Doughnuts and more doughnuts

ART DIRECTION & GRAPHIC DESIGN

With doughnut shops popping up left, right and centre, we’ve literally been eating our weight in Nutella-filled, doughy goodness.

Word on the street is we’ll be giving away a year’s supply of Doughnut Time doughnuts this month. Make sure you keep your eyes on fashionjournal.com.au/win for delicious updates.

Attempting to get fit We had to do something to counterbalance all those doughnuts.

So we’ve been thinking pretty hard about fitness. We explored the possibility of getting a gym membership (without following through) and started a health section on the Fashion Journal website. Because thinking about fitness equals being healthy, right? You can see all the FJ #fitspo at fashionjournal.com.au/health Saving money Tightass Tuesday, the No-Spend Challenge and living off instant noodles. We’ve tried it all. Unfortunately we can’t seem to make our saving habits apply to new clothing. Or shoes. Or bags. You can see our problem. That’s why we’ve started the FJ Sales Guide. It’s a directory of all the sales happening at the moment, so you can keep up to date with where to shop when you shouldn’t be spending. facebook.com/FJSalesGuide @fashionjournalmagazine

The Scoop

Sandro Paris Melbourne’s newest high-end shopping complex, St Collins Lane, has officially opened. We're especially excited by the news, because it means Parisian brand Sandro has opened its first Australian standalone store. With a reputation for clean lines, refined sophistication and a hint of androgyny, Sandro promises to seamlessly fit into the Melbourne retail scene.

St Collins Lane is located at 260 Collins Street, Melbourne VIC stcollinslane.com

Lack of Color Edging us closer to finding the perfect winter head warmer is Lack of Color. The Aussie label and fine hat makers have just released their new collection. Remember When tips its hat to vintage classics such as the fedora, boater and Western cowboy styles, and has revamped them with new textures, colours, clean finishes and statement ribbons. And to further excite our noggins, the collection also includes limited edition hats with 1950s vintage ribbon, sourced from France and Germany. lackofcolor.com.au

Diesel Diesel knows a thing or two about denim. But their latest collection proves they can do much more.

They’ve mixed not-so-signature denim pieces with paisley prints to create some serious ’70s vibes. The SS16 range sees patchwork denim stitched across pinafore dresses, men’s shirts and handbags. But it’s the cool contrast between paisley print pieces, splashes of tie-dye and hardcore leather jackets that tie Diesel’s latest collection all together. It's bringing back the ’70s in all the right ways. au.diesel.com

Timberland Calvin Klein Calvin Klein has been collaborating with artist after artist for its #mycalvins campaign.

Big names including Justin Bieber, Kendall Jenner and Kendrick Lamar have all had their #mycalvins moment. But one of our fave collabs to date is with FKA twigs. The widelyacclaimed slashie (she's a singer/ songwriter/producer/dancer/ borderline contortionist) has collaborated with the brand for a series of strikingly beautiful campaign images. The artist also self-directed a short film for the campaign, which shows twigs moving in ways we always knew she could. calvinklein.com

Known (and loved) for its sturdy yellow boots, Timberland is also kicking goals in the clothing market. Adding to its burgeoning menswear line, Timberland has announced a new women’s apparel range. It aims to mix fashion and practicality, with the first drop covering coats and vests for the coming winter months. The standout is the Cherry Mountain quilted jacket. The minimal silhouette features insulation for warmth, without the bulk.

Available in black, haute red and alloy grey, there’s a shade for all seasons and personalities. You can shop the Cherry Mountain jacket now, exclusive to Timberland stores.

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Weekend Edition Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia is filled with exclusive runways and events that, unless you’re an editor, celeb or influencer, you’re probably never going to see.

You’ll have the opportunity to mingle with industry insiders while picking up tips to expand your skills. This year, the program will include talks with fashion icons, style sessions and even a runway photography masterclass.

BNKR BNKR is already ruling the online world, with demand for its online offering soaring. Americans seem to have taken the hint, with Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid and other starlets spotted in their labels. So, it was only natural that BNKR’s second flagship store was launched in Downtown LA. The newly opened BNKR DTLA offers a full range of much-loved, all-Australian brands like C/MEO Collective, Finders Keepers, Keepsake, The Fifth and Jaggar Footwear. fashionbunker.com

Yin and Yang

Trying to suss if she’s an undercover diva, we asked how long it takes her to get ready in the morning.

“On a gig day, I’m famous for changing my mind at the last minute. But on a normal day it doesn’t take long. I’ve gotten to the point where I like everything in my wardrobe anyway.”

