Today, Multi-platinum selling singer, songwriter, producer and DJ Tinashe releases her highly anticipated 8th studio album, Popstar – Listen HERE. The genre spanning 16-track LP features production from Ricky Redd, Zach Sekoff, Fred Ball, Kingdom, Dave Hamelin, Machinedrum, Arca, Illangelo, Camper, kimj, nightfeelings, Couros, Casey Mattson, and Andrew Wells.
Previously released singles, “Too Easy,” “Crash Out,” “Pillow Fight,” and “I’d Rather Be Alone” were all received to widespread critical praise. With the release of the full project, Tinashe is redefining her version of a Popstar and capturing the most honest version of herself, where she is no longer allowing anyone to box her in or categorize her in one genre. With Popstar, Tinashe immerses her fans into her current era: one filled with defiant and unapologetic anthems, paired with high-energy, choreography filled visuals to match that continue to show off her innate ability to flawlessly blend genres and pave her own path
To celebrate the release of the album, Tinashe is hosting in-store vinyl signings in New York, Baltimore, Chicago and Southern California.
Next up, Tinashe will play three headlining shows this fall in Chicago on October 16th, Brooklyn on October 24th and Los Angeles on November 7th. Pre-sale tickets sold out almost immediately, making it her fastest-selling pre-sale to date and general on-sale tickets also sold out shortly after. These shows will see Tinashe perform Popstar on stage for the first time.
The Grammy Museum will be hosting Tinashe for an intimate live performance and Q&A on October 22nd at the Ray Charles Rooftop Terrace in LA. Tickets are on-sale starting Saturday, 9/26, visit https://grammymuseum.org/event/the-drop-tinashe/ for more information.
Tinashe was also recently announced as a special guest on Harry Styles’ Together, Together Tour for shows in Phoenix, AZ on April 2 & 3 at State Farm Stadium. Visit hstyles.co.uk to learn more about how to secure tickets.
Popstar comes off Tinashe’s back to back #1 charting hits with “No Broke Boys” with Disco Lines and “Nasty.” “No Broke Boys” with Disco Lines hit number 1 on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs and remained for several weeks. The track was nominated at this year’s BRIT awards for “International Song of the Year,” at the 2026 American Music Awards for Social Song of the Year and won Dance Song of the Year at the 2026 iHeart Radio Music Awards. The song originally appeared on her album, Quantum Baby, which also featured her #1 hit single “Nasty.” “Nasty” propelled to new heights and upon release, was lauded as the song of summer by many in 2024.

Madonna and Charli xcx, two of music’s most boundary pushing artists have joined forces on a distinctive new track, channeling the spirit of Madonna’s origin-story hit single “Danceteria.” Produced by Madonna, Andrew Watt, Cirkut and Stuart Price, the collaboration is a celebration of the fearless beginnings and influences that shaped each artist’s singular paths. The collaboration follows Madonna and Charli’s CLUB CONFESSIONS party with Saint Laurent during Paris Fashion Week, and a series of playful social media exchanges between the two artists that have since fueled speculation about a potential musical collaboration. “Danceteria Afterhours” out now via Warner Records. Listen HERE. Three limited edition CDs available for pre-order HERE.
“Danceteria” is the latest single from Madonna’s widely acclaimed No.1 album, Confessions II. Critics and listeners alike have particularly praised the album’s deeply personal themes – exploring love, trauma, loss, betrayal and healing. At its core, Confessions II reinforces Madonna’s enduring belief that dance music is far from superficial: the dance floor is a lifeline, a place for escapism, connection and survival. Variety hailed the record as “her best album in decades.” Pitchfork declared Madonna is in “peak form” and calling the album a “genuinely vital addition to her
canon.” Rolling Stone highlighted the album’s musical consistency, calling it “a 64-minute nonstop groove that flows like a perfect club DJ set.”
Up next, Madonna is set to open the MTV Video Music Awards this Sunday with her first performance at the show in 23 years. This will also mark her fifth performance at the VMAs – more than any other artist in the show’s history. Madonna leads this year’s field with a career high 13 nominations. Since opening the very first VMA ceremony, Madonna has delivered some of the show’s most provocative, talked about performances and unforgettable moments which have helped define the VMAs.

Hot Docs is excited to announce the return of popular and long-running series Doc Soup, the launch of new series Aspect Ratio from curator José Teodoro, highly-anticipated new releases including several Hot Docs and TIFF official selections, and spooky season several screenings, including the return of the Nightmares on Bloor Street series and two collaborations between that series and regular monthly series Midtown Matinees. In addition, Stories We Told brings Begone Dull Care: The Films of Norman McLaren and Evelyn Lambart with an introduction from recent TIFF Midnight Madness People’s Choice Award winner Matthew Rankin (Ladies and Gentlemen, Brian Mulroney; Universal Language), plus Vincent Price: What Keeps Us Alive with Victoria Price, T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets with Sophie Fiennes, Author Talk event with Robert Kolker, National Theatre Live, Exhibition on Screen: James McNeill Whistler, and more.
Doc Soup returns for the 2026-27 season with monthly screenings at Hot Docs Cinema. The series will launch on October 7 with a screening of Sundance 2026 official selection Hanging by a Wire by director Mohammed Ali Naqvi, who will take part in a virtual post-screening Q&A. In August 2023, a routine commute turns terrifying when a cable car’s wire snaps, leaving eight passengers—including six schoolboys—dangling 900 feet above a ravine in the remote Himalayan foothills. With no margin for error and a cable that could fail at any moment, an unlikely alliance of rescuers must improvise under intense public scrutiny, racing against the clock before disaster strikes on live television. This year’s Doc Soup season will include seven monthly screenings from October to April. New this year, a regular second screening slot has been added each month on Thursday morning at 10:30am following the first screening on Wednesday at 7pm. Doc Soup subscriptions are now on sale and include one ticket to each Doc Soup film, as well as a Hot Docs 2027 Festival 12-Pack.

October welcomes the launch of new series Aspect Ratio from author, critic, and curator José Teodoro. From its origins, cinema has carried varying ratios of material staged and material captured. This series seeks to celebrate, educate, and prompt dialogue around the rich history of films that brazenly straddle genre boundaries, whether infusing fiction with shards of the real or forging a palimpsest of documentary and myth. Each screening will be introduced by José Teodoro and followed by an informal conversation. The series launches October 3 with Chris Marker’s 1983 mind-bending free-form travelogue Sans Soleil, the endlessly seductive magnum opus from the late French polymath that eludes categorization and circles themes of memory and history, time and its ceaselessness. For more information, visit http://go.pardot.com/e/463832/whats-on-aspect-ratio/lxq1t/978276681/h/MKGwyNlbp9HgOjhY2AGrROd7fLHEU8f1I0yhRe26XYs

Toronto’s dining scene has embraced both Japanese and Peruvian cuisine, yet the two rarely meet on the same plate. At Chotto Matte, that collision is the point.
Imagine warm cinnamon-honey toast hitting the table, its cool custard cream melting into a brûléed banana flambéed tableside. That’s the new Shibuya Toast at Chotto Matte Toronto, the centrepiece of the restaurant’s newly refreshed Saturday brunch: “BRUNCH AT CHOTTO”.
Beginning September 26, 2026 Saturday brunch at Chotto Matte might just be the most decadent brunch experience in the city of Toronto.
Inspired by the Japanese streetside favourite, it layers thick toast with cinnamon-honey butter, cool custard cream and caramelized banana, finished tableside with a flash of flame. Guests can then make it their own with seasonal berries, strawberry-yuzu coulis, warm hazelnut chocolate or Biscoff.
And that’s only the beginning. Chotto’s new brunch menu leans further into Chotto Matte’s signature Japanese-Peruvian flavours, featuring Millionaire Loaded Tots piled high with truffle Parmesan, glazed bacon and guacamole; Nikkei Avocado Toast brightened with shichimi, feta and pickled onion; and Buttermilk Pancakes topped with maple-glazed plantain and blueberries.
Built around big flavours, tableside “wow” moments and more reason to linger with friends and family. And for those who aren’t quite ready for the afternoon to begin, $39 bottomless mimosas keep the brunch flowing.
Brunch at Chotto is available every Saturday starting September 26, 11 AM-4 PM at Chotto Matte Toronto.
