Jack Antonoff was in charge of curating the soundtrack for the Apple TV+ series The New Look, and he did a fantastic job. The star-studded tracklist is in, and it includes some of the world’s top artists, from Lana Del Rey to Florence + the Machine.

Antonoff took to Instagram to announce The New Look soundtrack, which marks the first release from his new label Shadow of the City, an imprint of Dirty Hit. He said that he “loved every minute of re-making these wartime songs with some of [his] favorite artists” before sharing the full tracklist with the world.

“White Cliffs of Dover” by Florence + The Machine will be released as the soundtrack’s first song on January 31, ahead of The New Look premiere on February 15. This series is set in the competitive fashion world of World War II Paris and chronicles the rivalry between Christian Dior and Coco Chanel.

The star-studded soundtrack will also feature contributions from Antonoff’s frequent collaborator Lana Del Rey, plus The 1975, Beabadoobee, Nick Cave, and Perfume Genius. Antonoff’s own band Bleachers will also appear on the soundtrack, and they’re currently gearing up for the release of their fourth self-titled studio album, set to hit the shelves on March 8.

Margaret Qualley made a cameo in Bleachers’s music video for “Alma Mater”, and there’s more where that came from! The Emmy-nominated actress and the wife of the Bleachers frontman Jack Antonoff stepped into the spotlight in the music video for their new single “Tiny Moves”.

The carefree visual, which Qualley co-directed with Alex Lockett, sees her approaching a waterfront overlooking New York City and breaking into a joyful dance routine in a beautiful white dress. As the video nears its end, she approaches Antonoff who’s been waiting for her the entire time, and they embrace as the sun rises over the Big Apple.

Qualley choreographed the whole performance herself and they got it on camera a few weeks before the couple’s wedding last summer.

“I just love dancing and wanted to make up a dance for one of Jack’s songs on his next album. This song was just really poppy and fun, and it was so fun to dance to. I kind of wanted it to feel like a love letter to Jack and something that I’d want to show the kids one day,” Qualley told The Rolling Stone.

Bleachers are currently gearing up for the release of their self-titled fourth studio album, which will hit the shelves on March 8 and feature previously released singles “Modern Girl” and “Alma Mater”.

Bleachers set the stage for their fourth self-titled studio album with the new single “Alma Mater”, and its music video is finally here. The star-studded visual is as amazing as the song itself and it features cameos from the indie music icons Lana Del Rey and Clairo.

Directed by Alex Lockett, the “Alma Mater” visual sees the Bleachers frontman cruising through the streets of New Jersey in the middle of the night. He encounters many dreamlike scenes and colorful characters along the way, including Clairo standing under a bus stop holding a plant and his wife Margaret Qualley crossing the street.

Several shots of Lana Del Rey, who co-wrote this song alongside Antonoff are also scattered throughout the video. She’s one of his most frequent A-list collaborators, and they’ve been working together since her Grammy-nominated album Norman Fu—ing Rockwell!

In an official press release announcing the band’s fourth studio album, Antonoff described “Alma Mater” as “a weird little magic gem where I’m not really sure why all the pieces are coming together, but they are in this really special way to me.”

Bleachers will be released via Dirty Hit on March 8, 2024, and it will feature a total of 14 songs, including the lead single “Modern Girl”.

Jack Antonoff has been pretty busy with his work as a producer in recent months, but that didn’t stop him from recording a brand-new album with his band. Bleachers announced their fourth, self-titled studio album and dropped a new single “Alma Mater” to promote its release.

It’s been over two years since Bleachers rocked our world with their third studio album Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night, and its follow-up is finally on the horizon. The band’s fourth studio album will simply be called Bleachers, and it will hit the shelves on March 8, 2024.

The official press release by the band’s new label Dirty Hit says this album will give us Antonoff’s “distinctly New Jersey take on the bizarre sensory contradictions of modern life.” It also describes it as a sad and joyful record that features music “for driving on the highway to and for crying to and for dancing to at weddings.”

The announcement of Bleachers’ fourth studio album was preceded by the single “Modern Girl”, one of 14 tracks on their new record. The album announcement was accompanied by the release of the second single “Alma Mater” featuring Antonoff’s frequent collaborator Lana Del Rey. The band will promote the album’s release with a series of headlining tour dates in the UK next March.

SZA made quite a splash with her sophomore album SOS and its lead single “Kill Bill”, and she’s finally getting credit where credit is due. The Recording Academy unveiled nominations for the upcoming Grammy Awards, and SZA is leading the way with nine nominations.

