D’Angelo officially released his meditative new song, “Unshaken,” which appears on the soundtrack of Rockstar video game Red Dead Redemption 2. The track, now available on streaming services, marks the soul singer’s first release since his third LP, 2014’s Black Messiah.

After her wildly impressive 2016 mixtape Telefone, Chicago-based slam poet/rapper, Noname (aka Fatimah Warner) has released her highly anticipated debut LP, Room 25—and it’s everything we’ve been hoping for. The record (which Warner funded and released independently) feels effortlessly laid-back as it bounces from intimate and evocative, to minimal to infectious, groovy, seductive and soulful. Her flow is polished yet nuanced, and the entire album is quite mesmerizing—from the first few seconds onward.

Andrew Mayer Cohen, better known by his stage name Mayer Hawthorne, is a Grammy-nominated American singer, producer, songwriter, arranger, audio engineer, DJ, and multi-instrumentalist based in Los Angeles, California. Cohen also performs and records in the groups Tuxedo and Jaded Incorporated.

一部1997年在美国影坛受到好评，并扬名欧美的杰出枪战片，根据美国畅销小说家埃尔莫尔．伦纳德的小说《神奇之力》改编而成。导演是拥有众多影迷和祟拜者的昆丁．塔伦蒂诺，他曾执导过《水库狗》、《黑色通辑令》。女主角杰基．布朗由好莱坞黑人女红星帕姆．格瑞尔担当，另外剧中还有一大批明星。布朗是一名为黑社会效力的漂亮的空中小姐，在错综复杂的黑社会斗争中她巧妙地保全了自己的生命，并将穷凶极恶且想致她于死地的上司送上了法庭。在这斗争中还交杂着她奇特浪漫的爱情，整个故事惊险剌激，一气呵成。
在诸多电影中客串了一气，担任露面十分钟后即遭击毙的角色多个之后，好莱坞怪才昆汀·塔伦蒂诺又拍出了他的新片《危险关系》。
与以往一样，故事仍由暴力开头，暴力结尾，讲述了一名小有不轨的黑人女性杰基·布朗在遭黑社会追杀之下，以沉着和不动声色的手段加以反击的故事。
故事节奏缓慢，光线阴暗，画面感强烈而压抑，是塔伦蒂诺影片中最闷最具冗长感的一部。若耐下心来观赏，到结尾时会体验到一种奇特而悠长的回味，发现在不知不觉间已被完全地带入电影，陷进了那个令人呼吸都缓慢迟滞的空气氛围，而电影结束，亦会感到与主人公同样的解脱和释放感。但是对于塔伦蒂诺来说，这仍是一种冒险的行为，喜欢他节奏鲜明，佻达混球气质的影迷也许会对《Jakie Brown》失望，而真正能捱过一部电影的半部，少之又少。加上罗里罗嗦的台词，更使人厌烦不已。毕竟，塔伦蒂诺之所以为众人所推崇追逐，就是因为他是那个《落水狗》、《黑色小说》里的塔伦蒂诺。缓慢，已经并非今日年轻观众的喜好。
