Benson Boone sings as if he has something to prove but nothing to say
In pop music, the danger of making yourself memorable is that you must eventually transcend people's memories. For Benson Boone, that means proving he's more than a singing mustache who does backflips. On his new album, 'American Heart,' he tries and tries. These are over-sung pop songs designed to flatter the world with their unyielding sense of effort, resulting in something fizzy, dizzying, occasionally fun and fundamentally shrewd. Before we even get to Boone's voice, it's helpful to know there's such a sharp mind behind that moisturized mustache — a mind that knew quitting 'American Idol' in 2021 would make him appear more interesting than actually winning; a mind that knew it could send ripples across social media every time he performed a flip in concert because no one in this wide world — in all its untamed imagination — had ever bothered to visualize Tom Selleck fronting Bad Brains. Boone's voice is made of elastic and caramel, and he uses it to generate muscly whimpers that sound deeply studied in the acrobatics of Bruno Mars, the roguishness of Olivia Rodrigo and the sogginess of Hozier. Toss some Freddie Mercurial pomp onto the mood board, add a spritz of perspiration from an '80s aerobics class, then shred everything into itty-bits of rainbow confetti and you're pretty much there. It's a voice that refuses to be moderated or confined, which means it sounds absolutely terrific whenever Boone rubs a lyric against the laws of alchemy or metaphysics. During the glammy thump of 'Wanted Man,' he huffs and puffs in the direction of a dancing woman made of 'liquid gold.' On 'Mystical Magical' — a hit single that brings Olivia Newton-John's 'Physical' down to mall-walking tempo — he serves a melting melody in playful falsetto, describing his love as 'moonbeam ice cream.' Fabulous. Two scoops, please. Wait, hold on a second, what does 'moonbeam ice cream' even mean? Oh, nothing at all, according to Boone during a recent interview with the equally pointless Jimmy Fallon. Same goes for Boone's album title and its closing track, 'Young American Heart.' It's a power ballad about 'living in some crazy times,' and how death might not be that bad so long as the love and friendship felt good. In the refrain, Boone roars, 'If I'm gonna die a young American, and this was the final night we'd ever have again, I'd be just fine as long as I'm wherever you are.' Please forgive the fellow survivors of said crazy times for craving something more than complete meaninglessness, here — a disappointment that only deepens once you've seen this album's cover: an image of Boone draping the American flag over his beautifully dirty, sunburned torso. He looks as if he's been rolling around in Pennzoil and Rao's marinara, and for what? All of this messy vapidity makes 'Momma Song' the album's standout. It's an uncharacteristically solemn orchestral number that forces Boone to imagine a future tragedy worthy of his throat's dexterity. In the refrain, the singer invites his mom on a trip down memory lane, asking her to recount her old loves, her old haunts, her favorite songs — because, 'I'm gonna need this when I'm holding pictures of you and that's all that I've got left.' In this tender, confused, bravura moment, Boone's failure to hack his music's fundamental problem ends up being the best reason to keep listening: His life has yet to grow into his voice.

Meet Leighton Meester's New Character In ‘The Buccaneers' Season 2 Trailer As Nan Tries To 'Let Go' Of Guy
The full trailer for Season 2 of Apple TV+'s period drama The Buccaneers has arrived, and it teases more sisterhood, romance, love affairs, bold declarations, bright gowns, breathtaking landscapes and a plot twist or two. The second season welcomes series newcomer Leighton Meester, whose character Nell can be seen at the end of the clip asking Christina Hendricks' Patricia St. George to introduce her to Kristine Frøseth's Nan St. George. More from Deadline 'The Buccaneers' Season 2 Casts Greg Wise, Maria Almeida, Grace Ambrose & Jacob Ifan 'The Buccaneers' Season 2 Sets Apple TV+ Release Date; Reveals First Look At Leighton Meester, Photos & Teaser Clip Zoë Kravitz On Playing A "More Psychotic" Version Of Herself In 'The Studio': "If You Can't Make Fun Of Yourself, I Think There's Something Wrong" 'Theo and I are happy,' Nan says at the beginning of the clip. 'I'm in this for life.' This declaration comes after Nan had to make a difficult decision and marry Theo (Guy Remmers), Duke of Tintagel, so that her flame Guy Thwarte (Matthew Broome) could help Nan's sister Ginny (Imogen Waterhouse) escape from her abusive husband Lord James Seadown (Barney Fishwick). 'Everything before 'I do' is now irrelevant,' Theo's mother, the Dowager Duchess of Tintagel (Amelia Bullmore) tells Nan in the woods, sternly advising Nan to be faithful to her husband. 'All Theo needs to know is that he has a dutiful and loving wife, but Annabel, anyone can be a wife. You are…' 'A Duchess,' Nan completes. 'I really want to make this version of my life work. I have to let Guy go.' The clip features Chappell Roan's 'Good Luck Babe,' continuing the tradition established in Season 1 with a modern soundtrack of mostly women artists. Cue Guy's voiceover perspective as he and Jinny escape somewhere bright and sunny with Jinny's baby. 'Everything has changed except the way I feel,' he says as he looks at the newspaper headlines, which tell him what is happening in Nan's world, advertising her honeymoon with Theo. 'Theo thinks this is real,' Nan tells her mother. 'He thinks I chose to marry him.' 'You did the bravest thing I have ever known,' Patty tells Nan. 'And saved your sister.' Nan fiercely stands up to Lord Seadown both one on one and at a dining table full of guests. 'No man should be allowed to own his wife,' she asserts. Cut to a triumphant walk by Nan in a bright red dress with a bold hairstyle as guests turn heads. 'Happily Ever After' flashes in bright neon blue across the long train of her dress. More musical moments and needle drops in Season 2 will include Taylor Swift, as well as songs from Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter, Gracie Abrams, Clairo, Sharon Van Etten, St. Vincent, Bleachers and The Last Dinner Party. The original soundtrack for season two celebrates the return of executive music producer Stella Mozgawa and features Empress Of's new single 'Little Secret' out today with the trailer along with new music from Suki Waterhouse, Madi Diaz, Holly Humberstone, Kacy Hill, Jade Bird, Emily Kokal of Warpaint and more. The second installment of the show, inspired by Edith Wharton's unfinished novel, also reunites returning stars Alisha Boe, Aubri Ibrag, Josie Totah, Mia Threapleton and more. The Buccaneers returns to Apple TV+ Wednesday, June 18, 2025 with one episode followed by one new episode every Wednesday through August 6, 2025.

Kaia Gerber Braves the Summer Storm in a Foolproof Outfit Formula
There may be no worse occasion to dress for than a summer storm. But yesterday, Kaia Gerber braved the muggy, post-monsoon conditions in an outfit that could withstand New York's flooding subways and also work for dinner at The Odeon. Gerber and a friend stopped by the Tribeca eatery where she wore a black long-sleeve sweater, scrunched to the elbows. On the bottom, she added some contrast, both in color and sense of occasion, with a low-waisted navy mini skirt. (Clearly, we know where Gerber stands on the black and navy debate.) The model and actor paired her thigh-skimming mini with a pair of tall, calf-high black boots, so shiny they rival SpongeBob Squarepants. She finished off her look with a lowkey black baseball cap with red text, silver hoops, and a leather shoulder bag. JosiahW / BACKGRIDUSA Kaia Gerber isn't the only famous fan of mixing ultra-short hemlines with tall boots. Olivia Rodrigo has taken the outfit formula for a spin on multiple occasions recently, first in Sydney, Australia last October, where she wore a dark brown mini skirt with her buttery Frye boots. This summer, she reminded us that the mismatched look fares just as well with shorts, styling a pair of white polka-dot hotpants with black boots. So, if you're feeling stuck with your styling—or need to come up with an outfit that will survive a summer rainstorm, consider trying out the classic miniskirt and knee-high boots combo for an instant boost.
