Join Here:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠⁠Analytic Dreamz dives deep into the massive success of PinkPantheress and Zara Larsson's "Stateside + Zara Larsson" remix in this segment. Originally from PinkPantheress' 2025 mixtape Fancy That, the track blends big beat, drum & bass, and R&B with themes of early-crush longing and touring romance. The October 10, 2025 remix—part of the Fancy Some More? LP—reworked production for a bubblegum, Bratz-coded vibe, standing out among features from Kylie Minogue, Bladee, and Groove Armada.The January 2026 music video, directed by Charlotte Rutherford, delivered a creative "battle of aesthetics": PinkPantheress' tartan/red dream world vs. Larsson's sequin/glitter Midnight Sun style, with mannequins and a symbolic barrier collapse uniting their visions—racking up over 10 million views in under 10 days and 13+ million soon after.The real catalyst hit February 21, 2026, when Olympic gold medalist Alysa Liu (first American woman to win women's figure skating gold since 2002) performed to the remix at the 2026 Winter Olympics Exhibition Gala in Milan. Zara Larsson reacted on TikTok, sparking viral choreography recreations. Luminate data showed an 88% U.S. on-demand streaming surge to ~1.8 million daily streams by February 23.Chart dominance followed: Billboard Hot 100 peak at #30 (debut #100), #1 on US Hot Dance/Pop Songs and US Spotify (1.57M+ daily peak, dethroning Bad Bunny), top 10 on Apple Music US. UK Singles Chart #3 (PinkPantheress' 3rd top-20), plus strong peaks in Canada (#22), Sweden (#9), Australia (#11), and global Spotify #2–3 range.This ties into PinkPantheress' historic 2026 BRIT Producer of the Year win—the first woman and youngest ever—plus her first Grammy nods. For Zara Larsson, it fueled major U.S. resurgence alongside "Lush Life" revival.Analytic Dreamz breaks down the streaming-driven rise, Y2K nostalgia cycle, remix strategy impact, critical praise (NME, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork highlighting the UKG revival), and cultural significance of this viral worlds-collide moment.Tune in for the full analysis on Analytic Dreamz—unfiltered takes on pop's biggest breakthroughs.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/exclusive-contentPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This episode of Across The Margin : The Podcast features an interview with Jonathan Bernstein, a senior research editor and writer at Rolling Stone, who before that was a freelancer for Oxford American, The Guardian, GQ, Vulture, Pitchfork, The Village Voice, Spin, Entertainment Weekly, and American Songwriter. His book, What Do You Do When You're Lonesome : The Authorized Biography of Justin Townes Earle, is the focus of this episode. In What To Do When You're Lonely, Jonathan Bernstein, with the full cooperation of the Justin Townes Earle estate, unravels a short but incredibly creative life, and reveals the backstories behind Justin's greatest songs and what happened when it all fell apart while also capturing a shadow world of the neglected children of Nashville legends who wrestle with the legacies of their hard-living, road-weary, often absent parents.

