Gossling ‘Harvest of Gold’

Alexa Chung ‘It’

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

Many will recognise Gossling – a.k.a Helen Croome’s distinct voice, her catchy chorus the standout feature on 2011’s summer anthem Boys Like You by 360.

This summer, the Melbourne singer/songwriter is back with her debut-album, Harvest of Gold – a quietly confident jewel of an album that’s a likely backdrop to many balmy evenings.

Alexa Chung is the high priestess of festival fashion, a one-woman trend setting, fashion machine and if you haven’t heard of her, it’s likely something in your wardrobe is there because of her influence. ‘It’ – aptly named because of said global style influence and her unofficial status as fashion muse to any designer worth their salt – is a light read, and would be the perfect beach read for the coming sunny months.

We weren’t alone in falling for feisty heroine, Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence), in the first instalment of the popular adaption of the literary trilogy by Suzanne Collins, but we weren’t sure if the sequel would end our love affair, as they often have a habit of doing. It hasn’t.

And while soulful sweet lyrics and saccharin vocals might not be everyone’s cup of tea, it’s the perfect brew for road-trips and summer nights with your trusty gal pals.

There is much to love about the followup to Hunger Games – in fact, the groundwork done by the initial slick-action blockbuster in setting up the thriller now gives Catching Fire the room to expand the storyline and build the characters. The momentum and intensity is still relentless, but the jerky camera movements are less severe. Perhaps we’re de-sensitised to it now – expectations set by the first one – but it’s less shocking and confronting, even if it’s still violent and cruel. What’s more apparent is your emotional investment in rooting for Katniss as she finds herself with a seemingly insurmountable fight on her hands having unwittingly inspired a revolution in the Districts. President Snow (Donald Sutherland) is keen to eliminate her and quell any uprising. Basically – he’s onto her, and is not a happy camper and devises an amped up version of the 75th Hunger Games – it’s like an All Stars, all-ages version. Alliances between tributes are all the more important, and the love triangle continues – the whole saga ending on another cliff hanger, setting things up nicely for the next one. And we can’t wait.

SANITY $21.99

NOW SHOWING AT GREATER UNION Prices vary

The title track is a gorgeous mash of electronica and percussion with hauntingly vulnerable vocals but with a glorious, soulful quality that – when paired with catchy lyrics – give it a delicious pop-edge that will see it reach high commercial rotation.

With Sparkadia’s Alex Burnett featuring on Songs of Summer – an ode to heartbreak and lost love, to Challenge, a faster-paced number with a touch of disco beats, this album possesses all the heart-aching chapters of love and loss, highs and lows.

Part photo diary and part inspired ramblings on her influences and eclectic style, this highly personal read is warm, engaging and witty – making fashion seem accessible and unattainable all at the same time. The perfect Christmas gift for any aspiring fashionista, this book won’t change your life, but it will sure make it prettier.
