Måneskin has debuted the video for “Supermodel,” the band’s latest single.
The clip shows the Italian rockers chasing after the titular supermodel, who’s escaped a party with a mysterious, glowing purse akin to the briefcase in Pulp Fiction. There are also references to several other ’90s films, including Run Lola Run and Eyes Wide Shut.
You can watch the “Supermodel” video streaming now on YouTube.
The song “Supermodel” premiered earlier this month. It follows last fall’s “MAMMAMIA.”
Måneskin will launch their first North American headlining tour in October.

Was the president of France “Beggin'” for Måneskin to be disqualified from Eurovision?
Followers of the famed music competition may recall that the Italian rockers found themselves in a bit of controversy towards the end of the 2021 contest when Damiano David was accused of using cocaine backstage.
While Måneskin denied the allegations — and David would go on to pass a drug test — there were calls for the band to be kicked out of Eurovision, especially from France, whose contestant, Barbara Pravi, came in second.
One of those calls apparently came from French President Emmanuel Macron, according to French broadcaster Stéphane Bern, who was a commentator on Eurovision 2021.
“It was a big, big mess,” Bern tells the BBC. “I received so many messages on my mobile — even one from the French president — telling me Måneskin had to be disqualified, saying, ‘You have to do something, please.'”
Bern also received a similar request from the French Minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs.
“But what could I have done?” Bern recalls thinking. “I wasn’t hosting. I’m not the president of the Eurovision!”
Macron’s office did not respond to the BBC’s request for comment.
Måneskin, of course, won Eurovision, and has long put the drug allegations in the rear-view mirror on their way to global stardom over the past year. That journey’s set to continue this week with the premiere of a new single called “Supermodel.”
In October, Måneskin will launch their first-ever full-length North American headlining tour.
Måneskin‘s Loud Kids tour continues to get even louder.
The Italian rockers have added a Los Angeles date to their North American run, taking place November 7 at the Hollywood Palladium. Tickets go on sale this Friday, April 29, at 10 a.m. PT, with a pre-sale happening Wednesday, April 27, at 10 a.m. PT.
The Loud Kids tour, which was announced last month, kicks off Halloween night in Seattle, and marks Måneskin’s first full-length U.S. tour. Multiple shows on the outing have already sold out, leading to venue upgrades and additional shows in select cities.
Meanwhile, Måneskin just played Coachella’s second weekend after making their debut at the famed festival earlier this month. Their sets included a cover of the Britney Spears song “Womanizer.”
Imagine Dragons has announced the details of the 2022 Rise Up Gala, the annual benefit concert supporting the band’s charity, the Tyler Robinson Foundation.
This year’s event takes place September 23 in Las Vegas, and will feature an acoustic performance from Dan Reynolds and company. The evening will be hosted by comedian and actor Joel McHale.
Ticket sales will support the Tyler Robinson Foundation’s mission in helping families affected by pediatric cancer. ID founded the organization in 2013 in honor of Tyler Robinson, a fan who passed away from cancer at age 17.
The gala will also feature a cocktail hour, dinner, and live and silent auctions.
Måneskin will be taking a more politically conscious direction with their upcoming new single, “We’re Gonna Dance on Gasoline,” which was influenced by Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
Speaking with The Independent, bassist Victoria De Angelis reveals, “We’ve been writing a lot of music these past few months, so of course this whole f***ing insane situation with Ukraine really affected us.”
“We just felt like we could do something to use our privilege and the people that look up to us to stand for what’s right, and make some people feel helped and understood,” De Angelis adds. “We want to raise our voice for something that’s meaningful.”
Måneskin previously teased “Gasoline” in a social media post earlier this month as part of Stand Up for Ukraine campaign. Writing the song, De Angelis says, “came pretty naturally.”
“We felt the urge to do it while we were writing and this thing really affected us, as it has everyone,” De Angelis shares. “We just felt the need to talk about it.”
Måneskin gave “Gasoline” its live debut over the weekend at Coachella. The band’s set also included covers of Britney Spears‘ “Womanizer” and The Stooges‘ “I Wanna Be Your Dog,” along with their hit rendition of “Beggin'” and their originals “MAMMAMIA” and “I Wanna Be Your Slave.”
Måneskin is teasing a new song while expressing support for Ukraine as it continues to fight Russia’s invasion.
In an Instagram post, the Italian rockers share a minute-long clip of the track, which seems to take on a darker tone than past Måneskin tunes like “Beggin'” and “MAMMAMIA.”
