On the week marking the two-year anniversary of her debut album Dennis Daughter, Platinum rap star Lola Brooke releases her sophomore project, iight bet! Get it HERE via Team 80 Productions/Arista Records.
iight bet!finds Brooklyn’s breakthrough artist at a pivotal point in any artist’s journey. After fame and success, and even amid the whirlwind that comes with it—as Lola herself would attest—countless factors can sway you off the path of purpose. iight bet! serves as both a call-to-action and a manual for resilience, a reminder to get up, take charge, and redefine your own tone.
“Pain,” one of the project’s standout tracks, magnifies that theme of reinvention. In its official music video, Lola plants her feet in the grass, or in this case, on NYC concrete, reconnecting with her roots and drawing strength from her community. The result is a fierce, unapologetic statement that proves she has always been, and will forever be, in a league of her own.
On the record, Lola shares: “Just like all the songs on this EP, ‘Pain’ is an extension of iight bet! I was going through it before, but now it’s none of that. Time to pack up the crying because I’m not that girl anymore, iight? When I heard the beat, I thought it was dope. I’m always open to experimenting with new sounds. Mary got so much music about pushing through and overcoming, so her words in the ‘No More Drama’ sample, and just who she is in general, really brought a special layer to the song.”
Across seven tracks, the project delivers hard-hitting, in-your-face bangers that all circle back to the theme of Lola declaring, “iight bet!” From people who tried to write her off and moments of self-doubt to embracing love, purpose, and that undeniable urge to spit raw New York talk, she doesn’t shy away from anything. Instead, she laces up her Timbs, steps to the mic, and locks in with a confident, no-nonsense attitude. Balancing hard-hitting street anthems, reminiscent of the energy that first introduced the masses to her platinum-certified breakout hit “Don’t Play With It“, with bold, genre-defying records that showcase new perspectives and sounds, iight bet! offers something for everyone. The project also highlights Lola’s growth as a seasoned recording artist and a more mature woman in her own right, entirely in command of her voice, vision, and artistry. Much like the phrase itself, which can mean many different things to many other people, the project captures every layer of Lola Brooke, raw, versatile, and unapologetically New York.

Lewis Capaldi releases new EP Survive and one of his most raw and personal songs to date – the simply heartbreaking “The Day That I Die.” Listen to the EP HERE, “The Day That I Die” HERE and watch the visualizer HERE.
Arriving on the heels of his critically acclaimed return to touring after nearly two years away, the track quickly became a standout moment of the set, moving fans, and Capaldi himself, to tears. Written about a time when, in his own words onstage, “I didn’t think I would be here anymore,” the song captures Capaldi at his most vulnerable. “On the day that I die, tell my mother I was smiling ‘cause I know that she’ll be crying,” he sings, in a gut-wrenching depiction.
Raw, cathartic, and unflinchingly honest, “The Day That I Die” stands tall among Capaldi’s catalogue of emotional anthems, once again showcasing his extraordinary gift for finding truth and beauty in life’s most painful moments.
Survive features all four tracks that Capaldi has released this year. Most recently, he shared the post-breakup anthem, “Almost,” and the soul-stirring “Something In The Heavens,” which became his tenth UK Top 10 single and details loss in all of its forms, but also the glimmers of hope that remain. Before that came the EP’s title track, the bold and brave anthem, “Survive.”
Capaldi will return stateside for his biggest North American headline tour to date set to launch April 15, 2026, at Philadelphia’s Liacouras Center arena. The tour includes sold out shows at iconic venues including New York City’s Madison Square Garden, Boston’s MGM Music Hall (two sold out nights,) Denver’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre (two sold out nights), and Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl, among others. The full itinerary and tickets are available here.
Capaldi also announced his biggest UK and Ireland headline shows to date. Kicking off next summer at Dublin’s Marlay Park on June 24th, 2026, Capaldi will take on eight outdoor headline shows including London’s BST Hyde Park on July 11th and 12th. Capaldi will also return to the festival stage and is set to headline festivals including Isle Of Wight, Latitude, before returning home to Glasgow to headline this year’s TRNSMT. Earlier this year, Capaldi’s performed a sold-out 17-date UK arena tour earlier this which sent fans into overdrive with critics unanimous in their praise, delivering four and five star reviews across the board from Rolling Stone, The Guardian and more.
“Survive” is already an enormous hit, becoming not only the UK’s fastest selling single of the year thus far, but also Capaldi’s sixth No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart. That achievement puts him in the esteemed company of Beyoncé, Britney Spears, Drake, Lady Gaga, and Queen. Capaldi’s since brought the song to Good Morning America as part of their “Summer Concert Series” and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where he also sat down for a moving conversation. Capaldi joined This Past Weekend With Theo Von for a revealing interview, too, and just this month visited The Graham Norton Show alongside Taylor Swift, where he once again charmed audiences with his trademark wit and heartbreaking songwriting.
