They had me at Nashville. When I got the invite from Dreamliner to tour their home base in Music City, I didnโt hesitate.
Creative agency Wild Honey Pie and soda brand Spindrift hosted a Pizza Party at Paulie Gee’s last week, complete with a constant stream of unlimited freshly-baked pizza (with several amazing vegan options), as well as a sampling of various partnered brands, such as the delightful Grillo’s Pickles and the tantalizing Maker’s Mark whiskey, among others. The highlight of the night, however, was an intimate private concert performed by alt-pop singer BENEE, who enticed fans with glimpses into her upcoming album.
When K-pop idols go solo, the outcome can swing in two directions. For DaYoung, best known as a powerhouse vocalist in WJSN (Cosmic Girls) and for her acting roles in dramas like True Beauty, the path is clear: sheโs stepping into her own solo spotlight.ย
N.Flying proved once again why theyโre one of the most unique bands in Korea with their Los Angeles stop of the LIVE WORLD TOUR โ&CON4: FULL CIRCLE.โ Though not yet a household name internationally, the groupโs performance at the Ebell Theater showed exactly why their audience’s loyalty remains, and why they deserve even more love on the global stage.
On Thursday, September 4th, Billboard hosted its annual Hip-Hop/R&B Power Players Awards at Unveiled in Brooklyn, New York.

On August 9th, Feeld, the dating app for the curious, brought together a select group of media and cultural voices for a night of unapologetic energy at Keshaโs sold-out โTits Out Tourโ in West Palm Beach. Far beyond a concert, the event became a living, breathing moment of cultural commentary, blending music, identity, and the freedom of self-expression.
Feeld, known for pushing boundaries in the dating space by creating a platform for authentic, open-minded connections, set the stage for a night that celebrated chaos, desire, and liberation. Guests were invited to step into a space where norms dissolved, identities flourished, and expression was celebrated in its rawest form.
This event came at a cultural crossroads. Recent backlash over Sabrina Carpenterโs โcontroversialโ album artwork and Addison Raeโs lingerie-clad album launch performance highlight a recurring tension around women publicly embracing their sexuality. Into this climate, Kesha boldly arrived; not just as a performer, but as a movement.
Her new initiative, Freedomme, is a declaration that acting, speaking, and loving as your boldest self is no longer up for debate. With her Feeld profile openly declaring herself omnisexual, kinky, and dominant, Kesha embodies the very ethos Feeld has championed since its inception: that desire, identity, and connection deserve room to exist without apology.
By aligning with Keshaโs tour, Feeld is doing more than sponsoring an event; itโs amplifying a conversation. As dating apps increasingly reflect the evolving landscape of modern relationships, Feeld distinguishes itself as a platform for curiosity, inclusivity, and exploration. The partnership wasnโt about swipes and matches; it was about witnessing a cultural reset in action.
Set against the electrifying backdrop of the iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre, the night was drenched in glitter, sweat, and self-expression. For Feeldโs VIP guests, it wasnโt simply about being in the crowd; it was about being part of a moment that blurred the line between performance and protest, entertainment and empowerment.
The West Palm Beach stop of the Tits Out Tour is over, but the conversation it sparked is only just beginning. Keshaโs Freedomme movement, amplified by Feeld, invites all of us to consider what it means to live and love boldly.
In a world quick to police female desire, the night stood as a reminder: expression is power, connection is radical, and curiosity will always be the future of dating.
P1Harmony continues to prove theyโre one of K-popโs rising global forces. At KCON LA 2025, the Crypto.com Arena erupted as fans chanted along to their hits โPretty Boyโ and โDUH!โ โ a familiar stage for the group, now gearing up for their highly anticipated โP1ustage H: Most Wantedโ World Tour, with stops across Latin America, North America, and Asia (possibly a city near you!).
Tuesday, August 26, 2025. Kimoto Rooftop Garden Lounge. Downtown Brooklyn.—Tuesday evening found me and my plus one on the rooftop of the Sheraton Brooklyn Hotel, attending a quaint gathering of VIP media professionals and creative talents. One could say the VIP Reception, hosted by Sun River Health, was the pre-game event to attend before the prestigious Caribbean Music Awards Show, which is returning on Thursday, August 28th, at the Kings Theatre.
When I first heard of HITGS (short for Hip, Innocent, Teenager, Girls, and Story), I didnโt know what to expect, but the name speaks for itself. This risingย K-pop group, made up of five talented young girls, debuted in late April 2025. Yet, by August, they had already released three songs and added more chapters to their โHITG-Story.โ
