Neon Lights will be the debut for Interpol in Southeast Asia. The critically acclaimed band known for its post-punk-influenced music will release its sixth studio album, Marauder, on Friday. It is often cited as one of the major bands in a post-punk revival in the early 2000s, with successful albums such as Turn On the Bright Lights and Antics.

Her single “Live Your Life” was produced by Pharrell Williams in 2012, which led to her debut album in the same year. Chapters, Yuna’s third album, released in 2016, featured a duet with Usher and made it into the top 10 of the Billboard Best R&B Albums of 2016 as well as into the Top 20 Best R&B Albums of 2016 by Rolling Stone magazine.
