Entertain Me is the sophomore EP from Los Angeles-based glimmer rock artist Vienna Vienna (also known as J), released January 16, 2026 via PULSE Records and Pete Wentz's DCD2 Records. The six-track, 18-minute project is a sharp, shimmering collection built around the overstimulation and restless energy of modern life — what Vienna Vienna himself describes as "a tour of the distractions in life and how they affect our happiness," whether that be drugs, the internet, or something more tangible. The EP's title was born from a happy accident: Vienna Vienna had originally planned to name it Entertainment as a nod to Gang of Four, but Pete Wentz misheard the name on a call and offered back Entertain Me — a title that ended up capturing something closer to the sarcasm of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit," as J explained to SPIN.Sonically, the EP leans hard into groove and rhythm, with Third Coast Review describing it as "catchy, dancey bursts of rock that would fit perfectly on the dance floors of either 1982 or 2002," layered with "a slinky and playful sleaze" built for both clubbers and rockers alike. Tracks like "Idle Hands," "Buzz," and the single "Molly" (accompanied by an official music video) push the project into territory that balances queer joy and self-interrogation with an infectious refusal to sand down the edges. The EP follows Vienna Vienna's 2024 debut Wonderland and finds the artist moving into a louder, more self-aware phase — one that, as idobi put it, serves as "the soundtrack every young person needs to hear right now."
