As we go into about month six of the global pandemic, we’re constantly finding ways to live as “normally” as we can. And if you’re single, that means getting back into that dating game. Luckily for you, Dua Lipa and James Corden have delivered a fun way to remember some of the safety guidelines for dating in pandemic times. And yes, they are as awkward as the guidelines the New York City Department of Health shared in the summer. Premiering on The Late Late Show with James Corden last night (Sept. 17), the lyrics to the pop singer’s “Don’t Start Now” (which SPIN named one of the best songs in 2020) and “New Rules” have been recrafted to not only discuss dating apps and meeting via Zoom but also what you should do when you’re ready to actually meet in person. “You just wish you could go out...
Last week, Phoebe Bridgers dropped her latest record, Punisher, a day early last week to the delight of her fans. Last night, she participated in a round of Carpool Karaoke to talk about the decision to do so. “I just had a couple of people reach out and ask me if I was going to put the record out at all with the political climate or even push it down the line,” she told James Corden on The Late Late Show with James Corden. “And I Just feel subtext of that is waiting for people to forget about Black Lives Matter or waiting for white people to talk about themselves on the internet again, which I find insanely cringey and offensive.” She added, “So I just wanted to put it out and give it to people and connect the charities I really care about, especially Downtown Women’s ...
HAIM Zoomed into The Late Late Show on Thursday night to have a chat with James Corden and perform their new single, “Don’t Wanna”. After awkwardly fawning over the siblings while staring at both his computer and his cellphone, Corden asked the trio who was the worst at handling isolation. Este admitted it was probably her, as she’s gone a little crazy “during Quar.” (And we all shudder together at the “hip” abbreviation.) Apparently, she’s turned a pair of exercise balls into Cast Away-like friends named Ilana and Dunkiel, complete with wigs. Once the brief interview was over, HAIM sat crosslegged on their respective floors or beds to deliever their-first ever performance of “Don’t Wanna”. Much like they did when they played “I Know Alone” on Colbert last month, they e...
James Blake has been spending his time in quarantine perfecting the art of the cover song. In March, the UK crooner took to Instagram Live to perform countless originals by Radiohead, Billie Eilish, and Frank Ocean. He also tackled the Joni Mitchell track “A Case of You”, which he released on his own Enough Thunder EP from 2011. For his remote appearance on the Late Late Show with James Corden on Tuesday, Blake again dusted off that Mitchell cover. Cozied up to a piano in his own sunlit living space, the Grammy winner delicately, softly sang his way through the 1971 single. Elsewhere in last night’s episode, Blake spoke to Corden about his upcoming projects. He said his newest single, “Too Precious”, would likely end up on his next album, though “the rest of the stuff is quite di...
