Billie Eilish plays double duty as director and star of the music video for her latest ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft‘ single ‘CHIHIRO.’

Starring Nat Wolff, the visual – which serves as the follow-up to the top 10 hit ‘Lunch‘ – sees her stumble through a dream as she envisions dark hallways and closing doors that symbolize the darkest corners of her mind.

“Open up the door, can you open up the door? / I know you said before you can’t cope with any more / You told me it was war, said you’d show me what’s in store / I hope it’s not for sure, can you open up the door?,” she croons in the artsy clip.

Having already peaked at #12 on the Hot 100, is the ‘CHIHIRO’ music video just what’s needed to catapult the tune into the top 10?

With countless records sold and nearly 40 years in music as a producer, record executive, rapper, and more, it’s safe to say Jermaine Dupri has made an indelible impact on the industry – a status that makes him a more-than-qualified and often sought-after voice when questions about the state of Hip-Hop come up.

As a guest of the 2024 United Masters’ SelectCon conference in his hometown of Atlanta over the weekend, Dupri dished on everything from his humble beginnings to rising to dizzying heights of fame and more.

When quizzed on the state of Hip-Hop, however, J.D. didn’t bite his tongue with his disappointment in how little the genre has evolved over the years.

All new and it’s all for you.

Pop Queen Janet Jackson may have spent most of 2023 reigning over touring box offices with her critically acclaimed ‘Together Again Tour,‘ but – months after learning the trek was her most successful in history – the 58-year-old is looking to extend that personal record by returning to North America for a second leg.

Kicking off the 35 date-venture at Palm Desert, California’s Acrisure Arena on Tuesday (June 4), Jackson cranked out high-octane performances of some of her most memorable hits like ‘Doesn’t Really Matter,’ ‘So Excited,’ ‘All For You,’ ‘What Have You Done for Me Lately,’ ‘Control,’ and more.

As if that wasn’t enough to send her fans (affectionately called the #JanFam) into a frenzy, Jan rocked the house with rarely performed cuts like ‘Make Me,’ ‘All Nite (Don’t Stop),’ ‘Someone to Call My Lover,’ Rock With U,’ and others.
