Blue Ivy Narrates The Audiobook Version Of Matthew Cherry’s ‘Hair Love’

Beyonce and Jay-Z’s daughter Blue Ivy Carter is adding another credit to her name at just eight years old. However, unlike her appearances on “Glory” and “Brown Skin Girl,” she’s using her voice in a different way on the audiobook to former NFL player Matthew A. Cherry’s Oscar Hair Love. Blue narrates the popular children’s book, which details a father’s struggle to style his young daughter’s hair. Cherry wrote the book as an adaptation of his Oscar-winning 2019 short film by the same name which was shown ahead of The Angry Birds Movie 2. Earlier this year, HBO Max ordered a 12-episode animated series based on the short.

Given her parents, Blue Ivy was considered “the most famous baby in the world” at her birth, with Jay-Z incorporating her baby noises — gurgling and crying — into his single “Glory” celebrating her birth. More recently, Beyonce featured her daughter on the 2019 single “Brown Skin Girl,” as well as the music video and many of her other videos such as “Formation,” “Bigger,” and “My Power.” Blue has numerous cameos in Beyonce’s Black Is King film and in Jay-Z’s “Family Feud” video in 2017.

Fans were naturally excited about the news, sharing exuberant reactions in response and ensuring that Blue’s latest will be another big hit. Check out Hair Love on Audible.

“the wash” by SUUNCAAT turns an ordinary chore into a surreal journey through time

SUUNCAAT

SUUNCAAT’s new single “the wash” dives into new depths of one of life’s most common routines. The track turns the weekly chore of laundry into a surreal setting where time, identity, repetition, and the odd details of daily life start to bleed into each other. It’s a bright, complexly melodic song that makes you return to moments they might otherwise have skipped.

“the wash” is built on the dance of repetition and time. The routine might be the same week after week, but the person living it is constantly changing. That tension gives the single an interesting emotional depth. It’s a familiar act, returning to the same task, and it reminds us that time moves on, even when life can seem as though it has stopped.

The tune is complex enough to support its unconventional point of view musically. “the wash” isn’t simply about washing clothes, but a larger statement about mundane moments signaling a personal shift. The music is full of a sense of discovery that begs listeners to find their own meaning in the repetition.

SUUNCAAT’s new single shows that even a weekly chore can be a way to learn about ourselves and how fast time goes by.

“Sing-Along Songs (Album Version)” finds new energy for Arn-Identified Flying Objects and Alien Friends

Arn-Identified Flying Objects and Alien Friends

Arn-Identified Flying Objects And Alien Friends returns to “Sing-Along Songs (Album Version),” with an album version more consistent with the track’s original creative vision. The song came out in 2024 and featured an unusual mix of upbeat music and ironic lyrics that contextualized dark times.

This new version keeps that distinction but makes the arrangement a little spikier, punkier, and more playful. It blends indie pop and pop punk, fusing punk and power pop with a dash of folk rock. The more upbeat music works especially well against the darker outlook at the heart of the writing, creating a tension that keeps the track interesting rather than too serious.

The most obvious change is the intro, which now feels more in line with the original direction the song was meant to take. Co-producer David Myhr’s background vocals add some lift to the second and third choruses. Another key revision is the updated production.

The different parts of the track have more room to play off each other, with a stronger cohesive overall presentation and a more consistent, clear mix from beginning to end. “Sing-Along Songs (Album Version)” feels like a deliberate refinement, and Arn-Identified Flying Objects and Alien Friends take the new version and grind the song’s contrasting moods for a more polished, playful take on an already upbeat tune.
