Phoebe Bridgers joined Billie Eilish as a special guest tonight during the second of Eilish's hometown year-ending shows at Los Angeles' Kia Forum this week.

Watch Bridgers and Eilish perform 'Motion Sickness' together live below...

A good song feels like external validation of your innermost thoughts and feelings, and a great song says a lot with very little - but a perfect song is so compelling that you hope to absorb some of its power by repeated listening.

Some people organise their memories according to time/date/place, scent, or photos - but as people that enjoy living our lives with big soundtracked main-character-energy, we (of course) like to organise our memories into album-associated periods of life (album seasons, some might say).

2022 was a rollercoaster, and now it's almost over. These are the albums that were there for us through thick and thin.

The demand from The 1975 fans for Carly Holt to perform 'About You' - from their latest album, 'Being Funny In A Foreign Language' - live with the band has been incredibly loud/vocal, and tonight, Carly blessed Toronto with her live debut as part of the At Their Very Best Tour.

Watch fan-filmed videos of Carly's debut below...

Caroline Polachek has just dropped a video for her latest single 'Welcome To My Island' - during which she gets served coffee by Weyes Blood, runs through a construction site, and more.

She has also announced North American tour dates today, and is taking Ethel Cain, Alex G, Toro Y Moi and others along with her. 

Taylor Swift has been announced to be making her feature directorial debut - having written an original script that will be produced by Searchlight Pictures.

Searchlight presidents David Greenbaum and Matthew Greenfield say about the news: "Taylor is a once in a generation artist and storyteller. It is a genuine joy and privilege to collaborate with her as she embarks on this exciting and new creative journey."

Kindred spirits (and sister witches), Florence + The Machine and Ethel Cain, have shared an official recording of their 'Morning Elvis' duet - recently performed together live in Denver.

SZA has officially dropped her highly anticipated sophomore album 'SOS' today - including tracks such as 'Shirt', 'Blind', and 'Ghost In The Machine' (featuring none other than Phoebe Bridgers).

The album includes 23 new tracks in total, and 'F2F' is a big highlight.

"Shut your eyes but it won’t go away / Turn on / Turn off / The news," laments frontwoman Hayley Williams in Paramore's just-released new song, 'The News' - the second single from the band's highly anticipated sixth studio album, 'This Is Why' (out next year on February 10th).

"The first seeds of this short film were planted over ten years ago, and I’ll never forget the behind the scenes moments of the shoot," reminisces Taylor Swift on the short film she directed for her 10-minute version of 'All Too Well' - starring Sadie Sink and Dylan O’Brien.