As for the worst trend she’s seeing around Melbourne right now?

You already know the name Ella Hooper. Be it from her regular radio gig (maybe), dark-pop music (probably) or past life as the Killing Heidi frontwoman (most definitely), hers is a name most people recognise with a nostalgic smile.

It’s been nearly 20 years since her ‘Weir’-singing days, so unsurprisingly, Ellla Hooper is trying to step away from her Killing Heidi past. (Which, for the record, is near impossible. They were awesome).

Along with the double EP, Ella has released merchandise that’s a little cooler than any we’ve seen so far. She’s dropped two nail polishes: one silver and one blood red.

But it’s clear Ella has successfully redefined her sound to something a little more grown up. It’s due in no small part to the fact that she’s been writing this whole time.

“At first I was thinking green for Venom, along the lines of poison and envy. However after consulting a friend, she saw Venom as blood red. We had a bit of a pow-wow and I’m so glad I changed it. The New Magic shade is a delicate, soft silver. They look really awesome together.”

“I never actually stopped. I’m always writing. I see the world through a musical lens, so I build up a back catalogue of songs that I’m constantly writing.

When the amount of songs boil over, I know it’s time to make a new EP. ”

That said, Ella is more of an SNS girl herself.

And that she did. Next month the singer is set to release a strong double EP, Venom/New Magic, which Ella describes as “yin and yang.”

“I love SNS. I’m blessed with my mother’s strong nails and they grow so fast, so I love to chuck on some SNS. I wish I could have them long and pointed but I play the guitar so I have to chop my nails all the time.”

“Venom is charged with more negative energy, whereas New Magic is filled with much more positive, moving on, turning the corner-type of stuff.”

With a preference for claw-like manicures and cosmetics over standard merch items, we wondered if perhaps Ella is a little more high maintenance than she seems.

10

“I’m a bit over normcore to be honest, but I know it sort of suits everyone. The same with plain white sneakers that every girl in Melbourne wears.

Anything that goes to ‘uniform proportions’ drives me a little insane.”

Chatting to Ella, we can see there’s this nonconformist spark to her; something a little more rebellious. Seeking to push that button, we asked her for the naughtiest thing she’s ever done.

“Back in the day when lived in the country, I used to say that I was going on work experience in the city. But I was really just visiting my boyfriend and staying with him all week. Sorry Mum.” Of course we had to ask if there’s a Killing Heidi reunion on the cards.

“Probably no. No reunion. As I’ve gotten older I’ve learnt to appreciate that time and those songs, but I’m very much a person that looks to the future.”

Venom/New Magic is out in June.

Melburnians can catch Ella Hooper at The Gasometer in Collingwood, performing every Wednesday in May. Stay tuned for national tour dates. /EllaHooperOfficial

FJ FE ATU RE

Farewell Sunday Best ILLUSTRATION BY TWYLAMAE

Are our overflowing wardrobes destroying the value of fashion?

BY AM Y CAMPBEL L I am a child of the fast fashion generation.

I know what it feels like to buy a T-shirt the price of a ham sandwich or piece of chocolate cake. I know what it feels like to stare into the soul of my undeniably abundant wardrobe (cultivated by years of working in retail) and declare I have nothing to wear. I also know what it feels like to be seized by the temptation of a new purchase every time a special occasion arises.

To be honest, it doesn’t feel that outlandish. These are the consuming, dressing and disposing-of habits that we, children of the fast fashion generation, have come to know as ‘the norm.’

We fear the commitment contained in investments and turn in solace to cheap, impulse buys. Sound familiar? After one or two wears, the ‘must-have’ hits the back of the ’drobe and meets its premature demise.

You could call it a contemporary wardrobe crisis. In fact, Clare Press, fashion journalist and author of upcoming title, Wardrobe Crisis: How We Went From Sunday Best to Fast Fashion, already has.

When working on her book, Clare unearthed a closetful of disturbing statistics. “In 1930 the average American woman had nine outfits. In 2015, the average American woman had 30,” she tells me, remnants of concern evident in her decorous British accent. “That’s one outfit for every day of the month.”

12

Gulp. I think back to my fruitful wardrobe and realise it probably rivals that of this average American woman, whoever she may be.

“As a society, we own more clothes today than we ever have before. And no one’s telling us to stop. We’re like greedy kids in a sweetshop,” Clare continues.

Again, gulp. I think back to designer warehouse sales I’ve attended with relentless competitive flair.

