DUA LIPA – ILLUSION REMIX

Amazon Music, 3x GRAMMY, 7x BRIT Award-winning global pop powerhouse Dua Lipa, and DJ and producer Regard release a special, brand-new Amazon Music Original remix of “Illusion”, from her latest album Radical Optimism. The Amazon Music Original Illusion (Regard Remix – Amazon Music Original)” is available now, exclusive to Amazon Music listeners, listen here.

Creating an anthemic rendition of Dua Lipa’s “Illusion”, Regard’s remix features a new euphoric piano hook and a driving 4-to-the-floor kick and bassline that complements Dua’s original vocals.

The original version of “Illusion” comes from Dua’s recently released third album, Radical Optimism, which went straight to No. 1 in 11 countries, including the UK where it became the biggest album debut from a UK artist in 2024 and garnered the highest week one sales from a UK female artist since 2021. In the US, the album debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart and No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart, marking Dua’s biggest sales week yet. It was named a Critic’s Pick by The New York Times, who hailed it is “an album of nonstop ear candy,” along with Variety, who declared it is “a joyous blast of pop savvy.” Additionally, The New Yorker praised, “the instrumentation is a gleaming and impenetrable expanse, and the main attraction is Lipa,” and Vogue raved it is “a summery, self-assured slice of pop brilliance…[and] catchy as hell.”

Last month, Amazon Music and Dua Lipa shared the meaning behind some of the tracks so fans can enjoy the album along with commentary from Dua herself. In her commentary, Dua delves into the meaning behind ‘Radical Optimism’ covering topics such as the inspiration for the album cover, the songwriting process, her genre description, the importance of performing at Glastonbury, along with a dive into the meaning behind several songs from the album.

OAKLEY MUZM SUB ZERO N

MAX FEARLIGHT’S 90S SUB ZERO DEFROSTED AND REIMAGINED

A boundary-breaking eyewear reinvented, Oakley® 2024 MUZM Sub Zero N elevates pure physics to an art form. As a relic from the 90s, the Sub Zero silhouette debuted in the original 1992 Max Fearlight commercial with the film becoming a visual manifesto that established the brand’s mood and tone for over 30 years.

Today, in the new brand film featuring Team Oakley athlete Lucas Braathen, Max Fearlight’s original sunglasses are defrosted and reimagined with an evolution into Sub Zero N – bringing together the past and future.

From the impossible task of creating eyewear that would be weightless, came a single continuous contour lens design with an overall weight of less than 20 grams. Carefully curated with the rare “N” lens-cut, a unique paint treatment, and revamped branding, the MUZM Matte Grey Smoke Sub Zero pays homage to Max Fearlight’s creative legacy. Featuring the same white Oakley branding Max wore before exiting the bunker, it is designed to closely cover your face. The Plutonite® lens material now comes with the bold two-tone Prizm™ Snow Torch Iridium® lens technology for an upgraded vision. Additional colorways include Burn Brush with Tungsten lenses and Carbon Fiber with Black lenses. Each with a unique paint treatment and Prizm Matte lenses for an upgraded vision experience. Every style is complete with a microbag and custom Oakley Muzm™ box sleeve.

The MUZM collection celebrates the brand’s disruptive legacy and the bold designs that have shaped Oakley’s past and continue to define its future. Each MUZM piece is carefully selected from the brand’s archive and enhanced with the latest Oakley innovations, connecting generations to the brand’s cultural heritage. This latest iteration joins the brand’s icons of the past, including Eye Jacket, Racing Jacket, Mars X-Metal Leather, and more, which have been reborn with the MUZM series.

The 2024 MUZM Sub Zero N will be available worldwide on May 30, in stores and online at Oakley.com.

