Shattering the dance floor
American rapper and producer Tyler the Creator's new album Don't Tap the Glass released this week. The 10-track creation was first teased during a concert the artist held on July 18, in which an art installation was displayed outside the venue, featuring a figure enclosed in a clear box, with the title written on the front. The day after, the website went live, promoting the album and selling merchandise. The night before the release, the artist hosted an album-listening party titled 'Don't Come If You Aren't Going to Dance', which did not allow phones or cameras in. On his social media, Tyler shared a statement expressing his feelings reflecting on the party, stating how freeing it felt to see 300 people gathered to have a good time without shame or worry. 'I asked some friends why they don't dance in public and some said because of the fear of being filmed. I thought damn, a natural form of expression and a certain connection they have with music is now a ghost,' Tyler said, explaining the inspiration for the hosted party. 'I just got back from a listening party for this album and man it was one of the greatest nights of my life. Everyone was dancing, moving, expressing, sweating, it was truly beautiful,' he said. 'This album was not made for sitting still. Dancing, driving, running, any type of movement is recommended to maybe understand the spirit of it, only at full volume,' he added.

Monday Drop! Tyler, the Creator's New Album ‘Don't Tap the Glass' Gets Surprise Release Date
Great news for Tyler fans! Tyler the Creator's new album has officially been announced. The album is titled Don't Tap the Glass and is set to drop on Monday, July 21. The announcement generated considerable buzz following a week of subliminal messages from the rapper. Source: Rodin Eckenroth / Getty According to The Hollywood Reporter , the news broke in characteristic Tyler fashion: during a performance at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, on Friday night. The rapper directly announced the album title to the audience, creating immediate excitement. Further solidifying the announcement, an installation designed to recreate the album's cover, prominently featuring its title, was also displayed. The news was then officially confirmed by Tyler himself via an Instagram post on Saturday morning, which included the release date for Tyler the Creator's new album. 'Don't Tap the Glass' will be Tyler's ninth studio album. Its release comes less than a year after his previous project, Chromakopia , which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in October 2024. Chromakopia had a number of high-profile features, including Lil Wayne, Sexyy Red, Daniel Caesar, Doechii, GloRilla, LaToiya Williams, Lola Young, Santigold, Schoolboy Q, and Teezo Touchdown. Notably, Chromakopia was also released on a Monday, going against the industry's standard midnight Friday drop. This means Don't Tap the Glass , released through Columbia Records, will be his second project to deviate from the traditional release rollout. Tyler has a distinct philosophy behind his preference for early-week releases. In a 2023 interview with Nardwuar, he provided insight into his reasoning. 'I think we should put music out again on Tuesdays instead of Fridays, for some reasons,' he explained. 'My reasoning is, I know people think because of the weekend, they can listen to stuff, and the streams go up. And the streaming people are like, 'Oh, the streams go up on the weekend!' But I think it's a lot of passive listening, at parties or people get the time to go to the gym, so they're not really listening.' 'To work on an album for so long and put so much energy into it and for it to be released at midnight…just seems so disrespectful,' he added. Elsewhere in the interview, the rapper also discusses his frustration with finding places to seriously discuss his work. 'We need to get back to talking about music,' Tyler said. 'We need to stop f***ing going sneaker shopping or f***ing deepthroating hot wings for an hour. Talk about your album, talk about music.' Beyond his prolific and critically acclaimed music career, Tyler is also making significant strides in the film industry. Earlier this year, he completed filming on Josh Safdie's highly anticipated movie, 'Marty Supreme,' according to The Hollywood Reporter. The film features a star-studded cast, including Timothée Chalamet and Gwyneth Paltrow, and is scheduled for release by A24 on Christmas Day 2025. This project will mark Tyler's feature film acting debut, adding a new dimension to his already diverse portfolio as a Grammy-winning artist, producer, fashion designer, and creative director.

