Now here we are: Tame Impala’s “Dracula” gets a fresh pair of fangs with a new remix featuring JENNIE.

The BLACKPINK star layers her vocals over several verses and the chorus, and jumps in for a volley of new lyrics.

On it, she raps: “Hey, Kevin, what’s up?/ Come pull up in my spot / Let’s keep the night glowing, I don’t ever wanna stop / I’ll never leave this floor, got me needin’ more / Sky is turning blue, let it clear the smoke / Lip-stain on the rim, bass is ’bout to blow / Sinking in my teeth, I buy time.”

The “Dracula” update makes more sense than might first appear. JENNIE and Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker are, geographically at least, cousins. The K-pop star was born in South Korea, and raised in New Zealand, the neighbor and close buddy of Australia, Parker’s homeland. Cousins.

Parker is a fan, too. At the 2026 Grammy Awards last Sunday, Feb. 1 in Los Angeles, the Western Australian producer and artist was spotted wearing official JENNIE merch. It turned out to be a great night for Parker, as he nabbed a golden gramophone for “End Of Summer,” his second successive win in the best dance/electronic recording category.

Then, on Tuesday (Feb. 3), Parker announced that JENNIE would contribute vocals on an updated version of what is Tame Impala’s biggest hit to-date in the United States.

Dropping in full during the darkness of midnight (of course), “Dracula – JENNIE Remix” is the K-pop superstar’s first solo release since unveiling her debut album, Ruby, in March 2025. That project debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 and spawned a number of Billboard Hot 100 entries, including “ExtraL” featuring Doechii and “Like JENNIE.”

“Dracula” is housed on Tame Impala’s fifth studio album, Deadbeat, its first through a new deal with Columbia, part of Sony Music. Deadbeat debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and Official U.K. Albums Charts last October, and No. 2 on the ARIA Chart.

Despite Parker’s multiple Grammys, ARIA and APRA Awards, a BRIT Award, and glowing praise from fellow artists, critics and fans everywhere, Tame Impala had to wait until 2025 for a Billboard Hot 100 hit. It was “Dracula” that did the business.

After nearly two decades as one of music’s most sought-out collaborators with numerous streaming hits, Tame Impala finally scored a Hot 100 hit in October with “Dracula,” peaking at No. 30. What followed that drought-buster was something like waiting for a bus in London — two more immediately arrived on the singles chart, “Loser” (No. 91) and “My Old Ways” (No. 56).

“Dracula” is hard to kill. Nearly a year after reaching No. 1 on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay for the first time, has risen once again, topping the Feb. 7-dated ranking.

This week, … Check out all of this week’s picks below:

Nick Jonas, Sunday Best

Nick Jonas kicked off 2026 with the release of his contemplative single “Gut Punch,” which previewed his fifth solo album Sunday Best. The album arrives today (Feb. 6) with the support of new single, and opening track, the acoustic guitar-driven “Sweet To Me.” Sunday Best is Jonas’ first solo project since Spaceman in 2021. As his new album dives in life as a husband and dad, his storytelling “explores honesty, growth and rediscovery,” according to a press release.

ZAYN, “Die For Me”

Following new music from his One Direction bandmates Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles, ZAYN is back with major announcements: a new single, a new album and his biggest solo tour. This week, ZAYN announced the upcoming release of his fifth solo album, KONNAKOL, out April 17. He offered a taste of what to expect with lead single, “Die For Me,” an R&B-pop track that would sound right at home on a Fifty Shades soundtrack. Following the album’s release, on May 12, ZAYN will embark on his biggest solo trek to date, including stops in 31 cities across the world.

Tame Impala and JENNIE, “Dracula – JENNIE Remix”

After Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker was spotted wearing JENNIE merch earlier this week, fans began to speculate what it could mean — and they didn’t have to wait long. JENNIE hopped on the band’s latest hit “Dracula” and offers much more than a guest verse (she contributes not one, but two). JENNIE’s vocals and harmonies are woven throughout the entirety of the song, making it feel like wholly collaborative and reimagined. “Dracula” is off Tame Impala’s fifth album Deadbeat, that arrived last October. “Dracula” arrived as the album’s third single and just hit No. 1 on Billboard‘s Alternative Airplay chart (dated Feb. 7).

J. Cole, “Two Six”

In an Instagram post shared on Feb. 4, J. Cole revealed his forthcoming album The Fall Off is “a double album with intentions to be my last” and that it will “bring the concept of my first project full circle.” Led by single “Two Six,” J. Cole comes out with a declaration: “If I wasn’t rapping b—h I might just be the president.” And if this is his last project, he just might have the time now.

sombr, “Homewrecker”

Strategically released just days after the Grammys — at which sombr was nominated for best new artist and performed his hit “12 to 12” during the ceremony — “Homewrecker” signals that he’s already writing his next chapter. The single stays in a similar uptempo pop lane as “12 to 12” (compared to his more pensive hits) and continues his streak as the sole writer and co-producer, alongside Tony Berg, of his music.

Joji, “Hotel California”

Alternative R&B artist Joji returns with his first project since 2022’s Smithereens, which included his Hot 100 hit “Glimpse Of Us.” His fourth album, Piss in the Wind, is his first since splitting with his longtime label home 88rising; his new project arrives on his own label, Palace Creek. And while much of the album is airy and experimental, “Hotel California” is a close cousin to “Glimpse Of Us,” as his delicate vocals narrate a story of love lost.

Nearly eight years after J. Cole introduced The Fall-Off‘s intro with KOD‘s “1985” closer in 2018, the Dreamville rapper’s final album has arrived.

