Gab Ferreira invites us for a spin in “Carrossel.”

In her latest single, “Carrossel”, Gab Ferreira beckons us into her wonderland and dares us to dream with eyes open. For Gab, each project “is an invitation to reconnect with that pure feeling of making music. It’s not just about meeting expectations, but about following my true desire to create something new and authentic.” Dreamy and introspective, the song is bedroom pop spun from gossamer and early summer sunlight and reflects “on the cycles of life, especially regarding the creative process and art,“ she muses. The Brazilian artist first caught the world's attention in 2018 with her viral song, “Not Yours”. Since then, she has decidedly made a name for herself in her home country, performing in some of Brazil’s biggest festivals including Primavera Sound São Paulo and Lollapalooza Brazil. Now at 24-years-old, Gab shows us how she’s further evolved in her sonic identity while maintaining the diaphanous quality characteristic of her music.

After nearly two years, Kyle Lux is back with “Me Oh Mr. Me.”

From his upcoming EP, Blue Hour, “Me Oh Mr. Me” feels closest to the tender heart and reveals the interiority of a self aware, resigned lover standing at the beginning of the end.  A place many of us have known—where love is a waning moon—Kyle takes us adrift “between being unhappy in a relationship and breaking apart.” When you’re at the seams but you want to “stay anyways out of fear of being alone, or not feeling anything at all,” he describes. There is both love and the release of control. “Me Oh Mr. Me” gently acknowledges that sometimes, the last stretch of a relationship can be a period for grieving something that once was. Self aware, layered, and dreamy, Blue Hour is as colorful as it is honest and shows the journey was all worth it.

Cate Blanchett “wields absolute command over the stage” and “fills it completely” with her charisma in The Seagull.

Thomas Ostermeier and Duncan Macmillan’s modern adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s The Seagull masterfully balances humor and melancholy and holds the audience captive with a deceptively simple plot made profound with philosophical ideas on the role of love and art in the human condition. Ashley New from Strand Magazine describes Blanchett’s glittering performance as “an entrance that will be remembered for years, she struts up with sunglasses and a bright purple jumpsuit, then proceeds to start rapping Hamlet into a microphone. Yet, in spite of the eccentricity, Blanchett’s Arkadina upholds equal parts grace and comedy and captures our respect throughout.” The rest of the cast are just as powerful and electrify the otherwise stagnant Russian countryside with thwarted love and behavior powered by fragile egos.

Tiger La Flor gets over 50 million views as her latest single, “LASSO THE MOON” captivates romantics worldwide.

LASSO THE MOON” accompanies a video series documenting the singer’s parents through more than three decades of a happy partnership marked by a characteristic easygoingness that had millions inspired, pining, or vision-boarding their own epic romance to the lilting, dreamy opener on the singer’s newest EP, Drugstore Cowgirl.

Brandon Flynn is all charisma as a young Marlon Brando in Kowalski.

The play offers a fascinating exploration of the meeting between two vanguards of 20th-century theater: Tennessee Williams (Robin Lord Taylor) and Marlon Brando (Brandon Flynn). Over the course of a single night, we witness how this seismic encounter influenced Williams' masterpiece, A Streetcar Named Desire.

Sheridan Smith brings glamour and groundedness to a whirlwind Opening Night.

Based on John Cassavetes' 1977 film, the musical is layered, stimulating, and compassionate to the women in the story. According to The Guardian, “Opening Night is an extravagantly original production, every bit as eccentric as the film but also its own alchemical creation, more vivacious in this musical incarnation,” with the award-winning and “insuppressibly likable” Sheridan Smith as the lead.
