Entertainment The band also broke out the Kid A tune “Optimistic,” which hadn’t been touched in concert since 2018 Thom Yorke performing at Radiohead’s tour kickoff in Madrid, their first show in seven years Alex Lake Radiohead‘s four-night stand at Madrid’s Movistar Arena wrapped up Saturday night. These were their first concerts in seven years, and they dug deep into their catalog every night. The third show featured the first performance of “Just” since 2009, and they dug out “Optimistic” on the closing night for the first time since 2018. “Just” appears on The Bends, and was a live favorite throughout the Nineties and the early 2000s. But it vanished from the rotation following the band’s set at the Reading Festival on Aug. 30, 2009. “Optimistic” was the first song the public heard from Kid A since it was released as a promotional single just a few days before the album dropped. It gave fans a slightly skewered perception of the LP since it’s the most guitar-based song on the collection. Over the years, it’s become somewhat of a concert rarity with 97 performances, most of which took place in the early 2000s. (By comparison, they’ve done “The National Anthem,” “Idioteque,” and “Everything in it’s Right Place” more than 300 times each.) This tour marks the first time that Radiohead have gone out without either a new album to promote or new songs to road test. As a result, they’re digging deep into their catalog and dragging out rarities like “Sit Down. Stand Up,” and “(Nice Dream)” that they haven’t played in years. Amazingly, they’ve done 41 different songs after just four shows. Prior to the tour, bassist Colin Greenwood said they’d rehearsed about 70. “So we’ll play anything in any order, at any time,” he said. “We sort of take a busking attitude to the Radiohead set list. They’ve also taken a busking approach to the order of songs in the set. “Planet Telex,” for example, was in the encore of the second show, and it was the opener of the third one. It makes it impossible to predict what they’re going to play next. Every night, however, they’ve performed “2 + 2 = 5,” “Everything in Its Right Place,” “Ful Stop,” “Idioteque,” “Let Down,” “Paranoid Android,” “There There,” “Weird Fishes/Arpeggi,” and “You and Whose Army?” at some point. The tour resumes Nov. 14 in Bologna, Italy. It then heads to London before wrapping up in Copenhagen. They’re playing four shows in every market. As of now, there are no indications about possible North American shows in 2026. From Rolling Stone US. Read More

Entertainment The song is one of several tracks that Charli XCX has written for Emerald Fennell’s upcoming big screen adaptation of Wuthering Heights, which stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi John Cale and Charli XCX Henry Redcliffe Charli XCX has teamed up with Velvet Underground’s John Cale to create a trippy video for their new collaborative song “House,” which will appear on the soundtrack to director Emerald Fennell’s upcoming big screen adaptation of Wuthering Heights. The idea was sparked a few years back when Charli saw the the 2021 Todd Haynes documentary The Velvet Underground. “One thing that stuck with me was how John Cale described a key sonic requirement of the Velvet Underground,” she wrote in a note to fans. “That any song had to be both ‘elegant and brutal.’ I got really stuck on that phrase. I write it down on my notes app and would pull it up from time to time and think about what he meant.” “When working on music for this film, ‘elegant and brutal’ was a phrase I kept coming back to,” she continued. “One day whilst on tour in Austin, Finn [Keane] and I went to the studio and wrote the bones for a song that would eventually become House. When the summer ended I was still ruminating on John’s words. So I decided to reach out to him to get his opinion on the songs that his phrase had so deeply inspired, but also to see whether he might want to collaborate on any.” They wound up chatting on the phone, and Charli sent over several songs, including her initial take on “House.” “We spoke about the idea of a poem,” she added. “He recorded something and sent it to me. Something that only John could do. And it was… well, it made my cry.” The unsettling video shows Charli and Cale isolated together in a remote house, creating the vibe of a horror movie. It includes a spoken-word poem by Cale. “Can I speak to you privately for a moment,” he says. “I just want to explain/Explain the circumstances I find myself in/What and who I really am/I’m a prisoner/To live for eternity.” “House” is one of several Charli XCX songs that will appear on the Wuthering Heights soundtrack. The project began a year ago when Fennell reached out to see if she’d write a single song for the movie, which stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi. “I read the script and immediately felt inspired so Finn Keane and I began working on not just one but many songs that we felt connected to the world she was creating,” Charli wrote. “After being so in the depths of my previous album I was excited to escape into something entirely new, entirely opposite. When I think of Wuthering Heights I think of many things. I think of passion and pain. I think of England. I think of the Moors, I think of the mud and the cold. I think of determination and grit.” The Wuthering Heights soundtrack is one of many projects that Charli XCX has in the works. She’s also star to star in Daniel Goldhaber’s Faces of Death, Gregg Araki’s I Want Your Sex, Cathy Yan’s The Gallerist, Julia Jackman’s 100 Nights of Hero, Romain Gavras’s Sacrifice, and Pete Ohs’s Erupcja.

