Life Listens: New music from Rose, Ariana Grande, Shazza and Benjamin Kheng
The Straits Times curates the most buzz-worthy music you need to know about that was released in the past month. PHOTOS: ROSES_ARE_ROSIE/INSTAGRAM, AFP, CROSS RATIO ENTERTAINMENT SINGAPORE – In this monthly column, The Straits Times curates the most buzz-worthy music you need to know about that was released in the past month. Stream This Song: Rose – Messy The latest single from Rose of K-pop girl group Blackpink is also her first contribution to a film soundtrack. Messy is the second single from F1: The Movie , the sports action drama starring Brad Pitt. It is set to open in Singapore cinemas on June 26. The minimally produced, electronic-tinged pop ballad has her taking a more restrained approach, with more crooning and less belting. Lyrically, it shares the same space as her previous solo single, Toxic Till The End. She also explores the darker side of complicated relationships in Messy, and how being in love can blind one to toxic traits. 'How bad could it really hurt?' she asks in the song. The South Korean-New Zealand singer is credited as a songwriter on the track, together with a team that includes Lostboy, the British songwriter-producer who won a Grammy for Best Pop Dance Recording for Australian diva Kylie Minogue's 2023 hit Padam Padam. Messy is also gaining traction among local listeners, and made its debut on Rias' Official Singapore Chart at No. 6 in mid-May. Must-see MV: Ariana Grande – Supernatural In the new music video for Supernatural, American singer-actress Ariana Grande walks through a burning, post-apocalyptic neighbourhood and get s abducted by aliens. It sounds like the plot of a B-grade science-fiction flick, but there are layers of hidden meanings behind the visuals. The UFO at the end, for example, is a symbol of the otherworldly love and loss of control she sings about on the track from her seventh album Eternal Sunshine (2024), while the destruction is a metaphor for the end of a doomed relationship. Directed by Grande and American music video director Christian Breslauer, the video first appeared as part of Brighter Days Ahead, the short film that accompanied Eternal Sunshine. It spawned a reissue, Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead, released in March.

PHOTO: ARIANAGRANDE/YOUTUBE In the Brighter Days Ahead film set 70 years after the events of her We Can't Be Friends (Wait For Your Love) MV, Grande plays Peaches, a character who has her memories of a past relationship wiped out. If that sounds familiar, it is because it was influenced by Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, the 2004 sci-fi romance film starring Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet that inspired Grande's album title. Ace Album: Sleep Token – Even In Arcadia Even In Arcadia is the fourth album by enigmatic British band Sleep Token. PHOTO: RCA RECORDS In the last couple of years, Sleep Token went from viral sensations to chart-topping global music stars. Fronted by a singer and multi-instrumentalist who is known only as Vessel, the enigmatic, mask-wearing British band are known for widening the scope of metal music by incorporating pop, R&B and electronic, ambient soundscapes. Even In Arcadia, Sleep Token's fourth album, strays even further from their hard rock and metal roots. Vessel croons passionately in emotionally-laden verses before being engulfed in big, downtuned power chords and polyrhythmic drums.