Join Here: https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0KDon Toliver unleashes his fifth studio album OCTANE, released January 30, 2026, via Cactus Jack/Atlantic. Building on the high-octane energy of 2024's Hardstone Psycho, this 18-track project continues the "more fuel consumption" theme with explosive melodic trap-R&B fusion, heavy bass, beat switches, and motorhead-inspired motifs.The Houston native—known for auto-tuned vocals, soulful hooks, and viral TikTok smashes like “No Idea” and “After Party”—delivers high-energy anthems from the jump. Standout features include Yeat on “Rendezvous,” Rema on “Secondhand,” Travis Scott on “Rosary,” Teezo Touchdown on “All The Signs,” and SahBabii, amplifying cross-genre reach from trap to Afrobeats adjacency.Analytic Dreamz on Notorious Mass Effect breaks down the sonic profile: futuristic production, strong opening sequences, and vocal prowess that elevate the ride, despite some critics noting mid-album stretches and perceived bloat.Critical reception splits—Pitchfork awards 6.5/10 for personality and features amid underwhelming moments, while Clash praises 8/10 for cohesion and consistency. User scores on Album of the Year hover 60–80, highlighting production futurism and debate over editing.Commercially, OCTANE marks Don Toliver's first #1 debut on Billboard 200 with ~135K–157K first-week units (including ~20K pure sales via vinyl/merch bundles), nearly doubling Hardstone Psycho's peak and claiming 2026's biggest opening so far. Pre-release buzz from lead single “Tiramisu” (Sept 2025), pop-ups, Reebok collabs, and playlist optimization fueled streaming dominance.This rollout cements Toliver's Tier-1 escalation: sustained growth, merchandising muscle, and strategic features driving global consumption in melodic trap's core demographic. Analytic Dreamz explores how OCTANE solidifies his place as a consistent hitmaker blending accessibility with experimental edge. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Descubre la historia detrás de “Blackstar”, el último y revolucionario álbum de David Bowie, publicado el 8 de enero de 2016 como despedida artística justo el día de su 69 cumpleaños. En este episodio analizamos el contexto creativo del disco, desde su regreso con “The Next Day” y el éxito de la exposición “David Bowie Is” hasta las sesiones secretas en The Magic Shop de Nueva York junto al productor Tony Visconti. Comentamos cómo Bowie fichó a la banda de jazz de Donny McCaslin para dar forma a un sonido híbrido entre jazz moderno, rock experimental y electrónica, influenciado por Kendrick Lamar, Death Grips, D'Angelo, Boards of Canada y Portishead. Nos adentramos en los temas centrales del álbum: mortalidad, renacimiento, identidad cambiante e introspección espiritual, que convierten a “Blackstar” en una auténtica obra-testamento. Repasamos cortes clave como “Blackstar”, “Lazarus”, “Dollar Days” o “I Can't Give Everything Away”, desgranando letras, arreglos y simbología, incluida la conexión con el musical “Lazarus” y el personaje de Thomas Newton de “The Man Who Fell to Earth”. También hablamos de la impresionante recepción crítica: máximas puntuaciones en medios como AllMusic y valoraciones excelentes en Rolling Stone, Pitchfork y Rate Your Music, donde se sitúa entre los mejores discos de la década y de toda su carrera. Si te apasiona David Bowie, el rock experimental y quieres entender por qué “Blackstar” es considerada una de las despedidas más épicas de la historia de la música moderna, este episodio es para ti.

There's no doubt Pitchfork is the most important music criticism magazine this century, once the epicenter of the music world. The last decade or more has seen them slide further away from both their implied mission statement and success. Now a pay wall has gone up and that will likely be the end of many ends. But Vale Pitchfork.

This Week/Tonight! We sat down with Mike Huguenor of Hard Girls, Shinobu and Death Rosenstock, who walks us through his love for Slow Gherkin's classic record, Shed Some Skin.Also up for discussion: We grill Mike about every single aspect of his life and career including his recent record and upcoming book "Elvis Is Dead, I'm Still Alive: The Story of Asian Man Records", Pitchfork goes premium, and the Arctic Monkeys turn old enough to vote plus 2 years depending on your municipal government's laws.

