LISA, "Tarantino"

Press Play, LISA’s new EP via LLOUD Co./RCA, is out now, and leading the charge is this sleek cut loaded with references that QT fans will grok immediately. James Mackel directed the video, a valentine to the action auteur’s oeuvre that (like the clip for “SaWaDiKa”) makes a case for LISA as a bona fide action star. Are those the titular filmmaker’s hands clutching that note at the end? If LISA’s propulsive visuals don’t persuade him, certainly he’ll like the line “Got my feet hangin’ out the Camino.”

Happy Wife, Happy Life

Tate McRae, "Housewife"

Pierre Ange-Carlotti directed this richly playful visualization of the RCA pop phenom’s new single, which she co-wrote with Ryan Tedder, Julia Michaels, Grant Boutin, Jasper Harris and Pablo Diaz-Reixa. “I just wanna make a lot of money, bе my own housewife,” she sings, and the luxurious backdrop (“Housewife” was filmed in the South of France) helps make her point. But the loneliness of fame creeps into the frame.

Buffalo Traffic Jam, "Fool's Gold" (Live in Boston)

The Arista duo’s captivating rendition of its gold-certified signature single at Beantown’s Roadrunner distills the raw emotion of its appeal—and helps explain why BTJ sold out its 2027 Pictures of You tour in just two hours. The UTA-booked trek will include the pair’s Ryman debut and see Frankie Cassidy and Nathan Ross charm their way through North America, the U.K. and Europe. The album Pictures of You, which arrived in July, has garnered critical raves.