Governors Ball 2025: the Ultimate Dining Guide to the NYC Music Festival
One of New York City's biggest music festivals, the Governors Ball (aka Gov Ball), is back soon, with three days filled with concerts, dancing, and general merriment. The 15th edition takes place in Queens at Flushing Meadows Corona Park from Friday, June 6 through Sunday, June 8, with headliners like pop star Olivia Rodrigo, rapper Tyler the Creator, and Irish singer-songwriter Hozier. What's nice about the Governors Ball's food lineup is that there are a bunch of familiar New York restaurants and vendors, some sourced straight from the neighboring Queens Night Market (which will be taking place on Saturday, June 7, so you can check it out at the same time). To help make dining at Governors Ball easier, Eater put together this handy guide on what and where to eat during the music festival. General Governors Ball Festival Tips We all know this, right? No outside food or drinks are allowed inside the grounds. It's an outdoor event — wear comfortable shoes! It looks like temperatures will be in the low 80s on Friday and 70s the other two days during the daytime, with drops to the 60s in the evenings. So wear sunscreen — only small containers with creams, lotions, and sticks creams are allowed; drink lots of water (you can bring in plastic and metal bottles because there are water stations); and bring a layer like a cardigan or a light jacket for when it gets chillier. Currently, there are chances of rain this weekend — 47 percent on Saturday and 40 percent on Sunday — but umbrellas aren't allowed. Little bags are fine, but bigger bags need to be clear; double-check your measurements. No cash is accepted. The festival grounds, near the beautiful Unisphere, feature five food courts for general admission ticket holders, which mostly centered in the northeast sections of the grounds. For lunch: Twisted Potato: Okay, so the Queens Night Market vendor's namesake dish is a food festival gimmick, but that's because it's fun and good. Seasonings include ketchup, Buffalo, salt-and-vinegar, and Parmesan garlic. Located at food court no. 2 in the northeast area Matylda's Polish Food: The Queens Night Market vendor is thankfully slinging pierogi. Mix and match vegetarian fillings like potato-cheddar, potato-onions, potato-jalapeños, sauerkraut-mushrooms, and spinach-farmers cheese. For people seeking meat, the stand also has Polish kielbasa. For a touch of sharpness, add a half-sour pickle. Located at food court no. 2 in the northeast area Walter's Hot Dogs: Some of New York's best hot dogs come from this Westchester shop, which will roll down its food truck to Queens for the festival. The food truck is offering its hot dogs, available in singles, doubles, veggie, and the Big Walt (a 'thicker, longer' frank). Bypass the straight-up chili — come on, you're at a music festival — for chili cheese fries. Located at food court no. 5 near the eastern area; and no. 7 in the VIP section next to the Kiehl's stage Eemas Cuisine: Find really fun musubi at this Hawaiian and Filipino stand, which is also a Queens Night Market staple. There's the OG Spam with a grilled slice of the canned pork, and a spicy imitation crab salad version. Larger plates include coconut shrimp or barbecue chicken, with sauces, seasoned rice, and macaroni salad, or the pancit, stir-fried noodles and vegetables. Think of it as a way of paying homage to Olivia Rodrigo's Filipino heritage. Located at food court no. 2 in the northeast area Charles Pan-Fried Chicken: Eater had called Charles Gabriel a 'fried chicken king' before for good reason: Through his Harlem restaurant, he skillet-fries chicken into crunchy, juicy poultry. This menu centers on wings, available pan-fried or jerk, accompanied by mac and cheese, yams, or collard greens. Located at food court no. 4 near the western area Gotham Burger Social Club: Yes, smash burgers are everywhere (even at this festival), and this Lower East Side/Greenpoint burger joint serves up a really great rendition. There's the namesake Gotham Smash, a classic smash burger with grilled onions, American cheese, pickles, jalapeño, club sauce, ketchup, and mustard. For vegetarians, there's the Veg'N-Out. Located at food court no. 3 in the northeast area For desserts: Fan Fan Doughnuts: The Bed-Stuy doughnut shop creates perfect doughnuts that are available at the festival. There are classics like Mexican cinnamon sugar and the Danny Boy (salted brown butter caramel). Special flavors include churros-and-chocolate, Pretzel Party (salted caramel glaze with crushed pretzels), and mango pomegranate. Located at food court no. 1 in the northeast area La Newyorkina: Fan Fan founder Fany Gerson is also behind this New York City paleta stand. There are fruit paletas and creamy dairy-based ones. Then there's the chamoyada, a Mexican fruit slushie with chamoy, Taijin, and a spicy tamarind stick. Location TBA What to drink during Governors Ball Lemonades: Plenty of the festival's food vendors are touting lemonades, from Cafe Habana to Destination Dumplings. Coffee: The Doughnuttery is offering flavored cold brews. Juices: John's Juice is churning out pineapple, watermelon, and coconut drinks served in their shells. Plus, there are refills. Boba: Tea and Milk will have drinks like strawberry matcha lattes, milk teas, and Arnold Palmers with boba add-ons. Mixed alcoholic drinks: For boozy purposes, check out mezcal cocktails at 400 Conejos, margaritas and palomas at Espolòn, and others. Beer: Find brews by Kona Big Wave and Stella Artois.