In June, after two years away from the spotlight, Capaldi broke the silence and made a courageous return with “Survive” which addresses a challenging period in his career that culminated at Glastonbury 2023 when, in an extremely difficult but unifying moment, the Pyramid Stage crowd helped carry an emotional Capaldi over the finish line. The Scottish singer and songwriter has now come full circle, making a triumphant return to Glastonbury with a surprise set that drew major praise. Rolling Stone wrote, “Lewis Capaldi is back and his return made for one of the most emotional Glastonbury moments of the weekend,” going on to dub “Survive” a “Song You Need to Know” and “an empowering, emotional ballad.” Billboard deemed Capaldi’s return, “One of the best moments from Glastonbury […] a momentous occasion and the weekend’s most emotional moment.” Watch Capaldi perform “Survive” live at Glastonbury, HERE.
Ahead of his celebrated Glastonbury performance, Capaldi first played a series of intimate May shows in Scotland as a guest of the mental health charity CALM, in honor of Mental Health Awareness Week. With no pressure, and no level of expectation, the shows allowed Capaldi the space to gauge his comfort and emotional response before returning to the limelight. Now, after weathering the kind of storm that no one can prepare for, Capaldi embraces his new era with a renewed sense of purpose. Lewis Capaldi isn’t just surviving, he’s returned stronger than ever, heart wide open, and ready to step out again.
Ken Carson continues his streak of releases with his new track “margiela,” produced by Akachi, 16yerold, Gfelds, Lolaxva, and DJ Moon. The release marks his third consecutive drop, following “yes” and “catastrophe,” arrives as he performs nationwide on the Antagonist 2.0 Tour, including a recent standout set at ComplexCon. With a few dates remaining, the tour will wrap up in his hometown of Atlanta at State Farm Arena. Listen HERE via Opium / Interscope Records. Today, he also shares the video alongside the track — watch HERE.
The release continues the momentum from his previous drops, “yes” and “catastrophe.” Directed by Gunner Stahl, “catastrophe” has already garnered nearly 2 million views, while “yes” drew early praise from critics, with Billboard calling it “a sonic exorcism — chaotic, emotionally unhinged, and fully locked into Carson’s dark creative universe,” and BET writing, “If you haven’t given Ken Carson a few spins yet, this is the perfect track to start with. After this one, you’ll be deep in his catalog looking for more heat.” The single also reached nearly a million first-day streams on Spotify alone, marking it as Ken’s second track to hit that milestone, alongside “overseas,” which is now certified Platinum. Watch the video for “catastrophe” HERE. Listen to “yes” HERE.
2025 has been a defining year for Ken Carson, who’s currently on the road with Playboi Carti for the Antagonist 2.0 arena tour. Earlier this year, he released his chart-topping album More Chaos, which earned him his first No. 1 on the Billboard 200—a breakthrough moment for the Atlanta-born artist and his biggest debut to date. Since its release, he’s earned four new RIAA Platinum certifications for “Fighting My,” “Overseas,” “SS,” and his critically acclaimed album A Great Chaos. He was also recognized on Variety’s Young Hollywood Impact Report and delivered a standout performance at ComplexCon last month, where he debuted exclusive collaborations with Jesse Jo Stark’s Deadly Doll line and Affliction. Performing to a packed crowd, the Opium artist showcased the distinct sound and energy that continues to cement his role as a leader in culture.
More Chaos showcases production from his trusted circle, including Starboy, Lil 88, F1LTHY, Outtatown, Lucian, and Legion. On release night, Ken surprised fans with the bonus track “Off The Meter,” marking the first official Opium collaboration between Ken, Playboi Carti, and Destroy Lonely, a landmark moment for the label. Listen HERE. The album, released on April 11th, marked a bold evolution of the style Ken introduced on A Great Chaos, a revolutionary blend of rap, punk, and electronic music he simply defines as “chaos.” AGC was Carson’s first top 10 entry on the Billboard 200 and claimed the No. 1 spot on Apple Music’s All-Genre chart, Spotify’s Global and U.S. charts, and HITS Top 50, amassing over 21 million streams on release day alone. The album garnered support from industry giants like The New York Times, Pitchfork, Billboard, Rolling Stone, and Complex, and was featured on several “Best Of 2023” lists. Listen HERE. Following the release, Ken embarked on his biggest headline tour to-date, the “Chaos World Tour,” in summer 2024. Performing in 3,000-6,000-capacity rooms, selling more than 230,000 tickets across both the North American and European legs of the tour. Highlights included two sold-out shows at Shrine Expo Hall in LA (10,000 tickets sold), three sold-out shows at Terminal 5 in NYC (9,000 tickets sold), two sold-out shows at Roadrunner in Boston (7,000 tickets sold), and two sold-out shows at Coca-Cola Roxy in Atlanta (8,000 tickets sold), among many others. Known for high-octane, electrifying performances, Ken’s live shows are a spectacle of raw energy and dynamic stage presence, consistently generating viral moments.
