Music Madonna’s Medellin As expected, Madonna dropped her new single, “Medellin” ft Maluma, yesterday ahead of the June 14th release of her next album Madame X, her first since 2015’s Rebel Heart. “Medellin” is not EDM, a relief. My friend Brian calls it “La Isla Bonita part 2”. Indeed, Madonna is going By Lainey • Apr 18, 2019 11:07 am

What Else What Else? George Lucas created Star Wars. So picking a favourite Star Wars character, for him, is like favouring one child over another. It’s no surprise then that the character he picked is probably the most divisive. If you see it through the parenting lens, he’s going to protect the By Lainey • Apr 17, 2019 04:35 pm
