In 2008, Mandy Teefey, the mother of the pop star and actress Selena Gomez, was browsing at a Barnes & Noble when she spotted “Thirteen Reasons Why” by Jay Asher. The best-selling young adult novel tells the story of Hannah Baker, a high school girl who kills herself, leaving behind cassette tapes detailing the 13 people she blames for driving her to suicide. It’s no surprise that, standing in the bookstore, Ms. Teefey was compelled to read it: Woven into Hannah’s dark account of isolation, adolescent betrayal and sexual stigmatizing are messages of acceptance and compassion, yet it unfolds like…

Drake’s More Life has arrived. He premiered it on his Beats 1 show OVO Sound today (March 18) before it hit streaming services. This latest full-length — not an album or a mixtape, but a “playlist of all original music” — was announced back in October with “Two Birds One Stone,” “Sneakin’” featuring 21 Savage and “Fake Love.” Of those tracks, however, only “Fake Love” made the final cut, which Drake only finished last week. More Life also sees Drake reuniting with Kanye West (“Glow”) Quavo, Travi$ Scott (“Portland”), 2 Chainz, Young Thug (“Sacrifices”) and PARTYNEXTDOOR (“Since Way Back”). Lil Wayne and Skepta make brief cameos, while an uncredited Sampha is featured on “4422.” New-to-Drake collaborators include UK hip-hop fixture Giggs, as well as DJ Black Coffee and Jorja Smith in standout “Get…
Nicki Minaj joins forces with David Guetta for the fourth time on new single, “Light My Body Up” (due March 23). The duo have an incredible track record. 2011’s “Where Them Girls At” peaked at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100, but their other two collaborations, “Turn Me On” and “Hey Mama,” cracked the top 10. This time around, they rope in Lil Wayne for a little extra flavor. That’s all I know about the project at present, apart from the fact that it boasts a trippy cover (above). The French DJ has been rolling out new singles, potentially from his upcoming 7th LP, since early 2016. He teamed…
Zayn Malik has some new music on the way, but he won’t be alone on the track. The «Pillowtalk» singer is teaming up with PartyNextDoor for his newest tune, titled «Still Got Time,» which he announced on his Instagram Tuesday (March 21).

After sharing his initial hint with the song’s album art, Malik teased what appears to be a 10-second clip of the…

After over five months of media reports and speculation about her shocking Paris robbery, Kim set the record straight and shared the frightening details of the attack—including the moment she thought she’d be raped—in tonight’s highly anticipated episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. «What I think happened now after thinking about it so much is that there was probably a group of guys that were following us the…

The Chainsmokers and Halsey’s “Closer” is the kind of song that only comes along once or twice (if you’re incredibly lucky) in a career. The melodic banger spent 12 consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and went four times platinum. It also set a new record by hanging around the top 5 for 27 weeks and was nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 2017 Grammys. Interestingly, the song could have sounded very different if a demo doing the rounds on Twitter turns out to be legit. It looks like Fifth Harmony escapee Camila Cabello was considered to be the…
