Will Smith + Joyner Lucas – Tantrum

GRAMMY Award winning artist, actor, and multifaceted entertainer, Will Smith and American rapper and actor Joyner Lucas released their new single “TANTRUM” via The Orchard. Listen HERE

“TANTRUM” is a letter to Will and Joyner’s inner children, that part of them still recovering from the difficulties of the past. The anthemic, high-energy track was co-produced by Leo Son and Joyner Lucas, and features Will and Joyner trading powerful rap verses, their anger and determination echoing through their lyrics.

The accompanying music video uses animation by Cartuna Cartoon to create cartoon versions of Will & Joyner as the two face a series of dangerous trials from being stuck in the middle of the ocean, falling out of a skyscraper, and climbing mountains in the desert. Directed by Joyner Lucas and Matthew Bordenave, the “TANTRUM” music video imagery echoes personal struggles expressed throughout the song. Watch HERE.

“TANTRUM” follows several inspirational music releases from Smith this year. This summer marked his official return to music with singles “You Can Make It” featuring Fridayy and Sunday Service Choir hitting at No.3 on Billboard Gospel chart – listen HERE and “WORK OF ART,” a collaboration with Russ, featuring his son Jaden – watch HERE.

Smith debuted “You Can Make It” at the 2024 BET Awards, on June 30th in Los Angeles. The powerful performance found him standing in a large fire pit surrounded by real flames – Watch HERE. Following that momentum, the music video for “WORK OF ART” directed by Willy Rodríguez features a dynamic troupe of dancers set at a grand european style museum. The video incorporates interviews from participants, juxtaposing an elaborate production with real-life, authentic stories.

To celebrate these releases and his return to music, Smith recently played two sold-out shows in San Diego at The Observatory North Park. Fans were eager to see him perform in the US for the first time in many years. Earlier this year, Smith delivered high-energy and electrifying performances at international festivals, including Rock n Rio in Brazil, Mad Cool in Madrid, and MDLBEAST Soundstorm in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

GLASS ANIMALS – TOUR OF EARTH

On their colossal “Tour Of Earth,” record-breaking British band Glass Animals performed at arenas and amphitheatres across North America, but none was more breathtaking than Washington’s The Gorge, where the band played to 30,000 fans. Known as one of the best outdoor venues in the world and described by songwriter, producer, and lead singer Dave Bayley as “a remote, alien landscape,” it was the perfect real-life-movie-set to record “A Tear in Space (Airlock)” live, taken from Glass Animals’ critically acclaimed, UK Top 5, fourth studio album, I Love You So F***ing Much.

WATCH “A TEAR IN SPACE (LIVE AT THE GORGE)” HERE

Bayley shares, “The live show is an unpredictable beast. We don’t use backing tracks. Or click tracks. Every sound you hear is made by us with our fingers and breath, then and there in that moment in a unique way. Sometimes, it ends up faster, sometimes slower, sometimes bigger, sometimes more intimate. Sometimes, the melodies and chords change. Sometimes it’s just chaos, and we have to start over. But we thought it would be cool to put out some of these slightly different live versions. And we’ll start here, with A Tear in Space, live from The Gorge. A 30,000 capacity natural amphitheater on the edge of a ginormous canyon in rural Washington. It looks like a barren alien landscape and building our live set (a spaceship called the international shame station) on that cliff edge…well it just felt like a magic place to play the new album. It just fits. And…the crowd was incredible. And…we didn’t mess up too much.”

Glass Animals is one of the UK’s biggest touring bands. Having just rounded off their “Tour Of Earth,” taking their alien spaceship to North America, Europe, the UK, and Australia to hundreds of thousands of fans over the past year—coming home to headline a sold-out O2 Arena in London—Glass Animals has given the world a love story during hard times. From a sold-out Madison Square Garden, Kia Forum, and two sold-out Red Rocks (watch a show recap HERE), Glass Animals ended their global tour with two sold-out Sydney Opera House shows. Each mammoth performance has reminded fans of our shared humanity, set to the backdrop of space.

It was during the first writing stages of I Love You So F***ing Much that Dave intended to make a space album, but what happened was a remarkable zooming out of the human experience, and zooming back into the thing that binds us all: love. Painting 10 portraits of love in all its messy forms, I Love You So F***ing Much is the most personal record that Bayley has ever written. From the existential to the intimate, from the first love we witness around us as children, to romance, hate, and heartbreak—each song is dedicated to a different side of love. The record has already reached a quarter of a billion streams since its release in July, with 150 million Spotify streams, 90 million YouTube views, and 135 million TikTok views to date. It is the long-awaited follow-up to 2020’s critically revered Dreamland, which sold over 12 million copies globally and gave life to the Diamond Certified hit “Heat Waves,” the record-breaking song that became the biggest international hit from a British band in almost 30 years. In addition, it was the first song to reach #1 with a single writer and producer since Pharrell’s “Happy” and the 11th most-streamed song in Spotify’s history.

Not only have they recently performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! twice, playing “Creatures In Heaven” and “A Tear in Space (Airlock),” the GRAMMY and BRIT nominated band unveiled a short film in collaboration with VEVO titled “The Extremely Existential Late Show.” Introduced by a robotic television set host accompanied by a special guest: a dog named “Krog The Deranged”—played by Dave’s dog Woody—the band performed songs off I Love You So F***ing Much. This short film followed a brilliant BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge performances of “Show Pony” and cover of “End Of Beginning” by Djo.

Having a bird’s-eye view of life is a view that Glass Animals has become comfortable with. Dreamland was released during the pandemic in 2020, and it was the album that elevated Glass Animals to mythical status. The single “Heat Waves” broke records across the planet, becoming the first song by a British band since Spice Girls’ “Wannabe” in 1995 to claim #1 for 5 consecutive weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. Having achieved GRAMMY and BRIT nominations, being crowned triple j’s Hottest 100 winner, claiming over 44 billion global streams, and becoming the first British band to achieve #1 on the Spotify Global Chart, whilst holding space on the Billboard Hot 100 for longer than The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights.”

From one infinite song that set the stage for the biggest British contemporary band to break records and tour the globe to the infinite possibility of their profound cosmic fourth studio album, Glass Animals is ready to tell their millions of fans, and perhaps themselves: I Love You So F***ing Much.

Polestar Hot Wheels Design Contest 2024

Watch

Polestar, the Swedish electric performance car brand, has announced the winner of its 2024 Design Contest. This year’s contest, held in collaboration with the legendary automotive brand Hot Wheels, invited contestants to submit designs inspired by its renowned 1:64 scale and Polestar’s distinctive design language.

Shashank Shekhar, a professional designer from India, won first prize for his rugged off-roader, “Polestar TRX.” The concept, with its exaggerated proportions and sleek surfaces, presents a bold interpretation of Polestar’s normally subtle design philosophy. The design becomes the first Polestar to be included in Hot Wheels toy car series, with the die-cast collectable available for consumers in the summer of 2025.

“I’m thrilled to win. This will be the first design in my career to be produced, so it’s a big deal for me. I never thought that someday, something I have created would end up as a Hot Wheels car. It has been a great journey, and I’ve had an amazing time so far. Something like this gives you a lot of confidence as a young designer,” said Polestar Design Contest winner Shashank Shekhar.

For more than 50 years, Hot Wheels has driven automotive performance and design; driving car culture for fans of all ages. Hot Wheels at its core is about accepting challenges and pushing design limits to create authentic die-casts that reflect car culture. This special edition of the Polestar Design Contest opened the door for designers to reach new heights in creativity and innovation, further linking the two powerhouse brands.

Polestar has established a rich history in supporting and collaborating with aspiring student and professional vehicle designers through its design contests. From the start, the connection with the Polestar Design Community provides guidance and encouragement for all entrants before the Polestar Design team engage in one-to-one coaching with the shortlisted finalists to refine their designs towards final selection.

Italy’s Powei Chen was awarded the runner-up prize for his colorful “Cyber Shaker,” which nods to both past and present with its eye-catching cyberpunk design. Roman Moor’s classic Le Mans submission from Germany received an honorable mention for his “Polestar Track Toy” concept, which impressed the four-judge panel that included representatives from Polestar and Mattel.

Now in its fourth edition, the Polestar Design Contest is an exciting opportunity for both professional and student designers to showcase their visions of automotive design. Since the first contest, the competition has highlighted top talent around the world, with many of the students going on to work for the Polestar Design team or in the wider professional design industry.

This year’s unique partnership with Hot Wheels encouraged participants to push their creativity even further, resulting in some of the most exciting concepts to date.

“We were looking for innovative ideas with this theme, and the submissions definitely exceeded our expectations. We saw some of the most daring designs to date. I can’t wait to see what the ‘Polestar TRX’ collectible will look like in real life,” says Juan-Pablo Bernal, Head of Interior Design at Polestar and curator @polestardesigncommunity Instagram account.

The 2024 contest attracted over 1,200 participants from around the globe, making it one of the largest editions of the annual competition to-date. Judges were instructed to seek out designs that reflected the playfulness and vibrancy of the Hot Wheels brand while still incorporating elements of Polestar’s signature minimalist design aesthetic.

“It was a pleasure for Hot Wheels to collaborate with Polestar for this innovative design contest. This year’s winner accepted the challenge and was inspired by both Hot Wheels and Polestar, bridging the two brands together,” says Ted Wu Senior Vice President and Global Head of Design of Vehicles and Building Sets at Mattel. “We are looking forward to seeing the ‘Polestar TRX’ in a 1:64 scale and welcoming this die-cast to be included in our Hot Wheels history.”
