10 Toronto Artists to Watch Out For

Posted on:

Between Drake and our crack-smoking former mayor, Toronto has been put under a spotlight these past few years. The city itself has become the kid up the block that we all see but don’t really know anything about. Its artists are not only flourishing but growing in number. If there was ever a time to be making music in Toronto that time is now, but the success of the OVO Owl often overshadows the new artists from the city who are well worth paying attention to.

Premiere: Jed Nayef – “Diamonds in the Dirt”

Posted on:

New York-based singer Nayef’s vocals emit a worn quality, plain and coarsened to a point by life and time, seeming to draw more from rock performance than the alternative pop “Diamonds in the Dirt” suggests (though the song’s fuzzy, guitar-caked chorus points further to rock sensibilities). It’s the sort of voice that feels indebted to […] The post Premiere: Jed Nayef – “Diamonds in the Dirt” appeared first on Pigeons & Planes.

Dev Hynes Teases Orchestral Sketches On New Blood Orange Demo “Delancey”

Posted on:

Blood Orange AKA Dev Hynes‘ ensemble of one (as far as the studio is concerned) has been a bit quiet as of late. Perhaps its due to the fact that everyone and their mamas want a piece of Hynes in the studio.

OKP Style: Willow Smith Stars In A Stunning Photo Editorial For ‘CR Fashion Book’

Posted on:

[Photos by Lisa Eisner] Willow Smith isn’t all hooks and harmonies, folk. Today, CR Fashion Book (founded by former Vogue editor, writer and model Carine Roitfeld) unleashed a new photo editorial featuring the young heiress to Bel Air, who appears as the muse for acclaimed fashion photog Lisa Eisner. Already known for her keen sense of style (even in her adolescence,) the spread finds Smith draped in all kinds of lavish garb and working the lens like she’s been there before, all while ensconced gold plated and sequin blouses to peacock-print dresses to exquisite headdresses, probably better suited for an Algonquin high-priestess. And while it’s probably a nice…
