Julia Holterâs Materia was inspired by touring and her past demos (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Julia Holter wanted to play a new song. It was 2024, in between spring and winter tours supporting her spring album Something in the Room She Moves, and she wanted something different for her band to play. The composer and songwriter returned to her demos and played around in Logic until music materialized. âIt wasn't really supposed to be a record in my head at first,â Holter tells The FADER from her Los Angeles home on August 13, 2026. âIt was just that I wanted to make this song. But th
Kelela wants her songs to feel as complex as real life (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Kelelaâs songwriting process can be painstakingly slow. It doesnât help that sometimes, not even she knows what sheâs trying to say. âOftentimes when I'm singing in gibberish over the instrumental, there are word sounds that come out. So I am always deciphering on some level what it is that I'm trying to say,â the D.C.-born artist explains on an August 28 video call from her NYC apartment. âSo I do take a longer time to write lyrics than a lot of people because I'm trying to craft th
Chxrry is the whole show (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Baby's All Right was simply too small. That was my biggest problem as I snaked through the backroom thicketed with fans anxiously awaiting Chxrry. When I interviewed the Canadian singer-songwriter earlier in the summer, U, Me & My Ego had yet to release. Three months out and itâs safe to say Chxrry has launched herself into the center of pop girl conversations thanks to that recordâs shamelessly emotive lyrics and forward-thinking fusion of synthpop, rage, and R&B. Her latest sold-out tour a

Read excerpt
âI always just liked the rapper persona â cars, girls, chains, shit like that,â Judah Weston tells The FADER. âNow that Iâm in it, I really donât like the rapper persona. Itâs not that cool to me.â Judah Weston is a fast-rising rapper from Manhattanâs Lower East Side and the star of a new documentary by The FADER. Alongside his brother and producer IsoKeys, the recent high school graduate has found a path to local stardom through his blunted raps, which might meander around the
The Opener: Sk8star sounds like the future of Atlanta trap music (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Opener is The FADERâs mini-interview series with exciting new artists we think you should know. Sk8star is a true artist, the sort of rapper who never seems totally satisfied with a song until every adlib and 808 is adjusted just so. That deep-rooted musicality was all over his February album Designer Junkie, which enlisted Atlanta legend Richie Souf and his ÃWay buddies for a near-psychedelic trap album that channeled Future, Gotit, and Keed in equal measure. And although heâs less hyp