Ken’s influence extends beyond music, earning co-signs from icons like Young Thug, Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jay-Z, Justin Bieber, and LeBron James, and even a shoutout on Jeopardy! In 2024, he toured as an opener for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, sold-out a collaboration with Ed Hardy, took the stage at Rolling Loud Miami, and performed at ComplexCon in Las Vegas. He was also named one of “The 20 Best Rappers in Their 20s” by Complex. Ken Carson is continuing his rise in 2025 with major milestones, delivering a standout performance at Rolling Loud California, securing his first-ever headline festival slot at Rubicon, and starring in the latest Y/Project x Heavn by Marc Jacobs campaign. A Great Chaos defined an era for Ken, and now, with More Chaos and beyond, he’s pushing the movement to new heights, proving there’s no end to the storm he’s created.

Gwen Stefani releases “Hot Cocoa,” a new original holiday song. “Hot Cocoa” is available now at all digital retailers HERE.
Gwen’s two new holiday songs – “Hot Cocoa” and the recently released “Shake The Snow Globe” are featured on a new version of Gwen’s chart-topping holiday album You Make It Feel Like Christmas (Deluxe Edition – 2025), available today exclusively on Amazon.
Released earlier this month, “Shake The Snow Globe (from “Oh. What. Fun.”) (Amazon Music Original),” is an original holiday track written, co-produced, and performed by Gwen for the upcoming Amazon MGM Studios holiday comedy ‘Oh. What. Fun’ premiering globally on December 3 on Prime Video.

MIGUEL SURPRISE DROPS NEW SINGLE “NEW MARTYRS (RIDE 4 U)”
Just days after announcing his long-awaited fifth studio album CAOS, GRAMMY Award-winning trailblazer Miguel delivers a surprise release with the urgent new single “New Martyrs (Ride 4 U)” via ByStorm Entertainment/RCA Records. The track confronts the cost of conviction, carrying both tenderness and defiance. With lines like “how much can I lose without changing who I am?” Miguel frames the song as both a personal reckoning and a global statement—about what it means to act, even when action feels extreme.
“New Martyrs” is a story about taking matters into one’s own hands to send a message—resounding and vulnerable all at once. The song serves as a jump-off point for broader conversations about systemic inequities, the erosion of political structures, and their profound implications for human freedom. Miguel has made it clear that he intends to extend this critique beyond politics, openly addressing the inequities he has faced in his own dealings with the corporate music industry.
Earlier this week, Miguel reintroduced himself by releasing the album’s title track CAOS directly through S1C—his creative incubator and brand platform, designed to empower multi-hyphenates across the Black, Brown, and Latin diaspora. That move, like the music itself, signals Miguel’s refusal to cede control over his narrative.
With CAOS set for release October 23rd, Miguel continues to chart a course that is uncompromising, personal, and politically resonant.
Miguel. cha·os (Spanish: caos) /ˈkāˌäs/ noun · complete disorder and confusion. · behavior so unpredictable as to appear random, owing to great sensitivity to small changes in conditions.
The arc and accolades of his first four albums established Miguel as a rare force: a global pioneer whose sound and vision defied labels. CAOS builds on that foundation with the conviction that rebuilding requires destruction, transmuting years of grief, desire, love, and identity into a vulnerable, uncompromising tour de force. From the turbulence of personal and global chaos, Miguel emerges with his clearest vision yet.
French Cameroonian artist and producer JAMES BKS returns with NA NA BENZ, a commanding tribute to the Togolese women traders known as the Nana Benz who transformed wax prints into currency, culture, and power across West Africa between the 1940s and the Eighties. The single celebrates the legacy of the Nana Benz, entrepreneurs who controlled the flow of Dutch wax fabrics on the continent, and became symbols of female entrepreneurship and independence. On ‘Na Na Benz’ and its accompanying music video directed by James BKS himself alongside David Moerman, he spotlights the agency and ingenuity of the Nana Benz, and brings their story of ownership and creativity to the forefront for a new generation of those that have never heard of them, asserting that the Nana Benz story is the kind of story that he would have liked to hear when he was younger.
