Music Review: More new Stones tunes? ‘Foreign Tongues’ expands on a late, stunning creative burst

The Rolling Stones are at it again — and by “it” we mean new music. “Foreign Tongues” is the band’s second album of new material in three years, after the Grammy-winning “Hackney Diamonds.” Mick Jagger’s staccato voice remains fresh and full, and Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood match his legendary energy on guitar, writes Associated Press critic Jocelyn Noveck in her review. Highlights include the rocking “Divine Intervention,” the bluesy “Rough and Twisted,” a poignant Richards vocal performance on “Some of Us,” and a breakup song with the USA in “Ringing Hollow.” High-profile guests include Bruno Mars, The Cure's Robert Smith and the great Paul McCartney on bass.

In any language: English speakers are tuning into World Cup broadcasts in Spanish

MIAMI (AP) — Ashleigh Hallam teaches English at her local library in Indiana. She's brushing up on her Spanish by watching the World Cup. Many English speakers in the U.S. are tuning into Spanish broadcasts, even if they don't understand the language. Census figures show that about 20% of the U.S. is Hispanic, yet Telemundo points to Nielsen ratings to show that roughly half the World Cup viewers in the U.S. have watched at least some portion of some matches in Spanish. Viewers are drawn to the excitement of Spanish commentary, famed broadcaster Andrés Cantor’s “goooool” call, and the lack of commercial breaks. Some, like comedian Trevor Noah, prefer the uninterrupted coverage.

Bare skin, fantasy and the machine: 3 takeaways from Paris' starry couture week

PARIS (AP) — Designer Pierpaolo Piccioli's Balenciaga debut is the most anticipated show of Paris couture week, which ends Thursday. Across 30 houses, designers exposed the body, buried it in volume or erased it altogether, while others fled into fairy tales, masked balls and mourning-white spectacle as a heat wave gripped the city. The week also showed couture's interaction with technology, from Iris van Herpen’s particle-accelerator dress to Balenciaga’s lab-grown silk. The stakes were higher than usual: luxury is trying to recover from a slump, and major houses are betting on new designers at Balenciaga, Dior, Chanel and Armani Privé to restore desire.

Movie Review: The live-action 'Moana' is a lifeless carbon copy of an animated classic

Say what you will about them, but the Disney live-action remakes have at least given us a choice. Which would you rather see? A spirited, soaring animated “Moana,” or a purposeless remake featuring Dwayne Johnson with Fabio hair? Few of the live-action remakes, regardless of box-office receipts, are covered in glory. But “Moana,” directed by “Hamilton” veteran Thomas Kail, feels especially off course, offering little more than a lamentable swap of cartoon imagination for live-action do-over,” writes AP Film Writer Jake Coyle in his review. The lifeless result veers perilously close to “Saturday Night Live” parody or one of those joke parallel universes in the “Spider-Verse” movies.