Entertainment Bridges will follow the release with “A Merry Black Christmas” on Nov. 14 Jones and Bridges Slaven Vlasic/Getty Images for Perelman Performing Arts Center; Norah Jones and Leon Bridges Norah Jones and Leon Bridges teamed up for a holiday single, “This Christmas I’m Coming Home.” The song was written by Jones and Leon Michels, and produced by Michels, and nods to Bridges’ 2015 track “Coming Home.” The festive song sees Jones and Bridges trading verses about returning home for the holidays. “I wanna leave the world behind for now/ And forget about the trouble on my mind,” the pair sings. “I can sit by the fire and lose myself for a while/ And remember what was so hard to find.” The track is the first of two holiday singles from Bridges. The musician will release “A Merry Black Christmas” on Nov. 14. His most recent album, Leon, arrived in 2024. Earlier this year, Jones teamed up Charley Crocket for with the Crooner & the Cowboy Tour, which wrapped in September. Jones has shared numerous Christmas tunes over the years. In 2021, she dropped her first holiday album, I Dream of Christmas, a collection of both classics and originals. The LP was produced by Michels, who also worked on this new collaboration. “I’ve always loved Christmas music but never had the inclination to make a holiday album until now,” Jones said at the time. “Last year I found myself listening to James Brown’s Funky Christmas and Elvis’s Christmas Album on Sundays during lockdown for a sense of comfort. In January 2021, I started thinking about making a Christmas album of my own. It gave me something fun to work on and look forward to.” From Rolling Stone US. Read More

Entertainment The global company’s India expansion is aided by strategic advisor and entertainment lawyer Priyanka Khimani Songpact CEO and co-founder Nick Weaser (left) and Priyanka Khimani. Photos: Courtesy of Songpact With an eye on making music business contracts in India more streamlined, global contract platform Songpact has now launched in India. The company originally announced its India plans in July this year. Songpact — which has so far launched in the U.K., South Africa, and Australia since starting in January 2025 — is available in India through tiered subscription plans. From free models to pay-as-you-go credits, these paid plans start at ₹1,999 per month, with users regularly receiving a bundle of discounted credits that accumulate over time.  The company is co-founded by Nick Weaser and Indian entertainment lawyer Priyanka Khimani, who also serves as a strategic advisor. Explaining how Songpact works, Khimani says in a statement, “The idea was to make the experience of creating contracts as friendly and intuitive as possible. Instead of endless mark-ups of Word documents, users answer clear, straightforward questions in-platform about the commercial terms, with easy-to-follow explainers along the way to create and negotiate a draft contract in minutes.” Among India’s most well-known legal reps, Khimani emphasizes that she has always “endeavored to make legal assistance and guidance available to all types of creators, across different stages of their careers and economic strata.” Songpact CEO Weaser adds in his statement, “Throughout the world, the music contract process has remained exactly the same for decades. We’re changing that. Songpact isn’t just about contracts. It’s about empowering creators with access, knowledge, confidence, and a sense of fairness. It levels the playing field.”  While signing up for Songpact and drafting a contract, the platform claims to create a “robust, plain-English contract” based on terms agreed upon between parties entering into the agreement. These terms are then e-signed and securely stored on the platform, available 24/7. Weaser adds, “The contracting process is archaic and expensive, often forcing creators to choose between paying heavily, risking a handshake deal, or worse, skipping the paperwork entirely. Songpact removes that barrier and makes professional music contracts accessible to everyone.”  “India is a diverse and large country, and technology is one of our biggest assets when it comes to serving the community at scale. Songpact coming to India will be an affordable, pocket-friendly solution that’ll enable artists and their teams to create, negotiate, and manage their everyday contracts.” Read More

