Cardi B Made A Chef Seriously Mad On A New Episode Of ‘Cardi Tries’

In December, Cardi B launched a new show on Facebook’s Messenger Watch Together feature, Cardi Tries. The show is easy to figure out based on the title, as it sees Cardi trying out things that are new to her and out of her usual wheelhouse.

She has expert guests on the program to help guide her through these experiences, and given Cardi’s casual, joke-heavy personality, these guests should know what they’re getting into. The focus of the program is on Cardi being a fish out of water and having fun in unfamiliar environments, so it would be fair to assume that she might not follow (or even know) all the rules of whatever she’s doing or take every aspect of it super seriously. That said, a chef got pretty annoyed with her on this week’s new episode.

A post shared by Cardi B (@iamcardib)

Cardi shared a clip from the new installment, in which she tries cooking. In the brief clip, Cardi puts the finishing touches on some sushi she made, and she eats some of it while expressing how proud she is of herself and how tasty her creation is. Chef Vallerie Castillo, who was guiding Cardi through the process, didn’t take that well: Seemingly annoyed, Castillo said in a talking head shot, “I caught her sneaking something. I don’t let staff do it and I can’t believe she did that.”

Cardi doesn’t seem to be too bothered by the chef’s disgust with her kitchen etiquette, though, as Cardi captioned her post, “Chef Val was so mad that I kept eating the food. But what can I say the food taste good.”

There are similar incidents elsewhere in the full episode. At one point, Cardi messes up a sushi roll she made, and when told that the restaurant wouldn’t be able to serve it to their customers, she quickly popped it in her mouth and ate it. Castillo didn’t care for that, as she told the camera, “Cardi’s eating as she’s cooking. I told her not to, but she’s Cardi B, so what am I gonna do, right?” That said, Castillo was impressed by a sushi boat Cardi put together, noting, “Actually, that wasn’t too bad for a beginner.”

Mamas Gun and Brian Jackson shines light on the truth on latest release “DIG!”

Mamas Gun makes a strong comeback with their new single “DIG!.” The track sounds more like a strong statement of intent than just a release. The UK band is known for its smooth blend of blue-eyed soul and traditional black music. They show once again that they can make music that sounds both thoughtful and very new, while still being real, emotional, and sophisticated.

“DIG!” was recorded directly onto analogue tape, and every note has warmth, grit, and soul. The production choice gives the music a rich, natural sound that complements the band’s unique groove. It is a piece of music that makes people slow down, really listen, and experience it rather than hear it.

Adding famous collaborator Brian Jackson, whose vocals, keyboard, and flute give the song a timeless elegance, adds even more depth and magic. Jackson is known for working with artists such as Stevie Wonder, Gil Scott-Heron, Roy Ayers, and Earth, Wind & Fire. His addition makes the song something truly special. His reunion with Andy Platts, the lead singer of Mamas Gun, almost twenty years after they first worked together creatively in New York, gives “DIG!” a very personal touch that can be felt throughout. “DIG!” sets a strong mood based on connection, art, and essence. Mamas Gun not only goes back to their roots but also makes them stronger. This song is heartfelt, timeless, and completely captivating.

Bromsen crafts a suspension between attachment and release in new single “Concendrain”

Bromsen’s latest release, “Concendrain,” is very immersive and lives in the space between control and disintegration. The song smoothly shifts from focused to tired, from connected to free, and captures a complex emotional balance that is both personal and universal.

“Concendrain” starts slowly and carefully, the structure has layers that change over time, so each part can come out on its own without any stress or hurry. As time goes on, electronic textures begin to emerge, giving the music a mood that eventually turns into rock-infused energy. These different sounds don’t clash, they work together to create a track that is alive, fluid, and always changing.

The guitar, voice, and rhythm should all work together on the song. These parts don’t compete for attention; instead, they work together to make a smooth flow that pulls the listener into the song’s emotional depth. The arrangement features vocals that complement complex guitar lines and a steady beat that keeps everything in line.

“Concendrain” is really interesting because it has two sides. The track is about the fight in your head between giving up and pushing through, and between staying focused and giving in to tiredness. Bromsen and Reatsch work together to make something that looks natural and well-made. “Concendrain” doesn’t try to be cool or follow trends. Instead, it gives you a slow experience that you should really pay attention to. “Concendrain” is a powerful and thought-provoking work that sticks with you long after the last note has faded away. It stands out because its structure changes, its atmosphere is rich, and its emotions are strong.
