(August 3, 2026 – Los Angeles) – Madonna and Kylie have finally come together for what can only be described as the collaboration the world has been waiting for —and a dance fantasy come to life. After bringing fans Madonna's Club Confessions (presented by MISTR) to WorldPride in Amsterdam over the weekend, the long-rumored collaboration was at last confirmed. Kylie joined Madonna on stage for a surprise performance, debuting "Love Sensation (Afterhours Mix) – Madonna & Kylie" before a packed crowd at the festival’s most sought-after event. Produced by Stuart Price, the highly anticipated track will be released worldwide via Warner Records on Friday, August 7. The collaboration arrives on the heels of “Love Sensation” hitting No.1 at Dance Radio on Friday, further fueling the momentum behind Madonna’s Confessions II, one of the most celebrated and critically acclaimed albums of the year. This follows “I Feel So Free,” the first taste of new music from the album- previously reaching No.1 on the same chart.  With No.1 dance hits spanning five consecutive decades and more Dance chart-toppers than any other artist in history, Madonna continues to not only dominate but redefine and shape the global dance culture she helped to create.   FOLLOW MADONNA: TikTok | Instagram |  X |  Facebook |  YouTube

Today Frankie Rose announces a full North American tour, with most dates supporting The Charlatans UK, as well as two headline shows in Los Angeles and Minneapolis. The tour kicks off Sept. 5 in San Diego at the House of Blues. Frankie's new album Hila is due Sept. 18. 

***
Hila. A record about loss. What persists beyond the range of ordinary perception? The place mourning keeps returning to — not quite transcendence, not quite doubt. The edge of what we can see.”
Frankie Rose has spent fifteen years building one of the most quietly distinctive bodies of work in American independent music. Bursting out of the shackles of her legacy on 2023’s Love As Projection, 2026’s Hila builds on the muscular, dance-ready songwriting and transcendent melodies to result on Rose’s most exploratory and affecting record of her career. Imbued with yearning melodies and brooding post-punk dynamics, Hila is Frankie Rose at her most impressionistic and expansive.
Self-produced at her home studio featuring collaborations with drummer Justin Welch (Elastica/Lush), Hila was recorded following extensive touring with The Jesus & Mary Chain and Swervedriver. The result is the most confident, searching music Rose has produced; muscular in its production yet emotionally vulnerable in its diffracted neon glow. A record informed by loss and the way grief mutates our senses, it’s fitting that Rose channels the nuanced darkness of later Coil, at times the pounding EBM-production of Skinny Puppy and the near-spiritual alien-ness of Cocteau Twins. On Hila, the doors of perception are constantly melting, revealing the porous nature of the seen and unseen. The result is a synesthesia that flips the senses.
If Love As Projection was an outward-looking record looking to embrace the world, Hila brings the dark cosmos into inner space. Rose’s love for 80s production and soaring melodies remain, they’re cornerstones to her craft after all, but there’s something more assured and gothic underneath the massive waves of sound. Opener "Olo" shimmers into a pulsating, cinematic brooder, Rose’s vocal transcending and swan diving between registers in the chorus breakdowns. First single "Cant Be Wrong" serves as a transition from the optimistic pop of Rose’s previous album, introducing a thumping 80s funk rhythm track under the soaring vocal performance. The ebullient "Shadow Twin" is that song’s sibling, recalling major label-era Strawberry Switchblade melancholy mixed with Robin Guthrie’s twinkling guitar work.
Hila blossoms darkly from here on in, blowing out into a glacial wide-screen sonic dynamic. On "Rainman" and the title track, the listener is transported to a rain-soaked, nocturnal cityscape ridden with desire, moonlight cutting through blinds, intoxicating chasms without bounds. Rose’s use of saxophone and digital synthesis recalls the nightmusic of Hats-era Blue Nile or the more ambient end of Emeralds’ catalog. Indeed, in the towering synthetic cello sounds that climb into the mind on Hila, there’s a distinct flavour of the instrumentals on Bowie’s Low. This is musick to play in the dark, to light the way a little, just enough to trick the senses.
Leading into the strobe-filled haze, single "Manifest" pounds forward with a massive Industrial 4/4 beat and post-punk/goth musicality, an exercise in unlit ecstasy. For "Best Of Times," the liberal saxophone passages feel like a suppressed, 80s Michael Mann soundtrack with Frankie Rose’s effortless, melodic vocal performance probing, searching for connection. Navigating through the dry, iced landscape into a rising sun, closer "Velvet Refrain" flips the melancholy of the preceding passages. With a massive sound dripping with harmony, the clanging guitar and vocal duet feels they’re sound-tracking an unexpected happy ending after bouts of darkness."

Tom Waits Shares Comically Wry Spoken Word Track "The Fly", Listen Now

TOM WAITS SHARES NEW COMICALLY WRY SPOKEN WORD TRACK “THE FLY”, LISTEN HERE

Artwork by Casey Waits

“The Fly”, a new spoken-word track by Tom Waits, is out today on all streaming platforms. Waits wields his whipsaw humor in this satirical ode to the common housefly. The track expresses a begrudging admiration for the brief unsung life of the insect: "You have no house, well you have mine / You have no real friends, stay away from the wine / House fly go to sleep say goodbye, no one will weep when you die."

