Show Notes
The Face Podcast is your weekly cultural digest, rounding up the stories that you should care about in film, fashion and music. This week, we discuss what happened the night before at Amelia Dimoldenberg's Valentines party, talk NYSW with a focus on Marc Jacobs, Miley Cyrus at The Grammys and explain TikTok’s dramatic battle with the music biz. We also call up the curator Hans Ulrich Obrist to chat about the first Barbara Kruger show in London for 20 years.
More from The Face Podcast
For our last podcast of 2024 we reviewed the year in music, debating the dressed musicians, the pop femininomenon, overrated albums, the most exciting newcomer, the secret to Brat's success and how to pronounce 'Mk.gee'.
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.
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.
You’ve probably heard all about Timothee Chalament gatecrashing his own lookalike competition. This week, Eni digs deeper to discuss the intriguing details - from the love that may blossom from the event, to the former Mr Beast protégé who masterminded it. 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.
This week, Davy reports back from his adventures in Newcastle, where THE FACE spotlighted local talent for the New Noise gig series. Our Branded Content Editor Joe Bobowicz is back on the pod to tell us all about Art Basel Paris, where Shuang Li celebrated her love of My Chemical Romance and Young Boy Dancing Group served snacks and refreshments in a very, erm, unconventional manner. Matthew shares his thoughts on Ali Abbasi’s questionable Trump biopic, The Apprentice, while Jade recommends Andrea Arnold’s Barry Keoghan-starring kitchen sink drama, Bird.
