Today, rising star Nessa Barrett releases her highly anticipated new EP Jesus loves a primadonna — listen HERE. Out now on Warner Records, the eight-song set is an immersive plunge into toxic romance and staggering vulnerability set to a hypnotic mix of noirish rock, trip-hop textures, and deeply haunting vocals. The project arrives alongside the cinematic, dark-fantasy love story music video for “Buffalo 66,” starring The Neighbourhood’s frontman Jesse Rutherford. Watch HERE. 

“Jesus loves a primadonna is all about love,” says Nessa of her latest work. “It’s beauty and demise. The villain origin story of every woman who has loved until she cannot love anymore.” 

To ring in the EP’s arrival, Nessa is throwing a series of intimate shows — the live unveiling of Jesus loves a primadonna, dress code: “Vamp Romantic” — in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, and Toronto, though multiple dates have already sold out. Tickets and info HERE. She has also dropped a limited collection of vinyl, CDs, and merch to complement the EP’s gorgeously dark sound. Pre-Order merch HERE. 

“Buffalo 66”, named after the 1998 cult film, encapsulates the intoxicating pull of Jesus loves a primadonna from the start. Over dreamy instrumentation, Nessa sings of a romance that blurs seduction with danger. As the music surges with swooning guitars and searing strings, it becomes clear that she can’t find her way out: “Why am I in? Why am I in love? / In love with the one who holds the gun / Why is it we love what’s bad for us? / Why do I pray? God knows I should run / But I go back to us.”

“I wrote ‘Buffalo 66’ after watching one of my favorite films, Buffalo ’66,” Nessa explains. “This song was inspired by the Stockholm syndrome in the film, which, at its core, was something I really related to. ‘Buffalo 66’ reflects on the emotional heartache of being naïve in a toxic relationship — staying when you shouldn’t stay, loving what you shouldn’t love.”

Those themes ring out across Jesus loves a primadonna, which opens with Nessa crossing her heart before diving headfirst into romance on the Western-tinged “West Coast Prayer.” Produced and co-written by her go-to collaborators CJ Baran and Arthur Besna, the EP then travels through the sort of grunge-y, dynamic soundscapes heard on the lead single “High On Heaven” — which likens love to a powerful drug — before ending on “Stay With Me,” a heavy denouement that finds Nessa alone again and coming to grips with the trauma she’s endured.

In January, fans were treated to a powerful live version of “High On Heaven” recorded during her stop at Australia’s triple j radio to participate in their Like A Version covers series. She delivered a brutally spare rendition of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” and sat for an interview as well.

Nessa also worked with Baran and Besna across her celebrated second album AFTERCARE, which launched a 50-city world tour and boasted a darkened, dance-powered sound heard on standouts like “PASSENGER PRINCESS,” “DIRTY LITTLE SECRET,” “MUSTANG BABY”

featuring Artemas, “DISCO” with Tommy Genesis, deluxe addition “LOVE LOOKS PRETTY ON YOU,” and P*RNSTAR,” which she performed stunningly on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

EUPHORIA. was among those who heaped praise on the “optimistic and decidedly sexy AFTERCARE.” Meanwhile, PAPER Magazine chronicled THE AFTERCARE TOUR’s packed New York City stop, raving, “Fans filled the venue, screaming every lyric back as Barrett delivered a set that balanced raw emotion with the kind of dark-pop edge she’s perfected.” .

AFTERCARE was a major milestone for one of music’s most fascinating emerging voices, capping a banner year in which Nessa fully sold out her church club for the lonely tour, joined Lana Del Rey on stage at Hangout Festival to perform Nessa’s 2023 single “american jesus,” and released her pulse-pounding collaboration with Whethan, “sick of myself.”

After being named to Billboard’s “21 Under 21” list twice — as well as being featured on Forbes’ “Top Creators: Fashion 50,” People Magazine’s “Emerging Artists,” and similar hotly tipped lists from UPROXX, Ones to Watch, and others — she’s amassed nearly 3 billion global streams and over 27 million followers across social networks. With Jesus loves a primadonna, Nessa Barrett delivers an enthralling work that makes it all the more impossible to look away.

 GRAMMY® & Emmy Award-winning superstar singer, songwriter, rapper, instrumentalist, and actress Lizzo has released a new track and video, “Don’t Make Me Love U,” — listen HERE. The anthemic ballad, produced by longtime collaborator Ricky Reed & Cheche Alara, kicks off Lizzo’s new musical era.