The new track arrives alongside an accompanying lyric video illustrated by Casey Waits, which features the fly and his guy.

Watch Lyric Video + listen to “The Fly”: https://tomwaits.ffm.to/thefly

"The Fly" is the B-side to "Boots On The Ground," Waits’ collaboration with Massive Attack released earlier this year—his first new original music since the 2011 album Bad As Me. Both tracks will be available on 12” vinyl.

When asked about the song, Waits said: Today, as in all of mankind's yesterdays, guarantees this type of song will never go out of style. Man's folly of fiascos is a feast for the flies. Hence, the B side of Massive Attack’s upcoming 12 inch "The Fly" features my appreciation for the winged nuisance."

Slated for release on September 4, the track is only available for streaming but available for purchase on the vinyl 12”. Massive Attack is embracing an eco-conscious vinyl pressing and packaging process for this record to leave a smaller carbon footprint. This ‘EcoSonic’ edition will be 180g vinyl in colors, red, white and blue and are packed at random. Pre-order it HERE.

This 12" vinyl is priced as a fundraiser, with proceeds donated by Massive Attack and Waits/Brennan to support civil rights and community advocacy organizations.

Cover for HAYLA’s DARK GRAMMY-nominated, Gold-certified songwriter and powerhouse vocalist HAYLA unveils her sophomore album DARK, an impactful and ethereal sequel to 2025’s DUSK, out today, July 31. Filled with a haunting and ethereal atmosphere and mesmerizing harmonies as heard on previous singles “HEAL,” “ENOUGH,” and “EASIER,” plus today’s focus track “DARK,” this project signifies her bold shift from dance floor anthems into powerful alternative storytelling.  Listen to HAYLA’s DARK Watch HAYLA perform the title track at St Pancras Church in London https://youtu.be/lQps5RGu7Pw?is=zLMPVA5sTpuuKSJI Each song on DARK carries a lingering sensation, as it puts HAYLA’s effortless alto vocals on full display. The release’s focus track “DARK,” establishes an overall mood and theme for the record within a gentle yet resonant soundscape. “I’m not alone in the dark, I feel you heavy on my heart,” she proclaims, before exploring the nuances of emotions around isolation, connection, grief, and longing throughout the project.  Shares HAYLA about “DARK,” “This song is about grief. All of the conversations that weren’t had, all of the memories I keep and the heaviness felt in the aftermath. The dreams that bring a lost one closer again and the glow that you find in the darkest of nights that remind you you’re not alone. I have been surrounded in a warmth ever since I suffered this loss. There are signs everywhere if you’re open to them. Sending love to anyone who’s grieving.” Another standout “FEAR” feels dissonant and soft at first, before transitioning into a full belt during the chorus. This track contains few lyrics, letting HAYLA’s vocal dynamics provide an accurate portrayal of how fear impacts a vulnerable person, leading into the desperate cry “Why’ve I got to fear it all?” The songs become increasingly charged as the project progresses, ending on a high note. DARK culminates in the impactful “I JUST HOPE WE DON”T RUN OUT OF TIME.”  “This album has a lot of themes in it surrounding grief and heartbreak,” adds HAYLA. “I wrote this album in the darkest period of my life. A time when I wasn’t sure if I knew how to vocalise my feelings and what I had been through. It’s written extremely authentically and for the love of writing, connection and catharsis.” The album release follows the launch of HAYLA’s 2026 festival run, which started with a momentous EDC Las Vegas Kinetic Field main stage debut in May. There, thousands of festival-goers packed the stage to see her performing her solo releases “Fall Again,” “Freefall,” “Alone,” “Visions of You,” “Embers” from her debut album DUSK and new release “Heal,” alongside her major collaborations with Kx5, John Summit, KYGO, Meduza, ILLENIUM, Nelly Furtado, Sub Focus and Wilkinson. Since then, she’s shared her mesmerizing show with stages at Breakaway Festival in Columbus, OH, Washington DC’s Project Glow, Calgary Badlands Festival, San Diego Pride, and coming up this weekend, Amsterdam World Pride.  Watch HAYLA’s EDC Las Vegas performance: https://youtu.be/IIquvML5M4M?si=f9LttUZUBkloOIUO

Fans can experience a more intimate version of the set on her upcoming The Dark Tour, which brings HAYLA back to North America later this summer. Kicking off in Chicago, IL on August 6, the tour will cover several major markets on the east coast, west coast, and midwest, before concluding in Los Angeles, CA with a special night at The Fonda on September 4. While HAYLA’s last tour leaned into the singer’s dance floor heavy roots - featuring dancefloor hits such as the iHeartRadio Music Award nominated “In My Arms” with ILLENIUM, “FADED” with Nelly Furtado, and “Where You Are” and “Shiver” with John Summit - The Dark Tour serves as part of her reinvention allowing her to perform these tracks and more.

A GRAMMY-nominated, Gold-certified artist, she has scored Dance Radio #1s with John Summit (“Where You Are,” “Shiver”), Kygo (“Without You”), MEDUZA (“Another World”), and ILLENIUM (“In My Arms”).
