When Charly Bliss came out of Brooklyn with their excellent 2017 debut Guppy, they were snappy Nineties alt-rock revivalists, bringing to mind the Breeders, That Dog, and Veruca Salt with their churning riffs, sharp melodies, and frontperson Eva Hendricks’ coffee-achiever pip of a voice. They followed that LP with 2019’s Young Enough, mixing in some synth gloss with their guitar buzz. It’s been five years since their last release (during that time Hendricks relocated to Brisbane, Australia, and her brother Sam, the band’s dummer, became a dad). On Forever,...

Of all the pop-culture questions we thought we’d be asking this summer, “What was Katy Perry thinking?” probably wasn’t high on anyone’s list. But here we are with “Woman’s World,” a fairly generic pop banger about female empowerment. Fine idea, but rarely has someone so misread the room. Crammed with cartoonish, fleshy pop-pinup imagery, the video was in line with Perry’s earlier, Day-Glo clips. But this one was widely savaged for being heavy-handed, empty of meaning, stereotypically sexualized, or out of step with the way women...

Sabrina Carpenter defended her friend and producer Jack Antonoff this week, criticizing those who complain about his monolithic influence on the music industry.
“Fuck them all,” Carpenter told Rolling Stone of Antonoff’s critics. “I think he’s one of the most talented people I’ve ever met.”
Antonoff, a frequent collaborator of Taylor Swift, has also worked with Lana Del Rey, Lorde, Florence and the Machine, Carly Rae Jepsen, Clairo and many more. Following the release of Swift’s most recent album, The Tortured Poets Department, many online posited the claim that his widespread influence was leading to a monopoly of style in modern pop music.
Carpenter — who was one of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour openers — pushed back against the criticism, saying Antonoff’s many collabs are all the result of pure talent. “When he’s in a room, he’s able to literally touch every instrument in...

Scooter Braun has announced his retirement from artist management, closing the book one of the most successful runs of artist representation in recent music history.
Over his 23-year career in artist management, Braun represented acts including Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, J Balvin, Carly Rae Jepsen, Lil Dicky, Tori Kelly, Kanye West, and others.
However, Braun’s reputation took a major hit when his holding company purchased the master recordings to Taylor Swift’s first six albums as part of a larger acquisition of Big Machine Label Group (apparently without Swift’s knowledge). The following year, Braun sold her discography to an investment fund for around $300 million. The deal, which Swift described as her “worst case scenario,” inspired her to commit to one of the most groundbreaking acts in recent music industry history: re-record her first six albums in order to own her music herself, thereby standing in complete...

After more than two decades managing stars like Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande, Scooter Braun is giving up the management business.
Braun wrote that he will instead focus on his role as a board member and CEO of the U.S. division Hybe, the South Korean entertainment giant.
“23 years. 23 years. That’s how long I have been a music manager. 23 years ago a 19 year old kid started managing an artist named Cato in Atlanta, Ga and my journey began,” Braun wrote on his social channels. “Along the way I have had so many experiences I could never have dreamt of. I have been blessed to have had a ‘Forrest Gump’-like life while witnessing and taking part in the journeys of some of the most extraordinarily talented people the world has ever seen. I’m constantly pinching myself and asking ‘how did I get here?’

Spoiler Alert: Details follow for Season 11, Episode 13 of “The Masked Singer,” “Finale: One Mask Takes It All,” which aired May 22 on Fox.
“The Masked Singer” winner Vanessa Hudgens admits she didn’t necessarily play the hiding game: At least among her friends and fans, they figured out it was her under the Goldfish costume rather quickly.
“Rita [Ora] guessed it was me straight from the jump,” Hudgens said. “But she’s also my friend. And we saw each other a few days before the first episode!”
Hudgens beat out Scott Porter, who had performed this season as Gumball, to win the “Masked Singer” trophy. Coincidentally, both Hudgens and Porter previously starred together in 2009’s “Bandslam.”
Despite their history, Hudgens said the production kept her completely in the dark as to who her competitors were. “I was so invested every step of the way,” she said. “I was trying really hard to...