Entertainment The Yellowstone International Film Festival 2025 (YIFF 2025) is set to take place from Nov. 13 to 20, 2025, in Mumbai at the PVR dynamix, Juhu. With an array of categories including documentaries, shorts, feature films, and LGBTQIA+ films, this year’s edition will feature over 100 global films, with 50 of them being Indian and Asian premieres. A celebration of the finest picks from independent cinema, the festival will also feature acclaimed international titles, such as Beautiful Evening, Beautiful Day by Ivona Juka, which is about the lives of four Yugosalvian gay filmmakers trying to evade the communist party’s suspicion in the 1950’s, and Aisha Can’t Fly by Morad Mostafa — which depicts the rifts between African migrant groups and the underworld through the eyes of Aisha, a Somali caregiver. Additionally, the festival’s short film sections will premiere works from global festival circuits, including Cannes winner I’m Glad You’re Dead Now by Tawfeek Barhom, Cannes selection Across the Waters and DISC by Viv Li, and TIFF winner I Fear Blue Skies by Salar Pashtoonyar, to name a few. Along with these screenings, audiences can also expect masterclasses with panelists like Hansal Mehta, Ashwiny Iyer, Rohan Kanawade, Shoojit Sircar, and more.  Ahead of the upcoming eight-day festival, Rolling Stone India spotlights some of the Indian films from YIFF 2025 that should be on your radar. Dream Factory (2023) This Arushi Nigam Documentary explores the unsung heroes of the Bollywood production industry, who painstakingly work behind the scenes to bolster the hero’s journey. Ranging from light and sound operators to spot dadas, Nigam’s documentary offers an intimate glimpse into the invisible labor of Mumbai and New Delhi-based crews working backstage. Think Luck By Chance, but with the gritty realism of Faiza Ahmand Khan’s Supermen of Malegaon.  Places I’ve Called My Own (2023) This 28-minute film captures the conflicting emotions that bubble up when you return to the place you once called home. For Tara, a U.S. returnee in the midst of an I.V.F. procedure, coming back means confronting layers of grief, guilt, and unresolved desire. Amidst her father’s death, her mother’s denial about her sexual orientation, and her ex-girlfriend rebuilding a life with a man, Tara grapples with navigating a multitude of emotions that force her to confront what home and belonging truly mean. Village Of Bastards (2024) Amritansh Shukhla and Uday Thakur’s gripping socio-cultural documentary follows the patriarchally entrenched tradition of ancestral sex-work carried out in the village of Natpurwa, Uttar Pradesh. With girls as young as 15 getting into the inter-generational occupation of sex trade, this gut-wrenching feature brings to light the helplessness of the prostitutes, who continue to be exploited not just by the villagers, but also by the media and government. Untouchable: Laughing Out Caste (2024) Stand-up comedian Manjeet Sarkar’s feature-length documentary combines humor and social taboos into a potent mix, making you, the audience, confront uncomfortable truths. Spanning statewide tours, Sarkar uses the mic to vocalize his personal journey of growing up as a Dalit individual, spotlighting the murky intricacies of the oppressive Indian caste system through razor-sharp wit and insightful observations. Notably, Sarkar is also India’s first Dalit comedian to have toured nationally and performed at the United Nations. P for Paparazzi (2024) Diving into the life of Manoj, a Nepali photographer, the film captures the dizzying life of the paparazzi. Beyond the celebrity photo-ops, glitz and glamor, and the constant flare of flashlights, the Divya Kharnare film depicts the hidden complexities, moral dilemmas, medical hiccups, and financial constraints in the life of a paparazzi photographer that often go unnoticed to the public eye. Threads In Tune (2024) Syncing the melodious tunes of the harpsichord with the intricate workings of Indian looms, Threads In Tune adds a fantastical element to the arduous