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. 

Eni also gives us the run down on the new star-studded fashion campaigns: Miu Miu featuring Emma Corrin, Acne Studios featuring Charli and Burberry featuring – believe it or not – David Tennant. Jade explains the ‘Age Gap Autumn’ – the trend in film and TV which involves older actresses are being desired by younger male co-stars (it’s “hot and fun”, according to an article we’ve just published.)

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.

Tyler, the Creator has dropped his Zamrock-sampling comeback single NOID and his new album Chromakopia is out on Monday. We’re excited, but since Tyler dissed the new generation of artists in a recent interview, has this once eternally-teenage maverick finally reached old head status? Press play to hear our thoughts.
