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 full 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?
