The Story of 'Honey'
On March 19, 2017, the sixth episode of the sixth and final season of Girls aired for the first time.

A new New York Times profile of Robyn, ahead of next month’s release of her first album in eight years, Honey, spends much of its time exploring the emotional depths of the Swedish pop singer’s music.

Y/N: New Santigold & Dai Burger Tracks Amid Peaches' NSFW Queer Orgy
Y: Santigold’s return is, for her, unorthodox—she doesn’t usually make songs that sound so on the nose with the zeitgeist, although Makonnen is one of the least orthodox zeitgeistical dudes out at the moment. Some of my coworkers have felt troubled by his drunk karaoke vocal tone, but I kinda dig its lazy summer…
Time to Fumble Towards Ecstasy With Robyn's New Track 'Set Me Free'
Robyn, who can bring warmth to anything, is so good in collaboration: the EP she did last year with Royksopp was a miniature master class on genre, with each of the five songs taking Robyn’s deep pop instincts and stretching them through Royksopp’s mathematical abstraction to hit a specific and different point. It was…

Now for a Sound of Music Remix to Lull You to Sleep
The Sound of Music is wonderful and everything, but it’s so sad, especially that whole bit about Baroness Von Schrader being betrayed by her fiancé. I know, I know — stop bringing everyone down.
