When two musicians with famous fathers co-create a song, it's bound to attract attention. That goes double when the names attached to the song are Lennon and McCartney.
"Primrose Hill" is a gently nostalgic ditty by James McCartney with co-writing credit to Sean Ono Lennon. They are the youngest offspring of one of the most famous songwriting duos, Paul McCartney and John Lennon (of The Beatles fame).
Lennon was born in 1975, five years before his dad's murder, and has carved out a respectable, if uneven, career as a musician since the 1990s, performing with his mother, Yoko Ono, as well as bands such as Cibo Matto.
James McCartney, whose mother was the late Linda McCartney, is two years younger. He began his recording career by making contributions to music by his parents in the late 1990s, but didn't begin releasing his own recordings until a decade later. On Instagram, he said the song was inspired by an idyllic boyhood memory.

Those who might be reflexively cynical about nepo-baby collabs will not be shocked to learn that the song has not performed particularly well on Spotify, where it earned fewer than 40,000 listens in the five days after its release. No matter because it is a recognizable tribute to a legendary lineage.
Just a thought. Perhaps the two can get George Harrison's son Dhani and Ringo Starr's son Zak to join them on the next track?
One of fashion's biggest nights, Met Gala 2024 falls on May 06. And it will celebrate The Costume Institute’s spring exhibition and gala titled “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion”.
According to a release from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the theme will "explore notions of rebirth and renewal, using nature as a metaphor for the impermanence of fashion".
With around 600 attendees, the guest list is generally kept top secret until the evening before the event. Past guests have included everyone from Rihanna and Lady Gaga to Blake Lively and Kim Kardashian, all wearing unforgettable looks.
The said exhibition, which will be open to the public from May 10 through September 02, 2024, will look to bridge the gap between the natural world and fashion.
Tied to the aforementioned exhibition, the dress code is “The Garden of Time" as announced by US fashion and lifestyle magazine, Vogue.
Not missing a beat, Ryanair's take on the Met Gala 2024 theme wins over the Internet. The European budget airline shared an edited photo of one of their planes adorned with flowers and leaves, as well as a pair of lips wearing pink lipstick and writing, "Born to slay, forced to fly".