I’ve been that kid in the candy shop. We’ve all been that kid.

Recently, my Grandmother complimented me on my outfit. It reminded her of a favourite wool pinafore she used to wear on special occasions.

I brushed her admiration off and replied apathetically with something like, “it was really cheap, I just bought it because I needed something to wear.” She couldn’t believe it was an acrylic imitation purchased for $35 online. And despite my reasoning, neither could she understand why I would buy clothing simply for the sake of it. When she was my age, she saved up for six months to buy that wool dress. It was her Sunday best.

It was about this time I was struck with a pertinent thought: is fast fashion rendering our Sunday best extinct?

I ask Clare to elaborate on the concept of Sunday best. I'm interested to know why she chose to include this seemingly archaic concept (in the 1800s it referred to a churchgoer’s finest attire) in a title that explores the ethics behind what we wear.

“Years ago, our definition of ‘best’ was far different from what it is today. It was the outfit in our wardrobe that was the least darned. Perhaps the one that was handmade. It was the one you treasured more than anything else,” Clare explains.

She admits it seems a “really old fashioned phrase”, but its relevance here lies in the changing relationship between the contemporary consumer and their ‘best.’

“How can we possibly have one ‘best’ today, when fast fashion allows us to have 20 different ‘bests’ at any given moment?”

It’s sad, but true. How can we, children of the fast fashion generation, foster a relationship with one particular ensemble that is intimate, appreciative, and most importantly – offers connection with the garment’s maker, when we all have brimming closets worthy of Carrie Bradshaw?

The answer, according to Clare, is in the selfdiscipline of the consumer. Sure, our Sunday attire today is more athleisure than elegant, but that doesn’t mean our consumer habits should stop us valuing fashion the way it should be valued.

It should be valued like a piece of art. A financial commitment with which you are smitten. A unique creation that took many hands (and litres of water) to make. Not a ham sandwich or a piece of cake.

FJ VANS PARK SERIES

Off the Wall PHOTOGRAPHY SAM WONG

WORDS ELIZA SHOLLY

There’s no denying that skateboarding is a massive part of Australian culture. It’s one than spans fashion, sport and lifestyle. Whether you’re a pro boarder or your knowledge of skating extends as far as the lyrics of an Avril Lavigne song, it’s pretty likely you’ve owned a pair of Vans in your time.

Last month we headed down to the Vans Park Series, a men’s and women’s competition promoting participation in skate culture. Held at Melbourne’s St Kilda Bowl, the contest showcased the best in terrain skating. The day saw an incredible amount of talent, a few injuries and more Vans than a Damn Daniel video.

St Kilda was just the first stop for the global tour, with the competition continuing in Brazil, Vancouver, California and Sweden. We stole three of the contenders for a five-minute chat between skates.

CURREN CAPLES How did you learn to skate?

There were older guys in my neighbourhood. I was four [years old] and just wanted to do what they were doing.

What does a typical day look like for you?

I usually wake up and go surf (if there is any) and then figure out where to skate.

What is the best piece of advice someone has given you?

Keep it fun. That’s why I’m happy I surf too. Every day is different.

What is the key to a good skate shoe?

It has to be thin and have waffle grip.

Do you prefer surfing or skateboarding?

It goes back and forth some days. If the surf is so good, it’s hard to do anything else. Other days, it’s fun skating with my friends.

Is your skating style similar to your everyday style?

I think so. I like to be comfortable and maybe that’s why I skate.

AARON ‘JAWS’ HOMOKI How do you muster up the courage to clear such large drops?

You don't think, you just go. If you think too hard, then the fear starts to take control.

How did you get the nickname Jaws?

I used to have braces on my teeth and one of my buddies said I looked like Jaws from the film 007 Moonraker.

What is your dream trick to land?

It would probably feel cool to do a double backflip.

What was it like touring with Tony Hawk?

Is he as good as the video game?

He is the man! And yes, he skates just as good in real life as in the video games.

What’s in your everyday wardrobe?

Whatever I pull off the ground that smells clean.

PEDRO BARROS Where is your favourite place in the world to skate?

I do love to be home; the RTMF private backyard bowl in Florianiopolis, Brazil, is the best for me. But any session with my friends can be the best place. It just needs to have loud music, friends and beer.

What is the skating culture like in Brazil?

Very intense! A place like the RTMF either becomes something you do skate, or a scene you will be around anyway.

If you weren’t skating, what would you be doing?

I surf. So if I weren’t skating for life, I would be surfing for sure.

