Reality Star Brandi Glanville Teams Up With RIP Youth And Achieves Dance-Pop Glory
Dance-pop artist Rip Youth teams up with Brandi Glanville and Beks for 'Remedy' — a vibrant summer anthem celebrating trust, growth, and reinvention. LA, CA, UNITED STATES, May 23, 2025 / / -- Australian dance-pop pioneer Rip Youth makes a powerful return with his latest single 'Remedy', a vibrant, vocal-driven anthem featuring an unexpected yet electric collaboration with reality TV star Brandi Glanville and rising pop talent Beks. A feel-good fusion of genre-blending production and raw vocal energy, Remedy is more than a summer-ready track — it's a testament to creative chemistry, mutual trust, and artistic growth. 'There's also a trust factor,' Rip Youth explains. 'Brandi knows I've been making music for a long time, so I'd tell her when something was off, and she would trust my opinion. But honestly, Brandi is a great writer - she didn't need much help in that department.' While Glanville is widely known for her role on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, her vocal talent is winning over both fans and former castmates. Since the track's release, Remedy has garnered support across social media from familiar names like Lisa Rinna, Phaedra Parks, Camille Grammer, Teresa Giudice, and Kristen Taekman — a wave of support that surprised even Glanville herself. 'The reaction to the song so far has been amazing,' Rip Youth shares. 'Seeing Brandi's ex-castmates sharing it was a really beautiful, unexpected nod to her and her vocal talent. Especially after the whole debacle with Bravo, it's easy for people to side with popular opinion or whoever's signing the checks. So I think even Brandi was a little taken aback.' Back in the studio, Glanville embraced the process with her signature perfectionism and surprising ease. 'She showed up a little nervous,' he says, 'because everything she does, she wants it to be the best. But once we settled into a safe space, she relaxed. Our vocal producer Matt held her hand through it, and before long, she was surprised at how good she sounded. We even had her add some love to the chorus.' For Glanville, the project marked a full-circle moment — connecting her early love of performance with a new chapter in music. 'I'm looking forward to traveling again to promote and perform Remedy with people I adore,' she says. 'Everyone who was involved in this song is awesome.' And the passion runs deep: 'I did dance and gymnastics as a child and absolutely loved performing,' she adds. 'I used to choreograph my own floor routines and pick my own music - let's just say, some people were in shock, LOL.' About Rip Youth Rip Youth is a LA-based dance-pop producer known for genre-blending hits and infectious hooks. His previous collaborations include work with Bombs Away and renowned vocalists across the globe. About Brandi Glanville Brandi Glanville is a television personality, New York Times bestselling author, and podcast host best known for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Remedy marks a bold step into her evolving creative career. About Beks Beks is a rising Australian singer-songwriter and performer known for her dynamic stage presence and emotive vocals.

Estonia's Tommy Cash says Italians aren't in a froth over his Eurovision song ‘Espresso Macchiato'
BASEL, Switzerland — One song generating a lot of froth at the Eurovision Song Contest is 'Espresso Macchiato,' a dance-pop ditty by Estonian rapper and visual artist Tommy Cash. Estonia's entry in the pan-continental pop competition, which holds its grand final on Saturday in Basel, Switzerland , is a playful dance-pop track that reels off a string of Italian cliches — including references to spaghetti and 'sweating like a mafioso' — before a singalong chorus: 'Espresso macchiato, macchiato, macchiato.'

Estonia's Tommy Cash says Italians aren't in a froth over his Eurovision song ‘Espresso Macchiato'
BASEL, Switzerland (AP) — One song generating a lot of froth at the Eurovision Song Contest is 'Espresso Macchiato,' a dance-pop ditty by Estonian rapper and visual artist Tommy Cash. Estonia's entry in the pan-continental pop competition, which holds its grand final on Saturday in Basel, Switzerland, is a playful dance-pop track that reels off a string of Italian cliches — including references to spaghetti and 'sweating like a mafioso' — before a singalong chorus: 'Espresso macchiato, macchiato, macchiato.' The song has some fans singing it in the streets of Basel. But it raised a few eyebrows in Italy, where a consumers' association branded it offensive and complained to Eurovision organizer the European Broadcasting Union. Cash said that he's seen media articles about a backlash, but 'I see only the love.' 'Everyone coming to me is like 'I'm from Italy, you're a legend there and we're so happy to have your song,'' he told The Associated Press on Friday amid rehearsals for the Eurovision final. Cash said that if U.S. singer Sabrina Carpenter can have a hit about espresso in her Grammy Award-winning 2024 hit of that name, he too should be able to sing about coffee. 'She should be singing about Big Gulps,' he joked. As Europeans, 'we're the OGs. (Coffee) originated from Italy. 'The thing is, coffee is for the world,' he said. 'Everyone can drink coffee. Americans, Europeans, and this brings us together.' Italian themes are in vogue at Eurovision this year — another competitor is Italian DJ Gabry Ponte, representing tiny San Marino with 'Tutta L'Italia.' Many Italians have embraced the cheery catchiness of 'Espresso Macchiato,' even though most would never dream of adding milk to espresso, widely considering macchiato a tourists' drink. 'We Italians are nice and we laugh at these things,' said Francesco Malferrari, enjoying an espresso — no milk — in a Rome cafe. 'Yes, there are some stereotypes, but we in Italy are used to it, so in reality we smile. 'But this year we have to root for Lucio Corsi,' the glam rocker who is Italy's Eurovision competitor. 'Because we are for Italy, so let's root for Lucio Corsi. But let's have an espresso and laugh it off.' ___ Dario Artale contributed to this story from this Rome.

Eurovision 2025 semi-final one review — the usual glorious nonsense
It is that time of year when countries across Europe and beyond represent themselves in a bizarre parallel world of national folk traditions, synthetic dance beats, novelty tunes and terrible faux urban rap, all performed in choreographed dance routines with high production values. Eurovision has so little to do with anything else going on in popular music, you have to wonder: how did this happen? Things got off to a horrible start with two young boys from Iceland called VÆB, who were dressed as silver-suited fishermen and did a few high kicks for a painful bit of dance pop called RÓA. Slovenia's Klemen has previously presented Eurovision for his country, so you would think he might know what goes down well. As it turned