Ken Jeong has some of the wildest guesses on The Masked Singer. However, when he gets his mind latched onto something he really believes is true, he really dives into the guess. When it comes to this season’s Goldfish, Ken believes he knows who it is and his guess is someone all of the show’s fans know well.
Here is who Ken thinks is under the Goldfish costume this season on The Masked Singer.
Ken Jeong Thinks He Knows Goldfish On The Masked Singer
Heading into The Masked Singer Season 11 finale, there are only two singers left on the show. Goldfish and Gumball survived last week’s elimination round with Clock unmasking as Thelma Houston. Now, Jeung has made clear that he knows who Goldfish is and it is a former series panelist.
In a clip for the season finale, Ken explained how he came to his guess.

“The Masked Singer” revealed the latest celebrity to be revealed on Wednesday night’s quarter finals, and it was Thelma Houston as Clock.
Houston, of course, is best known for her classic hit “Don’t Leave Me This Way.” For Clock, Rita Ora got it right with Thelma Houston. Robin Thicke went with Stephanie Mills. Ken Jeong said it was Janet Jackson. Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg thought it was Roberta Flack.
Clock wound up in third place for the season, after the three semi-finalists performed one more time in a battle royale, all performing their versions of “A Moment Like This,” by Kelly Clarkson. With Clock out, Gumball and Goldfish move on to next week’s finals.

Taylor Swift started off as a country artist at a time when the genre was both less respectful and accommodating of the voices of women than at any other point in its storied history. The singer’s first four albums barely scan as country music in a meaningful way, instead embracing her preternatural gifts for pop conventions, and her output has gotten stronger the more openly she’s embraced those skills. In the 18 years since the single “Tim McGraw” launched Swift to country stardom, she’s jettisoned the genre’s ill-fitting signifiers and overcome the limitations of her early recordings—improvements captured in her “Taylor’s Version” re-recordings as a powerful statement of artistic agency.
After spending the last year traveling the world on her Eras Tour, Swift has returned with a double album, The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology. To celebrate, we’ve revisited all 11 of her studio albums...

There is a reason why Taylor Swift sits atop the game. She embodies the popstar life, the glitz, the fame, and the shiny new outfits, but also the large-scale attention that it brings to one’s life. Her reverential new album lays bare her emotional struggles of falling in and out of love in a public space like a spectacle for millions. Her new album, The Tortured Poets Department, is literally all anyone can talk about. The internet is entrapped in Swift’s charms and swirling in the web of stories that she has spun. Swifties are losing their minds over speculations and wild theories. And the reactions are hilarious.

Jake Paul has emerged as one of the most prominent figures in professional boxing today, with many crediting him for revitalizing the sport in various ways. Regardless of his opponent, Paul consistently generates buzz and discussion within the boxing community and beyond. He is set for a major boxing match this year and it appears an old video of The Problem Child dancing to Carly Rae Jepsen’s Call Me Maybe has gone viral again – making Jake Paul a complete joke for fans.

The Problem Child is now set to square off against his biggest opponent yet, as he will be facing off against the legendary Mike Tyson in a boxing match later this year and unsurprisingly, there is a lot of negative reaction to this upcoming bout.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read ahead if you have not watched the Season 11 season premiere of “The Masked Singer,” which aired March 6 on Fox.
“The Masked Singer” kicked off its 11th season on Wednesday night — and in perhaps the show’s most unusual reveal ever, comedian Kevin Hart brought his prank war with host Nick Cannon to the show.
Hart brought his one-night-only appearance to “The Masked Singer” as Book, singing the song “So Sick,” by Ne-Yo (who happened to be the Season 10 winner on the show). The performance… was a bit pitchy, dawg. At the end of the song, the show’s panelists seemed to dig it. But after Robin Thicke quickly I.D.’ed Hart, the star took off his costume to reveal himself.
“This is a prank, you had no idea I was coming here Nick, and guess what, there’s nothing you can do about it,...

