The road to their new album continues as The Chainsmokers release their second single of the year, “iPad”, today. Written exclusively by Alex and Drew, “iPad” arrives alongside an official video, directed by Kid Studio, that follows Drew throughout New York City as he navigates the multitude of conflicting emotions that follow ending an unhealthy relationship.

“Sometimes you let go just to know where to start,” Drew says. “We wrote this song when I felt like I didn’t have anyone to talk to. It wasn’t that I didn’t have anyone that would listen, but I had reached a level of cognitive dissonance that I felt was unexplainable. I don’t keep a journal so writing this song and the others on this album (and past albums) is my opportunity to organize my thoughts. If you listened to ‘Sick Boy’ you know what I mean. 😉 We feel really lucky we get to do it in song form and that you are willing to listen. It’s helped us a lot, so thank you. The next bit of the story is called ‘iPad’ and it’s out now. Thanks for being here.”

“iPad” follows the release of first single “High”, which marked the end of a two-year break and launched a new musical era for the band. The track has received rabid response by fans, is already Top 20 at Top 40 and HAC Radio, and has received over 55 Million+ audio and video streams combined since release last month.

The band is also set to headline the inaugural Afterparty NFT Art and Music Festival next weekend, which will take place at Las Vegas’ immersive AREA15 venue.

• Precision Medicine: PCF helps identify the right treatment for the right patient at the right time, and may be at the heart of solving the mystery of cancer

Skirting the line between refinement and camp, the unfamiliar forms of Schanck’s chairs, sofas, lighting, and mirrors suggest coral reefs, extraterrestrial worlds, and artifacts from ancient civilizations. These meticulously handcrafted works are produced in his Detroit studio where a community of artists, students, and Bangladeshi craftspeople all make key contributions to a collective practice.

The SpaceX founder was seen arriving in Los Angeles with a new woman almost five months after ending things with singer Grimes, and HollywoodLife has the EXCLUSIVE on who she is.

Does Elon Musk have a new girlfriend? The 50-year-old Tesla CEO was spotted stepping off of a plane with a mysterious new woman on Thursday February 17 in new photos via DailyMail. The pair were each seen deplaning the billionaire’s private jet separately in black coats in Los Angeles. A source close to Elon revealed to HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY that the mystery woman is an actress, expected to be in a highly anticipated biopic this year. 

The source revealed to us that the actress is Australian Natasha Bassett, who is set to star as Dixie LockeElvis Presleys first girlfriend, in the new Elvis biopic, directed by Baz Luhrmann, per IMDb. The movie is expected to hit theaters on June 24, with Austin Butler playing The King, and Tom Hanks playing his manager. While the rock and roll film may be one of her first big films, Natasha has been working hard in the movie and TV industries for over a decade, making her debut in the 2009 TV movie Dungoona. She even played Britney Spears in the 2017 Lifetime biopic about the singer. HollywoodLife has reached out to both Natasha and Elon’s reps for confirmation, but did not immediately hear back. 

If Elon and Natasha have a budding romance, it will be the billionaire’s first relationship since his split with Grimes, 33, in September 2021. The “Shinigami Eyes” singer and entrepreneur broke up after over three years together.  The pair also share a son X Æ A-Xii i, who was born in May 2020. After the couple split, Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, revealed that she was “still living” with Elon in an October Instagram post.
