Netflix has announced a new original series, The Innocents, coming soon to the streaming service, and damn, it looks good. The eight-episode series stars Sorcha Groundsell as June and Percelle Ascott as Harry, in what sounds like a Romeo and Juliet-inspired story of a star-crossed love — with a tw..

Today (February 15), Jay Rock released the video for "King's Dead," the first single from his upcoming album and the second song released from Black Panther: The Album. Directed by Dave Free (of the Little Homies) and Jack Begert, the visual for "King's Dead" is a trippy affair. Kendrick L..

There are a few certainties in this crazy world: The sky is blue. Basketballs are round. Christmas is on December 25. And Ed Sheeran makes pop music. Only... that latter statement may not actually be true anymore. The Brit singer recently revealed that he’s already started writing the follow-up to..

In the hours following the devastating shooting at a Florida high school — which took the lives of at least 17 people and marks the 18th school shooting in 2018, for which we've only had 45 days so far (that's a shooting every two and a half days, or one every 60 hours) — I watched dozens of news clips to try to piece together what happened. Nearly every video I clicked on was generally the same. A stoic, resigned newscaster explained what happened while footage played of students fleeing the campus. Arial shots of SWAT team members circling the building and officers putting the alleged shooter into the back of a police car. Then, nearly every reporter announced that there was a video filmed from inside a classroom during the active shooting. A video taken by a student who posted it to Snapchat. A rare glimpse at what it was really like inside. Before playing this video, they all — every single one of those reporters, anchors, and newscasters — warned viewers of the graphi..

To call Sudan Archives "impressive" is accurate, but also a massive understatement. Born Brittney Parks, the self-taught violinist and vocalist controls nearly every facet of her burgeoning career: she writes, plays, and produces her own music, which draws inspiration from the rich sounds of African fiddles and is steeped in R&B-tinged electronic beats. Sudan Archives's debut self-titled EP, released in July 2017, boasts six tracks that I have found myself describing to others as "highly swayable." Her vocals are airy yet powerful — especially in the fierce "Wake Up" and the sultry and uplifting "Come Meh Way." Lyrics like "I just can't escape, I get blown away / When you come meh way, when you come meh way" border on ecclesiastical. Perhaps the best part is that at just 24 years old, she is only getting started. Sudan Archives answers the phone the same way your childhood best friend did: giggly and excited and happy to hear from you, even though it's been 10 minutes..
