Cayden – The Virtual Artist Reimagining Emotional Pop, Drops Debut Single ‘Esperanza'
Rooted in Latin-inspired melodies and moody, atmospheric soundscapes, 'Esperanza' channels the heartbreak of separation experienced by displaced families. Cayden's vocal performance carries themes of loss, longing, and quiet resilience—inviting listeners into a story that feels both otherworldly and deeply human.
But Cayden isn't just here to sing—he's here to spark change. The single anchors a 12-week social impact campaign on TikTok and Instagram, rallying creators, musicians, and nonprofits to amplify stories of survival, hope, and justice. From mass deportations to mental health and climate displacement, the campaign uses storytelling to illuminate shared struggles and inspire collective healing.
Hashtags like #CaydenEsperanza and #HumanNotIllegal will serve as digital threads connecting thousands of user-generated stories around hope.
More than a virtual performer, Cayden represents a new kind of artist one who crosses dimensions and emotional boundaries alike. His voice, enhanced with advanced technology and grounded in live vocal performances, underscores the project's commitment to emotional authenticity. The result? A character who may be virtual, but whose message is undeniably real.
ABOUT THE SONG: 'ESPERANZA'
'Esperanza' – Spanish for hope – is an emotive anthem about separation, survival, and the strength to hold on. From its first haunting note, Cayden's performance channels the heartache of marginalized communities around the world, offering not just recognition, but resonance.
A WORD FROM THE CREATORS
'Cayden isn't just about cutting-edge animation,' says co-creator Elizabeth Daro. 'He's an artist who travels between worlds—real and imagined—to give voice to stories that often go unheard. His mission has always been emotional connection.'

Chelsea Freeman becomes Livvy Dunne's ‘new bestie' in behind-the-scene All-Star Game pics
The 2025 MLB All-Star Game allowed Livvy Dunne and Chelsea Freeman to have their 'Step Brothers' best friends moment. Dunne and Freeman each posted a photo to their respective Instagram Stories of them sharing a smile before Tuesday's game, with Freeman captioning the photo, 'New Bestie,' with two heart emojis. The 22-year-old Dunne, the girlfriend of NL starter Paul Skenes, took her fans behind the scenes of Tuesday's festivities in Atlanta. Advertisement 3 Chelsea Freeman (l) and Livvy Dunne (r). @chelseafreeman5/Instagram The All-Star Game allows the players to bring their families and partners, and at some point she linked up with Freeman, the wife of Dodgers star and World Series MVP Freddie Freeman. And, yes, please remember this photo when Paul Skenes becomes a free agent and the Dodgers — since they seemingly sign everyone — attempt to sign him. Advertisement With Skenes being the Pirates' only representative, it left plenty of time for Dunne and Skenes to mingle with stars from the other teams. Dunne also showcased other scenes from the red carpet and from the game itself. She posted photos of the front and back of her blue dress to her Instagram Story, along with videos of her and Skenes walking and Skenes helping tie her heel. 3 Dunne models her dress. @livvydunne/Instagram Advertisement Dunne also revealed she had field-level seats to watch her boyfriend post a perfect first inning, including a clip from the game-opening strikeout of ex-Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres. 'Welcome to the paul-star game,' she wrote alongside a star. 3 Dunne and Paul Skenes. @livvydunne/Instagram Advertisement She provided a second fawning tweet that featured the camera view of Skenes striking out Tigers outfielder Riley Greene with the caption: 'Boom shakalaka.' In an ironic yet all too familiar twist, the NL team blew the rare run support that Skenes received before securing the walk-off win in the home-run swing-off. Skenes is 4-8 despite posting a 2.01 ERA and having allowed two earned runs or less in 17 of his 20 starts. He is 0-3 with a 1.77 ERA in eight starts since his last win on May 28. The Pirates open the second half at home against the White Sox on Friday.