The Fall-Off hit streaming services on Friday (Feb. 6), tying a bow on the North Carolina icon’s decorated career. The project is a double album (Disc 29 and Disc 39), which boasts 11 tracks plus a bonus on each, making 24 in total.

“The Fall-Off, a double album made with intentions to be my last, brings the concept of my first project full circle. Disc 29 tells a story of me returning to my hometown at age 29,” he wrote when revealing the album’s tracklist on Instagram Wednesday (Feb. 4).

Cole continued: “A decade after moving to New York, accomplishing what would have seemed impossible to most, I was at a crossroads with the 3 loves of my life; my woman, my craft, and my city. Disc 39 gives insight into my mindset during a similar trip home, this time as a 39-year-old man. Older and a little closer to peace.”

When The Fall-Off was just hours away, the North Carolina native intensified hype surrounding the project with a trailer on Thursday (Feb. 6), which found Cole back in the makeshift studio of his childhood home that ignited his love for rap. The clip was soundtracked by a speech from English mathematician Andrew Wiles, and how he found beauty in the suffering through his labor of love.

J. Cole announced the album officially in January and released his “Disc 2 Track 2″ single, which saw him cleverly rap about his life’s story in reverse.

Cole rang in his 41st birthday on Jan. 28 with a surprise, as he dropped the Birthday Blizzard ’26 EP, which packaged four hard-hitting freestyles that were hosted by DJ Clue.

There’s been plenty of pump-fake retirements throughout rap history, but Cole is intent on The Fall-Off being his goodbye album. If this is indeed the finish line, what a ride it’s been.

Bethany Cosentino, best known as the frontwoman of indie pop-rock duo Best Coast, is speaking out after the latest release of files in the case of serial child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein revealed that Casey Wasserman, the founder and CEO of her booking agency, Wasserman Music, had a close relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted sex trafficker and Epstein’s main accomplice.

In an Instagram post published Thursday night (Feb. 5), the singer-songwriter made a series of demands, including calling for the removal of her and her band’s name from the agency’s website; for Wasserman to step down from his post; and for the business to change its name to erase the imprint of its founder, who oversees an agency that represents such superstars as Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, SZA, Noah Kahan, Chappell Roan, Lorde and Kenny Chesney.

“It has come to my attention that the founder and CEO of my agency, Casey Wasserman, had a documented romantic relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell between the years of 2001 and 2003, and multiple documented connections and communications with Jeffrey Epstein confirmed by emails now part of public records,” Consentino wrote. “Ghislaine Maxwell is not a neutral character in a messy story — she is a convicted sex trafficker who helped facilitate the abuse of minors. As an artist represented by Wasserman, I did not consent to having my name or my career tied to someone with this kind of association to exploitation.

“Staying quiet isn’t something I can do in good conscience — especially in a moment when men in power are so often protected, excused, or allowed to move on without consequence. Pretending this isn’t a big deal is not an option for me.”

In a tranche of more than 3 million files related to the Epstein investigation released by the Department of Justice on Jan. 30, Wasserman, who launched the powerful agency in 1998, was found to have exchanged dozens of flirtatious emails with Maxwell in 2003. More than two decades ago, several years before Epstein’s crimes were known to the public, New York reported that Wasserman and his then-wife, Laura Ziffren, flew on Epstein’s plane on an AIDS fact-finding mission to Africa in 2002 — a trip that also included such luminaries as President Bill Clinton and actors Chris Tucker and Kevin Spacey.

The emails between Wasserman and Maxwell revealed a flirtatious, perhaps sexual, relationship between the pair. In one email dated April 1, 2003, Wasserman wrote, “Where are you, I miss you. I will be in nyc for 4 days starting april 22…can we book that massage now?”

In another dated March 16, 2003, he wrote, “So what do I have to do to see you in a tight leather outfit?”

On Jan. 31, a day after the release of the latest round of files in the Epstein case, Wasserman — who also serves as chair of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics organizing committee — sent a statement to The Hollywood Reporter apologizing for his involvement with Maxwell while denying “a personal or business relationship” with Epstein himself.

“I deeply regret my correspondence with Ghislaine Maxwell which took place over two decades ago, long before her horrific crimes came to light,” Wasserman said. “I never had a personal or business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. As is well documented, I went on a humanitarian trip as part of a delegation with the Clinton Foundation in 2002 on the Epstein plane. I am terribly sorry for having any association with either of them.”

Cosentino bristled at that apology in her Instagram post, calling Wasserman’s words insufficient. “Regret without accountability is just damage control — an attempt to move on while the rest of us are expected to sit with the discomfort of our careers being publicly tied to him,” she said.

“Artists are tired of swallowing scandals like this,” Cosentino continued. “We are tired of learning, over and over, that men who control access, resources, money, and so-called safety in our industry are given endless grace. We are tired of being asked to treat proximity to something horrific as an unfortunate situation we should simply move past — especially when the person involved still holds all the power. And we are tired of watching harm minimized or brushed off as ‘a long time ago,’ while the impact of that harm is still very real, especially for women and survivors of sexual assault.”

Later in the message, Cosentino indicated that she intends to continue her professional relationship with her agent at Wasserman, Sam Hunt, stating that she has worked with him “for over 15 years” and that he “has done incredible work in representing me.

“I am in the Sam Hunt business,” she wrote. “I am not in the Wasserman business.”

Representatives for Wasserman did not immediately respond to Billboard‘s request for comment.
