Offset Is ‘Haunted By Fame’ On His Surprise Spooky Season Mixtape
Offset is getting all the way into the spooky season with a brand-new mixtape. Today, he released Haunted By Fame, just two months after his new album, Kiari. While that album contained soulful features from the likes of artists such as John Legend and JID, this tape is much more on-theme with the holiday, and employs colorful characters like YoungBoy Never Broke Again, NoCap, and Lil Dump (I promise I did not make that name up, it's on the tracklist). The project is accompanied by a music video for the focus track, "Ya Digg," which you can watch up top.…
From Sound Baths To DJ Sets: 5 Retreats Redefining Wellness With Music
Sweating in a sauna to a live DJ set. Drifting along a rooftop pool during a full moon floating party. Enjoying a “sacred nap” soundtracked by binaural beats. The next era of wellness travel is following a very different tempo – literally. Forget silent meditations and cucumber water, some of the world’s most cutting-edge luxury retreats are crafting immersive experiences designed to pulse, vibrate, and move their guests. They’re swapping clichés for gong baths, vibroacoustic therapy, and ecstatic forest dances, blending indulgence, escapism, and a higher-frequency form of self-care. And it turns out, there’s science behind the spectacle. Music has…
Noname Is Out To Get Hers In The Whimisical ‘Hundred Acres’ Video
"Hundred Acres" may have been the name of the woods behind Christopher Robin's house where he played with Pooh and the gang, but Noname has a decidedly less whimsical theme in mind for her comeback single. The poetic Chicago rapper is thinking more "40 acres and..." in her first new song since 2023's Sundial, focusing on getting hers. "I know somebody better give me my cheese," she intones. "Or I'ma have to get mine from these streets / I gotta look out for me." Funnily enough, I heard the first inklings of what this song would be last year while…
Julia Wolf Surprises With ‘2MUCHPRESSURE,’ A New Remix EP Made With 2DUMB
Julia Wolf released a new album, Pressure, earlier this year, but she's not done with the project yet: Out of nowhere today (October 31), Wolf surprise-released 2MUCHPRESSURE, a new remix EP, led by producer duo 2DUMB, that re-works seven songs from the original album. In a statement, Wolf says of the EP, "When I first heard the remix 2DUMB did on tiktok, I immediately knew I needed them to make more remixes! And to be able to get two of my favorite artists BBY GOYARD and cr1tter on was an even better bonus!” She previously said of the original album,…
Wale Is Fed Up With The Nightlife On ‘City On Fire’ Featuring Odeal
Wale's new album, Everything Is A Lot., is just a few weeks from release, and the DMV repper has one final single to get fans hype for the drop. "City On Fire" features British-Nigerian singer-songwriter Odeal, and treads familiar territory for longtime Wale fans. It's got a swinging, mellow beat with gently plucked guitars, compelling bass, and some nice percussion work. Lyrically, Wale questions a paramour about her bad habits and suspect friends. It certainly sounds like he's over the club scene, between this song, "Blanco," and "Mirroronnabenz" with BNYX. You can't blame him, because he's had a pretty rough…
Fred Again..’s ‘USB’ Series Continues With ‘Hardstyle 2,’ With Kettama And Shady Nasty
Fred Again.. is in the midst of a moment. Specifically, Fred is rolling out a bunch of songs from his ever-evolving USB project, one song per week. The latest arrives today: "Hardstyle 2," alongside Kettama and Shady Nasty. The series has also included complementary live shows, which get announced as the project goes, shortly before they happen. The next one is on November 1, at RDS Simmonscourt in Dublin with EMA, Caolan Ryan, and Fontaines DC DJs. Meanwhile, Fred recently made a post talking about how performing and touring has been lately, saying: "i dont want this to sound in…
Ken Carson Explains His Sex Appeal With The Melodic ‘Yes’
Ken Carson is in the middle of Opium's Antagonist tour alongside labelmates Playboi Carti, Destroy Lonely, and Homixide Gang. However, that hasn't stopped the self-described Lord Of Chaos from releasing new music and experimenting with his sound. While Carti leans further into abstraction with every release, Carson has quietly become one of the more conventional members of the crew. On his latest single, "Yes," he adopts the melodic delivery that has been part of Atlanta's trap scene for the past decade or so, sounding very much like the offspring of Young Thug and collaborators like Gunna, Lil Keed, and Lil…
Allison And Katie Crutchfield Just Formed Snocaps, A New Band, And Surprise-Released An Album
Back in the 2000s, twin sisters Allison and Katie Crutchfield formed the band P.S. Eliot. In 2011, they broke up and the two went on to do their own things: Katie re-branded as Waxahatchee while Allison started a new band, Swearin'. Now, the sisters are back together and they just made their comeback in a huge way: Today (October 31), they announced their new band, Snocaps, and released their surprise self-titled debut album. A press release notes the album "recalls Allison’s band Swearin’ and Katie’s early records as Waxahatchee." Furthermore, featured performers on the project are MJ Lenderman and Brad…
Genesis Owusu’s Freaky ‘Death Cult Zombie’ Video Has A Moment From ‘The Ring’