Cyndi Lauper recalled hearing the Lady Gaga album that changed everything. She also saw some parallels between herself and the “Poker Face” singer. In addition, Lauper was asked what she thought about inspiring Gaga and some of her contemporaries.
Cyndi Lauper said Lady Gaga brought an entire genre back into the fold
During a 2022 interview with Pitchfork, Lauper cited Gaga’s debut album, The Fame, as one of her inspirations. “I really liked the energy of this album,” she explained. “It was young. It was dance. It was different.”
The Fame includes many of Gaga’s biggest hits, including “Just Dance,” “Poker Face, “Paparazzi,” and “LoveGame.” Through The Fame, Gaga established herself as the new Madonna, a pop music giant with a knack for great hooks, scandalous outfits, and over-the-top music videos. Perhaps the greatest legacy of The Fame is that it made dance-pop the preeminent for of popular music for the next few years.

Writer’s block is a nightmare — quite literally in Shudder’s newest horror comedy, Destroy All Neighbors. Out Jan. 12th on the streaming service, the flick stars Alex Winter of Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure fame as a beastly neighbor and Jonah Ray Rodrigues (Mystery Science Theater 3000) as a prog rock musician just trying to finish his record unharassed. It’s like Seinfeld and Kramer but with more blood.

When Aly and Aj Michalka headlined the Greek Theatre for the first time in September, it was a moment tinged with nostalgia and ripe with promise for the next phase of their careers. The venue was the site of the very first concert the L.A. natives attended (LeAnn Rimes in 2004) and has long been a holy grail of sorts. The sisters played folksy Americana songs from their newest album, With Love From — a blend of Kacey Musgraves, Haim and Carly Rae Jepsen — and updated versions of hits from their teen years for an audience that felt, to them, like a perfect microcosm of the fandom they’ve been building slowly and steadily. “When we started out, all our fans were kids, and now we’ve built this community of adults who have been with us from the beginning and people who don’t even know we had a phase before this album,...

“I was outside digging a grave,” quips Lil’ Punkin at the start of our call. He’s running a few minutes late, perhaps a little out of breath, but slides into the conversation. Lil’ Punkin joins Norman Crates, and DeepKutz as we talk all things spooky and macabre.
The trio – known together as Lvcrft (a reference to author H.P. Lovecraft) – have built their careers on making infectiously gooey, throwback Halloween pop music. Think “Monster Mash” but with a glistening modern pop edge. They slashed onto the scene with 2019’s This is Halloween Volume 1, which introduces the pivotal character of Skeleton Sam (as seen in press photos and around town) and includes such tracks as a cover of Kim Wilde’s debut single “Kids in America.” The work is deliciously dark, often seductively playful, and always guaranteed to get your cold, dead heart beating again. Three more albums followed, including 2020’s...

Music manager Scooter Braun's career seems to be going through some serious changes. On Aug. 21, Billboard reported that Demi Lovato and Ariana Grande had cut ties with Braun, though sources quickly denied that Grande was leaving, per Variety. The following day, sources told The Hollywood Reporter that Idina Menzel was also splitting from Braun. Reps for Braun, Grande, Lovato, and Menzel did not immediately respond to Popsugar's request for comment.
Braun shot to fame when he discovered Justin Bieber on YouTube in 2007 and helped kick-start his career. He has since managed Carly Rae Jepsen, Kanye West, the Black Eyed Peas, and David Guetta at different times, and he is the founder of the American record label Schoolboy Records and the holding company Ithaca Ventures, among other ventures. He is also currently the CEO of the Hybe Corporation's United States leg, Hybe America.

Carly Rae Jepsen wants nothing more than to spend time with you (yes, you … really!) for “Anything to Be With You,” but for whatever reason, you don’t seem to be available, and she spends most of the video walking and twirling on city streets alone. “Anything you wanna do, I really wanna do with you,” she sings on the song, which leads off her recently released The Loveliest Time. “I can be friends with your friends, your friends/Anything to be with you.” Maybe she’s coming on a little too strong.