SZA scored nods in most of the night’s main categories, starting with album of the year. SOS will have to beat tough completion in Taylor Swift’s Midnights, Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts, Janelle Monáe’s The Age of Pleasure, Miley Cyrus’ Endless Summer Vacation, Lana Del Rey’s Ocean Blvd, Boygenius’s The Record, and Jon Batiste’s World Music Radio to take this award home.

Her smash hit “Kill Bill” will be competing for both song and record of the year, and it’s in pretty good company. The list of songs that made it to both of these categories also includes Swift’s “Anti-Hero”, Rodrigo’s “Vampire”, Cyrus’ “Flowers”, Batiste’s “Butterfly”, and Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” are also in the running in both categories.

Victoria Monét, Phoebe Bridgers, and Serban Ghenea are also among the major nominees at this year’s Grammys with seven nominations. Jack Antonoff, Jon Batiste, Brandy Clark, Boygenius, Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, and Taylor Swift are right behind with six each.

It’s been four years since Taylor Swift released her song “Cruel Summer”, and its climb to the top of the charts was a joy to watch. After experiencing viral popularity and being released as an official single a few months ago, “Cruel Summer” finally reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Seeing “Cruel Summer” ascend to the summit is a huge deal considering how long it’s been since this song was initially released. It was a part of Swift’s seventh studio album Lover, which came out in 2019, but it was overshadowed by other splashier singles despite quickly becoming a fan favorite.

“Cruel Summer” experienced a huge renaissance in recent months, and Swift’s record-breaking The Eras Tour deserves all the credit for putting it back on the map. The singer eventually decided to honor it by releasing The Cruelest Summer EP, featuring the original song, live performance, and Giobbi remix.

“Cruel Summer” is Swift’s tenth song to top the Billboard Hot 100, and she thanked her fans for making it happen alongside her frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff.

“We just wanted to say thank you so much for making ‘Cruel Summer’ a Hot 100 No. 1. It’s not even summer anymore – it’s deep fall, I’m wearing a sweater. We love you guys!” said Swift in the video shared on her Instagram.

Charli XCX and Jack Antonoff are both amazing songwriters in their own right, and they’ll soon join forces to create something extortionary together. The duo has been tapped to write and produce original songs for the upcoming film Mother Mary.

Mother Mary has been described as “an epic pop melodrama” about a fictional pop superstar and her complicated relationship with an iconic fashion designer. Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel will play the lead roles, while David Lowery is set to direct.

Twitter went crazy right after this project was announced, especially after learning that Charli XCX and Antonoff will write the original music for this film. Given their joint writing credentials, the film’s soundtrack will be nothing short of a masterpiece, and the expectations are running high.

Charli XCX most recently composed music for the teen comedy film Bottoms and received rave reviews for her fifth studio album Crash. She also wrote music for many other artists over the years, including Olivia Rodrigo, Selena Gomez, Iggy Azalea, and Camila Cabello.

As for Antonoff, he’s currently one of the most sought-after producers and songwriters in Hollywood. In addition to receiving acclaim for his recent collaborations with Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey, he’s also working on his own music with Bleachers.

SZA’s new album is currently on the way and it will feature a long list of amazing collaborators – including our favorite pop singer Justin Timberlake.

The 28-year-old R&B singer discussed her upcoming album in a recent interview with Kerwin Frost and admitted she was pretty surprised to see how great her collaboration with Timberlake turned out.

“Before I was like, ‘What the f**k am I doing in the studio with Justin Timberlake right now? This is crazy. But when I heard his music and we started singing together… It’s like, ‘Oh, we speak the same language. The same frequency.’ I understood where he was going before he could finish a run,” explained SZA.

Her next album still doesn’t have a release date, but she said it’s coming our way soon. To make the whole thing even better, she partnered up with several other amazing songwriters on this record. She hit the studio alongside Post Malone, Jack Antonoff and BROCKHAMPTON, and we’re really hoping these collaborations will make their way to her next album.

Lana Del Rey has been teasing her sixth studio album for months now, and we finally know when it’s coming our way. The famous singer recently announced we’ll get to hear her new record sometime next month.

Del Rey still hasn’t revealed the official release date of her next album Norman F***ing Rockwell, but we won’t have to wait for it for too long. During a recent appearance at FIB Benicàssim Festival in Spain, the singer told the crowd her new LP is “coming out next month”.

