Twisted secret behind Spotify's biggest new band... as fans and artists boycott the music service

Spotify is facing boycotts from both artists and subscribers over its move into AI. Not only is the streaming service facing backlash for its ties to an AI military startup, one of the biggest new bands on the site is rumored to be AI generated. The band, named The Velvet Sundown, already have over 550,000 million monthly listeners despite only debuting on the service in early June. Promotional images of the band all appear to be AI generated, and the credits on their music has no writers, producers or musicians listed. There's also no live performances or interviews of the band anywhere to be found, and none of the four members have any kind of internet presence. The band also has barely any social media followers, with just 322 on Instagram and 47 followers on X. Despite this, The Velvet Sundown have been featured on multiple popular Spotify playlists. After various media outlets reported that The Velvet Sundown may be AI-generated, the band hit back in a series of posts on X - yet offered no proof to disprove the claims. 'Absolutely crazy that so-called 'journalists' keep pushing the lazy, baseless theory that The Velvet Sundown is 'AI-generated' with zero evidence,' they wrote. 'Not a single one of these "writers" has reached out, visited a show, or listened beyond the Spotify algorithm,' they continued. 'This is not a joke. This is our music, written in long, sweaty nights in a cramped bungalow in California with real instruments, real minds, and real soul. Every chord, every lyric, every mistake — HUMAN.' They added, 'Just because we don't do TikTok dances or livestream our process doesn't mean we're fake.' And despite their miniscule following on social media, the band said that they had to 'lock down' all of their accounts 'due to harassment'. However, none of their accounts are officially verified by any site outside of Spotify, and none of their social media accounts have been set to private either. On Deezer, where The Velvet Sundown's music also appears, there's a warning from the streamer stating, 'some tracks on this album may have been created using artificial intelligence'. has contacted The Velvet Sundown for comment. Back in 2017, Spotify was forced to deny reports that they had created 'fake' artists to fill up their playlists, presumably in a bid to reduce royalty payments. 'We do not and have never created 'fake' artists and put them on Spotify playlists. Categorically untrue, full stop,' they said at the time. 'We do not own rights, we're not a label, all our music is licensed from rights holders and we pay them - we don't pay ourselves.' Meanwhile, allegations of AI artists isn't the only issue that Spotify is dealing with right now. The streaming service is currently facing boycotts from a handful of fans and artists after a venture capital firm founded by Spotify CEO Daniel Ek contributed 600 million euros ($693.6 million) to German military tech startup Helsing. According to the Financial Times, the company is producing drones, aircraft and submarines, and developing a system to create AI fighter pilots. Ek told the publication, 'There's an enormous realisation that it's really now AI, mass and autonomy that is driving the new battlefield'. Ek's involvement in military technology has caused a number of artists to pull their music from Spotify, including indie band Deerhoof and Amsterdam label Kalahari Oyster Cult. 'We don't want our music killing people,' Deerhoof said in a statement. 'We don't want our music tied to AI battle tech'. Others have decided to cancel their Spotify accounts. 'Cancelled my subscription and never going back. should've made the move ages ago as it's been red flags for a long time,' wrote one user.

Fast and Furious' Brian O'Conner to return in final film, Vin Diesel says

A Return To Form For Franchise's Final Film, Diesel Said Brain O'Conner, the cop-turned-outlaw played by the late Paul Walker, will return for the final Fast and Furious movie, franchise star Vin Diesel said Saturday at the Fuel Fast event in Los Angeles. In a short speech that's made the rounds on social media, Diesel said that, when asked by Universal Studios to lock in a release date of April 20, 2027, for the Fast and Furious finale, he responded with three conditions. One was a return to Los Angeles, the second was a return to the street racing that was the focus of the first film. 0:07 / 0:09 2026 Audi A6 Avant debuts to fight BMW 5 Series Touring Watch More 'The third thing was reuniting Dom and Brian O'Conner,' Diesel said, referring to his own character Dominic Toretto. 'That is what you are going to get in the finale.' Digital Effects And A Sibling Stand-In Could Make It Happen Walker starred opposite Diesel in the first six Fast and Furious movies before he was killed in a car crash on November 30, 2013. Filming of Furious 7 was already underway at that time, so things were changed to write O'Conner out of the franchise. That included a final scene in which Walker's brother Cody stepped in as O'Conner, with digital effects to make the switch less obvious. Cody Walker stood next to Diesel during the announcement, along with Tyrese Gibson, who plays Roman Pearce in the franchise. Diesel didn't elaborate on how the production team would accomplish his wish list, but digital effects to change an actor's appearance, including superimposing the likenesses of dead actors onto living ones, has only become more common since the release of Furious 7. So it's not difficult to imagine Brian O'Conner making his return this way.

Expected to be Called Fast X Part Two (as it picks up on the storyline from 2023's Fast X) its scheduled release date will be 26 years after the 2001 release of The Fast and the Furious. That's an impressive record for any movie franchise, and explains the eagerness to bring back Brian O'Conner for one last ride. About the Author Stephen Edelstein View Profile

Anna Wintour emerges for first time since bombshell Vogue shake-up and Bezos wedding snub despite Lauren Sanchez cover

Anna Wintour has been pictured for the first time since the bombshell news she will be stepping down from one of her roles at Vogue after 37 years. The style icon was spotted attending Marc Jacobs ' 2026 runway show at the New York Public Library on Monday - her first public appearance since the major shake-up. Even after relinquishing one of her Vogue roles, Anna didn't let the career move impact her fashion sense as she sat front row, looking sophisticated and poised as usual. She wore her trademark sunglasses along with a rose print white dress and colorful array of necklaces as she sat alongside other fashionistas. The appearance comes several days after Wintour, 75, told staffers that she will be hiring a new head of editorial content at American Vogue. She will continue to hold her position as Condé Nast's global chief content officer and global editorial director at Vogue, and the new head of editorial content will report to her. As chief content officer, Wintour oversees every brand globally, including Wired, Vanity Fair, GQ, AD, Condé Nast Traveler, Glamour, Bon Appetit, Tatler, World of Interiors and Allure - among others. Wintour first became editor in chief of Vogue in 1988 and is credited with completely transforming the famed fashion magazine. She is also behind making the Met Gala what it is today - a red carpet event attended by the fashion elite, as she handpicks the celebrities and makes sure to greet them personally. Chief executive of Conde Nast, Roger Lynch, told Wall Street Journal that it made sense for Wintour to step back from American Vogue so that she can focus on her other roles at the company, pointing out that she's been doing three jobs since 2020. 'This will enable her to make time for everyone who needs her,' he said. Her shock decision has left the fashion world reeling, as there's not a clear replacement who can step into her designer shoes - and she has left quite big shoes to fill. Fashion fans have taken to X (previously Twitter) to voice their shock, calling it the 'end of an era' and saying it's something they never thought they'd see, as she was tied so directly to the brand for so many years. Wintour's first job was on the now defunct Harpers & Queen. Before Wintour took over at Vogue as the EIC she was its creative director in 1983. She then went back home to British Vogue, where she served as EIC from 1985 to 1987, before rejoining American Vogue. Her famed covers included appearances from A-listers like Oprah Winfrey, Madonna, Ivana Trump, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, and more. However, Wintour's time at Conde Nast has not been without controversy. Most recently, she left Vanity Fair staff 'blindsided' over her surprising decision to appoint her daughter's friend to run the magazine. She picked her daughter Bee Shaffer's close pal Mark Guiducci, 36, to run Vanity Fair following a high-profile search for the publication's next leader.
