Ukraine's queer soldiers, mutant rage rap and the rise of buzzballs
We’ve got a brand new issue on the shelves and we’re very proud of it. So this week, we chat about some of our favourite features in the mag, including the cover story about LGBT+ soldiers fighting in Ukraine and an off-the-wall profile on the enigmatic rap star Yeat. Any other highlights? There’s the features with rage-pop hearthrob 2Hollis and red hot indie-dance duo Fcukers, as well as an in depth report on everyone’s favourite new high-percentage, spheric alcoholic beverage: the buzzball. Fancy a copy of the new issue? You can get it here.

Holding space for Kendrick Lamar
This week, Eni diverges from her usual fashion reporting to share her thoughts on Wicked and the delirious virality of the witch flick’s press tour. Tiffany and Davy zoom in on the intriguing details of K. Dot’s shock-drop album GNX before recommending Transa, a compilation which celebrates with the trans community with contributions from Sade and André 3000. With Charli in town for the Brat tour, we speculate on special guests and – of course – the plan for the after party.

Who’s headlining Glastonbury?
Tickets for the world’s biggest music festival sold out within 35 minutes, and now speculation about who’s topping the bill has reached fever pitch. So this week, we comb through the list of bookies’ favourites, including Olivia Rodrigo (too new?) The 1975 (too divisive?) and Rihanna (too rich?), and give our verdict on who we think deserves it the most.
Eni also gives us the run down on the new star-studded fashion campaigns: Miu Miu featuring Emma Corrin, Acne Studios featuring Charli and Burberry featuring – believe it or not – David Tennant. Jade explains the ‘Age Gap Autumn’ – the trend in film and TV which involves older actresses are being desired by younger male co-stars (it’s “hot and fun”, according to an article we’ve just published.)

We also salute the well-deserved winners of the American Fashion Awards before delving into American politics and the way musicians are influencing it. So which stars are in the blue corner, and how is Trump trying to capitalise on his complex relationship with hip-hop? Press play to hear our thoughts.
