Mikaela Straus is busy right now as one of the stars of the new season of Nine Perfect Strangers. Now, he schedule just filled up even more: Today (June 4), she announced Girl Violence, a new King Princess album. After performing the new song “RIP KP” on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert last night, she shared a video for the studio version this morning.

Straus says of the song:

“‘RIP KP’ is about the sexy side of girl violence – when love takes over your brain like a cordyceps and suddenly you’re getting f*cked all over your house, acting a fool. It’s the perfect way to open the record: dramatic, unhinged, and a little tongue-in-cheek. I wrote it during a full ego death — leaving LA, my label, my old life — and somehow landed back in NYC making the music I would’ve obsessed over at 15. It’s a slutty anthem for the lesbians. We need debauchery this summer.”

She also says of the album:

“Girl violence is very sneaky. It’s not physical, it’s deeply emotional, spiritual, and spooky. Women are both amazing and sinister — including myself — and it’s my curiosity to understand all the love, loss, and changes that come out of my love for women. Why are we so inclined to cause and receive chaos? If you’ve experienced even an iota of it, then you’ll have a story to tell. And these are mine.”

She also announced a tour, which will be preceded by a sold-out Brooklyn show tonight, where the album will be previewed in full. As for the other tour dates launching in October, tickets go on sale starting June 13 at 10 a.m. local time and more information can be found here.

Turnstile’s new album Never Enough is out in a couple of days, but they decided to give two more of the project’s songs an early preview ahead of then. The band did so live on The Tonight Show, where they performed “I Care” and “Dull” last night (June 3).

Before watching above, note that the performance comes with a warning about flashing lights. That comes in the latter half of the mini-set, all of which takes place in a basement-themed set.

The band’s upcoming album is described in a press release as “a restless and exhilarating evolution of the band’s genre-defying sound. A transformative journey, both fearless and alive, by one of the most forward-thinking and influential bands of their generation.”

Recent Sparkling Sessions headliner Jessie Murph is on fire right now, and things are set to heat up even further as the summer rolls on: Today (June 3), Murph announced Sex Hysteria, a new album set for release on July 18.

A tracklist hasn’t been revealed yet, but a press release notes the upcoming single “Touch Me Like A Gangster,” set for release on June 6, will be included, as well as recent releases “Blue Strips” and “Gucci Mane.”

The release also notes the project sees Murph “opening up about themes of sexuality, generational trauma, and self-discovery with a vulnerability and honesty that marks a new chapter in her artistic evolution.” It also notes that on the album, she “reckons with the past, interrogates inherited trauma, and explores the emotional complexities of growing up in environments where feelings are buried deep.”

It’s a great time to be Alex Warren: As of yesterday (June 2), he has the No. 1 song in the country with “Ordinary,” his first Hot 100 chart-topper. Now, he’s not going to let that momentum go to waste: Today, he announced You’ll Be Alright, Kid, a new album.

The project will feature all the songs from last year’s You’ll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1), as well as ten new ones.

In a recent interview with Variety, Warren said of his music journey, “I wanted to be a singer since I was a kid and my dad bought me my first guitar. Funny enough, I didn’t start writing until he passed [when I was 9]. Music became an outlet for me to process my trauma.”

Following their fundraising EP earlier this year, Big Thief now has a proper album on the way: Today (June 3), they announced Double Infinity. They’ve also shared the lead single and album opener, the lightly psychedelic “Incomprehensible.”

A press release notes the band recorded the album last winter at the Power Station, New York City, for three weeks. They worked together with “a community of musicians” featuring Alena Spanger, Caleb Michel, Hannah Cohen, Jon Nellen, Joshua Crumbly, June McDoom, Laraaji, Mikel Patrick Avery, and Mikey Buishas. They’d play for hours a day and the album was recorded live with few overdubs.

Listen to “Incomprehensible” above. Below, find the Double Infinity cover art and tracklist, as well as the band’s previously announced upcoming tour dates.

Today, Binder’s Stash and Willett Distillery have announced a new strategic partnership, uniting the two brands in a way that’s totally unprecedented.

The Willett Distillery is a family-owned business, founded in 1936, and for the first time in their history, they’ll be entering a strategic partnership with a new brand, Binder’s Stash. As part of the partnership, Binder’s Stash will gain access to Willett’s barrel inventory, including experimental mash bills, unique casks, and fully mature whiskey. In addition to receiving that shot in the arm on the liquid side, Binder’s Stash will also benefit from Willett’s state-of-the-art bottling operations and distribution platform across domestic and global markets.

