The Forty-Five - Griff is sick of conveyer-belt pop

View this email in your browser

Hello,

What's been going on in your world this week? We finally watched Framing Britney Spears (now on Sky catch-up and Now TV) and it was as bleak as everyone reported. Since the documentary aired, the f ull Diane Sawyer interview has resurfaced, which sees the interviewer pour scorn on 21-year-old Britney for her clothes, her shitty ex-boyfriend and everything in between. In a world where Billie Eilish is publicly shamed for wearing a vest top, you have to wonder, have we really moved on?

Elsewhere, Haim have been cryptically teasing a Taylor Swift remix to their song, 'Gasoline' (released last night) and SZA has dropped some hints about her very-much-anticipated, new album (while on a break from planting trees).

Oh, and we caught up with our newest cover star. Would you like to meet her?

COVER STORY
Griff is the singer-songwriter-producer-fashion-designer, here to shake up the charts. She tells Rhian Daly about her aversion to "conveyer-belt pop" and how it felt when one Ms Taylor Swift, gave her a shout out on social media. Read the interview.

HOW YUNGBLUD BECAME KING OF THE PODS
