As December nears, the husband and wife duo of King Crimson’s Robert Fripp and singer/actress Toyah Willcox are getting in the holiday spirit with a cover of “Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer,” the latest installation from their series Sunday Lunch.
While Fripp and Willcox take turns trading lyrics to the classic holiday jingle, with humbug written across the former’s forehead, a sign in the far back of the room peeks out, reading: “Frippmas Christmas Bitch!”
Last week, the couple offered up a high-spirited and slightly disjointed sing-along of “Silent Night,” but their rendition of “Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer” falls closer in line with the slate of pop tunes they have tried on in the past few months.
Sunday Lunch, which was launched last year amid the pandemic, has seen the pair taking on everything from Britney Spears’ “Toxic” to Right Said Fred’s “I’m Too Sexy.” What started as a way to connect with others during a reeling period has since expanded into a weekly treat.
“I wanted to get Robert moving. This whole thing about being in lockdown was people were stopping moving, and our generation must move. So I taught him how to jive to “Rock Around the Clock,” and we filmed it,” Willcox told Rolling Stone earlier this year. “It’s the first time we’d ever posted anything like it, our first step into that form of social media. And we got a million hits within a couple of hours as far away as the Philippines and Australia. And we thought, “Wow.”
Hit-Boy stepped into a more energetic and party driven sound on his latest single "Franchise Boy," released exclusively through YouTube. The record leans on a smooth and stripped back soul sample while also nodding to Dem Franchise Boyz and their classic track "White Tee." Hit-Boy rides the production effortlessly, delivering confident bars packed with flexes about his success and high end lifestyle. The song blends hints of Jersey club rhythms with touches of Miami bass influence, giving the track an addictive and upbeat feel. "Franchise Boy" feels like a strong preview of what could be another exciting run of music from Hit-Boy.

N***as had said it was love,
But it wasn't love, I'm really above
The s**t you be talking, I'm floating and walking
In Margiela runners, you won't see them often