Join Here: ⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠The latest Notorious Mass Effect segment examines Zach Bryan's bold sixth studio album, With Heaven on Top, released January 9, 2026, via Belting Bronco/Warner Records. Hosted by Analytic Dreamz, this in-depth review covers the 25-track project (runtime ~78 minutes), entirely written and produced by Bryan in Tulsa-area Oklahoma homes, blending raw Americana, folk, and outlaw country with themes of sobriety, recovery, marriage, past relationships, loss, addiction, fatherhood doubts, and American identity tensions.Just three days later, on January 12, Bryan dropped a 24-track acoustic version—raw, one-take recordings with intentional imperfections—to counter overproduction critiques, preserving his authentic roots. Standout tracks include "Skin" (addressing his 2023–2024 breakup with Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia, tattoos, and sobriety), "Plastic Cigarettes" (emotional depth), "Runny Eggs" and "Camper" (softer nods to his New Year's Eve 2025 marriage to Samantha Leonard in Spain), and the controversial "Bad News" (politically charged ICE references and fading American dream).Critical reception praises Bryan's vulnerability and storytelling—Rolling Stone calls it his "most considered and accomplished," Pitchfork notes his growth on a "larger canvas" (7.0 rating), while others highlight emotional power amid excessive length causing fatigue. The album reinforces Bryan's status as a generation-defining force in Americana, post-Navy service (honorably discharged 2021), with massive catalog success (~$350M sale in 2025), billions in streams, and a 2026 stadium tour featuring MJ Lenderman, Dijon, and Alabama Shakes.Analytic Dreamz breaks down personal reflections, buzz tracks, controversies, and why With Heaven on Top delivers an unflinching portrait of flux in modern life, solidifying Bryan's raw honesty despite debates over sprawl.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Linktree: ⁠https://linktr.ee/Analytic⁠Join The Normandy For Additional Bonus Audio And Visual Content For All Things Nme+! Join Here: ⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠ In this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz offers a focused, data-driven breakdown of Zach Bryan's introspective album track “Plastic Cigarette” from his new project With Heaven On Top, released January 9–10, 2026, via Warner Records / Belting Bronco Records.Born 1996 in Oologah, Oklahoma, Zach Bryan rose from raw, self-uploaded songs during his 7–8 years in the U.S. Navy (honorable discharge 2021) to major-label success with American Heartbreak (2022, No. 1 Top Country Albums), the self-titled Zach Bryan (2023), and a Grammy win for “I Remember Everything” (with Kacey Musgraves). His signature style—introspective, emotionally raw Americana, folk, outlaw country—prioritizes authenticity over polish.“Plastic Cigarette” (track 15) debuted live in Dublin, Ireland (summer 2025) and quickly became a fan favorite. The understated, reflective song explores emotional longing, regret, artificial coping mechanisms, and the metaphor of a “plastic cigarette” as a substitute for genuine connection. Critics praise its use of space, warmth, minimalism, and atmospheric restraint over hook-driven structure (noted by Pitchfork, Stereogum, Holler.country, StayFreeRadioIP).As a non-lead single, it lacks immediate chart entries (no Hot 100, Hot Country Songs, or UK Singles peaks as of January 13, 2026), but benefits from album-wide streaming surges, fan playlist placement (~1.7K saves on one reported list), strong Reddit/social engagement, and organic discovery. No significant radio push or media syncs yet.Bryan reinforces his unfiltered ethos with a full acoustic version of With Heaven On Top—recorded solo, one-take per song, no overdubs—dropping just three days post-album to preempt overproduction critiques. The project was recorded across three Oklahoma houses in winter, emphasizing live takes, minimal polish, emotional immediacy, and collaboration with close friends as a return to spiritual, less commercial roots.Analytic Dreamz examines how “Plastic Cigarette” aligns with Bryan's pattern: slow-burn traction for non-singles, growth via live teases, fan-driven long-tail streaming, and tour amplification. The upcoming With Heaven On Tour (March–October 2026) hits stadiums across the U.S. (Raymond James, Bank of America, Gillette, Empower Field, multiple nights at Tottenham Hotspur), UK (Anfield), Ireland, and Europe (Spain, Germany, Norway, Denmark, Netherlands), setting the stage for sustained catalog and album momentum.Join Analytic Dreamz for this no-fluff analysis of a deeply resonant, authenticity-first track poised for organic growth in 2026.

Rick Fröberg was an accomplished artist and musician born in Southern California who spent most of his early creative years in San Diego before moving to New York, and then back to San Diego toward the end of his life. While juggling both of his creative outlets, he established a meaningful, urgent, vital, and powerful platform. Plenty for All: The Art of Rick Fröberg (Akashic Books, 2026) represents the many chapters and layers of his visual art practice. All of the different bodies of work he made are examined in detail—presenting the viewer with a well-rounded survey of his life's work, mostly in chronological order. One of the most compelling and fascinating aspects of this volume is the physical progression of Fröberg's line work and brushstroke, and his eventual adaptation to digital means. His artwork was often featured on the record covers of his own bands, as well as other groups he met on the road, and much of his early work also appeared on posters, flyers, ads, skateboard graphics, logos, and T-shirt designs, before eventually progressing to illustrations in magazines, books, and newspapers. Fröberg's paintings, drawings, etchings, and prints were also shown at art exhibitions throughout his career. Plenty for All is the first look at his visual artwork in book form. It will be of great interest across the globe to his many fans (he played in a range of popular bands, including Pitchfork, Drive like Jehu, Hot Snakes, and Obits). Fröberg's work has become very influential, and an inspiration to quite a large group of people in both the art and music worlds. He is sadly missed and mourned, but this volume will no doubt further his creative legacy. It includes short essays by curator Rich Jacobs and musician/artist Sohrab Habibion.

