A New Blackpink Project Is Set To Arrive Before The End Of 2025, Per The Group’s Label Boss

Blackpink 2025 top
Blackpink

Blackpink is back. The group just wrapped up a run of North American concerts, and they shared a new song, “Jump,” last month. It seems like this might all be ramping up to a new album, and now, YG Entertainment’s founder Yang Hyun Suk has addressed the speculation.

In an announcement video, he said (as NME notes) that Blackpink is currently working on a new project, which doesn’t have a release date but is expected to be out by November at the latest.

He said, “A lot of fans are curious about Blackpink’s album. I know that the Blackpink members and producers in charge of them are working very hard preparing the album. I’m hoping for Blackpink’s album to be out by November, at the latest. That’s what I’m pushing for – we’ll do our best to get Blackpink’s album out soon.”

Uproxx’s Philip Cosores saw the group live recently and wrote in his review, “The hope is that this is not nearing the end for the group, as some have rumored. They’ve already found a good rhythm for being able to pursue their solo endeavors in both film and music while still returning to their stadium-sized home base. And if these recent concerts are an indication, being the biggest K-pop band in the world is nothing to treat lightly.”

SNX: This Week’s Best Sneakers, Featuring The Jordan 12 French Blue & More

SNX_aug_15(1024x450)
Uproxx

Welcome to SNX DLX, your weekly roundup of the best sneakers to hit the internet. August keeps heating up — this week features a strong list of five dope sneakers you need on your radar. From Tyler the Creator’s resurrected 1908 Jogger, to a Whitaker Group assisted New Balance, to a new link-up between Nike and Nigel Sylvester, this week went hard on collaboration, but that doesn’t mean the big brands didn’t bring their own solo heat.

Case in point, our favorite release of the week — The Jordan 12 French Blue. If you’re a hardcore Jordan fan, you understand the significance of this colorway. It’s safe to say a lot of people are going to be catching L’s this week over that release. Hopefully you’re not one of them! Let’s dive into this week’s best sneakers and where to find them.

Converse 1908 Jogger

Nike

Price: $100

We’re willing to call it — Tyler the Creator is the best thing that has happened to Converse since Jack Purcell. Now granted, with later classics like The Weapon, that claim might seem hyperbolic, but come on — Tyler is single-handedly keeping Converse cool. Case in point, his decision to reintroduce the Converse Jogger from the brand’s vault.

But this isn’t just retreaded ground, Tyler took the this 1970’s runner and added his lifestyle touch to turn it into a brand-new shoe. The sneaker features a mixed suede and woven upper, a woven tongue label, and elegant Le Fleur branding.

The Converse 1908 Jogger is out now for a retail price of $100. Pick up a pair at Converse.

New Balance Made in USA 998 Clay Ash with Black

New Balance

Price: $219.99

New Balance stays consistent with their latest release out of the Made in USA line. Made in collaboration with luxury creative house The Whitaker Group, this Clay Ash with Black 998 sports a mesh upper with hairy suede overlays, synthetic details, and a woven co-branded logo. The Made in USA line is already known for its premium offerings, but by teaming up with the Whitaker Group, NB is significantly elevating the luxury.

Easily, this is one of our favorite New Balance releases of the year.

The New Balance Made in USA 998 Clay Ash with Black is out now for a retail price of $219.99. Pick up a pair at New Balance.

Adidas Samba OG Preloved Red

Adidas

Price: $110

The Samba is one of Adidas’ finest silhouettes, and because it has such a classic and iconic design (and a renewed popularity) that means Adidas can get a little bit weird with it. Case in point, this cheetah print Women’s Preloved Red Samba. The sneaker features a pony hair upper outfitted with leather details and red-orange accents.

It’s a bit bold, a bit wild, yet classic!

The Adidas Samba OG Preloved Red is out now for a retail price of $110. Pick up a pair via the Adidas Confirmed app or aftermarket sites like GOAT and Flight Club.

Adidas Superstar Vintage Core White

Adidas

Price: $250

The Superstar Vintage is simply an Adidas Superstar, made in Germany with elevated materials. The build is essentially the same as your stock Superstar — you’re getting a leather upper with leather lining, and a rubber outsole, in a Core white colorway with two blue and a red stripe, but the attention to detail here elevates this sneaker to new heights. We love to see this kind of love and appreciation paid to one of Adidas best silhouettes.

The Adidas Superstar Vintage Core White is set to drop on Saturday, August 16th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $250. Pick up a pair via the Adidas Confirmed app.

