Odeal's music sits loosely within R&B, also drawing on Afrobeats, neo-soul and contemporary pop. Across his catalogue, love is rarely conclusive. Instead, songs live in emotional grey areas.

Afrika Bambaataa helped shape a global movement rooted in peace, unity, love, and having fun, playing a crucial role in the emergence of hip-hop as a cultural force.

"The instrumental Leo created is a blend of heavy donks and distorted guitars, punctuated by the iconic 'hello moto' ringtone from the legendary Motorola flip phone. That nostalgic hook, 'i think i might flip like a motorola', encapsulates the frustration of dealing with people who just can't take a hint-it's an anthem for those ready to say, 'flip you off and stand alone'."

His playing was very energetic, and I really like that. That's something I feel very comfortable with. I also love playing in a very energetic way.

"Making the first-ever signature Sprite Sound is the type of artistic collaboration I love, since we both stand for empowering artists and authentic self-expression," Mustard said. "Sprite is iconic and a legend in music culture, and I made the new sonic identity to be intense, crisp and just as iconic as the brand."

Yuko Hattori described the findings as 'fascinating', noting how the chimpanzee used tools to produce various sounds while expressing a vocal display.

R&B in the 21st century has been in a constant state of flux, tugged between safe traditionalism and blurry attempts at progression. For the last decade-plus that "progression" has seen R&B music become more indebted to trap records and the moody atmospherics of alternative bands like Radiohead, Coldplay, or My Bloody Valentine.

Over the years my main focus has been jazz so bringing that style and rhythm up to the stage, they found really interesting. Ellis thinks his jazz background made him stand out among his fellow contestants, attributing his success to the distinctive musical perspective he brought to the competition.

Natanya tears genres open and rebuilds them in her own image. Her drums swing loose and jazzy over heavy 808s; synths drift dreamily before snapping into gritty guitar riffs. Writing, producing and arranging all her own work, she weaves together neosoul silk, R&B groove, indie edge, and flashes of grunge, all carried by a buttery falsetto that nods to Aaliyah, Amy Winehouse, Janet Jackson and early Destiny's Child.

Gorillaz originally planned to perform across North America in 2023, but they pulled out due to "scheduling conflicts and circumstances beyond our control." At the time, the band had just performed at Coachella-with guest appearances by Bad Bunny, Beck, Thundercat, and more-and was planning to celebrate Cracker Island.

I woke up in hospital. I had fourth-degree burns down my right arm, all the way to the bone marrow. After four weeks in the burns unit, doctors gave me a choice: spend years attempting to save the arm, or amputate and leave hospital within a week. I chose amputation. It was the right decision but it was still devastating.

One 10-year-old kid tells Smith he likes 'punk rock,' and goes on to name his favorite 'punk' bands as 'blink-182, Green Day [and] Red Hot Chili Peppers,' not even realizing he was standing right next to the Chili Peppers drummer. Smith laughs as he responds, 'Red Hot Chili Peppers, they're not really punk rock, but okay!'

Former black midi bassist/vocalist Cameron Picton launched the new group My New Band Believe last year, and they've now announced their self-titled debut album, which will be out April 10 via Rough Trade. The album features contributions from most of caroline, as well as Kiran Leonard, Caius Williams, Steve Noble, Andrew Cheetham, and more. He notes that the album is almost entirely acoustic, "using the barest amount of reverb and electronic effects possible."

She's a wonderful person. So that was half of the quest, can we find somebody that's gonna be really fun to be with? She's really a lovely person. She laughs easily. She felt immediately comfortable. I think she was quite nervous in those first few days... But she worked really hard. She prepped for it. She had five songs, and we went through those songs. But by the fourth day, Ged and I, we talked and we weren't quite sold on it.