She already shared a couple of singles with her fans, including “Mariners Apartment Complex” and “Venice Bitch”, but we’re yet to hear title track “Norman F***ing Rockwell” that she wrote alongside Bleachers frontman, Jack Antonoff.

“Working with Jack, I was in a little bit of a lighter mood because he was so funny. So the title track is called ‘Norman F***ing Rockwell’ and it’s kind of about this guy who is such a genius artist, he thinks he’s the sh** and he knows it and he won’t shut up talking about it,” said Lana Del Rey while chatting with Zane Lowe on his radio show.

Jack Antonoff was in charge of curating the soundtrack for the Apple TV+ series The New Look, and he did a fantastic job. The star-studded tracklist is in, and it includes some of the world’s top artists, from Lana Del Rey to Florence + the Machine.

Antonoff took to Instagram to announce The New Look soundtrack, which marks the first release from his new label Shadow of the City, an imprint of Dirty Hit. He said that he “loved every minute of re-making these wartime songs with some of [his] favorite artists” before sharing the full tracklist with the world.

“White Cliffs of Dover” by Florence + The Machine will be released as the soundtrack’s first song on January 31, ahead of The New Look premiere on February 15. This series is set in the competitive fashion world of World War II Paris and chronicles the rivalry between Christian Dior and Coco Chanel.

The star-studded soundtrack will also feature contributions from Antonoff’s frequent collaborator Lana Del Rey, plus The 1975, Beabadoobee, Nick Cave, and Perfume Genius. Antonoff’s own band Bleachers will also appear on the soundtrack, and they’re currently gearing up for the release of their fourth self-titled studio album, set to hit the shelves on March 8.

Margaret Qualley made a cameo in Bleachers’s music video for “Alma Mater”, and there’s more where that came from! The Emmy-nominated actress and the wife of the Bleachers frontman Jack Antonoff stepped into the spotlight in the music video for their new single “Tiny Moves”.

The carefree visual, which Qualley co-directed with Alex Lockett, sees her approaching a waterfront overlooking New York City and breaking into a joyful dance routine in a beautiful white dress. As the video nears its end, she approaches Antonoff who’s been waiting for her the entire time, and they embrace as the sun rises over the Big Apple.

Qualley choreographed the whole performance herself and they got it on camera a few weeks before the couple’s wedding last summer.

“I just love dancing and wanted to make up a dance for one of Jack’s songs on his next album. This song was just really poppy and fun, and it was so fun to dance to. I kind of wanted it to feel like a love letter to Jack and something that I’d want to show the kids one day,” Qualley told The Rolling Stone.

Bleachers are currently gearing up for the release of their self-titled fourth studio album, which will hit the shelves on March 8 and feature previously released singles “Modern Girl” and “Alma Mater”.

Bleachers set the stage for their fourth self-titled studio album with the new single “Alma Mater”, and its music video is finally here. The star-studded visual is as amazing as the song itself and it features cameos from the indie music icons Lana Del Rey and Clairo.

Directed by Alex Lockett, the “Alma Mater” visual sees the Bleachers frontman cruising through the streets of New Jersey in the middle of the night. He encounters many dreamlike scenes and colorful characters along the way, including Clairo standing under a bus stop holding a plant and his wife Margaret Qualley crossing the street.

Several shots of Lana Del Rey, who co-wrote this song alongside Antonoff are also scattered throughout the video. She’s one of his most frequent A-list collaborators, and they’ve been working together since her Grammy-nominated album Norman Fu—ing Rockwell!

In an official press release announcing the band’s fourth studio album, Antonoff described “Alma Mater” as “a weird little magic gem where I’m not really sure why all the pieces are coming together, but they are in this really special way to me.”

Bleachers will be released via Dirty Hit on March 8, 2024, and it will feature a total of 14 songs, including the lead single “Modern Girl”.

Jack Antonoff has been pretty busy with his work as a producer in recent months, but that didn’t stop him from recording a brand-new album with his band. Bleachers announced their fourth, self-titled studio album and dropped a new single “Alma Mater” to promote its release.

It’s been over two years since Bleachers rocked our world with their third studio album Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night, and its follow-up is finally on the horizon. The band’s fourth studio album will simply be called Bleachers, and it will hit the shelves on March 8, 2024.

