Beauty has long played an important role in the music industry. Think about the beauty looks of icons like Madonna, David Bowie, TLC, Courtney Love, among countless others. Their signature hair and makeup looks were synonymous with their musical personas. In fact, when you just read their names, you almost certainly pictured Madonna in one […]

The gold standard of celebrity profiles is “Frank Sinatra Has a Cold” by Gay Talese, published in Esquire back in April 1966, when Sinatra was arguably the most powerful celebrity in America. Unlike other celebrities at the time, he didn’t need the publicity; he didn’t need to be in a magazine. Sinatra created and sold […]

The night the news of Leonard Cohen’s death broke, I walked the few blocks from my apartment to join a crowd of Montrealers gathered at his doorstep, a vigil for the man we were all so proud to call one of us. Candles, letters, artworks, photos and faces encircled his home, the indelible mark he […]

Interesting fact: It turns out that, much like siblings who aren’t also band members, Tegan and Sara do spend time apart. Since we didn’t want Tegan to feel left out after our interview with sister and bandmate Sara Quin (and in honour of the Con X tour kicking off), we sent her some follow-up questions, which […]

When a band seems to embody the zeitgeist perfectly, it’s impossible to parse where culture’s influence on the band ends and where its influence on culture begins; it looks symbiotic and inevitable. Only, that’s hardly ever the case. Like with raising a child (or electing a president), all sorts of factors combine over time to […]

Another day, another country Justin Bieber is banned from. ICYMI, the 24-year-old singer is currently banned from China for “bad behaviour.” According to the Beijing culture bureau’s website statement “Justin Bieber is a gifted singer, but he is also a controversial young foreign singer.” (Which, come on Beijing, let’s avoid repetition in one sentence.) “As […]

What makes a great song? It’s hard to say. Rolling Stone has a definitive list of the 500 greatest songs of all time, but their picks are different from Billboard’s — and they’re probably different from yours. You might think Mariah Carey’s “We Belong Together” is number one, or you might think the top spot belongs to Taylor Swift’s “Shake it […]

Every summer, like clockwork, we all *try* to bestow the title of ‘The Song of the Summer’ on one lucky single. But unlike previous years when it was easy to pinpoint what that song was, we’re having a bit of difficulty naming this year’s winner. Could it really be Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito” […]

Ariana Grande, Kylie Jenner and Rihanna may be beauty icons for many, but for me, being of Asian descent and all, looking to them for hair and makeup inspo never really made sense. I’m not denying the fact that I still admire Ariana’s perfect cat eye or Kylie’s pillowy lips, but because the actual structure of […]

If you’ve never had the opportunity to see Adele perform live, it looks like it might never happen. (We know, never say never, but…) The 15-time Grammy award-winning songstress hinted that her 25 tour may indeed be her last. Earlier this year, the 28-year-old bravely spoke out about her stage fright and insinuated that she […]

The cool factor of rappers can be rivalled by pretty much nobody. They were the OG influencers when it came name-dropping luxury brands—Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Versace, Moet, Veuve, Hublot, Rolex, Dom Perignon…the list goes on. But now not only are these things mentioned not-so-subtly within the songs, but they’re also the actual name of songs. […]

After a drawn-out 10 months since the release of his music video for “Mercy,” Shawn Mendes is finally at it again. This time with the video for his current single “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back,” and it’s quite possibly the cutest thing we’ve ever seen. The video, which went live at midnight, stars the Canadian […]
