On today's Arts24 music show, Jennifer Ben Brahim brings us a roundup of upcoming album releases to add to your summer playlists. From the return of indie sleaze icons The Strokes, who are set to release their first album in six years, "Reality Awaits", to a British pop star hoping to recreate the success of her 2024 record Brat – the album that sparked the viral internet trend dubbed "Brat Summer". Her seventh album, Music, Fashion, Film, features musician John Cale, designer Marc Jacobs and filmmaker Martin Scorsese on the cover. Here's the single "Wink Wink".
Paris has been hosting its autumn-winter couture collections amid simmering temperatures, with celebrities sporting parasols and fans as they watch the shows.

At Dior, Jonathan Anderson presents an accessible, floral collection, while Pierpaolo Piccioli draws stars including Cynthia Erivo, Demi Moore and Teyana Taylor to the front row for his Balenciaga debut.
From Netflix’s ambitious reboot of “Little House on the Prairie” to Anya Taylor-Joy’s high-stakes crime thriller “Lucky”, this summer’s TV line-up has something for every viewer. We also preview “GIGN” (Elite Force), a gripping French action series that takes viewers inside one of the world’s most elite police units. Fan favourites are returning too, with a new season of “Ted Lasso” and Will Ferrell taking on his first major TV leading role as an ageing golf champion in The Hawk.
