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. This is what you missed.
#1
Triple Threat Tate
Tate McRae attended the Variety Power of Young Hollywood Event this past week, and was honoured with the Triple Threat award, a prize that goes to the recipients who are multi-talented in their exceptional work as songwriters, singers and as a performer. McRae in her speech reflected on her rigorous work ethic as she originally started off with dance, before turning her hobbies of singing and dancing into a full time career, even jokingly reflecting on her most recent performance at her set in Lollapalooza, where she soaked herself in gold paint in what was her first festival headlining event.

Through the Valley To Number 1
For the first time ever, Valley has earned their first ever number 1 track with “Vending Machine” landing atop the mountain of alternative radio. The song provides an interesting concept about transactional relationships, using the metaphor of how vending machines exist to give things on demand. The track just adds on to the group’s already extensively unique discography, leaving the question on what Valley’s true sound really is. Read more about Valley here.

Vacation Vibe on a Blue Island
Ravyn Lenae’s newest project Blue Island just dropped and within hours her fans have shown a tremendous amount of support for her third studio album. The project contains features from other notable artists such as Dominik Fike, on “Reputation” and Doechii on “Babygirl”. The 14 track record features a distinct sound that almost makes the project sound as if she duets some of the songs with herself with its unique rhythm and texture.

Eternal Sunset
Ariana Grande recently announced that following the conclusion of her ‘Eternal Sunshine Tour’ she’ll be taking a step back from public visibility. Ariana has been on tour since the start of June, and in the meantime she dropped her newest album Petal which has been a major success amongst pop music since its release. Grande has been balancing her music career with acting performances in movies such as Wicked over the last couple of years, it goes without saying that Ari has earned herself a much deserved break.