Air Jordan 12 French Blue and White

Nike

Price: $205

One of the all-time-greatest Air Jordan 12 colorways is hitting the internet this weekend — the classic French Blue and White. This sneaker features a full-grain leather upper with a rich blue mudguard with a snake-like texture. Rounding out the design is some chrome hardware and dulled silver accents. It’s simply one of the best Jordan 12s to ever exist, so good luck, because a lot of Jordan heads are going to be after a pair (us included).

The Air Jordan 12 French Blue and White is set to drop on August 16th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $205. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app or aftermarket sites like GOAT and Flight Club.

Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 1 Low OG Better With Time

Nike

Price: $165

BMX pro Nigel Sylvester has linked up with Nike once again, this time for a new take on the Jordan 1. We were big fans of Sylvester’s past Nike collabs (naming his Jordan 4 one of our favorite sneakers of 2024) so consider us sufficiently hyped on this release. The sneaker features a distressed outsole, a Swoosh at the forefoot and medial panel, and a low-profile design in stealthy black. White, yellowed, red and cold accents add a nice layer of contrast to the design.

It’s elegant and well considered — which seems to be Sylvester’s MO when it comes to Nike collabs.

The Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 1 Better With Time is set to drop on August 16th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $165. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app or aftermarket sites like GOAT and Flight Club.

Rich Brian Releases His New Album ‘Where Is My Head?’ With Its New Single, ‘She’

Rich Brian returns with his first album in six years, Where Is My Head? After prefacing the album with the single “Little Ray Of Light,” the Indonesian rapper followed up today with a new single, “She.” The video for the song is simple and straightforward, with Brian rapping in front of a monitor hooked up to a webcam, generating a surreal double vision situation, which plays into the album’s concept.

The album itself is likely the artist’s most wide-ranging effort to date, expanding on Brian’s collaborative palette with features from a diverse array of talents. Features include Charlotte Day Wilson, DAISY WORLD, Maxo Kream, redveil, Ski Mask The Slump God, and Toro y Moi. Conceptually, the album employs the “alter ego” conceit common to introspective rap projects, with Maestro, “a conductor scoring music for the dreams of Movie Brian, who lives unknowingly inside the world the Maestro creates.” The story plays out in both the music and visuals for the album, which are directed by Brian’s frequent collaborator, Jared Hogan.

You can watch the video for “She” above and check out the full tracklist below.

01. “Senja”
02. “Body High” feat. Toro y Moi
03. “Jumpy” feat. Ski Mask The Slump God
04. “Took A Breath”
05. “Butterfly”
06. “Fat Cats, Starving Dogs” feat. Maxo Kream
07. “Little Ray Of Light”
08. “Ma”
09. “Serpents!”
10. “Bumpy Road” feat. redveil
11. “Timezones”
12. “Is It?” feat. Charlotte Day Wilson & DAISY WORLD
13. “She” feat. Kurtis Wells
14. “Oh Well”
15. “Jelly Air Island”

Where Is My Head? is out now via 88rising. You can find more info here.

‘The Bear’ Star Molly Gordon And Blake Mills Sing A Witchy ‘Islands In The Stream’ Cover

Molly Gordon’s next act after becoming a favorite on The Bear is the movie Oh, Hi!, in which she stars and also co-produced alongside Sophie Brooks. For the movie, she also teamed with Blake Mills — an industry veteran who, aside from his solo career, has worked with everybody from Fiona Apple to Lucy Dacus to Alabama Shakes — for a cover. The song is “Islands In The Stream,” written by the Bee Gees but most famously performed by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton.

Gordon says of the recording:

“When Sophie and I were developing Oh, Hi! and she came up with the dream sequence, she mentioned that she planned to ask her friend Blake Mills to help us out. I tried to play it very cool, but I was secretly freaking out inside as he is my favorite artist. Working with Blake exceeded any expectation. We only had a couple of hours to record the cover, but we had an immediate language — and again, I tried to hide how much of a dream those few hours were.

I feel so lucky that we get to honor one of my favorite songs with this witchy, folk version. I hope other people might sing this to themselves when they are trying to cast a spell to make someone love them (but also hope that they might discover that they shouldn’t have to do that ha!).”

Mills adds, “I thoroughly enjoyed the entire process of working on this with Molly Gordon and Sophie Brooks. We got to take this song to the moon — fitting for its usage in the film — and I think we ended up with something that truly stands on its own merits.”

Listen to “Islands In The Stream” above.

