Cortisa Star
In just three years, Cortisa Star’s gone from internet curiosity to viral rap phenomenon, picking up co-signs from Charli xcx and Doechii even making her runway debut at Miu Miu. So, where do you go after an accidental rise to fame?
August Ponthier
Across a trilogy of EPs and their debut album, “non-binary cowboy” August Ponthier has been on a crusade of musical self-interrogation.
Scout Willis
Los-Angeles based artist Scout Willis' music concerns itself with pleasure and self-discovery, accompanied by hints of psychology and myth. Her main source of inspiration? A life stationed in the overlap between artistry, style and culture.
Model/Actriz
Mischievous noise-rock band Model/Actriz quickly became known for their feral clangers and visceral live shows. But lately, it’s the symbiosis between band and crowd that’s really been on their minds. That, and another glass of French wine.
Keshi
Despite being somewhat of a lifesaver as an oncology nurse, keshi’s heart always belonged to music. And after two hit albums that landed him on the Billboard 200, his diaristic songwriting and gossamer vocals might just land him another, with a third album on the horizon.
Jazzelle
After a shaved head took her from clubnight kid to a muse enlisted by the likes of fashion giants Mugler, Jean Paul Gaultier, Rick Owens, Jazzelle kept her finger on the pulse. Her musical project SKUZLAND channels the same anarchic energy into a genre-warping sound brought up by Chicago's no-bedtime club culture. The secret to her artistry? A two-fingers-up approach to convention, permanently stuck at max volume.

Kelela
Kelela is many things. Perhaps most importantly, the Afrofuturist artist is a justice seeker. With her latest album, new avatar, she takes another sonic swing at dismantling the rigidity of genre by tackling them all.
Will Swinton
Will Swinton’s journey here was anything but straightforward. Things are simpler now, though, and touring with pop’s biggest acts – from Kid Laroi to Machine Gun Kelly – and some 100 million streams brings us to his forthcoming debut album.
070 Shake
070 Shake’s exploratory spirit has made her one of contemporary music’s most compelling shape-shifters. But she’s far more interested in making things than explaining them.
Lykke Li
Lykke Li calls herself the master of a French exit, so the announcement that her sixth album, The Afterparty, was to be her last felt out of character. As it happens, the alt-pop icon isn’t one to be bound by conclusions.
Sky Ferreira
Despite releasing just one album more than a decade ago, Sky Ferreira has achieved something increasingly rare: remaining culturally ever-present while being largely absent. Few artists of her generation have inspired quite so much conversation, speculation and mythology. So who is pop’s greatest enigma, really?
Noah Cyrus
It’s not easy being the youngest of a musical dynasty like the Cyrus clan. But 11 years after stepping out as an artist on her own accord, Noah Cyrus has made the most of her greatest heirloom: her family.

Maxx Morando & Liily
He’s the chillest dude, the sharpest drummer, and the loyalist friend. He’s also the husband-to-be of one of pop’s biggest stars of the century. So who really is Maxx Morando? And is his band, Liily, LA’s next big rock’n’roll phenomenon?
Tish Cyrus-Purcell
Long before Miley climbed the charts, there was Tish – a music aficionado and her children’s first fan. Now, after two decades mothering and managing one of the most successful entertainment families of the 21st century, the 59-year-old is reflecting on the wild ride.
A Lesson in underscores
April Harper Grey’s musical moniker, underscores, is a character that mutates as each album unravels. Next up: her unadulterated pop era.
The Making of Sofia and the Antoinettes
On her 8,533rd day on Earth, Sofia and the Antoinettes is thinking about legacy, luck and what it really means to live as if the curtain is always rising.
The Rise and Rise of Wesley Joseph
Artist and filmmaker Wesley Joseph pulled a disappearing act, vanishing for three years at the height of his early success. But now he’s back with his debut album, Forever Ends Someday, proving good things come to those who don’t rush.
A Love Letter To Dame Tracey Emin
As Tate Modern presents the largest exhibition of her work to date, friends and fans of Tracey Emin talk about how her radical honesty has irrevocably shaped theirs too.

Florence Hunt Is In Full Bloom
At 19, Florence Hunt is stepping into society, on screen and off. In Bridgerton, she’s Hyacinth, the youngest Bridgerton daughter biding her time as the belle of the ball. Off screen, she’s already the talk of the ton – and a Dior girl under Jonathan Anderson.
The Art and Soul of Gorillaz
25 years after their self-titled debut album spawned a digital revolution, the world’s best virtual band Gorillaz sit atop The Mountain on their ninth studio album. Inspired by their revolutionary trip to India in the wake of both their fathers passing, the record shows that, although Jamie Hewlett and Damon Albarn may be at the peak of their powers, they ain’t done climbing yet.
A League of Her Own
Actor Tanzyn Crawford has a knack for pulling it off. Her latest feat? A leading role in the Game of Thrones spin-off, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. What she can’t do, at this point, feels like the more interesting question.
Everyone Wants To Be Jess Alexander
Covering Wonderland's Spring 26 issue, British rising star Jess Alexander talks about working with Ryan Murphy on The Beauty.
Just Julia (Cumming)
On her self-titled solo debut, Julia Cumming steps out from the collective and into her own voice – reflecting on identity, misfit energy, and the New York upbringing that shaped her.
bar italia’s Cup Is Overflowing
bar italia chat Some Like It Hot, the year of touring that shaped it, and why taking PR too seriously will make you depressed.

Kehlani Is Out of Bounds

Led By No One
Fearlessly distinct in both sound and vision, Ledbyher has carved her own route to the forefront of the UK underground’s push toward global recognition.
The Trew Effect
As Charli xcx’s burnt-out assistant in A24’s fastest-selling limited-release, The Moment, actor Trew Mullen finds herself on the brink of one. Co-star Isaac Powell talks to her about self-tapes, cast karaoke, and on-set zoomies.
Akinola’s Headed for Something More
After 16 years in the industry, Akinola Davies Jr. has reached a career pinnacle that many only dream of – a BIFA-winning, BAFTA-nominated, deeply personal debut feature, My Father’s Shadow. Yet for the British-Nigerian filmmaker, it feels like a return to the starting line.
Who’s That LDN Boy?
With Saltburn and Lurker sharpening his ascent, Dior muse, London lad, and madcap actor Archie Madekwe arrives at a new threshold of attention: BAFTA-nominated. His friend, pop queen Lily Allen, gets the A–Z on arthouse cinema’s latest crush.
The Mic is On: Jake Shane
He’s a podcaster, comedian, actor, “therapist”, recording artist – and he really wants to be famous. Thankfully, despite what his self-deprecation tells you, his dreams have never been more in grasp.