Written and composed by James BKS, ‘Na Na Benz’ welds the taut urgency of drill music with the hypnotic polyrhythms of Cameroonian bikutsi music, to create the hallmark blend that anchors his Afro hip hop signature sound. The track is co-produced and engineered by Roark Bailey, known for work with Playboi Carti, Kanye West, Lenny Kravitz, and SAINt JHN, and a trusted ear for James since his 2023 project Wolves of Africa Part 2. The result is percussion that bites, bass that prowls, and vocal lines that move like mantras, a kinetic anthem that mirrors the original Nana Benz blueprint – trust your taste, own your lane, scale your vision. ‘Na Na Benz’ also ushers in the deluxe version of James BKS’ See Us Rise EP from earlier this year, which arrives on December 10 and is aptly titled See Us Rise And Win.
Released back in May, the original See Us Rise EP was a powerful 7-track statement from James BKS, co-produced with JoA Touch (Wiz Khalifa, Akon, Shay) and Rorak Bailey, which threaded West African rhythms through contemporary hip-hop and afropop, while exploring themes of self-empowerment, temptation, and resilience. It came on the back of his two-part debut album Wolves of Africa and Wolves of Africa Part 2, which featured the likes of will.i.am, Idris Elba, Little Simz, Royce Da 5’9” and Q-Tip, and garnered critical acclaim and rave reviews from BBC Radio 1, Vogue Magazine, NME, and Rolling Stone, among others. With his new offering ‘Na Na Benz’, James BKS carries that momentum forward, turning heritage into an unstoppable forward march, from Cameroon to the world.
By: Meagan Purdy, naturopathic doctor, educator at Fairhaven Health
For decades, menopause care focused heavily on symptom management, leaving many women without a full understanding of what their bodies were experiencing and the options available to them. Yet, as more women enter midlife with active careers, evolving identities, and a focus on long-term health, the conversation is changing. We’re asking better questions, not just about symptom relief, but about supporting overall wellness through the change.
Menopause marks the end of reproductive years, but it also signals a recalibration of the body’s hormonal and emotional rhythms. Hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and sleep disturbances are common, but they don’t have to define the experience. More than 1 million American women enter menopause each year, and many are seeking solutions outside of traditional hormone therapy. Many are turning instead to lifestyle options, stress reduction, and evidence-based, non-hormonal support.
Nutrition plays a central role. A balanced diet rich in omega-3 fats, fiber, and plant-based phytonutrients supports hormonal health and inflammation control. Regular movement, meditation, and quality sleep are also essential tools for restoring balance. But even with the best lifestyle habits, many women still experience disruptive symptoms that affect their work, relationships, and overall well-being.
Botanical Support for Balance
That’s where research-backed, non-hormonal supplements can help bridge the gap. For example at Fairhaven Health we took an innovative approach with a dual-botanical blend of rhapontic rhubarb and copaiba extract that we put in our Complete Menopause Relief supplement. Together, these natural compounds target multiple pathways in the body that influence temperature regulation, mood, and stress response. Rhapontic rhubarb interacts primarily with estrogen receptor beta, while copaiba extends the benefit by also engaging multiple estrogen receptors and the body’s endocannabinoid system, known to help balance mood and emotional resilience. This multifaceted approach offers broad support for women who prefer to navigate menopause without hormones.
Nutrients for Long-Term Strength
Bone, heart, and brain health become even more important during the menopausal journey. Vitamin D3 and K2-7 work in tandem to support calcium absorption and maintain bone strength, a critical concern as estrogen levels decline. Methylated B vitamins help the body convert nutrients into energy while supporting neurotransmitter function, which can influence focus and mood stability. Green tea extract adds antioxidant power that supports cardiovascular health and may aid metabolism, helping women maintain energy and vitality as their bodies adapt to new hormonal rhythms. These nutrients form the foundation of Fairhaven Health’s popular Menopause Multivitamin Essentials, designed to complement lifestyle choices and support overall well-being.
A Holistic Perspective
Of course, supplements alone are not the full solution. Movement — whether yoga, walking, or strength training — supports metabolism and bone density. Mindful practices like meditation or journaling help regulate the nervous system, reducing stress-related symptoms such as irritability or anxiety. Sleep hygiene, hydration, and social connection also play meaningful roles in maintaining emotional balance. When combined with a nutrient-dense diet and targeted support, these habits create a sustainable framework for feeling well through every stage of menopause.
