Epic Eli Returns with Emotionally Charged Single ‘Blindfold'
Independent hip-hop artist and genre-blurring storyteller Epic Eli is back with 'Blindfold,' a deeply personal and reflective new single arriving August 1st on all major streaming platforms. Stripped-back yet impactful, 'Blindfold' trades heavy synths for vulnerability, beginning with raw acoustic guitar chords before gradually building into a moody, modern trap beat — a sonic metaphor for the emotional unraveling that unfolds in the lyrics. 'Blindfold' explores the disillusionment that follows emotional disconnect — the moment you realize someone never truly saw you. What begins with warm, intimate guitar strumming soon gives way to sharp, spacious trap percussion, setting the stage for Epic Eli's introspective bars and emotionally raw delivery. His voice weaves with calm clarity, marrying poetic depth with casual honesty. 'This one is quiet at first — like when you're sitting in your own thoughts, processing everything,' says Eli. 'Then the beat hits, and it's like that moment when the emotions flood in and you finally speak your truth.' The hook, 'You never saw me, you was blindfold,' lands with haunting simplicity. It's a line that speaks volumes — about being overlooked, misunderstood, or emotionally disregarded — while echoing a relatable and universal pain. The second verse, sharp and confident, flips the narrative from heartbreak to self-possession, with lines like 'No textin' you up, I'm the man again' serving as an understated but powerful resolution. 'Blindfold' follows Eli's 2024 EP Divine Timing II, which was spotlighted by Clash Music, Earmilk, and FLEX Music as a 'soulful leap forward' and a 'candid' reflection on growth, relationships, and spiritual timing. With 'Blindfold,' Eli takes a more minimalist production approach — one that allows his lyrics and delivery to shine front and center. Where Divine Timing II painted broad emotional and philosophical landscapes, 'Blindfold' zooms in on one specific turning point — that sobering moment when the illusion of connection breaks and clarity sets in. The result is a track that's deeply personal yet widely relatable, marked by intentional storytelling and polished vulnerability. With over a million streams across platforms, a growing global fanbase, and praise from respected indie music press, Epic Eli continues to establish himself as one of hip-hop's most thoughtful emerging voices. His music blends the poetic and the personal, the alternative and the classic, all while carving out a unique sound that resonates beyond trends. Fans of artists like Isaiah Rashad, Mac Miller, Mick Jenkins, or Saba will find a familiar honesty in Eli's lyrics — but 'Blindfold' offers something that's purely his: acoustic soul wrapped in trap grit, anchored by self-awareness and narrative depth.

Sarah Jessica Parker announces emotional and poetic end to ‘And Just Like That…'
Sarah Parker stars as Carrie Bradshaw in 'And Just Like That…' The 'Sex and the City' franchise is ending after more than 25 years, with the conclusion of the third and now final season of its spinoff 'And Just Like That…,' star Sarah Jessica Parker and showrunner, writer and director Michael Patrick King announced Aug. 1. (Craig Blankenhorn/HBO via CNN Newsource) We couldn't help but wonder: did Carrie Bradshaw break up with us or did we break up with her? The 'Sex and the City' franchise is ending after more than 25 years, with the conclusion of the third and now final season of its spinoff 'And Just Like That…,' star Sarah Jessica Parker and showrunner, writer and director Michael Patrick King announced Friday. 'And just like that… the ongoing storytelling of the 'Sex And The City' universe is coming to an end,' King wrote in a statement posted on the show's Instagram account. 'While I was writing the last episode of 'And Just Like That…' season 3, it became clear to me that this might be a wonderful place to stop.' According to King, the decision to sunset the series was made with the show's star and executive producer Parker, along with chief executive officer of HBO Casey Bloys and Sarah Aubrey, who is head of original programming. (HBO and HBO Max are owned by CNN's parent company.) Parker posted a lengthy and poetic goodbye on social media to the series and central character Carrie, who she first started playing in 1998 when original series 'Sex and the City' premiered on HBO. 'Carrie Bradshaw has dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years. I think I have loved her most of all. I know others have loved her just as I have. Been frustrated, condemned and rooted for her,' she wrote in part. 'MPK and I together recognized, as we have in the past, this chapter complete. AJLT was all joy, adventure, the greatest kind of hard work alongside the most extraordinary talent of 380 that includes all the brilliant actors who joined us.' 'And Just Like That…' was the most recent iteration of 'Sex and the City,' a beloved and sometimes polarizing franchise which included the Emmy-winning first series that ended in 2004, and also had two feature films that followed. Parker's post included a carousel of images from the whole run of the franchise, featuring core characters Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) and Charlotte (Kristin Davis), along with Samantha (Kim Cattrall) from the first series and movies (and a brief cameo in Season 2 of 'AJLT'). The images also showed Carrie with Stanford (the late Willie Garson), Mr. Big (Chris Noth) and Aidan (John Corbett), as well as 'AJLT' additions Seema (Sarita Choudhury) and LTW (Ari Nicole Parker), who Parker called out as two 'most divine new connections.' In his post, King said that he and Parker 'held off announcing the news until now because we didn't want the word 'final' to overshadow the fun of watching the season.' The series will conclude over the next two Thursdays with a two-part finale.

After winning the Polaris Music Prize, Debby Friday bet on herself
When Debby Friday first joined Q 's Tom Power for an interview in 2023, her debut album, Good Luck, didn't just shake up the music scene, it shot her straight into the spotlight. That album ended up winning the Polaris Music Prize, which brought Friday a lot more attention and tons of new fans. But when she sat down to write her latest record, The Starrr Of The Queen Of Life, she made a conscious decision to do things differently. Instead of leaning into the experimental sound she had become known for, she wanted to make a more pop-influenced record. "I have made experimental work pretty much the majority of my career," she says. "That's like my bread and butter. But what I wanted to do was figure out a way to kind of, I would say, bridge the gap between experimental and then also accessible…. I was like, 'What would a Debby Friday pop song sound like?'" WATCH | Debby Friday's full interview with Tom Power: Besides making her music sound catchy, Friday found that the biggest challenge of writing a pop song was that it required her to tap into her vulnerable side. "I think a lot of people, when they meet me through my music, they see the hard side, the rougher side, the side that's more like this powerful — can I say bitch? — this powerful bitch," she tells Power. "But that side, I think, came up more as a self-defense mechanism that I developed earlier on in my life." After winning the Polaris Music Prize, Friday made the decision to be self-managed so she could have complete control over her creative vision. She wrote the song Bet On Me about taking that leap. "Something that is really important to me is just being true to myself and being true to my vision," she says. " I have a very strong vision. I know exactly what I want to get out of this career. And a big part of that is this honesty — honesty and clarity in self-expression, and that's not always going to look like what other people's ideas are." WATCH | Official video for Bet On Me:
