Today's music news is a study in contrasts. BTS's RM opens a museum show that strips away his celebrity, while Drake and Noah Kahan lean into commercial tie-ins. Meanwhile, a Pitchfork review questions Miranda Lambert's artistic commitment.
Two very different takes on what it means to present yourself as an artist.
RM's first solo art exhibition at SFMOMA is a deliberate move away from BTS's global spectacle. The framing is about the private self versus the public icon, which is a rare angle for a K-pop star of his scale.
Alfred Soto's review lands a blunt verdict: 'Crisco' is not half-assed, but it still falls into Lambert's 'blah' category. For a long-time fan, that's a more interesting critique than a simple thumbs down.
The day's new music and how you'll be able to hear it.
Drake turned his 'FOMO' short film into a proper release with four tracks, including a remix of Ella Langley's country hit retitled 'Solar Eclipse.' It's a quick pivot from film to streaming, and the Don Toliver feature gives it crossover pull.
Noah Kahan's 'Draw You Out' is the lead single for The Hunger Games soundtrack, tying his folk-pop to a major film franchise. The album drops a week before the movie, so this is a coordinated rollout aimed at a wide audience.
ACL's 25th anniversary gets a global streaming push on Disney+ and Hulu, which is a first for the festival. That's a meaningful shift in how major U.S. festivals reach audiences beyond the gates.