Mega-manager Scooter Braun is taking a break from managing.
Braun will focus on his new position as the CEO of Hybe America, the United States branch of the South Korean multinational entertainment company that has K-Pop’s biggest act, BTS, under their umbrella.
This comes after reports that big-name singers like Ariana Grande and Demi Lovato are reported to have left Braun’s firm, Sb Projects.
In addition, Braun’s important relationship with Justin Bieber seems to be weakening, with reports that the two will go their separate ways. Representatives for both Bieber and Braun have denied these stories.
Other names who have left Braun’s management circle in the past year include J Balvin and Idina Menzel.
Notable names still under Braun’s Sb Projects include the Black Eyed Peas, Carly Rae Jepsen, The Kid Laroi, Quavo, Tori Kelly and Kelly Rowland.

Let it go: Idina Menzel is no longer being managed by Scooter Braun.
A source close to the Tony-winning star tells The Hollywood Reporter she parted ways with the talent manager in January after announcing in 2019 that she’d signed with him.
The past few days have been dramatic for Braun: News of Demi Lovato parting ways with the talent manager broke Monday, and last week Puck News reported that Justin Bieber was looking for new management. Shortly after, Braun’s team said the report was false. Rumors about Ariana Grande leaving the manager after a decade bubbled online this week, and J Balvin parted ways with Braun in May.

Jack Antonoff and Margaret Qualley tied the knot at a seaside ceremony in New Jersey on Aug. 19. The music producer and actor, who got engaged in 2022, celebrated their nuptials with a star-studded group of friends and family. It, of course, included Margaret's mom Andie MacDowell and sister Rainey Qualley. And some of Antonoff's closest friends and creative collaborators - like Taylor Swift - were also on-hand to celebrate the happy couple. People confirmed news of the couple's wedding and published photos of many of the famous guests.
Margaret, 28, first broke out for her performance in 2019's "Fosse/Verdon." She received an Emmy nomination for her role. She was Emmy-nominated a second time in 2021 for her starring role in the Netflix miniseries "Maid."

The Hives have returned with their sixth studio album, The Death of Randy Fitzsimmons. Stream the record below.
Spanning 12 tracks and packing-in an impressive amount of Hives-esque angst, antics, and rock ‘n’ roll prowess, the album proves that just because the popularity of rock has waned in recent years doesn’t mean that one of the genre’s greatest purveyors has lost their touch. In fact, The Hives think there might even be a correlation: “I’m just saying that The Hives don’t release a record for 10 years, [and] rock becomes completely unpopular,” frontman Howlin’ Pelle Almqvist told The New York Times. “Coincidence? We think not.”
Thankfully, The Hives weren’t alone in this endeavor. The making of The Death of Randy Fitzsimmons began like how all of their albums begin: with input from their fictional “mentor and songwriter,” Randy Fitzsimmons. This time, though, Fitzsimmons seems to have helped them from beyond the grave.

Lollapalooza 2023‘s opening day kicked off on Thursday in Chicago’s Grant Park, and it was a scorcher, thanks to artists bringing the heat and the sweltering humidity. The festival inked a 10-year contract with the city last year, and it came with the expansion in capacity, up from 100,000 people to 115,000.
The increase in numbers was apparent during Billie Eilish’s headlining appearance. “There isn’t any place where there aren’t people,” she said, surveying the sea of heads during her show. The festival also marked the first time...

Season 2 of young adult romance “Heartstopper” has arrived on Netflix, accompanied by a soundtrack filled with pop and rock. Adapted from Alice Oseman’s graphic novels, the new season continues the cute, queer, colorful and cartoon-embellished story.
Now that they are boyfriends, Nick Nelson (Kit Connor) and Charlie Spring (Joe Locke) face the nuanced challenges of Nick’s decision to come out to his family and friends. Elle Argent (Yasmin Finney) and Tao Xu (William Gao) fight their own butterflies. Tara Jones (Corinna Brown) and Darcy Olsson (Kizzy Edgell) are back with their relationship road bumps — and let’s not forget our favorite bookworm, Isaac Henderson (Tobie Donovan).
The first episode kicks off on a solid note with Maggie Rogers’ “Shatter” and Fitz and the Tantrums’ “Out of My League.” The 1975’s “The Sound” uplifts episode three after a stressful round of testing for the Year 11 students. Taylor Swift’s...