What is your guilty pleasure?

Eating sweet stuff !

ALAS the Label We’ve got a new excuse for you to stay snuggled up in bed this winter.

ALAS the Label has released its new collection, Midnight Musings, and it’s everything you didn’t know you wanted in sleepwear. We’re talking boxy fleece pullovers, swing nighties and matching underwear (so you can feel classy when you wear undies to bed). But that’s not why we love ALAS. The brand is committed to creating sustainable garments, with all textiles ethically made from 100% certified organic cotton in fair-labour factories. This is how you get a good night’s sleep. alasthelabel.com

Piyama

Le Lux Linen

While saying Piyama Pyjamas might be a tongue twister, this label’s approach to sleepwear isn’t so complicated. Inspired by tropical summers, the mother-daughter duo behind Piyama create pieces that evoke a feeling of luxury. Designed in Australia and handmade in Bali, the versatile range covers high-quality sleepwear, loungewear and beachwear. Natural, soft flowing fabrics featuring exclusive textile designs are handcrafted into dreamy, feminine ensembles. With wearability and comfort central to the design process, Piyama’s garments are made for the bedroom and beyond. Perfect for those (sometimes rare) days of serenity. piyama.com.au

We spend a lot of time in bed, so we may as well do it right. Le Lux Linen is showing us how to make bedtime even better – yes, it’s possible. The label has everything, from sheets to quilt covers, in a range of delicately washed-in colours for all sized beds. Created from the finest French flax, the 100 per cent pure linen boasts some serious health qualities to promote a good night’s sleep. It contains filtering properties, meaning it’s anti-bacterial and ventilated. It even absorbs moisture build-up, is hypoallergenic and does not pill. Sleep is looking too good. Literally. leluxlinen.com.au

Natalija

Celeste Tesoriero

Natalija makes contemporary silk nightwear that you shouldn’t just wear at night – think slips, kimonos, pants, shorts, the works. The latest collection, Opulence, delivers a new mood to the brand’s graceful silhouettes with intricate prints, geometric patterns, jewel tones and trimming details. Opulence also sees the introduction of a nightshirt (yes please) and mid-length robes. To make it even better, the Sydneybased label is dedicated to ethical production, so the PJs are good for your comfort levels and good for the people who made them. Don’t restrict sleepwear to the bedroom when your jammies are this nice. natalijathelabel.com.au

Truth be told, being caught in your oversized, hot pink flannelette pyjama set isn’t fun. Especially when it’s 2pm on a Sunday afternoon and you already should be dressed. But making us feel less guilty about our lifestyle choices is Celeste Tesoriero. The Australian designer has released a sustainable loungewear range that’s a lot nicer than your current PJs. On offer is a selection of linen pieces in cool neutral shades and pinstripe prints. Think classic shirt styles, jumpsuit sets and Hugh Hefner-level robes.

These may just have you preaching the words: "I woke up like this." celestetesoriero.com

In the Sac In the Sac is giving you another incentive to sleep in. Producing a range of 100 per cent pure linen bedding, In The Sac offers quilt sets, sheet sets, pillowcases and coverlets in earthy tones. Ensuring the linen is of the highest quality, the fibres are grown and woven in the Netherlands exclusively for the brand. This really is luxury bedding. And they come in a sack too, because of course. If you’ve ever wanted to be better in the sac, In The Sac can certainly help you out with some quality sheets. inthesac.com.au

Bobby has just entered the Melbourne accessories scene and we couldn’t be happier. Launched in April, the label’s nine-piece, 100 per cent leather collection offers large shoppers, over the shoulder styles and purse-sized bags, together with a backpack and travel wallet.

Each piece is handcrafted by Indian artisans who use a 200-year-old vegetable tanning process, to prevent colour fading and mould growth.

Attention to detail is key, with custom red interiors and matte zip closures. Bobby’s signature hexagonal style proves the label’s got a fresh approach to leather, that’ll keep it around for a long while to come. bobbyleather.com

Q: What’s better than mini cupcakes with ample icing?

A: Fallen Apple’s mini cupcake key rings with ample icing. But the cuteness doesn’t stop there. Fallen Apple offers a vast array of colourful, still-life jewellery from retro TV studs to balloon bunch necklaces.

