Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams has been keeping busy lately. Last year, she released Ego Death at the Bachelorette Party, one of 2025's standout albums, while also confirming that Paramore would not break up but would go on hiatus. As she readies to hit the road for a North American tour, which includes two nights in Toronto, later in the spring, the singer has teased new music with frequent collaborator Daniel James.

Premiered on Apple Music yesterday, the duo's first single as Power Snatch, titled 'Assignment', seems to have been preceded by a song called 'DMs', which was quietly uploaded to Bandcamp last year, as Kerrang notes.

'Assignment' has yet to be released on DSPs, but 'DMs' is available for streaming on Bandcamp.

All of the Hidden Symbols and Meanings You May Have Missed in Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Set

This story was originally published on Feb. 9th, 2026

Bad Bunny is no stranger to making history, and last night, he conquered another first when he became the first artist to perform only in Spanish at the Super Bowl halftime show. Up until the big day, the only hint we had about potential themes for the show came from the Apple Music trailer that showed Bad Bunny dancing to his hit song “Baile Inolvidable” with a diverse cast of dancers. The vibe was unity and fun. But Bad Bunny always finds a way to get many complex messages into his performances, just as he does with his songs.

The performance had been even more anticipated because of the conservative backlash he received (to the point of Turning Point USA organizing an alternative halftime show). Additionally, because of Bad Bunny’s highly political Grammy acceptance speeches (he started one by declaring, “ICE out”), many people couldn’t wait to see what Bad Bunny might say or do during his 13-minute halftime set.

From Lenny Kravitz to the Spice Girls, Nineties Music Takes Over Olympic Figure Skating Ice Dance Event

It turns out Ricky Martin’s appearance during Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Sunday night wasn’t the last time viewers would hear from the singer this week: the Latin superstar was all over the speakers at the Winter Olympics figure skating competition Monday, as the world’s best ice dancers took to the arena for the rhythm dance event.

Martin’s 1995 hit, “Maria” was used by no less than three ice dance teams for the rhythm dance (formerly known as the “short dance” or short program), with couples from Finland, Sweden, and Spain all choosing the upbeat hit for their performances. While the specific song choice of “Maria” was a coincidence, the genre of the track was not, as ice dancers were assigned a “1990s” theme for the rhythm dance this season.
