Alexandra Savior announces debut album 'Belladonna Of Sadness' + drops new song 'Mystery Girl'.

After many months of anticipation, Alexandra Savior has finally announced that her debut album, 'Belladonna Of Sadness' (formerly titled 'Strange Portrait') will be released worldwide next year on April 7th.

Savior has also dropped a fittingly eerie music video for new song, 'Mystery Girl' - a stunning visual accompaniment directed by New Zealander Sam Kristofski (who has also made videos for The Phoenix Foundation, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Tom Lark and Taste Nasa, to name a few).

Watch the 'Mystery Girl' music video below...

Listen: Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone’s 'La La Land' duet, 'City Of Stars'.

Ahead of the release of Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone’s upcoming film ‘La La Land’ (set for release on December 26th in NZ cinemas), a duet of theirs called ‘City Of Stars’ has been released.

I love that it was just recorded on set, and you can hear them laughing at one point during the song - so cute!

Listen to the song below (+ watch a TV spot for the film too, which is slightly jollier)…

Watch: The xx perform 'On Hold' and 'I Dare You' on SNL.

Following the announcement of their new album, ‘I See You’ (set for release on January 13th), The xx performed their new single ‘On Hold’, as well as a brand-new song ‘I Dare You’, on ‘Saturday Night Live’.

Can we just stop to appreciate the fact that Romy and Oliver dance on stage now? They kinda look like the spokes of a cake-mixer, in the best possible way.

I also love that their outfits are all kinda Western inspired - ‘cuz why not?

Watch the performances below…