The video, directed by Tanner K Williams
and shot by Bentley Rawle, gives a surreal and visually striking look into a familiar relationship of grappling with your past-self, reflecting and eventually evolving through learning and growth. It’s as cinematic and sincere as it is satirical as told through a cerebral lens of Lizzo and Lizzy, her alter ego.

This much anticipated release comes on the heels of a fully sold-out run of shows at Blue Note Jazz Club’s Los Angeles & New York locations, totalling a run of 12 performances. Variety heralded that “these shows reminded the audience, up close and personal, what a major talent Lizzo is: a top-class singer, an engaging and entertaining performer, and to a degree we haven’t really seen before, a trained, serious musician.” She most recently gave an electrifying performance to a sold-out Houston Rodeo with over 70,000 fans earlier this month.

Lizzo also recently announced the upcoming release of her first ever children’s book Lil Lizzo Meets Sasha B. Flootin’, coming to bookshelves all over on September 8th, 2026. Published by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, the story tells the tale of a bubbly little girl who just wants to belong meeting a smart and brassy flute who can’t find her tune, winding up on a wild adventure to places filled with incredible sounds. 

About Lizzo:

Lizzo is a four-time GRAMMY® Award–winning, Emmy Award–winning superstar singer, songwriter, rapper, and actress, who has left an indelible and incomparable mark on popular culture. She has garnered numerous accolades, notched two Hot 100 #1 smashes, earned dozens of gold, platinum, and multi-platinum certifications, packed arenas worldwide, and shined in blockbuster films. Lizzo notably made history in 2023 when she emerged as “the first black woman to receive Record of the Year at the GRAMMY® Awards since 1994” for the 2x-platinum “About Damn Time.” Prior, she shook the charts with the Diamond record “Truth Hurts.” It enshrined her as both “the third female rapper to top the Hot 100 without a featured artist” and “the first black solo female R&B singer to claim the top spot since 2012.” It dominated the Hot 100 for seven weeks, becoming “the longest running #1 by a solo female rap artist ever.” Rolling Stone hailed it as one of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. She has appeared on a myriad of television shows, including Saturday Night Live, TODAY, Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, CBS Sunday Morning, and more. She also headlined her own Emmy nominated HBO special Lizzo: Live In Concert, capturing her sold-out show at Kia Forum in Los Angeles. Along the way, her presence could be felt at the box office and on streaming networks, spanning roles in The Simpsons and Hustlers in addition to producing and starring in the #1 multi-Emmy Award–Winning, Prime reality TV show: Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls. She started her own shapewear line, Yitty, designed for every type of body. In 2026, she kicked off the year with the announcement of her first ever children’s book, Lil Lizzo Meets Sasha B. Flootin,’ hitting bookshelves this September.

In the fifth and final season, it’s Homelander’s world, completely subject to his erratic, egomaniacal whims. Hughie, Mother’s Milk, and Frenchie are imprisoned in a “Freedom Camp.” Annie struggles to mount a resistance against the overwhelming Supe force. Kimiko is nowhere to be found. But when Butcher reappears, ready and willing to use a virus that will wipe all Supes off the map, he sets in motion a chain of events that will forever change the world and everyone in it.

Netflix have announced THIS SUMMER WILL BE DIFFERENT is on the way! The ten-episode series is based on the bestselling novel by Carley Fortune.

The show will film on Prince Edward Island and in Toronto.

Logline: This Summer Will Be Different, based on the beloved novel by Carley Fortune, is a simmering, sun-soaked romance set across multiple summers on Prince Edward Island about Lucy, a young woman navigating her 20s and her first real love with her best friend’s brother, the one person she was never supposed to fall for.

Creators/Showrunners: Dane Clark (Suze, One More Time), Linsey Stewart (Workin’ Moms, North of North)
Executive Producers: Dane Clark, Linsey Stewart, Carley Fortune (Every Summer After, Our Perfect Storm), and Jennifer Kawaja (Sort Of, Wayward) and Elise Cousineau (Cardinal, Small Achievable Goals) for Sphere Media

Production Company: Sphere Media

Quotes:
Danielle Woodrow and Tara Woodbury, Directors, Content – Canada: “When Carley first entrusted us with her captivating book, we knew we had to find the right team to deliver to her passionate fanbase. Developing this project with Dane, Linsey and Sphere has been a dream and we couldn’t have found better partners to bring this love letter to both Toronto and Prince Edward Island to the screen.”

