“So, let me ask you this.” Bobby Cannavale starts our interview with a question posed to me. It’s Saturday in midtown Manhattan, the morning after The Irishman—Martin Scorsese‘s long-gestating mob opus—had its long-awaited world premiere with two screenings: one in the morning for the press and a star-studded red carpet event at night for Scorsese, the cast and […]
Even the best minds need a little something extra to get them through the day. It’s a digital kind of world, and we’re just trying to live in it, but Silicon Valley-based tech executive John Imah is one of the few geniuses chosen to create it – and we just want to know his secrets. […]
Nomadic music-maker Jess Smyth—better known as the rapper and singer Biig Piig—is deeply connected to the music she makes, with her heady jazz aroma giving off sweet nostalgia. Silencing background noise, Jess’ voice focuses the mind, awash with a refreshing clarity: tinged with a kind of subtle melancholy, her sing-song lyrics are understated and her sentiments […]
Indie-folk singer Hak Baker recently released his mixtape, Babylon. Simultaneously caustic yet soft, emotionally open yet enigmatic, the East London native balances a lot in the unique sound he calls “G-Folk”. What that tends to mean in real terms is that he may be an unpretentious straight-talker, but he is by no means afraid to dig deep into his psyche. […]
Ed. note: This post includes spoilers for HBO’s Watchmen. The premiere of HBO’s Watchmen was watched by more than 1.5 million viewers on its first night across television and streaming services, the strongest debut performance for the network. To be frank, it should’ve been more. In a real-world where white nationalism makes the news in […]
The world of podcasting is evolving at a stunning rate. Once perhaps unfairly associated with a solitary individual with a laptop and a microphone chuntering away about some apparently fascinating unsolved murder, podcasts are now an entire industry and, believe it or not, the top tier are eyeing up Netflix’s throne for a takeover. Chief […]
It would have been completely understandable if Davido wasn’t able to turn up to the interview. But when he arrives he’s tired, but full of joy: his wife gave birth to his third child just this weekend gone and he’d arrived in Kensington after being at the hospital. He considers himself blessed—it was the first […]
The 61-year-old buyer of the world-record most expensive sneakers ever sold at auction—along with 99 other extremely rare pairs—isn’t a sneakerhead. In fact, the idea of investing in a massive collection of shoes hadn’t even crossed entrepreneur and Peerage Capital Group founder Miles Nadal’s mind until a Saturday last summer when a New York Post […]
“I remember Diddy telling me years ago that DatPiff put out bigger projects in the last five years than all of the major labels combined,” says Kyle “KP” Reilly, vice president of DatPiff. “And that was dead ass true.” When the music distribution platform entered the industry in 2005, it became one of the go-to […]
Spinoffs are one of Hollywood’s riskiest gambles—for every Frasier, there’s a Joey. Twenty years ago, Charisma Carpenter found herself at a crossroads familiar to most actors: job security, or take the risk that offered more rewards? The year was 1999, and the high school supernatural teen drama Buffy the Vampire Slayer, then in its third […]