Although Australian artist Genesis Owusu's latest single has a title perfectly timed for spooky season, the song's content is decidedly less supernatural in nature. Instead, the "Death Cult Zombie" he takes on in the punky track is more political in nature, as he admonishes them, "Think too hard and you bleed / Come and get me, I won’t live on my knees / I live here so why you following me / Mr master race, but still no GED / Burning in the sun and looking British in the teeth." I think we all know who he's talking about. Of…
The Best Vinyl Releases Of October 2025
Anybody who thought the vinyl resurgence was just a fad was mistaken: The industry has experienced a legitimate revival. As a result, music fans are interested in physical media in ways they may not have if the decades-old medium hasn't made a comeback. That doesn't mean everybody is listening to just their parents' old music, though. That's part of it, sure, thanks to rereleases that present classic albums in new ways. A vital part of the renewed vinyl wave, though, is new projects being released as records, of which there are plenty. Whatever you might be into, each month brings…
We Combined Candy Classics & Whiskey For A Prime Halloween Pairing
Are you ready for a scary good time? We all know it's prime time for spooky movies, creative costumes, and carving pumpkins, but the sweetest treat of Halloween is all of the tasty candy out there. Whether you're keen on chocolate, hard candies, or chewy caramels, there are a ton of classics out there to buy (or pluck from your child's trick or treat bag, you do you). But here at Uproxx, we wanted to kick things up a notch. Since Halloween is a holiday full of equal fun for kids and adults, we wanted to give the latter a…
Orville Peck Heralds A New EP, ‘Appaloosa,’ With The Grand Single ‘Drift Away’
Orville Peck just wrapped filming on the 2026 Street Fighter movie, in which he plays Vega. Now, it's time to get back to music, as today (October 31), Peck announces a new EP, Appaloosa. The news is accompanied by the release of a new single, "Drift Away." It's a classic cowboy crooner from Peck, his throwback-style voice dripping like honey on the epic instrumental. Meanwhile, Peck also has his 7th annual rodeo coming up next month, from November 14 to 16 in Pioneertown, California at Pappy & Harriet’s. The event will feature performances from Peck, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night…
Not For Radio (The Marías’ María Zardoya) Shares Her First Solo Video, For ‘Swan’
This past summer, The Marías' María Zardoya launched Not For Radio, a new solo endeavor. Her debut album, Melt, dropped a few weeks ago, earlier this month. Now, she has shared her first video in support of the project, for album standout "Swan." The striking black-and-white visual makes great use of contrast to come across as bold even in its no-saturation presentation. In a recent Billboard interview, Zardoya said of the project, "I went into Not For Radio with the intention of not writing any pop songs. [...] It's a project with songs that I want people to experience the…
Magdalena Bay Unveil Yet Another Pair Of New Songs: ‘Two More Songs?! When Will It End??’
Following last year's album Imaginal Disk, there has understandably been no new Magdalena Bay album this year. There may as well be, though. In September, they shared two new songs, "Second Sleep" and "Star Eyes." Then, earlier this month, they followed with two more songs, "Human Happens" and "Paint Me A Picture." Today (October 31), they have yet another pair of new songs out now, "Unoriginal" and "Black-Eyed Susan Climb." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0E4KwFuwSQ The band says in a statement, “Two more songs?! When will it end?? Is this the final pair? Don’t think too hard about it. Just let the good times…
Indiecast On Lily Allen And Halloween Music
Steven and Ian open with a conversation about a memorable Halloween from 10 years ago. Then they do a Sportscast on the World Series, and Steven's belief that he's spiritually Canadian. From there, they pivot to the gossipy reception to Lily Allen's new album, and her legacy as a blog-friendly indie-pop phenom from the 2000s. They also talk about a list of notable Halloween songs that aren't actually about Halloween and the prospect for musician biopics after the relative box-office failure of the Bruce Springsteen movie. After a quick check-in on the Fantasy Album Draft, they do a "yay or…
Gale’s New Album ‘Lo Que Puede Pasar’ Is Out Now, Along With A Playful Video For ‘Perspectiva’
Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Gale has launched a new era following her 2023 album Lo Que No Te Dije. Today (October 30), her latest LP, Lo Que Puede Pasar, is out, along with a video for "Perspectiva." The video is built on a few extended shots, of Gale making her way through a home as she sings the song to the camera. It's a fun clip, particularly at the end when she lays down in a kiddie pool and enjoys a slice of watermelon. Gale recently told Noticia about the album, saying (translated from Spanish): "It’s a very honest album about…
Morgan Wallen Just Finished A Tour And He’s Already Announced Another One For Next Year
Morgan Wallen crushed it with his I'm The Problem tour this year, wrapping the run up in September. Wallen is now taking some time away from the road, but he won't be gone for long: Today (October 30), he announced another tour for next year, dubbed the Still The Problem Tour. The 11-city, 21-date stadium tour kicks off on April 10 and will see Wallen play two nights in most cities. The run includes stops at three college football stadiums: Florida’s Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, Michigan’s Michigan Stadium, and Alabama’s Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium. The tour is set to…
