ALBUM REVIEW: Zara Larsson – Midnight Sun
With Midnight Sun, Zara Larsson steps fully into her power, offering a record that radiates vulnerability, confidence, and the contradictions of being human. At 27, she balances reflection with playfulness, ambition with uncertainty, wrapping it all into a pop landscape that feels both intimate and euphoric.

UNDERGROUND RADAR: Artist You Need To Know - Louis Knight
Louis Knight is a singer/songwriter that leaves you with something to carry. British-born and Philly-raised, he first caught attention on American Idol, but it’s the music that came after that’s carved out his place. His songs feel like late-night conversations, the ones you remember long after the lights go out.

Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Man’s Best Friend’ Cover Artwork - A Leash, a Look, & a Lot to Say
The cover — shot by Bryce Anderson, the same photographer behind her Short n’ Sweet visuals — is everything you’d expect from pop’s most charming agent of chaos. Posing on all fours in stilettos, satin, and pure sass while a suited mystery man holds her by the hair, the image is sending the internet into a full-blown spiral. It’s provocative, it’s polarizing — and yeah, that’s the whole point.
