Macy Gray : Sympathetic Opportunism

Music, X Scenes

To act on an opportunity or not: a deceptively simple choice governing our everyday existence.

As there is often a thin line that separates an act of “appropriate self-interest” [...]

Music, X Features

Lo Moon: Passionate Deluges & Silver-lined Crests

Profit-biased formulas, analytics-driven marketing and disingenuous role-based personas lie in direct opposition to an artist whose sense of self rests upon the importance of being genuine. Complicating matters are the actions of unscrupulous individuals who coax the artist into wearing a “better mask” instead of guiding the artist towards aligning with their true self. As [...]