PHOTO: ANDY FORD The cathartic screams are kept to a minimum, and he seems more intent on employing vibratos and falsettos in songs that tackle personal introspection and emotional vulnerability. Notably, in Caramel and Damocles, he sings about the burden of fame, and how a rising and increasingly demanding fan base paved the way to existential dread. Thanks to massive streaming numbers – Even In Arcadia registered the highest streaming week for a hard rock album – the release reached No. 1 on the Billboard album charts, a spot normally reserved for pop, hip-hop and country acts. Chart Champ: Morgan Wallen – I'm The Problem I'm The Problem is the fourth album by American country music singer Morgan Wallen. PHOTO: BIG LOUD American country singer Morgan Wallen's I'm The Problem went straight to No. 1 on the US Billboard album chart, its biggest debut so far in 2025. The new offering also scored the highest streaming week for any album released in 2025. His fourth album overall, it is his third to top this chart. A marathon of a listen, I'm The Problem runs a little under two hours, with 37 songs in total. American country music singer Morgan Wallen. PHOTO: DAVID LEHR As the title suggests, there is a distinctive shift to introspective songwriting throughout, a sign that the country star has embraced newfound maturity in his craft. It is a far cry from the carefree, pleasure-loving early works. Songs such as the title track and Kick Myself see Wallen tackle his imperfections, while Superman showcases a desire to be a better role model for his young son. Being one of contemporary country music's most successful artistes is sweet, but as he points out in tracks such as Falling Apart and Genesis, fame can come with a heavy emotional toll. Singapore Scene: Shazza and Benjamin Kheng – Olivia Dean Home-grown singer-songwriters Shazza and Benjamin Kheng collaborated for the first time on a pop song in Olivia Dean. PHOTO: CROSS RATIO ENTERTAINMENT Home-grown singer-songwriters Shazza and Benjamin Kheng collaborate for the first time on Olivia Dean, a sprightly pop track and a paean to first love. The pair mooted the team-up while they were both performers at the 2024 National Day Parade. The upbeat tune ha s an infectious melody and their voices blend harmoniously as they sing about the exhilarating rush of a new romance. Titled after English neo-soul singer-songwriter Olivia Dean, the song also features a catchy, choir-ready bridge as well as orchestral embellishments.

Colton Ford: Popular Gay Porn Star Found Dead Aged 62 in Mysterious Hiking Trail Accident
Glenn Soukesian, a popular gay porn star, better known by his stage name Colton Ford, was found dead in a mysterious hiking incident near Palm Springs, California, officials have confirmed. Ford, 62, was found dead Monday evening on the Goat Trails in the desert region near Palm Springs, California, according to the Bay Area Reporter. Police found his body on Monday after friends reported him missing when he did not come back from a hike the previous day. While the exact cause of death is still unclear, a spokesperson for the Palm Springs Police Department told the Reporter that the local coroner has ruled out any signs of foul play. Tragic and Mysterious Death Lieutenant Mike Villegas, a spokesperson for the Palm Springs Police, said that there is currently no information available regarding the cause of death. "He was on a local hiking trail here in Palm Springs," Colton's friend Tim Wood wrote on Facebook. "The police have not shared the details of their findings yet, so we don't really know what happened to cause his death. My heart is broken - it's almost too much to take. "One of my best friends, a man who helped save my life many years ago. I miss you terribly. I can't stop the flood of tears." Hailing from Pasadena, Ford was considered a silver fox success story, beginning his adult film career at 40 and continuing for 22 years, according to Out magazine. Star in His Own Right In his illustrious career, the porn star collaborated with multiple production companies, including MRS Releasing, RawF—kClub, All Worlds, Mustang, and Falcon Studios. Before entering the adult film industry, Ford was a recording artist, and collaborated with Denise Rich's production company, MIDE Productions, as well as with Virgin Records. Outside of adult films, Ford appeared in movies such as "Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild!," which featured RuPaul, and Hellbent, a thriller centered around a serial killer targeting a group of muscular men in West Hollywood. His last project was a 2023 R&B and pop album titled "Permission". Famous drag queen and adult film director Chi Chi LaRue paid tribute to Colton Ford in a post shared on Facebook. "I'm So Shocked and Saddened to Hear and Report the sudden passing of my friend and Icon Glen aka Colton Ford! You will missed! Keep Singing In Heaven!" LaRue wrote under his real name, Larry David Paciotti.