The official press release by the band’s new label Dirty Hit says this album will give us Antonoff’s “distinctly New Jersey take on the bizarre sensory contradictions of modern life.” It also describes it as a sad and joyful record that features music “for driving on the highway to and for crying to and for dancing to at weddings.”

The announcement of Bleachers’ fourth studio album was preceded by the single “Modern Girl”, one of 14 tracks on their new record. The album announcement was accompanied by the release of the second single “Alma Mater” featuring Antonoff’s frequent collaborator Lana Del Rey. The band will promote the album’s release with a series of headlining tour dates in the UK next March.

It’s been four years since Taylor Swift released her song “Cruel Summer”, and its climb to the top of the charts was a joy to watch. After experiencing viral popularity and being released as an official single a few months ago, “Cruel Summer” finally reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Seeing “Cruel Summer” ascend to the summit is a huge deal considering how long it’s been since this song was initially released. It was a part of Swift’s seventh studio album Lover, which came out in 2019, but it was overshadowed by other splashier singles despite quickly becoming a fan favorite.

“Cruel Summer” experienced a huge renaissance in recent months, and Swift’s record-breaking The Eras Tour deserves all the credit for putting it back on the map. The singer eventually decided to honor it by releasing The Cruelest Summer EP, featuring the original song, live performance, and Giobbi remix.

“Cruel Summer” is Swift’s tenth song to top the Billboard Hot 100, and she thanked her fans for making it happen alongside her frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff.

“We just wanted to say thank you so much for making ‘Cruel Summer’ a Hot 100 No. 1. It’s not even summer anymore – it’s deep fall, I’m wearing a sweater. We love you guys!” said Swift in the video shared on her Instagram.

Charli XCX and Jack Antonoff are both amazing songwriters in their own right, and they’ll soon join forces to create something extortionary together. The duo has been tapped to write and produce original songs for the upcoming film Mother Mary.

Mother Mary has been described as “an epic pop melodrama” about a fictional pop superstar and her complicated relationship with an iconic fashion designer. Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel will play the lead roles, while David Lowery is set to direct.

Twitter went crazy right after this project was announced, especially after learning that Charli XCX and Antonoff will write the original music for this film. Given their joint writing credentials, the film’s soundtrack will be nothing short of a masterpiece, and the expectations are running high.

Charli XCX most recently composed music for the teen comedy film Bottoms and received rave reviews for her fifth studio album Crash. She also wrote music for many other artists over the years, including Olivia Rodrigo, Selena Gomez, Iggy Azalea, and Camila Cabello.

As for Antonoff, he’s currently one of the most sought-after producers and songwriters in Hollywood. In addition to receiving acclaim for his recent collaborations with Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey, he’s also working on his own music with Bleachers.

SZA’s new album is currently on the way and it will feature a long list of amazing collaborators – including our favorite pop singer Justin Timberlake.

The 28-year-old R&B singer discussed her upcoming album in a recent interview with Kerwin Frost and admitted she was pretty surprised to see how great her collaboration with Timberlake turned out.

“Before I was like, ‘What the f**k am I doing in the studio with Justin Timberlake right now? This is crazy. But when I heard his music and we started singing together… It’s like, ‘Oh, we speak the same language. The same frequency.’ I understood where he was going before he could finish a run,” explained SZA.

Her next album still doesn’t have a release date, but she said it’s coming our way soon. To make the whole thing even better, she partnered up with several other amazing songwriters on this record. She hit the studio alongside Post Malone, Jack Antonoff and BROCKHAMPTON, and we’re really hoping these collaborations will make their way to her next album.

Lana Del Rey has been teasing her sixth studio album for months now, and we finally know when it’s coming our way. The famous singer recently announced we’ll get to hear her new record sometime next month.

Del Rey still hasn’t revealed the official release date of her next album Norman F***ing Rockwell, but we won’t have to wait for it for too long. During a recent appearance at FIB Benicàssim Festival in Spain, the singer told the crowd her new LP is “coming out next month”.

She already shared a couple of singles with her fans, including “Mariners Apartment Complex” and “Venice Bitch”, but we’re yet to hear title track “Norman F***ing Rockwell” that she wrote alongside Bleachers frontman, Jack Antonoff.

“Working with Jack, I was in a little bit of a lighter mood because he was so funny. So the title track is called ‘Norman F***ing Rockwell’ and it’s kind of about this guy who is such a genius artist, he thinks he’s the sh** and he knows it and he won’t shut up talking about it,” said Lana Del Rey while chatting with Zane Lowe on his radio show.
