Globally acclaimed sitar player, producer, and composer Anoushka Shankar has announced a new mini-album Chapter I: Forever, For Now, and the release of the single “Stolen Moments”.

It marks Shankar’s first new music since 2022’s standalone single “In Her Name”, which commemorated the tenth anniversary of the gang rape in Delhi of Jyoti Singh Pandey.

“Today marks the release of my new song Stolen Moments! It's about finding peace in the smallest moments. This brings me to a fullness of presence and connection, and I hope that even in some small way this music can help you do the same,” Shankar wrote on Twitter.

Chapter I: Forever, For Now will be released in October on Nils Frahm’s LEITER label and features production from Arooj Aftab.

She describes working with Aftab on the release, “I’d always thought she was brilliant, and working together on ‘Udhero Na’ confirmed our collaborative chemistry. I love the genre-fluid world she creates with thoughtful arrangements and sonic spaces. It’s something I also value in my own work, but she does it differently. I was really drawn to that different voice, that different colour.”

The mini-album follows Between Us…, Shankar’s live album recorded with Jules Buckley and the Metropole Orkest which went on to receive a Grammy nomination for Best Global Album in 2023. It is the first chapter in a trilogy of releases that Shankar will be writing and releasing between tours.

Meghan Markle's 'With Love, Meghan' renewed for season 2 despite critic backlash and ratings

Despite being panned by reviewers, Meghan Markle's 'With Love, Meghan'has managed to secure a second season, and it is almost true that controversy still fuels viewership. The eight-episode show, which premiered on Tuesday, features the Duchess of Sussex sharing cooking, gardening, and hosting tips from a stunning California estate. Despite being labelled “gormless lifestyle filler” by *The Guardian* and an “exercise in narcissism” by *The Telegraph*, the series has found its way into Netflix’s top 10 in 47 countries, including the U.S., Canada, and South Africa.

The show’s renewal was announced just hours after its debut, with Meghan sharing the news on Instagram in her signature playful style. Wearing a hat that read “lettuce romaine calm,” she posted, “Lettuce romaine calm… or not (!) because I'm thrilled to share that Season 2 of *With Love, Meghan* is coming!” She added, “If you're loving Season 1, just wait until you see the fun we cooked up on Season 2!”

Women in their villain era: Ditching the ‘Good Girl’ act and owning unapologetic power

Let’s face it: the world has never been a safe space for women. It’s a place where we’re told to smile while being catcalled, to be polite while being undermined, and to shrink ourselves to fit into the tiny, suffocating box labelled “likeable.” In a world that often feels set against them with unsafe streets, glass ceilings, impossible beauty standards, and a relentless demand to be nice, women have had enough. They are done playing nice. The good girl act is out, and the villain era is in. And when they decided to break free? Oh honey, they did it with a bang.

This is the age of women flipping the script, ditching the nice girl manual, and embracing their inner bad guy. And why wouldn’t we? When the world is a dumpster fire of double standards, violence, and impossible expectations, sometimes the only way to survive is to become the villain they already think you are. And let’s be real: when women stop playing by the rules, it’s not a breakdown. It’s a breakthrough.
