Having made a prodigious debut with two singles and an EP, 22-year-old singer-songwriter Charlotte Jane took a more measured approach to her release schedule this year. Save for a cover of Childish Gambino’s “Redbone” in July, her new single “Get It Right” is her first of the year and today she returns to it for […]
The Weeknd has broken his silence. On Tuesday night, the XO singer took to Twitter to address his shocking Grammy Awards shutout.

The year is nearing its end, but the 30th-anniversary celebrations of the Asics Gel-Lyte 3 continue with a new collaboration from Ronnie Fieg dropping soon. Having already released three Gel-Lyte 3 collabs in July, Fieg is taking a literal approach to commemorating the milestone by creating thirty different iterations of the retro runner. Dubbed “The Palette,” the […]
