Finneas retourne au secondaire avec «Cleats»

Le grand frère de Billie Eilish fera bientôt paraître un deuxième album solo.

Finneas retourne au secondaire avec «Cleats»

Finneas revisite les tourments maladroits de l’amour non partagé de l’adolescence avec Cleats, le dernier extrait de son prochain album solo For Cryin’ Out Loud.

Surtout connu du grand public pour son travail de production avec son illustre petite soeur, Billie Eilish, Finneas reste néanmoins un artiste solo doué et accompli.


Dans cette douce et entraînante ballade indie pop, Finneas lamente une amourette remplie de signes évidents qu'elle ne se transformera jamais en une véritable relation amoureuse. Le principal indice étant la phrase: «she plays for a different team». Pourtant, un mince espoir subsiste toujours.

Le vidéoclip de Cleats, réalisé par Isaac Ravishankara, met en scène une dramédie romantique de secondaire, pendant qu’une version miniaturisée de Finneas interprète la chanson tout en observant les événements. Après que le garçon tente sa chance avec un baiser, la fille attrape rapidement ses clés et s'en va. Aussi déchirant que cela puisse être, l'amitié semble intacte, les deux personnages illustrant les derniers mots de la chanson : «Nothing you can do either / Old crush on the new teacher / Wave as soon as you see her / From the bleachers.»

For Cryin’ Out Loud sortira le 4 octobre via Interscope. Finneas avait annoncé l'album le mois dernier en dévoilant la chanson-titre, accompagnée d’un autre vidéoclip signé Ravishankara. Cet album marquera le deuxième opus solo de Finneas, après Optimist en 2021.

Ringo Starr Hits the ‘Long Long Road’ on New Album With Sheryl Crow, Billy Strings, St. Vincent

Ringo Starr has assembled a characteristically stacked list of collaborators — including Sheryl Crow, Billy Strings, and St. Vincent — for his next album, Long Long Road, out April 24.

The former Beatles drummer announced the record Tuesday, March 3, and also shared first single, “It’s Been Too Long,” featuring backing vocals from Molly Tuttle and Sarah Jarosz. The track nods to some of Starr’s recent country influences — the low, resonant guitar riffs, Tuttle and Jarosz’s high-and-lonesome harmonies — while also incorporating some atmospheric elements of psychedelia and early rock & roll.

Dems React to Classified Briefing on Iran: ‘It Is So Much Worse Than You Thought’

As House Democrats walked out of a closed-door briefing on Tuesday evening over the United States’s military campaign against Iran, many expressed exasperation with the Trump administration and said the president and his team had not offered a sufficient justification for the attack on foreign soil.

“I just want to say I am more fearful than ever after this briefing that we may be putting boots on the ground and that troops from the United States may be necessary to accomplish objectives that the administration seems to have,” said Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) after leaving the meeting held by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and Joint Chiefs chair Dan Caine.

Concert Industry Is ‘Broken,’ Prosecutor Says as Live Nation-Ticketmaster Trial Begins

Federal prosecutors said Live Nation and Ticketmaster “illegally used their monopoly power to help themselves” instead of artists, fans, or venues during opening statements for the blockbuster antitrust trial.

The case, which has the potential to completely reshape the live-entertainment industry, officially kicked off Tuesday, March 3, following jury selection yesterday. The federal government has accused Live Nation of using its network of venues to cajole artists into using its promotion services, while also forcing venues to sign exclusive, long-term contracts with Ticketmaster (which it acquired in 2010).

Oscars 2026: Who Will Win, Who Should Win

So what’s it going to be: the father trying save his daughter’s life, or the twin brothers trying save each other’s souls? The revolutionary mother on the run, or the spiritual healer who stays and fights? The martial arts sensei, or the harmonica-playing mentor? Those who battle Neo-nazis, or those taking on literal bloodsuckers?

Often, the Oscars tend to head into their final stretch with a clear frontrunner a few steps, or sometimes several laps in front of the pack. The ceremony is practically finished before it’s even started, and it’s essentially all over except for the foregone “And the winner is…” announcement. Other years, it’s anyone’s guess as to which film might leave with the biggest of the little-gold-men awards, with a title or three going through a variety of rises and falls leading up to the big night. (See: 2025.) And occasionally, you get an Oscars race where two specific movies feel like they’re virtually neck in neck. That’s what we’re looking at right now.
