sanders’ words.

Sanders followed up his Coachella with a closing statement on X (formerly Twitter). “Thank you, Coachella,” wrote Sanders. “I enjoyed introducing the great Clairo tonight.”

He closed with reference to the country’ current political landscape. “These are tough times,” he chimed. “The younger generation has to help lead in the fight to combat climate change, protect women’s rights, and build an economy that works for all, not just the few.”

Most inspiring stories start with bouncing back after a hard stumble. But an epic fall can also serve as an important lesson. D4vd learned this during his set at Coachella 2025.

On the festival’s opening day (April 11), in an attempt to hype up the crowd D4vd showed off his gymnastics skills. Unfortunately, the “My House Is Not A Home” singer’s aerial stunt failed miserably. In a now-viral clip (viewable here), D4vd face-planted after launching into a backflip.

Initially, fans were concerned after hearing the sound his head made when slamming on to the stage. Then moments later D4vd is seen laughing it off. Now fans online have shared a string of silly jokes about the incident. Even D4vd has gotten in on the joke sharing a few hilarious responses of his own.

“Humiliation ritual complete…,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “See u next week Coachella. I love u.”

In his Instagram stories, D4vd posted a screenshot of his disastrous backflip with the caption: “All I’m listening to [is my song ‘What Are You Waiting For‘] while I practice this backflip 1000 times today.”

Fans will be glued to Coachella 2025’s live stream to see if D4vd can redeem himself.

Brat summer is quickly approaching. However, based on the season’s foremother’s past statements, Charli XCX fans believe this is a party-fueled journey they must embark on by themselves.

Yesterday (April 12), Charli XCX seemed to tease that she’s opting out, but supporters are free to carry on as planned. During the “Sympathy Is A Knife” singer’s performance at Coachella 2025 weekend one, Charli XCX provided a status update on Brat summer.

At the close of her set (viewable here), Charli XCX plastered a message outlining her feelings ending her Brat era.

“Thank you so much, Coachella,” the message opened. “Does this mean ‘Brat’ summer is finally over? Idk? Maybe?”

The message continued: “Yes coz duh it as already over like last year. Wait…what it? No?”

Charli XCX then shared a vulnerable confession. “I don’t know who I am if it’s over. F*ck,” read the festival screens. “Wait…I remembered. I’m Charli. And honestly, I just want this moment to last forever. Please don’t let it be over.”

Heading into her performance, Charli XCX’s promotional Coachella billboard promised a new era was on the way. While her closing message embraced fans’ love of the Brat summer wave, it is abundantly clear Charli is ready to move forward to another sonic era.
