Dazed – Page 3 – Beautifaire

It’s becoming increasingly more obvious that smartphones are causing us all serious problems – but why will we find it so hard to accept that? Sometimes, when puffing on an Elf bar and pinging through different apps in quest of a dopamine hit, I feel like a chimpanzee trapped inside some sick laboratory experiment. If I’m capable of make it through an episode of a TV show without glancing at my phone, it looks like a triumph of zen-like self-discipline, like doing an hour of meditation. So it never comes as a surprise when recent research suggests that smartphone usage is wrecking our concentration and mental health. By now, there's a solid body...

How Dazed and Confused Gave Us Matthew McConaughey’s Vibe

Filmmakers have long been drawn to “the Texan” as a personality type.

Raye’s declaration of independence | Dazed

Free from her label, the south London pop siren has soared to the highest of the charts. Ahead of her album release, she discusses her newfound independence, the stories behind her ‘visceral’ recent tracks, and why her self-confidence has never been higher When Raye climbed to primary with “Escapism” earlier this month, it wasn’t just deserved, but deliciously ironic. The wildly talented singer-songwriter spent seven years on a serious label chasing hits that got here, all too often, on the expense of her own musical identity. At an intimate gig in London last October, she sang her massive 2021 house banger “Bed”, a collaboration with DJ-producers Joel Corry and David Guetta that's now...