Doja Cat Goes All The Way To Paris To Reveal The Long-Awaited ‘Vie’ Release Date

Doja Cat last shared an update on her upcoming album Vie in April, sharing a working tracklist on social media. Then, in May, she temporarily shared one of the most sought-after songs, pulling it from streamers after just a day. Doja has always enjoyed trolling her fans, but today, she relented, giving them the most substantive dispatch on the album yet: Its release date.

Vie will be released on September 26th, almost exactly two years after the release of her last album, Scarlet, to the week. While Scarlet juked fans of her pop output with a hard left turn into straight-up rap for much of its play time, Doja has promised that Vie will be more in line with her earlier material. Her recent propensity for dressing up in full glam rock regalia, such as during her set at Outside Lands, might be a hint about the project’s sound, along with her new promotion.

First, there’s the announcement video for the album’s release date, which finds Doja repeating the French phrase “Je sais que tu es ma vie” as she takes photos in front of the Eiffel Tower and bites into a croissant. The backing track is a sample of the theme from the 1980s sci-fi cop drama Knight Rider, which was famously sampled by Busta Rhymes on his 1998 single “Fire It Up.”

Then, there’s the post revealing the release date for the first Vie single, “Jealous Type,” which Doja shared the day before. There’s definitely a strong ’80s theme running through everything here, from the hair to the wardrobe and even font choices. Perhaps her next “pop album” will feature strong new wave vibes? That’s what I’m hoping, at least. We’re long past due for a revival.

Vie is due on 9/26 via RCA Records. You can find more info at DojaCat.com.

Coco Jones And Alicia Keys Shared A Behind-The-Scenes Video For ‘Other Side Of Love’

Coco Jones has continued the promotion for Why Not More? for months past its release, releasing a deluxe version and sharing behind-the-scenes videos of the creation of some of the album’s fan favorites — including the “Other Side Of Love” remix with Alicia Keys, which Jones dropped today.

The black-and-white video finds the two singers meeting up in the studio and performing their vocals side-by-side and sharing laughs, as Coco breaks down her vision for Alicia. The latter sits at the piano — naturally — as Jones hashes out the harmonies that eventually make the song the gorgeous ballad it turns out to be.

Even the song itself got a red carpet rollout ahead of its release, as Coco posted a performance video of the original version on Instagram, asking fans to tag Keys in the comments. A day later, she shared a screenshot of their DM conversation leading up to the recording session, and then, right before its release, one last clip of the two dancing in the studio. The level of commitment to the bit just emphasizes how willing Jones has been to make every aspect of her post Bel-Air music career a success — and how well it’s working.

You can watch the visualizer for “Other Side Of Love” featuring Alicia Keys above.

Dominic Fike Remains Busy As Ever As He Announces ‘Rocket,’ A New Mixtape

Dominic Fike is busy. Aside from his role on Euphoria, he has the whole music thing going on. He released his latest album, Sunburn, in 2023, and followed it with the 2024 EP 14 Minutes. More recently, he and former Brockhampton member Kevin Abstract formed a new musical duo, Geezer.

ASAP Rocky Drops Two Songs From ‘Highest 2 Lowest’: ‘Trunks’ & ‘Both Eyes Closed’

asap rocky

Today, ASAP Rocky‘s new film, Highest 2 Lowest, hits theaters. Along with the film’s depressingly limited theatrical debut comes two new ASAP Rocky songs, which appear on the film’s soundtrack.

One, “Both Eyes Closed,” is a moody, muddy ode to the introspection inspired by certain substances, featuring two Rocky trademarks: Psych-rock guitar strumming and a chopped-and-screwed backing vocal.

Meanwhile, “Trunks” is another Rocky signature: a frenetic street anthem with cavernous ad-libs and a hypnotic, chant-like hook. This one finds him in full-on boast mode, bragging about his indie hustle and showing off its results.

Highest 2 Lowest is a Spike Lee joint, reimagining Akira Kurosawa’s 1963 crime classic High And Low. It transplants the story of a kidnapping investigation from post-war Japan to contemporary New York City, casting Denzel Washington as a record mogul faced with his own version of the dilemma posed by the original: With his entire fortune on the line, does he trade it all away for the life of someone else’s son?

The two new songs will likely be welcome among Rocky fans, who have been waiting for a new album from the Harlemite since 2018’s Testing. That album, Don’t Be Dumb, has been delayed or re-recorded multiple times over the past year or so, but he says it’s finally done, so maybe the wait is nearly over.

You can listen to “Both Eyes Closed” and “Trunks” above.

The Highest 2 Lowest soundtrack is out now. You can find more info here.