Carley Fortune: “I fell in love with Prince Edward Island first in the pages of L.M. Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables and again when I visited with my best friend in my early twenties. That vacation, the beauty of the island, the warmth of its people, and the friendships that sustain us—are the foundation of This Summer Will Be Different. I’m thrilled to bring this sweeping love story to the screen with Netflix and to transport audiences to the glittering shores and windswept beaches of PEI.”
Netflix and Sphere previously partnered on the limited series thriller, Wayward, which spent five weeks on the global top 10 and reached number one in 35 countries.

Today, GRAMMY® Award-winning English rock titans MUSE announce their forthcoming tenth studio album, The WOW! Signal, out June 26 via Warner Records — find the track list below, and pre-order and pre-save HERE. The announcement was truly out of this world, with MUSE launching the news from space! In partnership with Sent Into Space, the band sent a specially-designed tablet 33km up into the atmosphere to premiere the “Be With You” video, while a second package carried stickers for a limited-edition vinyl release to be claimed by fans.

The WOW! Signal marks MUSE’s first album since 2022’s acclaimed Will Of The People – which premiered at #1 on Billboard’s Top Rock Albums and Top Alternative Albums. Inviting us to dive headlong into the new album’s world, MUSE are sharing the massive opening salvo of a lead single, “Be With You,” alongside a scene-setting official music video starring Ella Balinska (Resident Evil, The Occupant). Listen HERE and watch HERE. 

“Be With You” opens on a huge, humming church organ and Matt Bellamy’s equally epic vocal as he zooms in on a heavy moment: “It seems my light’s been swallowed up, I’ve used up every ounce of luck / I need to leap into the fire, find a higher power, and reach for something new.” But soon enough, the track ignites into driving electronica and, eventually, searing rock as the narrator’s perspective shifts from dejection to resolve: “I feel my life has just begun, it can’t just be with anyone / It’s got to be with you.”

Directed by Nico Paolillo (Deafheaven, BAD OMENS), the “Be With You” video brings this galvanizing moment to life in stunning cinematic detail. As a red halo clings to the moon, Balinska begins to notice odd phenomena and seems pulled out into the night by some greater force. She eventually meets a man moved by the same strange energy, and together they witness a beautiful and terrifying phenomenon.

The WOW! Signal takes its name from one of the most compelling interstellar mysteries of the last century: a powerful 72-second radio burst detected in 1977 originating from the constellation Sagittarius with a bandwidth and intensity that suggested a possible extraterrestrial source. The astronomer who discovered the anomaly famously circled the now-iconic sequence “6EQUJ5” and wrote “WOW!” on the printout beside it — giving the signal its name and cementing its place in scientific and pop-culture lore.

While “Be With You” is only our first glimpse into The WOW! Signal, the common themes between the song and this phenomenon speak to the forces powering MUSE’s new album: a mix of cosmic mystery, existential hope, and the exhilarating possibility of contact with something far greater than ourselves.

Zootopia 2 is racing ahead on Disney+, hopping to 32M views globally in its first seven days, making it the #1 film on Disney+ during its premiere week. Its arrival on service builds on the enduring popularity of the franchise: together, Zootopia, Zootopia+, and Zootopia 2 have been streamed over 885 million hours globally to date.

The film’s strong debut on Disney+ follows in its huge theatrical pawprint. It shattered box office records, becoming the highest-grossing animated Motion Picture Association (MPA) release of all time with $1.9 billion worldwide, ranking as the eighth highest-grossing film ever. The sequel’s success continues the legacy of the original Zootopia, which captivated fans around the globe and won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film in 2017.

The world of Zootopia has expanded beyond the screen as well. In 2023, the Shanghai Disney Resort opened the first Zootopia-themed land, introducing guests to the Mammalian Metropolis and bringing the beloved animal residents of the film to life. Its signature attraction, Zootopia: Hot Pursuit, is the highest-rated attraction at Shanghai Disneyland, with one in four guests stating they came to the park specifically for the land. Leveraging cutting-edge technology, the park also rapidly integrated new content inspired by Zootopia 2, debuting the film’s latest Gazelle song with one of the newest Audio-Animatronics just weeks after the film’s theatrical release. Plus, guests go wild for the food too – over 4.8M Disney Zootopia Pawpsicles (480 tons of ice cream!) have been sold to date.

The animated feature has also sparked strong fan engagement across consumer products and global retail, igniting viral demand for collectibles, blind boxes, and collaborations with brands such as Pop Mart, Miniso, Tony Moly, and Uniqlo. On DisneyStore.com, the iconic Zootopia carrot pen sold out twice – once at launch and again after restocking.

Fans can jump into the action with Judy and Nick and watch every adventure in the Zootopia Collection on service.
