Apparel sales are expected to decrease by as much as 28-38% by the end of the year, making it one of the industries hit hardest by the pandemic. Thankfully, this seemingly detrimental trend may actually reflect a more positive shift away from fast fashion and its damaging effects.

Livestreamed and Quarantined: Thundercat

To be honest, I’m usually too caught up in Thundercat's groove to notice what he’s singing about. But something about this performance (or maybe it was the fact that I watched it four times in a row) made me truly listen to the lyrics for the first time.

Hope Tala’s ‘Girl Eats Sun’ provides daydreams without depth

Her new album, “Girl Eats Sun” (2020), continues to show her potential, not only through features with artists like sky and Aminé but also through her unique fusion of bossa nova and R&B influences.

HBO's 'The Undoing' has already been done
