Pop’s Most Anticipated Moments Arrive with ‘locket’ and ‘DON’T BE DUMB’ from Madison Beer and A$AP Rocky

Bingkai Karya – 2 time Grammy nominated Madison Beer drops her third studio album ‘locket’ alongside the release of the official music video for her new single, “bad enough.” Written and co produced by Madison, the album is her most exciting, visceral collection of songs to date and firmly plants the flag as one of the marquee pop records set to define 2026. A locket is more than just a charm or a piece of jewelry, it is a keepsake, a secret enclosure holding vital memories. To Madison, it encapsulates a world of remembrances and experiences, each woven together to comprise the singer songwriter and pop luminary’s latest, most urgent, and magnetic album.

The album features her widely acclaimed releases “make you mine,” “yes baby,” and “bittersweet.” Madison earned her second GRAMMY nomination for “make you mine” in the Best Dance Pop Recording category in 2025. Since its release in 2024, the track reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Dance Airplay chart, marking her first solo chart topper and cementing her as a mainstay at Dance Radio. “yes baby,” released last September, continued her run of success by also reaching the top of the chart.

“bittersweet” emerged as a breakout moment, becoming her fastest song to enter Top 40 radio and earning her career debut on Billboard’s Hot 100. The single also became a defining live moment with performances at the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show where the YouTube livestream peaked at 2.5 million viewers during her set and Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.

Meanwhile, a major new era unfolds as multi hyphenated artist, entrepreneur, actor, and fashion icon A$AP Rocky releases his highly awaited fourth studio album, ‘DON’T BE DUMB.’ Ahead of the album release, Rocky dropped the first single “Punk Rocky,” setting the tone for his next chapter, followed by the release of “Helicopter$” earlier this week.

The album cover art was created by visionary filmmaker and illustrator Tim Burton in collaboration with Rocky, featuring six of Rocky’s signature personas brought to life in Burton’s unmistakable style. Each character from the six man ensemble offers a window into unforgettable moments across Rocky’s illustrious career. The alter egos GR1M, MR. MAYERS, RUGAHAND, BABUSHKA BOI, DUMMY, and SHIRTHEAD set the stage for the ever evolving narrative universe of ‘DON’T BE DUMB.’

The album arrives on the heels of a massive year for Rocky, who served as co chair of the 2025 Met Gala, was announced as creative director for Ray Ban, and appointed as Chanel’s newest house ambassador. He also delivered groundbreaking performances at this year’s Lollapalooza and Camp Flog Gnaw, previewing what’s to come on ‘DON’T BE DUMB.’

A clean edit of the album will be available in the coming weeks.