process of making rugs and throws. Showcasing the craftsmanship, step by step, the film combines unique cinematography while pulling focus on homegrown artisans’ modern tools to carry on timeless traditions. The film has won several awards, such as the Barcelona Indie Filmmakers Festival BARCIFF 2024 and the Prague Independent Film Festival 2025, to name a few. Loop Line (2024) Renuka Shahane’s Marathi animated film Loop Line follows the life of a middle-class housewife, bogged down by incessant chores and her husband’s chauvinistic behavior, who resorts to mental fantasies as a form of escapism. Using animation as a medium, Shahane’s directorial debut explores the grave yet never-ending cycle of domestic subjugation that is prevalent in Indian traditional households. Kaisi Yeh Paheli (2025) Resting at the intersection of an Agatha Christie-esque murder mystery and a slice-of-life drama, Kaisi Yeh Paheli teases a premise that’s far deeper and darker than what meets the eye. Set in the sleepy town of Kalimpong, the film dissects the turbulent relationship between Utam, a policeman, and his mother, as she attempts to join him in solving a compelling case that hits closer to home than either of them expected. Dalit Subbaiah: Voice of The Rebels (2025) Narrating the tale of the late Dalit revolutionary singer, writer, and activist Lenin Subbaiah, the award-winning M.K.P. Gridaran documentary shines a light on artistic expression as a socio-political tool for change. Subbaiah was also the founder of a music troupe called Viduthalai Kalai Kuzhu (Voice Of Liberation-A Cultural Troupe), which amplified caste-based issues and propagated Ambedkarite ideologies through music. Likewise, the feature-length film also brings to attention Margazhiyil Makkalisai, a radical musical festival helmed by Tamil rapper, singer, and songwriter Arivu. Using music as a catalyst, the documentary not only chronicles Subbaiah’s legacy but also underscores the plethora of non-hegemonic musical diversity within marginalized communities in India. Chingam (2025) Set against the rural Himanchali backdrop, Ajay and Radhika, two childhood sweethearts, find their way back to each other as life deals them both losing cards. The film captures how Ajay, a failed singer, and Radhika, now married, unravel the layers of love, regrets, and the magic of second chances. Directed by Abhay Sharma, the debut feature also has him acting as the male lead. Sheness

Entertainment The NYC native debuts on the late night show with two tracks from his first EP, I Barely Know Her Singer-songwriter Sombr debuted on Saturday Night Live with two hits from I Barely Know Her, his debut album that he released in August. The New York City native, who just picked up a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist, opened with “12 to 12,” an MTV Video Music Awards nominee for Song of the Summer. Sombr returned later at the piano with “Back to Friends,” which he alone wrote and produced. The lead single from the ten-track LP, “Back to Friends” is one of Rolling Stone‘s Best Songs of 2025 So Far, as it “plays out like an impassioned conversation that bleeds through the walls and captures the melodrama of teenage love.” Sombr, whose real name is Shane Boose, “performs with a distinct internal confidence and external charm that has been notably absent in the withering releases from many of his male contemporaries in pop,” as Rolling Stone‘s Larisha Paul wrote in a positive review of his first album. Sombr’s stop at SNL coincided with the end of the North American leg of The Late Nights & Young Romance Tour, which he sold out. Early next month, he’ll head to New Zealand and Australia before beginning a run of shows in Europe in February. “It’s hard to step back and be like, ‘Wow, this is amazing’ when everything is happening so fast, but it is the best thing that has ever happened to me,” the 20-year-old revealed to MTV in September, before making his awards show debut at the VMAs. “Being able to meet all these people, go to all these countries, and see all these new faces and beautiful people who connect with my music — it’s all I ever wanted to do in my life, so it’s the best thing ever.” From Rolling Stone US.