Carving these geometric shapes is Tweed Heads-based Kristina. Inspired by all things cute and bright, Kristina started the brand in 2014 from a love of making little creations out of polymer clay. While seeing the brand grow has brought her much joy, Kristina’s favourite part about creating is being able to brighten someone else's day with some happy mail. fallenapplecreations.com

If you combine the best parts of Parisian style and Japanese minimalism, you get Eva’s Sunday. Made from quality yarn-dyed linens and cottons, the clothing label is all about relaxed, easy styles in a neutral palette. The label has ditched the strict seasonal approach to garment production, opting instead for a transeasonal range. Styles are continually designed and new pieces dropped throughout the year. But the beauty of this label is in the layering, with pieces from current and past seasons working together seamlessly. It’s a more conscious approach to fashion. evassunday.com.au

Proving basics don’t need to be, well… basic, is new Queensland-based label Grammar. The label is all for bringing attention to the finer details in fashion. Grammar’s head designer, Kat Walsh, has a background in sculpture and fashion studies. These skills are reflected in the unique construction of Grammar’s designs. The label’s first range, Flare: The Basics, balances mess and order using hand-frayed hems and asymmetrical cuts. The pieces disrupt the clean-cut lines of basic T-shirts and trousers. Designed with both men and women in mind, the collection of staples playfully balances masculine and feminine elements. grammarlabel.com

05 Birdie Cashmere

Birdie Cashmere knows a thing or two about cashmere and its lustrous qualities. The brand also understands that high price (due to limited availability and labour-intensive production) is a deterrent for many. The solution? A wool/cashmere blend that is as warm as the real thing, but with a much more reasonable price tag.

The label delivers super comfortable, light and cosy knits that you’ll want to live in every. single. day. And they’re designed for just that.

Styles are wearable and colours are versatile, with navy, grey marle and sandy beige dominant. This is the perfect start to your winter. birdiecashmere.com

06 RBCCA KSTR

Here at FJ we often get asked the following, deceptively simple question: “where can I find quality, minimal jewellery that isn’t too expensive?” We have a new answer: RBCCA KSTR. Namesake of silversmith Rebecca Koster, this jewellery label ticks all the aforementioned boxes, plus a few more. Each of Koster’s striking, minimal pieces is handmade in Melbourne from 100 per cent recycled sterling silver. She also uses ethically-acquired or synthetic stones in her pieces, because according to the designer: “no one can tell the difference and I’m not an asshole.”

Designs are both ethical and honest, with an element of toughness reflecting her evident straight-shooting nature. This is one to tell your friends about. rbccakstr.bigcartel.com

Designer Jaime works to enhance the physical qualities of natural materials, through geometric shapes and clean lines. Created in a range of colours and styles, these structured bracelets, earrings, necklaces and rings reflect Jaime’s architectural background.

Making [in]trigue’s jewellery one of a kind, is the option to customise each piece. Through the addition of gemstones or the inclusion of sculpted words or initials, [in]trigue ensures each design is a true reflection of you. in-trigue.com

Honey Ginger Toast is putting our favourite items onto accessories. Think doughnut brooches, eggs-on-toast earrings and solar system-themed necklaces. Made in Melbourne, all Honey Ginger Toast accessories are fashioned out of wood and laser cut into perfect little shapes.

The wood is painted three times, using non-toxic acrylic paint that has been custom mixed to create unique colours. The pieces are then twice coated with varnish to add a nice sheen. Honey Ginger Toast’s offerings are a little burst of fun, yet still sophisticated enough to wear with your Sunday best. etsy.com/shop/honeygingertoast

Think apricot lip tints, peach blushes, soft highlighters and other radiant shades to make you glow.

Napoleon Says...

Skin is in and the ‘no makeup’ makeup look is the best trick in the book. We love nothing more than looking fresh faced and radiant, but nailing that barely-there technique can be harder than it sounds. Thankfully makeup master Napoleon Perdis is here to help us out.

What nude makeup products should we all keep in our makeup bags?

A cleansing balm, to keep your skin clean, hydrated and smooth.

A concealer wheel, to disguise discolouration (like dark circles and redness).

Lastly, a nude eyeshadow palette is a great all-in-one product for contouring, highlighting, lining and filling in brows.

What’s the most important thing to remember when achieving the perfect ‘no-makeup’ makeup?

To ensure your base looks immaculate. Spend the most time applying your foundation, concealing any areas of concern and setting your base with a touch of powder.

What’s the key to flawless skin?

Flawless skin comes down to a strict skincare routine – cleansing both day and night, for example. This will allow for a clean and smooth complexion and ensures makeup and impurities are removed thoroughly, to avoiding clogging your pores.

What’s the secret to a minimal base that lasts the whole day?

