As they prepare to release ‘The Mountain’ on Feb. 27, 2026, co-founders Damon Albarn (@damonalbarn) and Jamie Hewlett (@hewll) reflect on how grief, India, and Eastern philosophies around death and reincarnation brought them back on the same creative wavelength after years, and shaped their most powerfully poignant album to date.

NAV (@nav) is Rolling Stone India’s November/December 2025 cover star. In a rare, unguarded conversation, he looks back on growing up brown in Canada, the years of listening too closely, and the moment he chose to shut the noise out. From Rexdale basements to global stages, NAV talks about closing the chapter on “Old NAV,” protecting his mental health, and why peace, control, and clarity matter more than chasing expectations.

Stay tuned for Rolling Stone India’s festival issue, dropping soon.

Rising from the ashes of a near-fatal accident, tricksingh (@tricksinghh) turns pain into catharsis on his new track “Nayi Shuruwat,” a haunting statement about confronting death, regret, and the desperate hope for one more chance at life. Featuring Sid Sriram (@sidsriram) and produced by Eyepatch (@eyepatchmusic), the music video, directed by Shabad Sarin (@shabadsarin) and titled “Chapter 1: The Fall,” sees the artist stepping into a dark open field lit only by by a blazing bonfire, as he slowly shaves his head on camera to symbolise the shedding of ego, pride, and vanity, and mark the beginning of an entirely new chapter.

“I think the dance floor is dead/So now we’re making rock music.” Goodbye Brat Summer, hello Rock Spring! Charli XCX (@charli_xcx) has returned with the new single, “Rock Music.”

The new song arrives days after Charli posted footage of her recording “Rock Music,” inside Paris’ Rue Boyer Studios in Oct. 2025. The cheeky caption read, “a video of me making a song called ‘rock music’ that is not actually rock music which is funny because I never said I was making a rock album.” She was referring to her recent British Vogue cover, and the magazine’s description of her next chapter — the follow-up to the massive Brat — as a “rock reinvention.”

Kanye West took the witness stand at a copyright trial in downtown Los Angeles on Wednesday, and the artist now known as Ye showed visible signs of irritation.

When the plaintiffs’ lawyer, who claims Ye owes more than half a million dollars for alleged infringement tied to his Grammy-winning track “Hurricane,” greeted him after the lunch break with, “Good afternoon, Ye,” the artist stared back silently without responding. Asked whether he repeatedly changed lawyers and licensing representatives in 2022 and 2023, making him difficult to reach, Ye answered in a flat monotone, repeatedly saying, “I don’t recall” and “I don’t remember.”

Billie Eilish’s (@billieeilish) excellent new concert movie ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D)’ is the rare film that’s directed by two Oscar winners: James Cameron (@jamescameronofficial) and Eilish herself. These two make an unusual pair, coming from two totally different worlds — the man who directed Titanic and the woman who wrote “Lunch.” (She’s won Best Song twice, for the Barbie song you remember and a James Bond theme you don’t.) It’s a 3D film, for that extra-immersive experience. But onscreen, as onstage, there’s nobody else on earth like Billie Eilish.

Paal Dabba’s (@paaldabba.iam) latest video “Psilovibin” sees the Chennai artist get sent to his room as punishment, where he lets his imagination run wild — from comic book heroes to cars to South Indian acting star Trisha Krishnan making a surprise appearance.

Sonically, the artist raps about the confidence he’s gained walking the path of a dancer, musician and filmmaker, over Punjabi beats produced by Foxn.

Hip-hop artist Paradox aka Tanishq Singh (@paradox.here) was born on the 24th. Add those digits together and you get six. The fascination with numbers doesn’t end there, as Paradox explains over a call.

The runtime for the three tracks from his new EP ‘Bade Dino Baad’ range from 2 minutes and 31 seconds for the title track, to “Latt,” which clocks in at exactly 3 minutes and 3 seconds and “Waqt,” the closing piece, running up to 4 minutes and 2 seconds. Those all add up to six. Add all three durations together and you get nine — an inverted six. The music video for “Bade Dino Baad” dropped at 6 PM on Apr. 24, 2026 and “Latt” had a visual come out on May 6, 2026, while the “Waqt” music video is expected to drop on May 15, 2026.

“All the numbers are six,” Paradox says with a nerdy kind of enthusiasm and pride of revealing an easter egg. Beyond the numerology-related philosophy, the three-track project also has a literary element, in that the rapper treats ‘Bade Dino Baad’ as a chapter of his life’s book, told as a trilogy.

Paul McCartney (@paulmccartney) has been making music with Ringo Starr (@ringostarrmusic) ever since the classic Beatles lineup was solidified in 1962. But they’d never actually duetted on a track until McCartney began assembling his upcoming LP ‘The Boys Of Dungeon Lane,’ and the new song “Home To Us” felt like a natural place to feature Starr on vocals alongside himself.

Sting’s (@theofficialsting) children have done just fine for themselves. He has six children, including Eliot Sumner, a musician, and Mickey Sumner, an actress. And while Sting has been supportive of their careers, he recently told CBS Sunday Morning that he isn’t outright funding them with an inheritance.

“Or whether I’ve said to them, ‘Guys, you got to work. I’m spending our money. I’m paying for your education. You’ve got shoes on your feet. Go to work,’” he said. “That’s not cruel. I think there’s a kindness there and a trust that they will make their own way. They’re tough, my kids.”

Despite overwhelmingly negative reviews and bitter blowback over the decision to not even hint at the child sexual abuse allegations that plagued his later years, the Michael Jackson (@michaeljackson) biopic ‘Michael’ is an enormous box office smash that’s creating a massive upswing of interest in his music catalog on streaming services.

According to Billboard, Jackson’s solo work work registered a career-best 137.5 million official on-demand streams for the week of April 24-30 in the United States. That’s up 146 percent from his previous career high. He also hit 55.9 million song clicks in the same week.

Michael is on pace to gross upwards of $1 billion, and it’s causing an enormous surge of interest in his back catalog, sending Thriller up to Number Seven on the Billboard 200.
