    Tinashe, Complex (2016) — RE-READ with Ross Scarano

    Tinashe, Complex (2016) — RE-READ with Ross Scarano

    Are you feeling lost? Confused? In the midst of a career or pesonal crisis? This is the episode for you. Tinashe is 22 and very much on  the pop star track, but nothing is enough. She doesn't know if she's doing enough, or wasting time, her management decides she can't have one day off without spiraling into an abyss of self-doubt. Editor extraordinaire Ross Scarano talks meeting Tinashe at her family home that day, sexism in the magazine industry and what he wishes he kept in. If you're a little directionless right now, this is a must-listen.

    Aaliyah, VIBE (2001)

    Aaliyah, VIBE (2001)

    It's time to Try Again, with Aaliyah. The angel among us is only 2022 and at the peak of her career — starring in 'Queen of the Damned,' topping the charts and dating hip hop moguls. In this profile, she frustrates a writer by setting firm boundaries that end up revealing a whole lot more about her than she might want to let on. We're memorializing the late, great Aaliyah and learning a lot about ourselves in the process.

    Also, we're reading your reviews! Talking our own celebrity encounters! Unraveling manic episodes! It's all here this week.

In her honor, we are also more candid than ever before — airing personal grievances, answering your questions and, for the first time ever, naming names. You gotta listen.

    Lana Del Rey, NYLON (2013) — Melissa Giannini

    Grab your flower crowns and hoop earrings girls, we're getting summertime sad with Lana Del Rey. The Americana dream girl incarnate is in her full Jackie-Marilyn era, living in the Hollywood hills as a hot 27-year-old with a rockstar boyfriend. We talk to Melissa Giannini, who spent time with Lana to capture her in the wake of Born to Die-backlash (remember the SNL performance??) and before Ultraviolence. Spoiler: Lana says she may never make music ever again. Let's Ride.