Primer! No makeup look is complete without it. No matter what your skin type is, from dry and dehydrated to oily, a primer will act as a barrier between your skin and your makeup. It’ll ensure the makeup stays put, without the need to constantly touch up.

Can people with oily skin use serums?

Definitely! Serums are concentrated with anti-ageing ingredients, which helps keep skin looking youthful and prevents further damage (from factors like the sun and pollution).

WE HAVE A DEAL

WARDROBE CRISIS – HOW WE WENT FROM SUNDAY BEST TO FAST FASHION

BETTER THAN SEX

Natalie Reynolds

Clare Press

Samantha Trenoweth

I consider myself quite the negotiator. I rarely lose an argument and have long considered a career as a mediator my calling in life. In pursuit of sharpening my already razor-level skills, I read We Have a Deal. I quickly learnt I had no negotiating skills whatsoever.

An engaging and easy to read book (it had pictures, yay!), We Have a Deal entirely challenged my understanding of negotiation. It delves into human psychology while dishing practical advice using reallife examples, beyond closing business deals. Think convincing your sister to loan you that skirt or working out who’s buying the next round of espresso martinis.

Since reading this I’ve haggled on real estate contracts, shirked a month’s gym repayments and managed to score the last doughnut. How’s that for negotiation?

In today’s news that should come as no surprise to anyone: the state of the fashion industry is shite. Just how shite however, is unclear. At least to most. But Clare Press has done her research. Her book Wardrobe Crisis is a fact-heavy, eye-opening look the state of the industry today. Starting at the 1800s, Clare walks the reader through the steady historical decline of the fashion industry to the arguably hapless state in which we find it today. She exposes the lack of accountability and clarity in manufacturing; identifies the flow on effects to retail; and questions why companies rarely care to enforce ethics (hint: it’s because consumers don’t care). There’s so much info that if this were a uni textbook, it would be covered in yellow highlighter (and probably $200 more expensive). Study up.

Recently I downloaded Tinder. Not for personal use, but to swipe on behalf of my sister (hey Carla!).

It was hilarious, albeit a little depressing, with bios ranging from ‘willing to lie about where we met’ to ‘give me a reason to stop watching porn.’ In the age of digital hook-ups, it’s easy to say romance is dead.

So I was surprised when Better than Sex gave me a new perspective. A series of essays penned by strong, intelligent women, the book explores love and sex in the digital age from 13 different (and very valid) viewpoints.

I read about Tinder as a tool of empowerment and the romance of dating sites. I learnt that despite identifying as a feminist, I’m still bloody quick to judge. And I learnt that maybe women, too, want a reason to stop watching porn. And that’s just great.

ALBUM REVIEWS HOPELESSNESS

JUNK

LEMONADE

ANOHNI

M83

Beyoncé

HOPELESSNESS is the most politically charged pop album you'll ever hear.

Lyrically, it's an album of war, drone bombs, violence and climate change. But musically, it's actually quite the jam.

ANOHNI has always felt like an almost otherworldly force when it comes to music.She truly possesses one of the most unique and emotive voices in music today. Teaming up with producer Hudson Mohawke, she's moved into the world of electronic pop completely effortlessly. You might not even notice the lyrical content at first, but dig a little deeper and you'll discover ANOHNI is making pop music from another world. A conscious world where we can both dance and be aware of the climate we live in.

50

Oh M83, you're walking a very fine line. Album to album they've moved closer to ’80s shtick and with Junk, it seems they may have taken a step too far. Despite a couple of tracks that wouldn't feel out of place on 2011's Hurry Up, We're Dreaming, most of the new material sounds like a soundtrack to a parody John Hughes film. Highlights ‘Go!’ and ‘Solitude’ do stand out as propulsive, modern re-interpretations of early synth pop, but it’s steadily downhill from there. And not in a very good way. Lacking the usual energy and creative spark you'd come to expect from M83, Junk honestly feels rushed and aptly, considering the album title, it's just a bit of a mess.

Tidal, you've finally won me over. After months of bagging the streaming service, Beyoncé just had to drop one of the albums of year and stream it exclusively through Tidal. Lemonade is the definition of a modern pop album. Within hours, it had created its own online mythology, memes and almost universal acclaim. At the same time, Lemonade pushes pop into smarter, deeper territory with its broad range of production styles and musical references. This isn't even mentioning the visual side of the album – a mini movie that charts a (speculated) unravelling marriage and reunion. It's a beautiful piece of work and deserves recognition. Tidal has finally made some waves.