Arts Picks: Ursula Palla and Wifredo Lam solos, Mr Lim's Shop Of Visual Treasures exhibition
Thousands 2 by Ursula Palla documents the eating of money notes by a colony of ants. PHOTO: TANG CONTEMPORARY ART Threshold Lives: On Presence Without Recognition Swiss artist Ursula Palla has an eclectic solo at Tang Contemporary Art, inserting scenes of nature into the Delfi Orchard gallery more accustomed to showing commercial paintings. In overseas shows, she incorporated unconventional materials such as moulded sugar, coal dust and snow, but the ones chosen for this tropical clime are decidedly more durable. In the show curated by Sue Oh, gun metal is melted down and sculpted into tall stalks of fireweed. Some 3,200 fish hooks are painstakingly cleaned and hung from the ceiling to evoke an undulating landscape. This rehabilitation of man-made materials extends to found natural objects. Branches from the Singapore Botanic Gardens have been rustled together to create nests for digitally projected owls, in a floor-level installation that recalls Singapore Venice Biennale representative Robert Zhao's oeuvre. Palla, who grew up in the Swiss mountains, says her recontextualisation of nature in art is driven by her concerns of bio-extinction. Sculpting natural objects with materials such as bronze is her way of problematising what people see as valuable. On 12 monitors on the floor, this tension is given literal representation as a colony of ants gobbles up currency, a work inspired by a Japanese woman who stored her money under her eventually bug-ridden bed. Palla says her next obsession is water – and dragonflies. 'This is one of the biggest problems we have on earth – fresh and clean water. If you see dragonflies, you know there's clean water around because they are so sensitive.' On how she searches for new ideas, she adds: 'I work with a lot of scientists. My husband studied agriculture and my son does geography. I'm surrounded by experts.' Remains – Nested, featuring branches from the Singapore Botanic Gardens. PHOTO: TANG CONTEMPORARY ART Where: Tang Contemporary Art, 06-01/02 Delfi Orchard, 402 Orchard Road MRT: Orchard/Orchard Boulevard When: Till May 31, 11am to 7pm (Tuesday to Sunday); closed on Monday Admission: Free Info: Wifredo Lam: Outside In Wifredo Lam's paper works continue the hybrid imagination of his paintings. PHOTO: STPI Singapore will host the late Cuban artist Wifredo Lam's first solo exhibition in South-east Asia, before the modernist painter's major retrospective at New York's Museum of Modern Art in November. Known primarily for his surrealist Afro-Cuban paintings closely associated with the innovations of Spanish maestro Pablo Picasso, Lam's presentation at print and paper gallery STPI focuses on his printmaking practice. More than 60 of his paper works , many developed in his later years from 1963 to 1982, have been gathered, consistent with his fascination with hybrid figures that are part animal, part human and even part vegetal – fecund in their humour, perversity and gothic imagination. The title refers to Lam's outsider status as an artist of Chinese descent who spent most of his years in Europe. Sidelined in art history, he has in recent years been rehabilitated to become one of the most important figures of 20th-century art. Some selected works are prints drawn from his livres d'artiste, or artist books, that he collaborated on with poets such as Aime Cesaire and Gherasim Luca, telling of a precocious interest in juxtaposing image and the written word. There are also special treats from what is called Lam's Centennial Edition that were published posthumously between 1997 and 2002. These are drawn from unpublished plates he had worked on during his lifetime. Wifredo Lam's half-animal, half-human figures are fecund in their gothic imagination.

PHOTO: LIM CHIAO WOON This 'gloriously haphazard, ever evolving' sprawl of works cramped into Mr Lim's Shop Of Visual Treasures is part of an exhibition officially opens only on June 3, but is already open for early-bird visitors to peruse. With loose coordination by gallery founder Lim Chiao Woon, it places art by new artists and icons including Ai Weiwei and Shepard Fairey in horizontal conversation. The eventual configuration will feature 50 works, with 30 already in place. Later additions will include works by regional veterans such as Singapore's Tang Da Wu and Jeremy Hiah, Thailand's Vasan Sitthiket and Indonesia's Melati Suryodarmo. Mr Lim says there will also be a surprise offering by Singapore's pioneer conceptual artist Cheo Chai-Hiang. The exhibition shares its title with Cheo's latest work, the form of which remains a mystery even to Mr Lim.
