In the name of the father, the son, and the Weeknd. On Friday, the R&B icon released the video for 'Baptized in Fear,' one of the standouts from his album Hurry Up Tomorrow. The video plays clips of the Weeknd singing the haunting lyrics in front of several cement backdrops that show the star stuck in a sort of purgatory. 'I've been baptized in fear, my dear / Like Paul, I'm the chief of sin,' he sings. 'Washing my soul within.'

Hurry Up Tomorrow is the final project Abel Tesfaye will release as the Weeknd. 'Everything needs to feel like a challenge. And for me right now, the Weeknd, whatever that is, it's been mastered,' Tesfaye told Variety. 'No one's gonna do the Weeknd better than me, and I'm not gonna do it better than what it is right now.

'We Were Liars': Esther McGregor breaks down 'bravest' and 'difficult' scenes with Candice King, Emily Alyn Lind

The most popular show on Prime Video, We Were Liars, is bringing fans to tears with it's devastating and shocking finale. Starring Emily Alyn Lind, Mamie Gummer, Caitlin FitzGerald, Candice King, David Morse, Shubham Maheshwari, Esther McGregor, Joseph Zada and Rahul Kohli, the captivating drama has audiences hooked. We Were Liars really leans into its most emotional moments, with the cast really taking on every twist, turn and wounding moment with conviction. One of those moments that really stands out is between Mirren (Esther McGregor) and her mother Bess (Candice King), after Bess finds out her daughter saw her affair with "Salty Dan," a harbour service worker, and shared that information with The Liars. Specifically, Bess is angry her sister Penny (Caitlin Fitzgerald) has that information and is holding it over her head, preventing her from getting more money from her father to reconcile her debt. In Episode 5 Bess confronts Mirren, destroying all of Mirren's beautiful art. "You are not an artist. You are a dilettante and you're a child," Bess says. "I'm your child," Esther says in response. "I didn't ask for you to waste your life on me. And neither did the twins. You chose to be a mother. ... It's not our fault that you decided to hate it." "It was written very well, first of all, so it was easy to kind of get there," McGregor told Yahoo Canada. "I think that it is a lot of people's narratives to kind of feel shut out as a kid, especially if you've got a young mother, or whatever it is." "I've not necessarily [had that] with my mother, but I've dealt with similar stuff in terms of ... not feeling like I have a place. And I think the courage it takes to say that is really big. ... When she hurts me, ... she hurts my art, and she hurts my art that I made because I was so happy with The Liars, and that was my safe place. And when that fractures, that's big enough to break me. I think Mirren tries to keep it together quite a lot, especially towards her mother. So that was something really interesting ... and I think it's one of her bravest moments in the series. So it's lovely to find that, but really heartbreaking too." By the time we get to the last episode, we see a particularly close bond between Mirren and her cousin Cadence (Emily Alyn Lind), who's spent the season trying to figure out the circumstances of her injury during the summer of her 16th birthday. The conversation in Episode 8 starts with Mirren telling Cadence she wishes she had been kinder to The Littles, but Cadence says Mirren shouldn't have regret, she should be "light as air." Then Mirren starts talking about how she always wanted to be "excellent" at everything, that both she, and her mother, never let themselves me "messy." "I don't think anyone really saw me," Mirren says to Cadence as she starts sobbing. "And now no one ever will." "No, look at me," Cadence says in response. "The Liars saw you Mirren. And I'll see you for the rest of my life." "That moment, that's a difficult one," McGregor said. "It was interesting because that one was I think in the last week of us filming, I think we had like a few days left, so that goodbye felt very real and present." "She was such a guiding light for me, quite motherly towards me, which is really what I needed. Like even if I had my stomach ache, she would set me up with some saltine crackers and my medication. Emily's a very thoughtful person that's very attentive, and I think that definitely blended into our characters and our togetherness." But one satisfying part of the We Were Liars Season 1 ending is that Ed (Rahul Kohli) gets back together with Carrie (Mamie Gummer), after previously leaving following Ed's failed proposal. While Ed and Gat's (Shubham Maheshwari) bond as outsiders to the Sinclairs was compelling to watch, it was also interesting to see how Ed is so important to Carrie's kids, Johnny (Joseph Zada) and Will (Brady Droulis), but is still on the outside of the larger Sinclair family. "That dynamic, it's super relatable," Kohli said. "It's not too dissimilar to my current living circumstances." "I am obviously British born and I live in America, I've been there for 10 years, and some of the people I call my family I still, even at Thanksgiving or across the table, still don't feel 100 per cent a part of that. It's just something that comes with being a fish out of water." But in order for We Were Liars to bring the audience through the peaks and valleys in this thrilling story, the show needed directors who could take on the task. In this case, all five directors, Nzingha Stewart, Julie Plec, Tara Miele, So Yong Kim and Erica Dunton, brilliantly crafted their elements of this intertwining story. "[Nzingha Stewart], who did the very first episode, she set the tone," David Morse, who plays Sinclair family patriarch Harris, said. "She's really excellent with actors and taking time with us as we're discovering things. Especially in that first episode you feel so naked the first time you open your mouth as a character on that first day, and you'd like to know there's somebody there who's there to protect you and help you a little bit. And Nzingha was great with that. ... Towards the end, we had a really terrific director for those really challenging last two episodes. ... And I think we had the right directors at the right time."