‘Primate’: Everything To Know About The Terrifying Killer Chimpanzee Movie
Chimpanzees: pretty scary! In fairness, some of them can be really friendly, even like a member of the family. But, there's always a lingering element of uncertainty, especially when they get infected with a disease that gives them more of a killer edge, as is the case in the upcoming movie Primate. Veteran horror director Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down, The Strangers: Prey At Night, and so on) is at the helm here. He had a real vision, and that vision involved putting CGI to the side in favor of practical effects to bring the chimp to life, making the…
Anthony Edwards And Culture Jam Tell Another Side Of The Athlete’s Story With ‘Legend In My Hood’
As the NBA's 80th(!) season got underway last week, one of the league's brightest stars took the next step in expanding his footprint beyond the game. Like Kawhi Leonard before him, Anthony Edwards teamed up with Culture Jam to release Legend In My Hood, the second in the media imprint's ongoing series pairing athletes with recording artists to executive-produce anthemic albums telling their personal stories. This version was announced with a thrilling, Don Cannon-produced collaboration between Pusha T and Wale, "Damage Control," and was accompanied on release by the Big Sean and Hit-Boy reunion "Moving Different." Other artists featured on…
Saba Serves Up ‘Coffee!’ A Fresh New Surprise Album He Recorded In His Car
I love a concept album -- any concept, really. But especially an unfussy, simple concept album, released completely by surprise, from one of my all-time favorite rappers recording today. Saba, fresh off the release of his and No ID's collaboration From The Private Collection Of Saba And No ID (say that five times fast), dropped a new album today titled Coffee!, entirely without warning or preamble. The album is named after the Chicago rapper's Bronco WildTrak, which is also where he wrote and recorded the whole thing. What a concept! Technically, Saba gave a little teaser of the album when…
Kelly Lee Owens Continues Rolling Out Her Club-Inspired EP With ‘132 Techno’
Earlier this month, Welsh electronic favorite Kelly Lee Owens announced a new EP, Kelly. She shared "Ascend" alongside that announcement. Today (October 30), she offers another advance taste with "132 Techno." The song showcases some of what Owens does best, melding atmospheric moments with a club-ready beat. The five-minute track goes through a few different movements while never letting up on the rhythm. Owens previously said of the EP: "This EP is about embodying sound and those collective, physical experiences we only really have in clubs or at music events. Sonically, it's very visceral. I've been drawn to sounds that…
Billie Eilish Thought ‘Birds Of A Feather’ Was ‘Kind Of Stupid’ And Wanted To Cut It From The Album
Billie Eilish's "Birds Of A Feather" was a massive hit. It somehow never hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, but it has racked up over 3.1 billion streams and was one of 2024's defining songs. In a new Wall Street Journal feature, though, Eilish says she frequently wanted to cut the song from Hit Me Hard And Soft. The piece notes that Eilish and Finneas struggled to finish the song for 11 months, "retooling the chorus and struggling to find a way to deploy the line 'I’ll love you till the day that I die' in a…
Every Animal Collective Album, Ranked
One important thing I've learned over my past two decades as a professional music writer is that revulsion or outright hostility isn't the worst reaction you can have to a first listen. Feelings that strong are worth exploring and interrogating and they frequently boomerang into curiosity and fascination. Sometimes, maybe even obsession. And so having come out the other side to make a list like this, I have no problem admitting my first impression of Animal Collective upon hearing Sung Tongs in 2004: I fucking hated it. All that whooping and hollering and the cutesy imagery, it felt like a…
MF DOOM’s New Merch Drop Is A Love Letter To The New York Knicks
Ever since MF DOOM's passing five years ago, the only photos you can get of the late masked rapper on Getty almost all feature him wearing some form of New York Knicks gear. Which is usually kind of sad (having to recycle so many pics is a sad reminder of what we've lost), but today, is pretty fitting. MF DOOM's estate has teamed up with Mitchell & Ness and New Era for an exclusive merch collection dropping on Halloween -- the five-year anniversary of DOOM's transition. The collection essentially works as a love letter to the Knicks. In addition to…
Mike Dean’s ‘Sound Check’ Challenge Pits Pink Floyd Against Travis Scott For His Favorite Tracks
The latest guest on Sound Check with Jeremy Hecht is superproducer Mike Dean. Dean is best known for his work with Kanye West, The Weeknd, and Travis Scott, so you know Jeremy had to pit Mike's favorite collaborators against each other -- and against his classic inspirations. Here’s how it works: Jeremy plays two songs for the guest artist, who has to choose one and explain their choice, giving Jeremy a chance to learn their musical taste. Jeremy then has to guess the artist’s life anthem, the song they’d take to a desert island, which the guest wrote down earlier…
