Photos and writing by Frances Edwards-Hughes. A rolled-out Persian rug, brass lamps to light up their pedals, stacks of shitty romcom books, and incense burning.

No Front Teeth? No Problem! Exploring the Life Obstacles and Mantras of French-Cameroonian Musician Yamê

Before you, dear reader, suggest it: no, it’s not Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, K-Dot or the “Swamp Princess” Doechii.

Have You Ever Been Part of a Singing Army of Elves?
By Lio Capellaro It’s a Tuesday night at Neumos Seattle, where Dora Jar is playing on her 2024 west coast tour. My friends and I enter the semi-packed venue, and face a sea of fairy queens and witches and wood nymphs that make up the crowd. Glitter faces, lace, neon hair clips are everywhere we…
