Tracy Chapman is back in the limelight, if only for a moment. The acclaimed (and reclusive) musician made a surprise appearance at the 66th Grammy Awards on Sunday to perform signature song “Fast Car” alongside country superstar Luke Combs.

The success of Combs’s cover helped Chapman make history: “Fast Car” became the first song written entirely by a Black woman to top the Billboard country charts, and also the first to win Song of the Year at the Country Music Awards in 2023.

Singer-songwriter Charlotte Cardin exudes a French girl cool factor (though she's from Montreal) seemingly in everything she does: her pared-down wardrobe, her blunt bangs hairstyle, and laid back performances. That effortlessness pervades in her music, even when she sings about trouble in paradise. Cardin recently released a six-track EP, Main Girl, in September, which combines her soulful, raspy, Amy Winehouse-like vocals, a jazz-inspired retro sound, and an electronic influence.

Rather than walking into a rented space and working with its preexisting architecture and design, "a tent is a blank canvas that sets the stage for the imagination to run wild," Steve Moore of Sinclair and Moore says.
