The FADER

@RochelleJordan ladida’d her way to our latest FADER Cover 🎶 With talents that precede her, the British-Jamaican innovator details her slow burn journey, reflecting on her most recent project, ‘Through the Wall,’ her lifelong battle with sickle cell anemia, and the "divine timing" that finally brought her music to a global stage. After over a decade of being the industry’s best-kept secret, she’s ready to step out from behind the wall and into her own light. “I know that there's a lot in front of me and there's a lot behind me, and I think what I've learned from the journey is that surrendering is the only thing, and the best thing, you can do.”

Akinola Davies Jr.'s 'My Father’s Shadow' is a haunting, essential look at identity. On the surface, the 90-minute film is about a father, who brings his two sons on a day trip to Lagos. But the semi-autobiographical film, is a portrait of how a single day can hold a lifetime." Many of the scenes play out like warm childhood memories: defined by emotion, and not always clear until adulthood adds in some much-needed context. It's now streaming on @mubiusa.

I wrote a feature on Quiet Light for @thefader's GEN F series. Her music is strange, spacious and filled with feeling, and was written after long shifts at a hospital. A really interesting musician who is truly sticking to her guns. thefader.com/2026/04/21/qui…

Sarah Paulson remembers being on set w Rihanna for 'Oceans 8:' "I was always freestyling, trying to come up with songs that I thought could be her next No. 1. She would look at me like, 'You can’t sing. Your lyrics aren’t bad, but what you’re doing vocally is upsetting.'" (Via: @wmag)

Kehlani has revealed the tracklist to her upcoming self-titled album, out Friday.

Quiet Light on life as a med student inspiring her music: "My music has emerged from a state of sort of dreaming. In the hospital, sometimes that is necessary. There's a lot of healing, as well as death. Sometimes you have to believe everything will be okay and that there's, you know, heaven." Full story: thefader.com/2026/04/21/qui…

Quiet Light on balancing being a musician while living a full life: "I feel so intensely about music that if I let it drive my entire life, I would really alienate a lot of my friends and family, and the structures in my life that keep me going, I'm trying to avoid, like, self-destruction."
