MARVIN Music News: Travis Scott, Tyla & Vybz Kartel’s “PBT,” Charli XCX’s In the Moment, St. Vincent’s Bowie Reimagining, ROSALÍA’s La Perla, and Ken Carson & Destroy Lonely’s “the acronym”

Travis Scott, Tyla & Vybz Kartel — Global Seduction in the Tokyo-Filmed “PBT” Video

Travis Scott, Tyla, and Vybz Kartel push global pop culture forward with the sultry, Tokyo-filmed video for “PBT.” Neon-lit visuals and cinematic framing transform the release into a mood-driven statement rather than a standard music video. Travis Scott continues to curate culture at scale, turning each release into an event. Tyla radiates effortless star power, further cementing her role as one of pop’s most fluid new forces. Vybz Kartel’s presence adds legacy and weight, underscoring dancehall’s lasting global influence. The result is a borderless collaboration where sound, style, and imagery move in sync.

Charli XCX Enters the Frame With In the Moment

Charli XCX has never been interested in standing still, and her newly released In the Moment trailer proves it. The visual teases a hyper-present version of Charli—self-aware, unfiltered, and vibrating with the tension between control and chaos. It’s less about spectacle and more about immediacy, capturing the pop provocateur exactly where she thrives: in motion, in flux, and fully conscious of her own myth-making. The trailer feels like a thesis statement for Charli’s current era—raw, confrontational, and allergic to nostalgia.

St. Vincent Reimagines David Bowie, Not Imitates Him

Covering David Bowie is a dangerous game, but St. Vincent doesn’t play it safe. Her latest Bowie cover sidesteps imitation entirely, instead channeling his spirit through her own jagged, art-rock lens. The result is reverent without being precious—an interpretation that understands Bowie not as a fixed icon, but as a living idea. Annie Clark bends the song into something sharper, stranger, and unmistakably hers, honoring Bowie the way he likely would’ve preferred: by refusing to stay in the past.

ROSALÍA Unveils La Perla: Precision, Power, and Pure Presence

ROSALÍA’s new La Perla video is minimalist in form but maximalist in impact. Stripped of excess, the visual puts full focus on movement, texture, and emotional precision—each frame deliberate, each gesture weighted. It’s a reminder of ROSALÍA’s rare ability to command attention without spectacle, letting discipline and vulnerability coexist on screen. La Perla doesn’t beg to be decoded; it exists confidently, daring viewers to meet it where it stands.

Ken Carson & Destroy Lonely — Opium Chaos Refined on “the acronym”

Ken Carson and Destroy Lonely continue to solidify Opium’s grip on the underground with “the acronym.” The track leans fully into distortion—blown-out bass, warped textures, and an intentionally abrasive structure that prioritizes energy over accessibility. Ken attacks the beat with reckless urgency, while Destroy Lonely floats through with a detached, melodic cool, creating a tension that defines their chemistry. The song feels engineered for the digital underground rather than traditional industry lanes, reinforcing a sound that thrives on chaos, internet culture, and a rejection of conventional rap formulas.
