When London and Sweden collide 🇬🇧🇸🇪

PinkPantheress has released the music video for the “Stateside” remix with Zara Larsson. The two pop girls swap aesthetics, with PinkPantheress rocking Larsson’s vibrant, and colorful ‘Midnight Sun’ persona, and Larsson trying London plaid. The song is a standout from ‘Fancy Some More’ — taking the original and making it more mysterious, seductive, and rejiggered with a delicious R&B beat.

Soundtracking ‘Euphoria’s’ adolescent hedonism isn’t easy. The show’s music supervisor, Jen Malone, is responsible for curating and licensing every track you hear. The season one pilot alone whirled songs from Beyoncé, Lil Dude, Megan Thee Stallion, Migos, Jamie xx, A$AP Ferg, and Future alongside oldies from Andy Williams and Jim Reeves into a sonic barrage that felt right on time.

Ahead of the show’s season three return, look back at our conversation with Malone, who hand-picks what you hear on HBO’s colossal teenage drama.

What song do you wanna hear in the new season of ‘Euphoria?’

14 years ago, Rocky told us what A$AP means to him, and what it meant to be a “Pretty Motherf*cker.”

Ahead of his highly anticipated “Don’t Be Dumb’ album release, revisit that interview and his GEN F story.

“I wanna touch on people. I wanna be the fu***ng trill Michael Jackson. I want fu***ng African fat bi***es to see me and panic and faint and s**t. I know I’m gonna bring back hip-hop,” he told us in 2011. Widening the claim to encompass his team, he added, “I think we will.”

If you’ve ever heard a 6 7 joke, you can thank Skrilla. His runaway hit “Doot Doot” evolved from a bleak loosie to a brainrot catchphrase for everyone from elementary schoolers to Natasha Bedingfield. Now, the controversial Kensington rapper is representing his block to the world.

We spoke to Skrilla about growing up in Philadelphia, the origin of 6 7, and his forthcoming major label debut Z.

Ariana Grande is remembering Mac Miller a few days before his would-be 34 birthday. In a recent podcast with ‘Hollywood Reporter,’ Grand credited Mac Miller with her transition into R&B-pop.

“I’ve never talked about this, but actually Malcolm encouraged me to be myself… embrace my brown hair and make R&B-influenced pop music, and separate, and do the brave thing,” she said.

J. Cole has officially announced his long-awaited album ‘The Fall-Off,’ arriving February 6, 2026.

The record has been years in the making. The rapper first referenced the project in 2023 on his and Drake’s song, “First Person Shooter,” on which he rapped: “I’m namin’ the album ‘The Fall-Off,’ it’s pretty ironic ‘cause it ain’t no fall-off for me.”
