RELEASES
Kim Petras has released the video for her Nicki Minaj collaboration ‘Alone’.
Alison Goldfrapp has released the title track of her new solo album ‘Love Invention’, which is out next week. “I was inspired by the idea of a machine or pill that gives you a feeling of complete euphoria”, she says of the track. “It’s also inspired by the quick-fix self-improvement culture you particularly find on social media that I find slightly humorous. I’m slightly cynical of it but fascinated by it as well”.
