“Piercing vulnerability,”  “devastating,” an “indie rock exorcism”: these are all descriptors that have been used, not hyperbolically, to explain the music of Sophie Allison a.k.a. Soccer Mommy.

The creator behind an enormous amount of collaborations releasing in Chicago for NBA All-Star Weekend has been mingling with his friends, including Rhude’s Rhuigi Villaseñor, Travis Scott’s […]

Derrick Jones Jr. has already been here before, he’s been in the Dunk Contest and been a part of the madness that is All-Star Weekend. In 2017, Jones Jr. was the Dunk Contest’s runner-up behind Glenn Robinson III. Easily one of the highest flyers and best in-game dunker across the Association, expectations are high for […]

Time is a flat circle. In the run-up to the release of his fifth studio album, Changes, Justin Bieber returned to YouTube, the platform that propelled him to fame more than a decade ago, as the star and executive producer of the 10-part documentary series Seasons. Some things, like Bieber’s YouTube popularity, never change: The […]

On Tuesday afternoon, Coach took over the 47th Street Warehouse in New York City for the presentation of its men’s and women’s Fall/Winter 2020 collections. Models snaked their way through a maze-like runway setup as stars like Megan Thee Stallion, Michael B. Jordan, Snoh Allegra, and Naomi Osaka looked on.  Music was provided by the Coathangers […]
