MARVIN Music News: MGK & Jonas Brothers Collide, Radiohead Breaks Records, Madonna Opens the Vault, and Stray Kids Keep “DO IT” Spinning

MGK & Jonas Brothers Spark a Pop-Rock Collision on “cliché (Remix)”

MGK and the Jonas Brothers surprised listeners this week with a rework of MGK’s Lost Americana standout cliché. The remix keeps MGK’s raw pop-rock bite intact while the JoBros add a layer of polished harmonies and glossy, radio-ready lift. The result is a hybrid that’s built for repeat plays — edgy, bright, and undeniably catchy.

What makes it stand out is how natural it feels: two corners of mainstream pop that rarely overlap somehow collide perfectly. MGK is coming off a high-energy tour run, the Jonas Brothers are deep into a year of experimental collaborations, and together they’ve created a remix that feels like the unexpected highlight of both of their 2025s. Already, it’s making waves across streaming platforms and giving new life to one of MGK’s most streamed singles of the year.

London’s The O2 has a new record-holder. Radiohead’s four-night run on November 21, 22, 24, and 25 drew packed crowds, culminating in 22,355 fans on the final night — the highest attendance in the arena’s history.

For a band that hasn’t toured intensively in years, it’s a testament to their enduring pull. Critics and fans alike describe the shows as meticulous, controlled, and quietly commanding — a reminder that Radiohead doesn’t need spectacle to make an impact. These weren’t comeback shows; they were proof that Radiohead still has the power to own a stage and dominate a cultural moment with subtle precision.

Madonna Reopens an Era With Bedtime Stories: The Untold Chapter

Madonna closed out the week with Bedtime Stories: The Untold Chapter, an eight-track archival EP released November 28. The collection digs into her 1994 classic, bringing demos, alternate edits, and rare mixes to light — offering a window into the R&B-inflected evolution of her mid-’90s sound.

The release is more than digital nostalgia. Physical editions include a black-vinyl EP with postcards, a two-disc deluxe set pairing the original album with the new material, and a silver-vinyl reissue. As she prepares her next dance-era reinvention, The Untold Chapter serves as both a retrospective and a strategic reset — a reminder of how Madonna has consistently built, deconstructed, and reimagined pop over decades.

Stray Kids Amplify Their Comeback With “DO IT” Remix Explosion

Stray Kids kept the pedal to the metal this week. Following the release of SKZ IT TAPE “DO IT”, the group dropped DO IT (Remixes) on November 24, featuring six reimagined versions of the title track. Highlights include the club-ready “Overdrive Ver.” and the tension-charged “Turbo Ver.” alongside sped-up, slowed-down, and instrumental variations.

The rapid-fire rollout is a quintessential SKZ strategy: strike hard, then broaden the impact. Each remix offers a new energy level, keeping the conversation alive across streaming platforms while giving fans multiple ways to experience the track. Between the mixtape and the remixes, Stray Kids have engineered a multi-tiered global comeback that’s about endurance as much as it is about impact.
