“This is my third album, and people know me a little bit better, but, fuck, they still don’t know.”CLAIRO Hozier may have a pop hit on his hands, but he just wants to wander into the woods (p.11). Clairo invites us into her world of whimsy on new LP Charm, and besties Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg share their version of Hollywood (p.13). Cage the Elephant rock out arenas with their high-octane show (p.14), while The Bear exposes the ugly aspects of restaurant culture (p.18).

Working on her third album, Charm, Claire Cottrill had one goal in mind. “This is my third album, and people know me a little bit better, but fuck, they still don’t know,” says Cottrill, 26, who performs as Clairo. “It takes so many records to really understand someone’s choices.” Recording with co-producer Leon Michels — known for his work with El Michels Affair and Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings — she expanded on the vintage instrumentation she explored on 2021’s Sling, while reviving the sugary synth-pop of her 2019 debut, Immunity. She wound up with an album of dazzlingly delicate indie pop so cohesive, it presents as a whimsical little world of its own. She breaks down six tracks. “Nomad” “Nomad” starts the album, and it’s this yearning song…

1 KAI CENAT “I CAN’T GET COMFORTABLE. BUT IT FEELS GOOD RIGHT NOW WHILE I’M IN THE MOMENT.” Handle @KaiCenat Platform Twitch Followers 12.7 million Kai Cenat, 22, has continued to flex his influence since he started on Twitch in 2021 — tracking millions of views, popularizing terms like “rizz” and “gyatt,” and hosting stars such as Tyla, 21 Savage, and Kevin Hart on his channel, where he splices his witty, chatty conversations amid hours of streamed video games. While he currently has the most subscribers of any influencer on Twitch, he has a massive draw IRL, too, making headlines last year after he told his followers to come to Union Square in Manhattan for free PlayStation 5 consoles, prompting thousands of people to flood the park, resulting in…

“I’m not scrambling up hills anymore.” What music still moves you the most? [French composer Maurice] Ravel. His work lives on the outer edges of the emotional language, the harmonic language, and sensitivities. It speaks to the muddled emotions I’ve felt for most of my life. But if you wanted to go from Ravel into rock, I would say Joni Mitchell’s Hejira or Blue, for the same reason. She was able to express confused emotions without nailing things down. I never got a sense that she’s telling me that she understood stuff. All she ever expressed was the same mystified feeling we all have on a daily basis. Are you happy Phish never had a hit like “Touch of Grey,” which moved the Grateful Dead into stadiums and brought…

Hunter Schafer greets me with a confession. Beckoning me through a small gated fence into the winding maze of the Chateau Marmont’s lush, greenery-covered courtyard, she gives me a hug, then yawns. “There’s a lot happening right now,” she says. “I’ve barely gotten a handle on it.” There’s a gray vape in her hand, worn split-toe Tabis on her feet, and a wry smile on her face. “To be fully honest with you, I’d forgotten this was happening.” It’s refreshing candor coming from a young woman whose most recent — and guiding — revelation seems to be that she doesn’t owe the world shit. In just eight years, Schafer has gone from teen trans-rights advocate to high-fashion model to breakout actor on one of TV’s biggest shows, HBO’s high…

As the sky fades from orange to pink over Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, New York, in early June, 13,000 people stand, enraptured by Hozier’s presence. When the Irish singer-songwriter motions for them to sing, they comply. When he moves through the crowd to reach the B stage, everyone follows his towering six-foot-five-inch figure. It’s the first of his four sold-out shows here, and he opens it with “Too Sweet,” the ubiquitous hit that topped the Billboard Hot 100 three weeks after it came out in March and became the musician’s highest charting entry since he first broke through with the gospel-infused anomaly “Take Me to Church” in 2014. Lots of artists would have saved their most indulgent pop anthem for an encore. But Hozier hooks the crowd from…

Cage the Elephant fans are a dedicated lot. Take the guy who drove roughly 1,400 miles from Vancouver to San Diego to see the band back in July — only to get dumped by his partner outside of the venue. Since his ex’s mom was also his boss, he lost his job too. Undeterred, he hitchhiked to the next Cage show at the Kia Forum in L.A. (We snapped photos of both gigs.) The band’s frontman, Matt Shultz, doesn’t know all that led to the fan’s breakup, but he admires his moxie. “I saw him afterwards, and we ended up talking for hours,” Shultz says. The Grammy-winning rock group is on the road in support of its sixth studio album, Neon Pill, and the dates have yielded memories and…

The already-beloved Kathryn Hahn exploded to a new level of stardom in 2021 with her show-stealing turn as the campy ancient witch Agatha Harkness in the Disney+ series WandaVision, winking, cackling, and singing her way to the most enjoyable MCU performance since Robert Downey Jr. in the original Iron Man. She’s taken on very different roles since, including her Emmy-nominated portrayal of a grieving mom, Clare, in Hulu’s Tiny Beautiful Things. But now, she’s returning to the MCU in her own series, Agatha All Along (Sept. 18 on Disney+). In her mind, it’s all connected. “I think of Clare, which was really difficult emotionally, as a preparation for the witch,” she says, “building off of it in ways that are not conscious. You just have to stay open to…

Francis Ford Coppola is sitting in a large, library-like space that is right next to the gift-shop area of his Niebaum Coppola Estate Winery in Napa, California, behind a usually closed set of doors. The awards, family pictures, and massive collection of vintage zoetropes are all in the lobby. The tasting room, which resembles something like a 15th-century monastery, albeit one with a state-of-the-art espresso machine, is on the other side of the chateau. ● The room where the 85-year-old filmmaker, winemaker, and overall rainmaker is currently mugging for a photographer and fiddling with his break-away glasses is filled with floor-to-ceiling shelves of leather-bound books, paintings, a grand piano, a long conference table, and expensive-looking, comfortable chairs. It looks like a cross between a museum wing and the world’s…

Over the past decade, Lainey Wilson has established herself as a Nashville force. The reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year and recently-inducted Grand Ole Opry member has written songs for the likes of Luke Combs and Thompson Square; she’s appeared on the modern Western Yellowstone after having songs of hers featured on the hit series; and she’s steadily released catchy, punchy albums that mashup Southern rock, soul, and classic Nashville ideals into a genre that she’s dubbed “bell-bottom country.” Since releasing her first full-length album in 2014, Wilson has refined and built on that concept, polishing and expanding the boundaries of her sound while keeping the honest storytelling and all-in singing that powers her best work intact. With her third major-label album, Whirlwind, the Louisiana native flexes her songwriting…
