British soulstress Jessie Ware’s new album Devotion dropped this week via PMR. Devotion merges RnB with dance and pop, resulting in a fluid stream of soulful tracks that are perfect for relaxing summer evenings.

Jessie is best best known for her 2012 single Running and previous collaborations with SBTRKT. Impressive production coupled with Jessie’s stunning voice have come together to create a tender album that sounds modern yet classical. Distortion is as soothing as putting aftersun on sunburn. The perfect album to unwind to. It looks like this 27 year old South Londoner is set to go far.

Minute Maid

from l to r : Louise Gray, Marc by Marc, Alberta Ferretti, Jil Sander, and Jill Stuart

Bold color presence this current season shows vibrancy with shades of dominant orange. Louise Gray chose a contemporary approach mixing aquatic references with bright shades of orange and patch work construction. While Alberta Ferretti exhibited a feminine touch with sheer elements and flowing silhouettes while Jill Stuart uses an idyllic silhouette to accentuate the brightness. Fresh vibes with a bright loose fitted trouser was Marc by Marc’s interpretation. Jil Sander used the bold orange iPad-lanyard to contrast against a severe all black wet look.

Film On the Road

Arts & CultureBlogMusic & Film

Filming a book that has cult status and been loved by generations is a risky business. Attempting to film an American classic is always a delicate undertaking. This year we’re set to see film makers boldly tackle some masterworks – an exciting prospect! One of the most interesting projects is On the Road, a film adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s seminal counter-culture novel.

VIDEO OF THE DAY – Jay-Z & Kanye West’s ‘Ni**as In Paris’

Arts & CultureBlogMusic & FilmTalentVideos

Hova and Yeezy have finally released a video to ‘Ni**as In Paris’, a song which asks the sartorial questions: “What’s Gucci, my ni**a? / What’s Louis, my killa?” and perhaps most importantly, “What’s that jacket, Margiela?” One of the biggest tracks from their massive, collaborative 2011 album ‘Watch The Throne’, the clip is composed predominantly of footage filmed during a tour stop at Los Angeles’ Staples Center. The rest is a kaleidescopic blur of lasers, strobe lights, hot models and obligatory shots of the City of Light. The bravest element of this Kanye-directed video, however, is a two-way tie between the use of live audio, something most artists in this age of Auto-Tune wouldn’t even dream of, and Yeezy’s leather kilt (skirt?) Bravery points for that one, indeed.

Last Night marked the fist time Brazilian shoe god, Melissa, has ever opened a boutique outside of Brazil. That’s right, Melissa Shoes is now here in New York City! Creative director Edson Matsuo worked with architects Domingos Pacascali and Moema Wertheimer to create an atmosphere that represents the city’s busy streets, and a sense of a canvas for products created by Melissa. What a beautiful place! Galeria Melissa houses some of her most recent collaborations with Gareth Pugh, Vivienne Westwood, Karim Rashid, Gaetano Pesce, and the Campana Brothers. Last night, artist Eli Sudbrack created a psychedelic video to be projected on the walls of the store, as well as a few installation pieces that were mind blowing!
