THE BUZZ
Sweet weekly pop culture buzz.
Noah Cyrus released her song July on the month's very last day, July 31. Perhaps the song is a farewell to the summer month and all she endured during this time. In addition, the piece embodies her country roots. Just as the song's release date, the singer relays lyrics that indicate her relationship is facing its bitter end, and she faces immense difficulty moving on from it.
Just in time for Wimbledon, the tennis-inspired brand Lacoste has collaborated with Tyler, the Creator's line GOLF le FLEUR *, cleverly naming the collection GOLF le COSTE. The designs and marketing stay true to both brands--classic and comfortable. The unisex pieces channel a vintage aesthetic through cut and usage of pastels. Each piece is topped with the merged logo, fusing the iconic Lacoste crocodile with the GOLF le FLEUR* flower. The collection will soon be available on the Lacoste website and select boutiques.

Lady Gaga is more than a singer with performances and iconic looks from McQueen to Mugler, which propelled her career to the top. Due to the recent opening of Haus of Gaga Las Vegas, curated by Nicola Formichetti, viewers can immerse themselves in some of the most memorable pop culture moments.
Tyler, the Creator released his new album, IGOR. The thirty-nine-minute album features collaborations with countless artists. Unfortunately, however, the names of these start-studded collaborations remain absent from the album credits. Instead, Tyler challenges fans to identify their voices in his new tracks.
FKA Twigs’ newly released track Cellophane brings a new meaning to strip. Cellophane’s music video features the artist in mythical apparel, moving along the pole, customarily used by strippers. The music video counters the stigma associated with pole dancing, showcasing it as an elegant and artistic dance form. Additionally, the video exudes femininity and strength, apparent within the artist herself. Twigs also includes an additional dimension to the song by releasing a striped rendition of the track, which features a live performance solely accompanied by her piano and cellist.
In Billie Eilish's album, WHEN WE FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?, she cleverly links her song, my strange addiction, with her apparent strange addiction, The Office. The song features various clips from the iconic episode where Michael Scott shows his employees the film he created, Threat Level Midnight. The show's actor Rainn Wilson puts Eilish's dedication to the test, asking her The Office-inspired trivia.
When I Get Home, Solange's album is consistent with her alternative sound, countering traditional pop music. Solange, however, brings us back to a familiar time with her music video for one of the tracks, Binz. Solange clicks open to Photobooth and prances around to her song, as any of us would do back in the early 2000s.
Miley has risen to the top of our radar with the release of her new EP, SHE IS COMING. The most popular song on the album is Mother's Daughter, a track centered around women's empowerment. Her message is vital as recent abortion bans sweep the U.S. and remain throughout the world. Consistent with the album's message, Miley and Marc Jacobs team up, collaborating on a sweatshirt with the pop star's face and the lyrics "don't f*ck with my freedom" from Mother's Daughter. The two stated that all proceeds will be donated to Planned Parenthood.