FUTURE GENESIS

OAKLEY® MULTIMEDIA ODYSSEY CONTINUES TO UNFOLD WITH CHAPTER ONE LAUNCHING NEW ANIMATED FICTION FILM & PREVIEW COMIC DROP WITH DARK HORSE COMICS PARTNERSHIP

Watch

Oakley®’s story began in 1975, igniting a history fueled by audacity. Now, the brand legacy unfolds with the new release “Future Genesis: Chapter One,” an animated fiction film and an adaptation in the form of an ashcan preview comic by Dark Horse. Set in the aftermath of the original 1992 Max Fearlight film and preceding the teaser films released in 2023, this next chapter heralds a new era, channeling Oakley’s disruptive DNA into an evolutionary path of unleashed possibility.

Future Genesis is the journey to a protopian future, a world that is better today than yesterday. Oakley fuses its almost 50-year legacy with the momentum of a new generation, embracing a vision of hope and acceptance while remaining true to its DNA. This universe-building continues to reinvent the brand at every pillar —including storytelling, retail, and upcoming products.

“Chapter One follows Max Fearlight, symbolizing Oakley’s legacy, as he undergoes an evolution parallel to the brand,” shared Brian Takumi, VP of Creative & Soul at Oakley. “This is more than a story and a campaign; it is a framework with a brand vision translated towards a limitless future and into the real world. From the renovation of our Foothill Ranch Lobby and global stores to product design and innovation, it is the beginning of reimagining everything for Oakley.”

The Chapter One film and preview comic re-introduces Max, the cornerstone of Oakley’s heritage, who grows increasingly more cautious of the outside world, and a new character, his wife Sasha, whose outlook remains hopeful. Caught in between is their rebellious and spirited daughter, Maxine Fearlight, who’s set on creating her own legacy and embodies the essence of curiosity, optimism, and the promise of Oakley’s future. Looking into the storm, Max perceives danger, Sasha envisions a brighter tomorrow, and Maxine sees sparks of possibility amidst the chaos.

Carving a new multimedia path ahead, Oakley progresses its storytelling in a new form by partnering with Dark Horse, one of the largest comic publishers in the US, to unveil a preview comic depicting the Future Genesis storyline and made available in late May.

“Partnering with Oakley for Future Genesis: Chapter One is an exciting opportunity for Dark Horse, and we are thrilled to bring the world of Future Genesis to life through this unique preview comic book,” said Cara O’Neil, Vice President of Marketing at Dark Horse Comics.

Fantasy informs reality as Future Genesis brings new breakthroughs to be announced from Oakley through easter eggs, signaling the brand’s new wave of distinctive design and progressive technology.

From 21 May, follow the journey as Oakley writes its future alongside Maxine, as she seeks hope in the very storm that defines her existence. Future Genesis: Chapter One will be available to view at www.oakley.com/futuregenesis.

DJ SNAKE + PESO PLUMA

DJ SNAKE AND PESO PLUMA STAR IN OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE “TEKA”

WATCH HERE

Released earlier this week, globally renowned French DJ and multi-platinum producer DJ Snake joins forces with international sensation Peso Pluma for electric new single “Teka” via Interscope Records. The superstar collaboration fuses Pluma’s crisp vocals with Snake’s dynamic production skills resulting in a pulsating anthem transcendent of cultural genre boundaries. The record was first previewed during DJ Snake’s explosive set at Coachella, when he was joined on stage by Peso Pluma to play the song live for the first time. Watch official music video HERE.

“The weekend has arrived, Italian brand clothes,” Pluma raps in Spanish over a thick bass-beat and hypnotic guitar loop. He then leads the way to an instantly catchy chorus, “she’s gonna rock the discotheque, theque, theque, theque, theque.” With an undeniable hook, and Snake’s frenetic, culture-colling production, the dance-floor-filler has arrived just in time to provide a sure summer staple in the coming months.

“Teka” follows quickly on the heels of “Big Bang,” the French producer’s recent collaboration with Crankdat, which marked Snake’s first release since dropping the joyous “West Side Story” last summer. Prior to that, he rolled out “Guddi Riddim” featuring the Nooran Sisters, which was a viral sensation even before its release after a live performance in India spread far and wide online. Now, with “Teka,” Snake and Pluma both lean into their strengths, offering up a party-starting gem with promise to last through summer and beyond.

