The internet sure does love a cat, as illustrated by games like Stray, and Copycat eagerly jumps on that bandwagon in its demo debut. Thankfully, that never feels gimmicky, and the Steam Next Fest sampling is packed with enough emotion to make the grumpiest grouch’s heart melt. Copycat illustrates a somber mix of both loss and belonging through Dawn, the cat, and Olive, an older lady who adopts her. Dawn isn’t receptive at all to her new home where even the ring of a telephone has the feline racing for cover. Before her…

‘You might not know what Virginia looks like,” says Oliver Anthony to a sold-out crowd in Glasgow. “But I’m writing about home, and it’s not much different from here.” Last year the ascendant country star, real name Christopher Lunsford, became one of the few unsigned artists to reach No 1 in the US, with Rich Men North of Richmond. An everyman screed against political elites, the song is quintessentially populist: it criticises both the wealthy and welfare recipients, and has been co-opted by Republicans, to Lunsford’s…

“It turns out the second album really is difficult,” says Katherine Priddy of this follow-up to her justly praised 2021 debut, The Eternal Rocks Beneath. The struggles of the Birmingham-born singer-songwriter are, however, not much in evidence.

In late 2023, the richest woman in the world became a centibillionaire. But she didn’t get there by building an online shopping empire or by selling sleek EVs. She did it the good old-fashioned way: by inheriting it. The scion of the French beauty brand L’Oréal, Françoise Bettencourt Meyers saw the value of her stake in the company shoot up during the rush of cosmetics and luxury fashion spending that’s taken place in the last few years. She’s far from alone in receiving billions from a parent. A recent report from the…

I worked at an upmarket boarding school for a while, living in the girls dormitory as a dorm matron. One of the girls was (we suspected) the daughter of a Russian oligarch and was obscenely wealthy and badly behaved. One of the biggest social events of the school year was a winter ball, and the girls had their dresses planned months in advance. The oligarch's daughter had a designer gold dress that she told everyone who would listen about how it cost 6k. Bear in mind she was just barely 14. Anyway a couple weeks…

Set in Malaysia between 1935 and 1945, Vanessa Chan’s impressive and assured debut offers a little-told perspective on a turbulent period of history.

Name: The Saltburn dance.Age: Spanking new: the film only came out in November.Appearance: Mansion-based disco.Are we still talking about Saltburn? Meh, I couldn’t see what all the fuss was about. Incisive criticism there; Peter Bradshaw can rest easy, I think. Anyway, not exactly. You know TikTok loves a dance craze?That’s pretty much the only thing I know about TikTok. And you remember the scene in Saltburn when Barry Keoghan’s Oliver dances naked through the eponymous stately home to the Sophie Ellis-Bextor banger…