The 26-year-old Memphis trap star, known for his raw street storytelling and aggressive beats, was released from federal prison on October 6, 2025, after serving three years of a 63-month sentence. During incarceration, Pooh Shiesty focused on personal growth—building a workout routine, daily reading for sharper focus, temper control, emotional maturity, and a deeper spiritual connection. Now sober and grounded, he views this as his "second chance" with clearer vision.His post-release single "FDO" (First Day Out), dropped December 12, 2025, produced by longtime collaborator TP808s, celebrates freedom and perseverance. The introspective yet confident track blends classic Shiesty aggression with matured lyricism, earning praise from XXL and Pitchfork as a fiery, authentic return. With "Back in Blood" ft. Lil Durk now 8× Platinum and surging streams (over 6M monthly Spotify listeners), Pooh Shiesty confirmed an upcoming album in a recent Apple Music interview with Ebro Darden—expected soon, channeling prison lessons, faith, and real-life experiences under Gucci Mane's mentorship. Analytic Dreamz breaks down why this redemption arc makes Pooh Shiesty one of hip-hop's most watched stories into 2026.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The band Air is a duo from Versailles, France. Their first EP came out in 1995, followed by their critically acclaimed debut album, ‘Moon Safari,' which was an international hit. Then they made the music for the film ‘The Virgin Suicides,‘ which was written and directed by Oscar-winner Sofia Coppola, based on the novel by Jeffrey Eugenides. The movie came out in 1999, and it was Sofia Coppola's first film. An album version of Air's score came out in 2000, and it was nominated for a Brit award. Pitchfork put it at number four on their list of the best film scores of all time. In addition to the instrumental music that appears in the movie, Air also wrote a song for the end credits called “Playground Love.” That song featured Sofia Coppola's future husband, Thomas Mars, from the French band Phoenix, on vocals. Phoenix was still a very new band, and he and Sofia hadn't even met yet. Thomas appears on the song under the name Gordon Tracks. So for this episode, I spoke to all of them: Nicolas and JB from Air; Sofia Coppola; Thomas Mars; as well as Brian Reitzell, the music supervisor of the film.For more info, visit songexploder.net/air.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 17, 2025 is: espouse • ih-SPOWZ • verb To espouse an ideology, belief, etc., is to take it up and support it as a cause. Espouse is usually encountered in formal speech and writing. // The article explores some of the lesser-known viewpoints espoused by the charismatic leader. See the entry > Examples: “Crammed into a tiny apartment in Greenwich Village, they [Yoko Ono and John Lennon] immersed themselves in the city's counterculture, absorbing progressive politics whenever they weren't glued to the television set. Lennon's celebrity secured the duo a large platform to espouse these ideas ...” — Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Pitchfork, 11 Oct. 2025 Did you know? As you might guess, the words espouse and spouse are hitched, both coming from the Latin verb spondēre, meaning “to promise” or “to betroth.” In fact, the two were once completely interchangeable, with each serving as a noun meaning “a newly married person” or “a partner in marriage” and also as a verb meaning “to marry.” Their semantic separation began when the noun espouse fell out of use. Nowadays, espouse is almost exclusively encountered as a verb used in the figuratively extended sense “to commit to and support as a cause.”

In this week's episode, Steph delivers a fiery hot take that's been brewing all year: the dangerous trend of "pitchfork marketing" and how it's keeping brilliant women small, scared, and self-doubting.If you've ever seen successful coaches torn apart online, called "scammers" or "predatory" simply for charging premium prices, this episode will hit home. Steph breaks down how this anti-coach rhetoric has become an attention strategy that ironically does more harm than the "predators" it claims to expose.This conversation is a must-listen if you've ever thought:"Am I charging too much? What if people think I'm a scam?" "Maybe I should lower my prices so I don't upset anyone." "I don't want to end up getting canceled."Steph shares her own costly experience of shrinking back from a $80K job because she fell for this narrative, and why 2026 needs to be the year we stop telling women to stay small.______________________ Year on the Wall 2026 Traininghttp://yearonthewall.com/Free Sales Training: 3 Simple Steps to Make a Sale in 24 hours https://stephcrowder.com/sdsclass Join the Sold Out Group Programs Mastermind Waitlist https://stephcrowder.com/sogp Connect with Steph Instagram: @heystephcrowder

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 6, 2025 is: sensibility • sen-suh-BIL-uh-tee • noun Sensibility is a formal word often used in its plural form to refer someone's personal or cultural approach to what they encounter, as in “the speaker made sure to tailor his speech to the sensibilities of his audience.” Sensibility can also be used for the kind of feelings a person tends to have in general, as well as for the ability to feel and understand emotions. // Many older cartoons feel out of line with modern sensibilities. // She brought an artistic sensibility to every facet of her life, not just her celebrated painting. See the entry > Examples: “[Lady] Gaga's absurdist sensibilities have long been an underrated facet of her work—probably because she's so good at delivering them with a straight face.” — Rich Juzwiak, Pitchfork, 10 Mar. 2025 Did you know? The meanings of sensibility run the gamut from mere sensation to excessive sentimentality, but we're here to help you make sense of it all. In between is a capacity for delicate appreciation, a sense often pluralized. In Jane Austen's books, sensibility is mostly an admirable quality she attributes to, or finds lacking in, her characters: “He had ... a sensibility to what was amiable and lovely” (of Mr. Elliot in Persuasion). In Sense and Sensibility, however, Austen starts out by ascribing to Marianne sensibleness, on the one hand, but an “excess of sensibility” on the other: “Her sorrows, her joys, could have no moderation ... she was everything but prudent.”
