If you’re anything like us, we see an interesting headline during our daily scroll—pause to read it—but then keep scrolling without reading the actual story. So at the end of each week, we’re rounding up all the buzziest, news-worthy headlines you might have missed. Think of it like the “saved” feature on Instagram but for news instead of aesthetically pleasing photos. Tyler, the Creator drops his new song, “NOID” alongside a self-directed music video, and Addison Rae releases “Aquamarine” —this is what you missed.
#1
Tyler Is Self-directed
Rapper, record producer, director, actor, fashion designer: Tyler, the Creator does it all. All that experience came handy this week, with the drop of his self-directed music video released alongside his new single: “NOID”. His next album, Chromakopia, is set to release Monday, October 28th. He’s even already announced tour dates for Chromakopia: The World Tour, which will be across North America, Europe, and Oceania.

‘Beautifully Broken’
Beautifully Broken, Jelly Roll’s 10th album, has hit the charts hard and is coming up on top this week. Sitting at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, the album is a candid look into the rapper-turned country singer’s story. Like a storybook, the songs bring us from bottom to top, from addiction, incarceration and trauma to trying to heal himself and the world for better. At #1, Jelly Roll’s songwriting, passion and fire is steadily obvious through his turn to country.

Ariel (Addison’s Version)
Addison Rae just dropped “Aquamarine”, and it’s giving the same starry sound as “Diet Pepsi”, but with a beachy, bubbly twist. The singer tells the world that the world is her oyster in the new single, and she’s right. From Tik Tok to the music world, she knows how to be a star: celebrating her new song, she went full blown Ariel style with a The Little Mermaid-inspired seashell bra and aquamarine-coloured fishnet tights.
