Out with the old, in with the raw! On this edition of News It or Lose It, Zweli reacts to the seismic shift in Charli XCX’s discography. Her brand-new single, "Rock Music Now," has officially landed, and it is a massive departure from her hyper-pop roots. Is this a "News It" for the evolution, or are we missing the synth?

We also tackle the headlines surrounding the FIFA World Cup, where growing safety concerns are causing tensions to rise globally. We look at what this means for the fans and the tournament's legacy. Finally, we have a fascinating sit-down with Cat's Eyes. They open up about their radical new direction, explaining why they’ve chosen to ditch the studio polish in favor of a raw, authentic sound. It’s a deep dive into the courage it takes to stay true to your creative vision in an industry that loves a "perfect" finish.

Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli. He keeps you in the loop with everything from music and movies to sport and pop culture. 

Hear what the Word on the Street is, test your skills with the high-pressure 6 Out of 6, and get ready to be entertained.