Entertainment Meg White didn’t show up and Andre 3000 didn’t perform with Big Boi, but it was still an incredible evening featuring appearances by Olivia Rodrigo, David Letterman, Stevie Wonder, and Doja Cat In a more fantastical universe than our own, the 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony at L.A.’s Peacock Theater would have featured Jack White and Meg White coming together as the White Stripes for the first time in 16 years, OutKast‘s first performance since their 2014 reunion tour, and Paul Rodgers fronting Bad Company one last time. In our actual universe, Meg was a no-show, OutKast delivered a speech but not a performance, and drummer Simon Kirke was forced to fly the Bad Company banner on his own. Fortunately, these barely felt like disappointments — as historic as they would have been — because the Hall of Fame once again delivered a spectacular show by bringing in heavyweights like Olivia Rodrigo, Chappell Roan, Doja Cat, Missy Elliott, the Killers, Stevie Wonder, Flea, Donald Glover, David Letterman, Jennifer Hudson, Elton John, and Janelle Monae to speak and perform alongside inductees Salt-N-Pepa, Jack White, OutKast, Soundgarden, and Cyndi Lauper. And it was Lauper who captured the emotional sentiment of the evening near the end of the show. “I know I stand on the shoulders of the women in the industry who came before me,” she said. “My shoulders are broad enough to have the women that come after me stand on mine. And the little kid in me still believes that rock & roll can save the world. Rock & roll is a big, wonderful quilt of a lot of different styles of music, thank goodness.” Several hours earlier, Stevie Wonder kicked off the night by honoring Sly Stone with a high-energy medley of “Dance to the Music,” “Everyday People,” Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin),” and “Higher,” where he was joined by Flea, Beck, Maxwell, Questlove, and Jennifer Hudson. The Hall of Fame clearly meant something to Stone since he made an extraordinarily rare public appearance at the 1993 ceremony when Sly and the Family Stone were inducted, and it felt right to begin the show by honoring his genius even though we lost an astounding number of icons this year. Bad Company emerged onto the scene in 1973, just as Sly and the Family Stone were melting down after one of the greatest five-year runs in music history. It’s been a difficult few years for Bad Company because guitarist Mick Ralphs died in March following a debilitating stroke several years ago, and frontman Paul Rodgers is still recovering from several strokes of his own. (Bassist Boz Burrell died in 2006.) Rodgers was initially optimistic he’d show up and perform a few songs, but he backed out last week because it was simply too stressful for him. Kirke was on hand to accept the award on behalf of the band from Mick Fleetwood. “They say it’s better to travel than arrive,” he said. “But I don’t know. Tonight I’ve arrived with the band, and I’m so grateful…I want to acknowledge one of the great rock singers of all time, my friend, Mr. Paul Rodgers.” Rodgers delivered a brief, pre-taped speech of his own. “Be at peace with God,” he said. “Whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul. It is still a beautiful world. My prayer for us is that we all choose love.” Prior to the speeches, Kirke sat behind the drum kit in his tuxedo and banged out “Feel Like Makin’ Love” and “Can’t Get Enough” with Chris Robinson, Bryan Adams, Joe Perry, and Nancy Wilson. The show jumped from the Seventies to the Nineties when 2023 inductee Missy Elliott came out to welcome Salt-N-Pepa as the first female hip-hop act in the Hall of Fame. “This is historical,” she said. “I watched these three ladies from high school. The reason you even know Missy Elliott’s name is because of Salt, Pepa, and Spinderella. They inspired me to become an M.C…They came out the gate unapologetic, unforgettable, timeless. They were trailblazers and unstoppable. They stepped outside of the box and they broke all the molds. They made women like me feel heard and empowered.” Salt and Pepa have only recently made peace with Spinderella after a protracted legal spat, and an unfortunate war of words in the press. But they walked up to the podium as a unified force to accept the overdue honor. “This moment right here is bigger than us,” said Cheryl “Salt” James. “This is for every woman who picked up a mic when they told her she couldn’t, for every sister who had to fight twice as hard to be heard, for every artist who ever had to learn that ownership is the real freedom.” Sandra “Pepa” Denton thanked her mother, who died just a couple of weeks ago. “She was my strength,” she said. “She was my guidance. She taught me to love, to persevere. I want to thank you mom, for