“How are you sleeping at night/how do you close both your eyes/living with all of those lives/on your hands?” frontman Damiano David asks in the lyrics.
The clip is accompanied by a caption expressing support for Global Citizen’s Stand Up for Ukraine campaign, which calls on “governments, institutions, corporations, and individuals to donate to humanitarian efforts for Ukraine and refugees from conflicts worldwide, such as Yemen, South Sudan, and Afghanistan.”
“Refugees in Ukraine and around the world need urgent humanitarian aid,” Måneskin writes. “We’re using our voice to demand action, and you can, too.”

Imagine Dragons has premiered the video for the band’s latest single, “Bones.”
The clip begins with frontman Dan Reynolds channeling his inner Gordon Gekko as he portrays a Wall Street bigwig. It then shifts into another ’80s homage when the trading floor is invaded by dancing zombies inspired by Michael Jackson‘s “Thriller” video.
“I’ve always loved that ‘Thriller’ was both scary and playful,” Reynolds says. “I didn’t know as a kid if I wanted to watch it again or not for fear of the ensuing nightmares, but I always came back for more with my eyes half-closed.”
He adds, “The idea of punishing Wall Street with a zombie infection felt like an enjoyable time. And it was.”
You can watch the “Bones” video streaming now on YouTube.
“Bones” follows ID’s 2021 album Mercury — Act 1. It’ll appear on an upcoming double album titled Mercury — Acts 1 & 2, which arrives July 1.
Imagine Dragons’ ongoing world Mercury tour picks up again this weekend with a run through Canada, followed by a trip to Europe in June. They’ll launch a summer U.S. leg in August.
Backstage at the Grammys Sunday night in Las Vegas, artists answered questions from both reporters who were actually backstage at the MGM Grand Arena, and reporters who’d logged in on Zoom from around the country. But some of the night’s biggest winners didn’t appear backstage.
Olivia Rodrigo and Silk Sonic, both of whom won multiple awards Sunday night, posed for photos, but didn’t talk to reporters. Doja Cat, who won Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group for “Kiss Me More,” also declined to speak with reporters, but her duet partner, SZA, did come backstage, despite the fact that she was on crutches due to, as she put it, “falling out of bed” the day before.
“That’s the way it goes,” she laughed. “Everything awesome in my life has always come with something very random, but it just adds to the energy.”
SZA’s Grammy was her first win after 11 nominations, and R&B songstress Jazmine Sullivan and country duo Brothers Osborne were two other artists who finally won for the first time Sunday night after multiple nominations. Backstage, Sullivan, who actually won two trophies, said, “After losing so many times, I feel like I kinda gave up [hope of ever winning]…so it’s surreal to actually hold these babies!”
TJ Osborne of Brothers Osborne, who admitted that his mother “hates” that he dyed his hair blond, spoke about how “incredibly fulfilling” it’s been to perform for their fans since he came out as gay last year.
But country’s big winner was Chris Stapleton, who took home three trophies, including Best Country Album. Asked backstage who out there he’d like to collaborate with, Stapleton, who’s worked with Taylor Swift, Adele and Santana, among others, said he wouldn’t mind working with Harry Styles.
Country superstar Carrie Underwood won the Best Roots Gospel Album Grammy for her faith-based project My Savior and cried backstage as she spoke about how it “means the world” to her that she won because she’s wanted to make that kind of album “literally my whole career.”
H.E.R., who won the Best Traditional R&B Performance Grammy, was still buzzing from her performance with Lenny Kravitz on the show. “I was having so much fun…growing up, I’d literally study all his videos…he’s one of the reasons why I even wanted to play guitar, so having this full circle moment…I was at a loss for words.”
And The Late Show with Stephen Colbert bandleader Jon Batiste, who had the most Grammys going into the show, also cited Lenny Kravitz as HIS full circle moment: Kravitz announced that Batiste had won the Album of the Year for his project We Are. “We played together when I was 16, so it was surreal,” Batiste told reporters, adding, “Seeing Uncle Lenny up there, it was just like a whole vibe, like, ‘This is far out.'”
Foo Fighters swept the rock categories, but sadly, they didn’t attend due to the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins. St. Vincent won Best Alternative Album for Daddy’s Home and backstage, she mentioned how happy she was that Jack Antonoff, her co-producer on the album, had been named Producer of the Year.
She also spoke about how “times are changing” in terms of women in alternative rock, while rock legend Bonnie Raitt, who won the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, praised the new crop of young female artists, including Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo.
“Across all genres, I think women are kickin’ it,” said Raitt.