The gift of Netflix’s beloved “Heartstopper” lies in how it showcases queer storytelling in a way that feels joyous, heartwarming and tender to watch.
That’s not to say there isn’t room in the television landscape for more mature representations of queer youth. But at the heart of “Heartstopper” is a utopian vision of queer high school life, a rarely represented freedom to simply be and love who you are meant to during those formative high school years.
Here, the emphasis isn’t on bullying or the trauma that queer teens face, like on “13 Reasons Why.” Rather, we get to follow characters leaning into their identity and trying to find joy and community. It is arguably radical storytelling in the canon of queer representation, and feels necessary in a world where any progress for queer people is met with repressive backlash.

Carly Rae Jepsen has officially released her seventh studio album, The Loveliest Time. Stream it below.
Featuring production from former-Vampire Weekend member Rostam Batmanglij, the album boasts some of the uber-singable pop hooks and danceable tracks you’d expect from Jepsen. The James Ford-produced single, “Shy Boy,” which dropped last month, was evidence of this, offering an irresistibly catchy chorus.
Jepsen first announced the album earlier this month, explaining that it will be a thematic follow-up to her 2022 album, the similarly-titled The Loneliest Time. “It’s sort of the completion to The Loneliest Time,” she said in a statement. “I had these fantasies that I wanted to put to song about what it would be like when the world opened up and we could travel again and fall madly in love and live life like it’s an adventure. So, I’m really looking forward to this next project,...

The third installment in Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Side B” series, The Loveliest Time works in dialogue with the more downbeat The Loneliest Time. Many of the songs from that album, like “Far Away,” “Bends,” and “Go Find Yourself or Whatever,” introduced a melancholic, even hesitant, mood to the prolific singer-songwriter’s music. As its title suggests, the more joyful, vibrant songs on The Loveliest Time serve as a sonic and thematic counterpoint.
Jepsen’s greatest strength as an artist is making pop music that’s direct without being overly simplistic. She eschews the notion that art needs to be dark or complicated in order to be expressive, and she isn’t afraid to wear her heart on her sleeve or even sound uncool. Though Jepsen’s lyrics may not always be autobiographical, her songs convey a certain vulnerability that feels personal.

After Carly Rae Jepsen released the album Emotion in 2015, her A&R asked to see the songs that had ended up on the cutting room floor. Jepsen wasn’t ready to let them go, but she also didn’t know if they would ever live to see the light of day.
A year later, she found an excuse to revisit them and released the EP Emotion: Side B. It birthed a new series both Jepsen and her fans love, one she refers to as her “B-sides.” After releasing Dedicated in 2019, Dedicated: Side B followed,...

The Amazon Prime Video series “The Summer I Turned Pretty” has made a splash with its loaded soundtrack. By now it is safe to say that “The Summer I Turned Pretty” and Taylor Swift go hand in hand because author and show creator Jenny Han has made it so.
The first season had five Swift songs ranging from her “Lover” album to “Fearless (Taylor’s Version),” and the Season 1 trailer debuted “This Love (Taylor’s Version)” from the yet-to-be-released re-recorded “1989.” Season 2’s teaser was set to “August,” and then the official trailer debuted “Back to December (Taylor’s Version)” shortly before “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” was released July 7. Only time will tell if Season 2 ties Season 1 for how many Taylor Swift songs it contains.
The sequel season’s summer-y soundtrack also contains hits from repeat artists Olivia Rodrigo, Tyler the Creator, Caroline Polachek and more. A Fleetwood Mac ballad punctuates a particularly emotional scene,...