As women live longer and spend nearly one-third of their lives in menopause, comprehensive care becomes a form of empowerment. Non-hormonal approaches are part of a growing shift toward individualized care, giving women more tools to support symptom relief based on their unique health goals. Menopause isn’t an ending; it’s a reset. With mindful nutrition, emotional awareness, and science-informed support, women can navigate this time in their lives with strength, clarity, and vitality as we redefine what it means to age well in today’s world.

Have you ever walked around your home and just felt a bit… stuck? Or bored? There’s nothing exactly wrong with it, it’s just that it doesn’t feel particularly great either – the rooms look the same as they did last year, the hallway hasn’t been refreshed in ages, and there’s stuff all over the place which means that it’s fine, but not what you want.
The good news is, there are plenty of easy home details that can make your home – and everyday life – feel fresh again, and with that in mind, keep reading to find out what those things are.
Start With One Room You Use All The Time
It’s always going to be tempting to jump between rooms and update everything at once, but the truth is that choosing just one space, which could be the living room, your bedroom, the kitchen, and so on, means it’s a lot easier to stay focused. If you can do that, you’ll see a lot more progress a lot more quickly, and you’ll have more motivation to keep going when you see how much you can achieve.
If you’re not sure where to start, the best thing to do is pick the room you spend the most time in – after all, you’ll enjoy it more that way. So go in there, take a look around, and see what doesn’t feel quite right. Maybe it’s the lighting, or perhaps there’s too much clutter, or it could be the colour, and so on. Then you can make some small changes to turn the room into a space you want to be in, and move on from there.
Refresh Surfaces For Instant Change
It’s a shame, but everything you touch or see up close is definitely going to start to look worn after a while, which is why replacing or updating these everyday surfaces make really make a difference, and could be all you need to make a room look totally new – or at least make enough of a chance to feel fresh.
One idea would be to swap your old cabinet and drawer handles for new ones because even if the doors are technically still the same, they’ll look totally new. Or what about repainting a tired windowsill, adding a new mirror in a hallway (the bonus here is that it can reflect light, so it’ll make the space seem not just brighter but bigger too), or just replace a lampshade that’s seen better days. Even updating woodwork or adding a small shelf can transform a corner, and if you’ve got the right tools, like a cordless nail gun, you can hang some lightweight decor or some extra storage and little upgrades like that can really go a long way.
Bring In More Texture
Although you might not think it, the fact is that texture is one of the easiest ways to make a room feel more inviting without having to do anything extravagant or expensive. What do we mean? Well, you can add some soft throws, a few cushions, a couple of jute baskets, a different rug, and so on, and just see how much better the room looks when you do.
It’s a very simple trick, but if your home feels a bit flat or cold, adding different textures can liven it up – and warm it up – right away. Plus, to make things even better, it’s good to mix different natural materials, like cotton, wool, linen, wood, stone, and so on, so that nothing really matches and you’ve got layers.
Rearrange What You’ve Already Got
Did you ever think that something as simple as moving your furniture and other bits around could be all you need to do to refresh your space? Maybe it just felt too obvious, but that shouldn’t stop you from doing it because the results are going to be impressive – moving a sofa slightly, nudging a table to one side a bit, swapping the position of a couple of chairs, and so on, can change how a whole room feels, and it can make even a really familiar room feel new and different.
Sometimes it’s actually the layout that feels a bit stale and not the furniture, so before you buy anything new or throw out your old stuff, try moving it around first. It could save you a lot of time and energy, not to mention money, plus you’ll be a lot more sustainable too.
Add A Bit Of Colour In Low-Commitment Ways
A lot of the time, repainting an entire room can be a bit too much of a big job, and unless you really plan for it, it can go horribly wrong very quickly. But what about still adding some colour in smaller ways that you can change around and don’t have to commit to for the long term? When you put it like that, it’s probably a better way to go about things anyway.
You can add a colourful lamp, a framed print (and don’t forget the frame can be fun and colourful too), some photos, new cushion covers, or even a plant in a pot – they’ll all brighten things up without any mess and no big decisions to make. You can also just paint one thing, like a shelf, a side table, a mirror frame, and so on, and do that instead of the entire wall, so you’ll get a boost of colour without committing to a full project.
Fix The Things You’ve Been Ignoring
Every home has got those little annoyances that aren’t so big they interrupt daily life, but you still notice them once in a while. And because they’re not big, they’re easy to ignore, and even if you do notice them, you’ll probably forget about them soon after. But the problem is, small problems can get bigger, and small problems can actually play on your mind even if you don’t realise it, causing stress.
So if you want a fresh and more comfortable home, it’s time to fix these little annoyances, whether it’s a leaky tap, a squeaky door, a loose handle, a wobbly table leg, or anything else. These things take seconds to fix in most cases, and then it’s done, and the relief will be immediate.