“We’ve built our reputation by sourcing and releasing some of the most distinctive American whiskeys in the country,” said Bill Binder, Founder of Binder’s Stash, “but Willett represents a different level: generational expertise, uncompromising quality, and a legacy that elevates everything it touches. Together, we’re setting a new bar for what American whiskey can be.”

In addition to winning critical praise and topping several UPROXX lists for its excellent bourbon and rye releases to date, the brand has also notably scored Gold at the prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Competition and Double Platinum at the 2025 ASCOT Awards. This string of success has now culminated in a partnership with one of the world’s most highly regarded independent distilleries, which will help lift Binder’s Stash to new heights while cementing its legacy as an industry leader.

Graduating from a non-distilling producer to a partner has, on some level, become an increasingly common trend in the industry. Rather than becoming a direct subsidiary of Willett, however, this strategic partnership allows Binder’s Stash to continue to bolster its already ascendant reputation with a fresh infusion of some of the world’s most sought-after whiskey and the addition of vital infrastructure to support its continued growth.

The early indication is that whiskey enthusiasts can expect Willett distillate to find its way into Binder’s Stash releases in the near future, with much more exciting news anticipated as we roll into the summer.

You can count on us here at UPROXX to taste and review upcoming releases from this unprecedented partnership as they become available.

Dua Lipa dominates the pop culture landscape with her music, yes, but she also devotes a lot of energy to her Service95 Book Club podcast, which sees her speaking with authors about their works. That’s going pretty well, too: It was just announced today (June 3) that the show is heading to Spotify in a new deal.

Lipa said in a statement (via Deadline):

“For me, one of the best things about reading is getting to chat with my friends about the book that’s just blown my mind. But surely the ultimate fantasy would be to have the author in the room there with us, answering all our questions about the incredible world they’ve created. Well, I get to live out my fantasy with the Service95 Book Club podcast, where in each episode I share a book I love and I’m joined by the author themselves. As someone who really is obsessed by books, it’s a dream come true.”

Roshni Radia, Audiobooks Editor at Spotify, added, “It’s a genuine thrill to welcome Dua Lipa and the Service95 Book Club to Spotify. Dua’s unique style and clear passion for literature make this a perfect fit for us, and it really showcases the full ecosystem of creative talent on Spotify. We’re excited to see fans of Dua’s music fall in love with this interview series, and then go on to discover new authors whose audiobooks they can listen to right there on Spotify too.”

Lipa also revealed three books she’ll be covering this summer: This House Of Grief by Helen Garner, Dream Count by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and Fearless & Free by Josephine Baker.

The iHeartRadio Music Festival is back: The 2025 edition is going down on September 19 and 20 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and part of the lineup was revealed today (June 3).

The lineup is currently led by Tate McRae, Ed Sheeran, GloRilla, Bryan Adams, Feid, Jelly Roll, John Fogerty, Justice, Lil Wayne, LL Cool J, Mariah Carey, Maroon 5, Sammy Hagar, The Offspring, Tim McGraw, and more artists are set to be announced. Ryan Seacrest will host.

A joint statement from Tom Poleman, Chief Programming Officer and John Sykes, President of Entertainment Enterprises of iHeartMedia, reads, “What makes the iHeartRadio Music Festival one of a kind is that we bring together the biggest artists from all genres of music for the entire weekend. Fans can also watch live at home on Hulu, our official streaming destination.”

More information about the livestream will be made available at a later date. As for tickets, eligible Capital One cardholders will be able to access a pre-sale starting June 11 at 10 a.m. PT. The general on-sale for tickets starts June 13 at 1 p.m. ET. More information about tickets can be found on the festival website.

Additionally, the festival will be broadcast live via iHeartMedia radio stations throughout the country.

Yesterday (June 2), Sabrina Carpenter shared a teaser video, of her standing on the side of a road, wearing denim shorts and unsuccessfully trying to hitchhike. The video is silent until the end, when Carpenter laughs quietly and says, “Oh boy.” The video didn’t feature any text or any indicators about what the clip might mean. Now, though, it seems the situation is coming into focus.

Four billboards (check out photos here and here) have been spotted and they seem to be related to Carpenter, given that one gives fine-print credit to “SC Entertainment” and the others have an “SC” logo that’s similar to the one used in places like her website. One billboard says “”Manchild”,” perhaps indicating this is the title of an upcoming single. If that’s the case, the text from the other three billboards might be lyrics: “Hey men!,” “Amen,” and “I swear they choose me, I’m not choosing them.”

Carpenter herself has yet to publicly address the billboards or the possibility of a new single.

It hasn’t been that long since we’ve gotten new Carpenter music: She released Short N’ Sweet last year and a deluxe edition with new songs a few months ago. If Carpenter is teasing a new song right now, though, it’d stand to reason that it could come out this Friday, so let’s wait and see.
