PressPausePlay

The digital revolution of the last decade has unleashed creativity and talent in an unprecedented way, with unlimited opportunities. But does democratized culture mean better art or is true talent instead drowned out? This is the question addressed by PressPausePlay, a documentary film containing interviews with some of the world’s most influential creators of the digital era.

Def worth a watch, really good!

Lana Del Rey new kid on the block? 

Since her debut single – Video Games, It was hard to miss this beauty. Her throaty  voice and palpable sexuality have already generated some sort of cult following. It comes to no surprise that Lana has been signed to Next Model Agency, joining the likes of Alexa Chung and Arizona Muze.

Taking elements from the swingin’ sixties, with her blonde buffed hair and full, bee stung pout- is this doe eyed beauty our new muse or just a one night stand?
