    The best music of 2024

    For our last podcast of 2024 we reviewed the year in music, debating the dressed musicians, the pop femininomenon, overrated albums, the most exciting newcomer, the secret to Brat's success and how to pronounce 'Mk.gee'.

    Holding space for Kendrick Lamar

    This week, Eni diverges from her usual fashion reporting to share her thoughts on Wicked and the delirious virality of the witch flick’s press tour. Tiffany and Davy zoom in on the intriguing details of K. Dot’s shock-drop album GNX before recommending Transa, a compilation which celebrates with the trans community with contributions from Sade and André 3000. With Charli in town for the Brat tour, we speculate on special guests and – of course – the plan for the after party.   If you like what you hear, please feel free to like, subscribe or leave us a review.

    Who’s headlining Glastonbury?

    Tickets for the world’s biggest music festival sold out within 35 minutes, and now speculation about who’s topping the bill has reached fever pitch. So this week, we comb through the list of bookies’ favourites, including Olivia Rodrigo (too new?) The 1975 (too divisive?) and Rihanna (too rich?), and give our verdict on who we think deserves it the most.  Eni also gives us the run down on the new star-studded fashion campaigns: Miu Miu featuring Emma Corrin, Acne Studios featuring Charli and Burberry featuring – believe it or not – David Tennant. Jade explains the ‘Age Gap Autumn’ – the trend in film and TV which involves older actresses are being desired by younger male co-stars (it’s “hot and fun”, according to an article we’ve just published.) If you like what you hear, you should give us a like, a nice review and maybe even subscribe.

    Timothee lookalikes, CFDA awards and the music stars backing Harris and Trump

    You’ve probably heard all about Timothee Chalament gatecrashing his own lookalike competition. This week, Eni digs deeper to discuss the intriguing details - from the love that may blossom from the event, to the former Mr Beast protégé who masterminded it. We also salute the well-deserved winners of the American Fashion Awards before delving into American politics and the way musicians are influencing it. So which stars are in the blue corner, and how is Trump trying to capitalise on his complex relationship with hip-hop? Press play to hear our thoughts.

    Tyler, the Creator’s comeback, the Trump biopic and X-rated highlights from Art Basel Paris

    This week, Davy reports back from his adventures in Newcastle, where THE FACE spotlighted local talent for the New Noise gig series. Our Branded Content Editor Joe Bobowicz is back on the pod to tell us all about Art Basel Paris, where Shuang Li celebrated her love of My Chemical Romance and Young Boy Dancing Group served snacks and refreshments in a very, erm, unconventional manner. Matthew shares his thoughts on Ali Abbasi’s questionable Trump biopic, The Apprentice, while Jade recommends Andrea Arnold’s Barry Keoghan-starring kitchen sink drama, Bird. Tyler, the Creator has dropped his Zamrock-sampling comeback single NOID and his new album Chromakopia is out on Monday. We’re excited, but since Tyler dissed the new generation of artists in a recent interview, has this once eternally-teenage maverick finally reached old head status? Press play to hear our thoughts. This podcast was recorded at Red Bull London.

    The Met Gala, Frieze, and the best films at London Film Festival

    New week, new podcast. Eni may have returned from Paris but the fashion world keeps turning with news of the Met’s latest costume exhibition. Jade is here to give you her latest dispatch from London FIlm Festival (***** for Anora ). Joe Bobowicz, our Branded Content Editor, makes his pod debut to discuss Frieze London and who is chicer: fashion people or art people (art people, apparently). Oh, and we maybe sneak in a little discussion of Brat and It's Completely Different but Also Still Brat. Because it wouldn’t really be an episode of The Face Podcast without it, would it?  The Face Podcast is hosted by Matthew Whitehouse, produced by Hunter Charlton and recorded at Red Bull London.

    Joker, partying in Disneyland and the best music of the 2020s

    Eni’s back in town which means we get to hear about her highlights of fashion month, including Coperni’s Disneyland extravaganza, Cardi B’s French accent and bumping  (literally) into Queer’s Drew Starkey. We comb through Pitchfork’s best albums and songs of the 2020s, selecting some of our personal faves and speculating why it may be harder for talented musicians to blow up now than it was 10 years ago. And with Joker: Folie à Deux flopping hard into the cinemas, we assess whether or not the backlash is a bit overblown, and how the reaction might affect the acting career of Lady Gaga. If you like what you hear, please do prevent our own descent into Joker-like madness, by liking, subscribing or leaving us a nice review.

    Budots, Babygirl and Mustafa’s powerful debut album Dunya

    Editorial Assistant Tiffany Lai reports back from Mustafa’s live conversation with Dua Lipa, where the Sudanese-Canadian artist discussed the poignant themes on his stunning new LP Dunya. We also chat about Mustafa’s remarkable back story – from representing his Toronto housing projects with award-winning poetry as a kid, to fundraising for Gaza and Sudan with star-studded concerts – as well as his FACE cover story, written by mega author and poet Hanif Abdurraqib. If you’ve spent too much time on TikTok this year, chances are you’ve heard budots, the high-octane sound invented by Filipino artist DJ Love. We discuss the lore of DJ Love as well as his debut London set at Margins United festival. Oh, and Jade’s film tip this week is Babygirl, the steamy thriller starring Nicole Kidman and Harris Dickinson that’s destined to get everyone talking.
