Pharrell Williams soundtracked Louis Vuitton’s Menswear Spring-Summer 2027 show with several new tracks, including collaborations with Quavo, Lil Baby, and Angelique Kidjo.

Held on Tuesday at the Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris, the fashion event showcased music recorded at the Louis Vuitton Studio. The show opened with Quavo’s new track, “Haavin,” produced and co-written by Williams, and continued with Lily Baby’s “Dead Fresh” and YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s “Simulation.” It concluded with a version of Kidjo’s recent song “Bando,” featuring Williams and Quavo and orchestrated by Thomas Roussel.


During the fashion show, Roussel conducted the L’Orchestre du Pont Neuf live, while Voices of Fire contributed vocals.

Since being named menswear Creative Director of Louis Vuitton, Williams has used the brand’s shows as an opportunity to premiere new music. His debut show, in 2023, brought a flock of celebrities including Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Zendaya, Megan Thee Stallion, Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, Kim Kardashian, Jared Leto, LeBron James, Naomi Campbell, Lenny Kravitz, and Tyler, the Creator to the Pont Neuf bridge in Paris. It culminated with he and Jay-Z taking the stage to perform “Frontin’” — Williams’s 2003 debut single featuring the The Blueprint rapper.

In January, Williams previewed new songs with A$AP Rocky, Pusha T, John Legend, Quavo, and Jackson Wang during Louis Vuitton’s Fall-Winter 2026 Men’s show. Voices of Fire and L’Orchestre du Pont Neuf also performed at that show.

Earlier this year, Williams joined Clipse for a performance at the 2026 Grammy Awards. The duo — brothers Pusha T and Malice — performed “So Far Ahead” alongside Williams, who produced their album Let God Sort Em Out.

The Jay-Z Commemorative Library Card is Back for the ‘Reasonable Doubt’ 30th Anniversary

  1. Jay-Z will add to his already overflowing pile of career achievements a second commemorative library card as he celebrates the 30th anniversary of his debut, Reasonable Doubt.

To mark the occasion this month, Jay announced a string of pop-ups around New York City, as well as a fresh partnership with the Brooklyn Public Library. That includes the release of a new limited edition library card, which will be available June 25 — the same day Reasonable Doubt was released in 1996 — at all BPL locations on a first-come, first-served basis, and while supplies last.

This marks Jay-Z’s second time partnering with the Brooklyn Public Library after his Book of HOV exhibit was put on display at the Grand Army Plaza branch in 2023. The launch of that exhibit also included a special promotion that saw the BPL printing a bunch of limited edition library cards commemorating all 13 of Jay’s solo albums.

Keith Richards Says the Rolling Stones May Not Tour Again

Keith Richards isn’t sure that he’s up to future Rolling Stones tours, but that doesn’t mean the band won’t play live again. With the band’s new album, Foreign Tongues, due July 10, the Stones guitarist raised the idea of the band playing residencies in a new interview with Uncut.

“I don’t know if tours are possible,” Richards, 82, told the magazine. “It’s the travelling that takes it out of you. But I do see the possibility of us doing residency somewhere. Wherever it is, London, New York, Paris, anywhere. I’ll play Rome! But I don’t see why they shouldn’t be able to throw some shows together in a new format.”