ABOUT DJ SNAKE:

No other artist embodies the concept of global dance music better than DJ Snake, who over the last decade has achieved the kind of rarified and wildly transformative success that few ever come close to attaining. Originally from a housing project on the outskirts of Paris, Snake made his full-length debut in 2016 with Encore, a groundbreaking album that reached #1 on Billboard’s Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart and debuted in the top 10 around the world. His 2019 album, Carte Blanche only furthered his superstardom with global hits “Loco Contigo” featuring J. Balvin & Tyga, and “Taki Taki” featuring Selena Gomez, Ozuna, and Cardi B. Since scoring his first #1 single with the four-times-platinum “Let Me Love You” ft. Justin Bieber, the multi-platinum-selling DJ / producer has shattered industry records with smash hits such as “Taki Taki”, delivered era-defining records like “Turn Down for What” (with Lil Jon), earned over 80+ diamond single certifications and over 400+ platinum single certifications from the RIAA, amassed over 40B global streams, and made history as the first artist to perform atop the roof of the Arc de Triomphe.

Along with repeatedly turning out tracks that top the charts around the world – including three songs that have surpassed a staggering billion streams on Spotify – making him one of only two dance acts to have reached this milestone thus far – the multi-award-winning phenomenon brings his boundary-pushing ingenuity to music that builds unexpected and undeniably powerful bridges between vastly different cultures and genres.

ABOUT PESO PLUMA:

Hailing from Guadalajara, Mexico, Peso Pluma is a trailblazing artist known for his unique style and genuine approach. With 59 million monthly Spotify listeners, he’s made history as the first Mexican artist to top the ‘Daily Top Artists Mexico’ chart. His album “GÉNESIS” broke streaming records, earning him his first GRAMMY® nomination and win for Best Música Mexicana Album in 2024. His collaborations with artists like Karol G, Anitta, Christian Nodal and more have further propelled him to international acclaim. Peso Pluma is not only a musical powerhouse but a cultural icon, with multiple awards and the launch of his own label, Double P Records, in partnership with George Prajin, he solidifies his impact on the industry.

Achieving your summer body isn’t as hard as we think, and usually starts with making simple lifestyle changes. No matter how far you are from your end goal, you need to start NOW! Any successful plan involves a combination of regular exercise, a balanced diet, and healthy lifestyle choices. Here are ten fitness and nutrition tips to help you work towards your 2024 Summer Bod goals:

1. Set Realistic Goals: Define clear and achievable fitness goals for the summer. Whether it’s losing a certain amount of weight, building muscle, or improving overall fitness, setting realistic targets is essential.

2. Regular Exercise Routine: Establish a consistent exercise routine that combines cardiovascular activities (e.g., running, swimming) with strength training. Aim for at least 4 workouts per week.

3. Emphasize Weight Training: Incorporate both cardiovascular exercises and strength training into your workouts.

5. Stay Hydrated: Hydration is crucial for overall health and fitness. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially during workouts. Water helps with digestion, regulates body temperature, and supports energy levels.

6. Reduce Liquid Calories: Drinking alcohol or sugar filled coffee, soda, juices can fill your daily diet with unnecessary and progress killing calories. Alcohol consumption can negatively affect hormone balance and production, as well as sleep and countless other bodily necessary bodily functions. Limit where possible. Celebrate your progress in the summer when we’ve achieved your goal!

7. Limit Added Sugars and Processed Foods: Cut down on foods and beverages high in added sugars. Processed foods often contain hidden sugars and can contribute to excess calorie intake. Opt for whole, unprocessed foods instead.

8. Prioritize Protein Intake: Include an adequate amount of protein in your diet to support muscle growth and repair. Good sources of protein include lean meats, fish, eggs, dairy, legumes, and plant-based options like tofu and quinoa. Supplements can help, but whole foods are always best.

9. Get Sufficient Sleep: Quality sleep is essential for recovery and overall well-being. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night to support your body’s ability to repair and rejuvenate.

10. Practice Consistency and Patience: Achieving a summer body is a gradual process. Stay consistent with your exercise routine and healthy eating habits. Understand that results take time and be patient with your progress. The slower the progress often the longer the results. Stay disciplined!