Does the 4-2-1 Method Actually Deliver? Here's How You Can Structure Your Workouts for Real Results.
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." TIKTOK MIGHT BE entertaining—more than two billion global users can't be all wrong—but it's also one of the greatest compendia of misguided and dangerous fitness advice ever created. After all, it's the birthplace of dry scooping, the land of wildly impractical fitness gear, and the home of workout plans so extreme that they can harm your physical and mental health (we're looking at you, 75 Hard Challenge). But every once in a while, the algorithm surfaces a real, solid fitness trend—a nugget of exercise wisdom so effective that it deserves to go viral. Most recently, that jewel is the 4-2-1 Method. What Is the 4-2-1 Method? The 4-2-1 Method is actually very simple. The trend describes a system for structuring your weekly workouts (i.e., a training split) that is as simple as it is effective. Each week consists of four days of strength training, two days of cardio, and one day of mobility. The program's goal is to maximize muscle building while dialing up fat burning to help you sculpt a fitter, more defined physique as quickly as possible. As much as fitness influencers like to believe they're finding new ways to work out, this type of training split is not new. Trainers and coaches have been using it for decades to maximize gains and performance in their clients and athletes. What makes it fresh and exciting today is its explosion on TikTok, which has presented this structure to the masses with some novel twists to keep things interesting. For a social media platform that typically deals in absurd and harmful fitness trends, the 4-2-1 Method is a pleasant surprise. If you do the math, you'll note that the 4-2-1 Method has you doing something every day of the week, with only a single day designated for recovery/mobility. That means it's tough, and better suited to veterans than newbies—but that shouldn't worry you. If you follow the programming advice in the next section, the 4-2-1 Method can give you consistent gains with enough recovery time to minimize your risk of overtraining. How to Crush the 4-2-1 Method Before we get into the four days of strength training, let's first discuss the two days of cardio. These workouts should skew towards 30 to 40 minutes of low-intensity steady-state (LISS) training (e.g., distance running, rowing, swimming, cycling). Your goal should be to maintain a pace that's challenging, but still conversational for the whole workout (if you can only gasp out a few words at a time, you're going too fast and need to dial it back). If your fitness level is high, you can make one of those cardio sessions HIIT—but start with LISS. This approach will allow you to crank up your calorie furnace and improve your cardiovascular fitness while still allowing you to recover sufficiently between strength workouts to attack them with intensity. That last part is key—your cardio sessions need to break up your strength training. Trying to plow through four straight days of strength workouts followed by two days of cardio will short-shrift your muscular gains. In practice, that means your workout week might look something like this: Monday: Strength Tuesday: Strength Wednesday: Cardio Thursday: Strength Friday: Strength Saturday: Cardio Sunday: Mobility What should you do on your strength days? That's where the fun comes in, because your choices abound. One of our favorite options is a push/pull/legs/total body split, in which you devote one day to pushing exercises, one day to pulling exercises, one day to leg exercises, and a final day to a total body workout. Another strong choice is to alternate between upper body and lower body days. Check out How to Build a Comprehensive Workout Plan for more training split ideas. That brings us to the final element of the 4-2-1 Method: mobility day. This final 'workout' of your week is a workout in name only. You should feel challenged as you run through a series of exercises that push your range of motion and boost your suppleness, but you should not feel like you're 'working out.' In other words, this session should leave you relaxed, rejuvenated, and ready for another week of 4-2-1. These mobility exercises are a great place to start. So is yoga. How to Find the Right Balance for You If a seven-day-a-week fitness plan sounds a bit too intense (because you're bouncing back from an injury or just beginning your fitness journey, for example)—extend it out to eight, nine, or 10 days by weaving in one or two or three days of rest. Indeed, inject as many as you need to feel like you're able to perform at your peak and push your limits during each 4-2-1 cycle. That said, it's also important to push yourself out of your comfort zone. As you become stronger, reach for heavier weights, perform more advanced exercise variations, and generally tweak your routine to constantly challenge yourself. That strategy (known as progressive overload) is the key to consistent gains, fewer plateaus, and your strongest, leanest, fittest body ever.

R&B icon addresses longtime rumor he's not really blind: ‘You know the truth'
Stevie Wonder is hitting back at a prolonged rumor that the music legend can actually see. The 'Superstitious' singer addressed the rumor during his 'Love, Light and Song' U.K. tour stop in Cardiff, Wales. As seen in an Instagram video posted July 10, Wonder addressed the crowd in a light-hearted tone by saying, 'I must say to all of you, something that I was thinking, 'When did I want to let the world know this?' But I wanted to say it right now.' 'You know there have been rumors about me seeing and all that,' he said before a burst of laughter spread through the audience. After explaining how he started to go blind shortly after his birth, the 75-year-old shared how his lack of vision has enriched his life. 'That was a blessing because it's allowed me to see the world in the vision of truth, of sight,' Wonder said. 'See people in the spirit of them, not how they look. Not what color they are, but what color is their spirit?' The longtime rumor that Wonder isn't actually blind has been going on for decades, according to Variety. Lionel Richie joked that he was convinced the 'Fingertips' singer could see in a 2019 interview on 'The Kelly Clarkson Show.' 'I've been spending my whole life with him thinking he can see. I know he can see,' Richie said. 'I went to his house. He says, 'Wanna hear a new song? I've got it in the car. C'mon, go with me.'' Richie said Wonder sat in the driver's seat and started unexpectedly driving back down the driveway. 'And I screamed, 'Stevie! What are you doing?' And he said, 'Ah, got you, didn't I?,'' Richie recalled.