"Heavy Sky": Genre-Bending Sci-Fi Novel Launches on Kickstarter

St. John's, Canada June 20, 2025 --( )-- A richly imagined world of floating islands, zeppelins, and ancient secrets is coming to bookshelves this September. Heavy Sky, the first novel in the Stories of Azoria series, is now live on Kickstarter, where its author is seeking support to fund professional editing and launch the book independently. Originally imagined as a game, Azoria's world proved too ambitious to develop at the time. But the idea lived on. After years of sketches, notes, and daydreams, the creator turned to writing to bring the vision to life – resulting in a novel that blends steampunk, dieselpunk, and sci-fi with deep worldbuilding and an ensemble of compelling characters. 'It started as a game concept – too big to build. But the idea stuck with me, and I knew I had to tell the story another way.' - Alex O. Harb Azoria is a vertically layered planet where tribal eagle riders navigate sacred wind currents in the Heights, steam-powered kingdoms clash in the middle altitudes, and an orbital expedition from the Federation monitors the planet from afar. Their lives revolve around a mysterious blue mineral known by many names – heartstone, Rational Element, azurium – which grants anti-gravity properties but decays over time. In Heavy Sky, a series of events – from a decaying home islet to a devastating aerial attack and a political crisis aboard a starship – pull characters from across these layers into a chain of revelations that challenge their understanding of the world. The novel is accompanied by four standalone short stories, already available on Amazon and Google Play Books, which explore earlier eras and side characters: - Resonance of Silence: a wry story of adaptation in a society built around silence. - The Plan of Darkness: a dark tale of ambition and a voice that changes everything. - Reader of the Wind: a bittersweet coming-of-age story set in the eagle-rider tribes. - Rational Element: the story of Azoria's first settlers and the dream that shaped their future. The Kickstarter campaign includes digital, paperback, hardcover, and audiobook editions, along with stretch goals like a collector's box and illustrated extras. Without a publisher or agent, the author is using Kickstarter to connect directly with readers and fund professional editing for the 120,000-word novel. The campaign will also help produce a short story collection and optional hardcover editions. In addition, 20% of all funds will be donated to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). With more than 15 years of experience in game development, the author, known under pen name Alex O. Harb, brings an eye for immersive world design and character-driven storytelling to fiction. Heavy Sky is their debut novel and the first entry in a planned four-book cycle set in the world of Azoria. Kickstarter Campaign: Author's page on Amazon: Contact Information: Alex O.
