Peter A. Berry Even before TikTok singles were a thing, Tierra Whack had already mastered the art of the nano-song. Released in 2018, “Whack World” is a debut mixtape as compact as it is brilliant: a kaleidoscopic, 15-track joyride where each song checks in at exactly one minute — and remarkably, most of the tracks are complete songs rather than snippets, even though they zoom past so quickly.
It’s mesmerizing, but it scans as a preview for a climactic release that never came. In a way, her career itself has played out like a half-decade-long snippet. Since unloading her first tape, Whack has released music sporadically, dropping occasional loosies along with three tantalizing but brief EPs three years ago.
She’s been a XXL Freshman and earned comparisons to hip-hop legends, but the scarcity of her music has halted her classification as a star while insulating her from the scrutiny that comes with a full-length project. The safeguards and hypotheticals can be cast aside with the release of “World Wide Whack,” a debut full-length album that expands the creative vision she introduced six years ago. Checking in at around 40 minutes, it’s a fully realized portrait of Tierra in all her idiosyncratic glory.
If her first project was “Whack World,” this one is Whack Universe. She goes all over the musical map as she oscillates between retro jazz funk, sprightly raps, and quirky everygirl R&B scribbled in crayon. Depending on the track, she can be a goofier SZA, or an untethered Kendrick Lamar who colors even more wildly outside of the lines.

Michael Jackson’s son, Bigi, has taken his grandmother to court in an attempt to prevent her from using funds from his father’s estate as part of a legal battle.Bigi – whose legal name is Prince Michael Jackson III, and is also known as Blanket – has requested that Katherine Jackson be prevented from using the funds to finance her legal battle against executors.Attorneys have said that Katherine’s legal services requests do not benefit the estate, so a judge should not approve them (per USA Today).It comes after reports emerged last week that the late pop legend’s son was filing a legal injunction against his grandmother.The filing was thought to be in response to Katherine’s opposition of the recent landmark deal the estate made with Sony to sell half of Michael’s music catalogue for $600million (£475million).The deal is expected to be the biggest-ever valuation of an artist’s music assets, with sources valuing it at between $1.2billion and $1.5billion in total (£950million – £1.19billion).Bigi previously claimed that he and Katherine presented their arguments against the deal, but ultimately the court ruled against them – which seemingly brought the legal issue to a close.However, a filing states that “despite the expense and long odds, Katherine decided to pursue an appeal.”The court filing said the Sony deal was “of paramount significance to Bigi, both financially and personally”, who has decided to move on from the court dispute.Katherine had previously told the court that Michael never wanted his music catalogue to be sold.Last week, Billboard reported that Katherine Jackson has received more than $55million (£43.5million) since the singer’s death in June 2009, according to claims from Michael Jackson’s estate

on Friday, March 22, when—in a candid video message posted to Instagram—Middleton announced that she has been diagnosed with cancer, though she did not say what type or what stage. Sitting by herself on an outdoor bench, the 42-year-old Princess of Wales explained that her doctors discovered cancer had been present after running tests following the planned abdominal surgery she underwent in January.Translation: While commenters () on the internet, social media, and television have been cracking jokes about Kate’s lack of public appearances, speculating that she was recovering from cosmetic surgery, that she’d left her husband, that he was unfaithful to her, or worse, that she’d somehow died, the princess has been undergoing chemotherapy and being a mother to her three young children.“It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family,” she said in the video.This content can also be viewed on the site it from.Let’s be clear: While it was brave of her to do so, Kate Middleton did not have to make this very private announcement to the world if she didn’t feel totally ready.
Thania Garcia Last year, Tyla established herself as a promising star with “Water,” her career-launching Top 10 single that earned her a Grammy long before she had a complete body of work in hand. But the song was proof of a working formula: “popiano,” a twist on South African amapiano that she uses to describe her blend of the genre’s piano-driven, tech-house beats and the progressive tempos of pop and R&B. On her self-titled debut, Tyla, born Tyla Laura Seethal, builds a world anchored by this formula, making for an enthralling first record that distinguishes her from her Afrobeats peers on a quest to pop crossover.

Alex Swhear Katie Crutchfield delivers the first words of “3 Sisters,” the first song on Waxahatchee’s sixth album, in a tentative hush, the sort that might precede either the very best or very worst number at your local talent show. “I make a living crying / It ain’t fair and not budging,” she sings, and a bit later, “All my life I’ve been running from what you want.” She is unfailingly earnest, but her words carry a piercing wit and candor.
Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic At a glance, Shirley Chisholm’s 1972 campaign for president was the definition of quixotic. She was 47 years old; at the time, she had served only one term (starting in 1968) as the first Black woman to be elected to Congress. (Her district centered on the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn.) To say that Chisholm wasn’t a seasoned Washington, D.C., player would be putting it mildly, and she looked the part of the outsider.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic When two stars have “chemistry,” we tend to think of it as basic animal magnetism. And maybe that’s the essence of it. Yet when a romantic movie works, even a synthetic magical rom-com trifle like “Irish Wish,” what draws us into the chemistry isn’t simply the actors’ sexy connection.
