Love was forbidden. Music made it inevitable. In the beating heart of Medellín, where rhythms clash with revolution and love blooms amidst struggle, Sofía, the fierce and fearless daughter of a police chief, dares to dance to her own beat. Drawn not to power or protection, but to Julián, a soulful footballer-turned-graffiti artist pulled between his dreams and the shadows of the gangs he once knew, Sofía finds her world flipped upside down at a Shakira concert that changes everything. From midnight bootleg tapes to rooftop hip rolls, from alleyway kisses to city-wide flash mobs, their ...

But when his promposal short film bombs and his not-girlfriend ghosts him for someone with a streaming deal, Noah has only one shot left to prove he’s not a one-man blooper reel: crash the real prom.

In the eyeliner-smudged chaos of 1982 London, where synth-pop rules the airwaves, New Romantics clash with rude boys, and every mixtape feels like a manifesto, two rivals are about to find harmony in the last place they expect. JJ Ryder is a Smash Hits journalist with a mullet teased to the gods and a devotion to Duran Duran so intense, he dreams of fronting his own band.

In the glitter-stained shadows of New York’s queer nightlife, where Studio 54’s ghost still echoes and drag queens preach gospel in disco boots, two souls collide in a symphony of strobe lights, sequins, and survival. Eli Abrams is a shy FIT fashion student with a heart full of sketches and scars, haunted by high school taunts, ignored by his father, but burning to make art that speaks louder than shame.

In the grit-streaked heart of 1970s New York, where CBGB reeks of spilled beer and revolution, one record shop war is about to turn into the greatest duet the city’s never heard. Jamie Finnegan is a Lennon-loving music critic in the making, armed with a notebook, a Beatles back catalog, and a hopeless belief that melody can still change the world.

In the shadowed glow of 1997 Sydney, where cassette tapes hiss and memory hums like feedback, music journalist Evie Callahan presses play on the interview that changed her life, and begins to unravel the decades that led her there. Fresh from a rare conversation with David Bowie, intimate, unrehearsed, quietly electrifying, Evie returns home to write the story she’s carried for seventeen years.

When a jam session at Blue Note Records sparks a musical...

Five years ago, Anna Thompson was the rising star of Boston’s culinary scene, until a disastrous live TV meltdown turned her into the internet’s favorite punchline: “Soufflé Girl.” Humiliated and heartbroken, she slinked back to Clover Bay, the sleepy coastal town where she grew up, and took a job flipping burgers at The Salty Spoon, a run-down diner clinging to its last fryer basket of hope.
