HOW DO YOU FIND the top products in an insanely crowded market? For the RS Recommends team, it meant getting out of the office and trying stuff out in the real world — from weekend camping trips to daily commutes to massive outdoor music fests. We put this year’s coolest new devices, high-tech home accessories, and outdoor gadgets to the test, and after months of rocking out with the most innovative audio gear or pushing the limits of the freshest wearables, we narrowed our picks down to a dozen essential must-have items. They include a karaoke mic you can use on the go, a sweet electric motorbike, and a next-level outdoor speaker. We’re sure everything here will make your next adventure better, too. Li’l Chilly Hauling cold drinks gets…

THE RETURN OF BABYFACE? About damn time, so to speak. He’s one of the great hitmakers and one of my all-time pop heroes, but he’s a lot more than that. Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds ruled the radio because he was the male hitmaker who accurately saw where music was going: He recognized that the future of pop was women telling their stories. That’s how he created so many brilliant and everlasting hits for Toni Braxton, Whitney Houston, Mary J. Blige, Brandy, TLC, and so many more. He was the songwriter who put the “another” in “Another Sad Love Song.” Who put the “red” in “Red Light Special.” Who put the “shoop” in “Exhale (Shoop Shoop).” If you’re a fan of pop music, you’ve had at least one messy moment listening…

WHAT’S NEW, WHAT’S NEXT, WHAT’S NUTS PARTWAY THROUGH Farruko’s set, the stage at Miami’s FTX Arena turned into a pulpit. On a mild night in February, the Puerto Rican artist had been standing at the center of the nearly 20,000-person stadium, a tangle of flashing lights and smoke-cannon explosions blaring behind him. Fans screamed along as he sang some of his biggest hits, like the 2021 party anthem “La Tóxica,” plus other tracks from his deeply personal 2021 album, La 167. In between, Farruko talked directly to the audience, telling them he’d been striving to become a changed man. Some in the crowd thought they saw tears in his eyes. Then, the thunderous, amped-up EDM-and-guaracha beat of “Pepas” began echoing across the arena. The song is an ode to…

IF YOU WANT Stranger Things spoilers, don’t ask Maya Hawke. “I’m of no use there,” the 24-year-old confidently says on Zoom, from a house her mom, Uma Thurman, rented in Sag Harbor, New York. “My character doesn’t have a ton of spoil-y story points. I’m comic relief.” Hawke — whose father is Ethan Hawke — plays Robin Buckley, the charming, closeted band geek who fends off monsters with her sidekick Steve Harrington (Joe Keery). But when she’s not saving the town of Hawkins, Hawke is also a musician with a lush new folk album, Moss. “All I really want out of a record is permission to make another one,” she says. “I just want people to like it enough.” You’re releasing this album on the heels of the latest…

STEPHEN CURRY HAS come a long way since the curious case of the government plot from outer space. Five years ago — after he’d won his second NBA championship with the Golden State Warriors, and right after Donald Trump had challenged him to a Twitter war — Curry was golfing with his buddy Barack Obama when the ex-president started joking about secrets of the White House, the kind you’re not supposed to take home to Mar-a-Lago. Obama casually lined up a putt, spun around, and deadpanned: “You won’t believe what the aliens look like.” The following year, with another title behind him, Curry half-joked on a podcast that the moon landing might, in fact, be fake news. He’d been shown a conspiracy-theory video during his senior year in Christian…

THERE’S A MODEST HOME in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Cheviot Hills, with a stucco roof, a jacaranda tree out front, and a 1989 Mercedes 560SL in perfect condition resting in the driveway. Beyond a front porch with wind chimes and a couch pillow that reads “This is our happy place,” past a kitchen with copper pots hanging above the sink, you’ll find a living room with a floral stained-glass lamp standing in a corner. It’s the very lamp that Michelle Phillips seized from her Bel-Air mansion in 1969, when she decided to leave her husband behind. “I walked out with three things,” Phillips, 78, says. “My daughter, her crib, and the Tiffany lamp that I had to go back and steal, because I was so afraid of John.”…

WILLOW’S BRAVE NEW NOISE An emo-pop wild child mashes up rock history on her thrilling fifth LP By MAURA JOHNSTON HEAR THIS Willow Coping Mechanism ROC NATION SINCE SHE began releasing self-produced bedroom pop in the mid-2010s, Willow Smith has been guided by her own muse, smashing genres into one another while telling her story in painstaking detail. All the while, she’s been dragging pop into weirder, darker spaces. The wobbly 2015 bedroom-funk cut “Wait a Minute!” has had streaming-service staying power unmatched by most radio hits of its era, while the 2020 track “Meet Me at Our Spot,” credited to her project with partner Tyler Cole known as the Anxiety, is animated by a furtive yet openhearted energy that comes off as appropriately world-weary for a celebrity offspring…

Is this new Halloween movie really the end for your character Laurie Strode? I thought it was the end years ago. The last thing in the world I thought I would ever do again was a Halloween movie, and now I’ve made three of them in five years. It is the end of this trilogy, for sure. And yet this year is my Beatles birthday [64], and I feel more alive than I have ever felt. So to assume that in 10 years I won’t feel even more alive would then bring a question of, “Well, why not?” Why do you feel more alive now than ever? I’m considering writing a book called “Die Alive,” which has become a rallying cry for me. I want to die very creative.…

PROFILE AS SOON AS a pair of silver vans arrive at the VIP entrance of Birmingham, England’s Alexander Stadium, the whispers start. “Is that Sharon Osbourne?” a squinting security guard asks her friend. “I think so,” the other guard says. “Does that mean … ?” The drivers keep security in the dark — literally — by turning off their dome lights as they wait for Prince Edward to finish a speech for the closing ceremonies of the Commonwealth Games, a multisport event similar to the Olympics that took place in early August. The vans creep toward the stage. That’s when the crowd of 30,000 hears a bass drum: thump, thump, thump, thump. “I am Iron Man!” a familiar voice bellows from the ether, as Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi struts…

HOW DO YOU IDENTIFY THE very best series in a medium that’s been commercially available since the end of World War II? Especially when that medium has experienced more radical change in the nine years between the finales of Breaking Bad and its prequel, Better Call Saul, than it did in the 60-odd years separating Walter White from Milton Berle? The current Peak TV era is delivering us 500-plus scripted shows per year, many of them breaking boundaries in terms of how stories are told and who’s doing the telling. So, we decided to update our list of television’s all-time best offerings, originally compiled in 2016. Once again, we reached out to TV stars, creators, and critics — from multihyphenates like Natasha Lyonne, Ben Stiller, and Pamela Adlon to…

Corporate culture comes from the top in America. At least that’s the platonic ideal. How a company sets its global image, how it treats its employees, what it values — that all starts in the so-called C-suite. In some companies, that ethos can be found in a single man — they are almost always men — who emerge as the face of the firm. (Think Steve Jobs at Apple or Jeff Bezos at Amazon.) That l’etat, c’est moi approach is evident at Tesla. Elon Musk is Tesla, and Tesla is Elon Musk. This has been true since the South African became CEO and wrested control of the electric-car company from its founders in 2008. The board is not forcing Musk’s hand. (It was Musk who decided Tesla would move…