everything.” Spinderella, meanwhile, noted that she was the first female DJ to join the Hall. “When I started, it was a rare thing to see a woman behind turntables,” she said. “It was literally the boy’s club. I had to carve my own lane. I had to show up. It was dedication. It was a craft. And I never missed a beat.” They went all the way back to 1985’s “My Mic Sounds Nice” at the top of their hits medley before bringing out a crew of background dancers for “Shoop” and “Let’s Talk About Sex.” En Vogue joined them for “Whatta Man,” and Kid ‘n Play made a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo during the grand finale of “Push It.” The entire performance was simply a triumph, and proof that they should have been inducted long ago. Warren Zevon is also entering the institution at an absurdly late date. David Letterman delivered a heartfelt speech in his honor that touched upon Zevon’s famous 2002 Late Show appearance, just one year before he died from cancer. “That was

Entertainment Actor Jitendra Kumar is all set to star in a new film alongside Pooja Bhatt. The project delves into the emotionally rich and rarely explored world of kabootar-baazi—India’s age-old pigeon-flying tradition. Jitendra Kumar and Pooja Bhatt team up for film set in India’s traditional pigeon-flying culture A Story Rooted in Culture and Emotion Jitendra Kumar, widely loved for his performances in Panchayat, Kota Factory, Jaadugar, Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan, and the recent Bhagwat: Chapter One – Raakshas, takes on another unique role in this upcoming film. He will be seen as a passionate kabootarbaaz, bringing depth and realism to a character shaped by this traditional sport and its community. National Award-winning actor Pooja Bhatt will play Jitendra’s on-screen mother. Known for her powerful and layered performances in Zakhm, Tamanna, and Daddy, Pooja returns to a more intimate storytelling space that highlights her emotional strength as a performer. The Team Behind the Film The film is produced by Khyati Madaan under her banner Not Out Entertainment and co-produced by Hitesh Kewalya, who is best known for writing Shubh Mangal Saavdhan and both writing and directing Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan. It is written and directed by Bilal Hasan, whose short film Chupchaap earned multiple awards and a Filmfare nomination. This marks Bilal’s debut as a feature film director. Exploring India’s Pigeon-Flying Tradition Set against the backdrop of kabootar-baazi—a practice that involves training and racing homing pigeons from neighborhood rooftops—the film aims to capture a culture that continues to thrive in India’s old mohallas and among pigeon-racing communities around the world.

Entertainment Bigg Boss 19 delivered another one of its most dramatic turns this week with the double eviction of Abhishek Bajaj and Neelam Giri. Both contestants, who have been at the centre of multiple controversies since the beginning of the season, saw their journeys cut short after an intense round of nominations and weekend scrutiny. Bigg Boss 19 double elimination: Abhishek Bajaj and Neelam Giri out after heated clashes and weekend allegations Neelam Giri’s stint inside the house was marked by frequent reprimands from host Salman Khan. The Bhojpuri actress was repeatedly cautioned for her conduct, including the episode where she was accused of body shaming fellow contestant Ashnoor Kaur. Her run also included a series of confrontations— from a heated fallout with Tanya Mittal, once considered her close ally, to a major clash with Farrhana Bhatt. Abhishek Bajaj’s journey wasn’t any less turbulent. During the recently aired Weekend Ka Vaar, Salman Khan called him out once again, this time in the presence of Ashnoor Kaur, pointing out how her presence often gets overshadowed by Bajaj. The actor has also been embroiled in controversies linked to personal allegations made by his ex-wife Akanksha, who questioned his chemistry with Ashnoor and accused him of cheating during their marriage. His time in the house further saw repeated arguments with contestants like Baseer Ali and Shehbaz Gill. Along with Abhishek and Neelam, the other names in the elimination pool this week included Gaurav Khanna, Ashnoor Kaur, and Farrhana Bhatt, who survived the round. With the eviction of two strong yet contentious personalities, the competition now tightens among the remaining contestants—Kunickaa Sadanand, Amaal Malik, Malti Chahar, Pranit More, and Mridul Tiwari along with Khanna, Bhatt, and Kaur— each gearing up for the unpredictable twists Bigg Boss is known for. The latest elimination has unquestionably reshaped the dynamics of Bigg Boss 19, setting the stage for more drama, shifting alliances, and high-octane faceoffs in the weeks ahead.
