MARVIN Music News: Harry Styles Reopens His Last Tour Era on YouTube, Chance the Rapper & Jeremih Finally Release Secret Santa, and Bon Iver, Gracie Abrams & Aaron Dessner Share “Sold Out” for Everytown

Harry Styles Posts Surprise Tour Performance Video to YouTube

Harry Styles quietly returned to YouTube this week with a surprise video pulled from his previous tour, offering fans an unannounced performance clip with no accompanying statement or promotional framing. There’s no new song attached—just a document of the stage presence that defined his last live era, resurfacing on his own terms.

The upload functions less as a teaser and more as a reflection, capturing the scale, intimacy, and emotional weight of Styles’ recent touring run. In an industry that often uses archival footage as marketing fodder, this release reads differently—closer to a personal artifact than a commercial move. By revisiting the live experience without contextualizing what comes next, Styles keeps the focus on performance, memory, and the lasting imprint of his last chapter.

Chance the Rapper and Jeremih Finally Deliver Secret Santa EP

After years of anticipation and fan speculation, Chance the Rapper and Jeremih officially released Secret Santa this week, formalizing a collaboration that has long felt inevitable. Rooted in their shared Chicago lineage, the EP arrives as both a celebration of history and a reminder of how naturally the two artists operate together.

The project blends smooth, understated production with reflective songwriting, leaning into themes of generosity, gratitude, and connection. Jeremih’s melodic ease anchors the sound, while Chance’s verses feel measured and sincere, prioritizing intention over excess. Framed as a holiday release but extending well beyond seasonal listening, Secret Santa feels grounded, familiar, and quietly purposeful—less about spectacle and more about creative continuity.

Bon Iver, Gracie Abrams, and Aaron Dessner Release “Sold Out” for Everytown

Bon Iver, Gracie Abrams, and The National’s Aaron Dessner came together this week for “Sold Out,” a new collaborative release benefiting the gun violence prevention organization Everytown. The track aligns three artists whose work consistently favors emotional precision, restraint, and atmosphere, now paired with a clear philanthropic mission.

“Sold Out” unfolds through sparse instrumentation and carefully layered textures, giving space for Abrams’ intimate delivery to intersect with Justin Vernon’s textured vocals. Dessner’s production remains deliberately unobtrusive, allowing the song’s emotional weight—and its message—to carry without overt dramatics. The collaboration stands as a reminder of music’s capacity to operate as both art and action, channeling quiet intensity toward tangible impact.
