    Kate Ceberano Takes Us Behind Her 1990 Rolling Stone Cover Shoot | Behind The Rolling Stone Cover Ep.13

    The year was 1990. Australia’s music scene was buzzing with the energy of a new decade, and Kate Ceberano was at the heart of it. That August, the multi-talented singer, songwriter, actress, author, and visual artist graced the cover of Rolling Stone Australia in a feature titled “Behind Bedroom Eyes: The Real Kate Ceberano.” The cover, shot by Grant Matthews, wasn’t just another glamorous portrayal of a rising star – it was an intimate dive into the mind and spirit of a woman navigating her place in a rapidly evolving industry. In fact, Ceberano not only starred on the cover, she also penned the accompanying feature article, writing: “Rolling Stone wants the real Kate, the real me, from my most saintly philosophical views down to the hardcore dirt.” In the latest episode of ‘Behind The Rolling Stone Cover’, sponsored by Shure, Rolling Stone AU/NZ Editor-in-Chief Poppy Reid sits down with Ceberano to revisit her iconic 1990 cover and relive the stories and reflections that have shaped her four-decade-long career.

They dominated the 70s and 80s, before releasing their ‘final’ album, Twentieth Century, in 1984 before Jimmy Barnes hit the ground running with his mega successful solo career.

    Eric Nam’s K-Pop Story is The American Dream | Behind The Rolling Stone Cover Ep. 11

    Eric Nam might not be a household name to every pop fan in the Western World. And that’s kind of the point for him, as he pulls up a seat next to Rolling Stone AU Editor-In-Chief Poppy Reid to talk about his atypical start on the path to stardom, and what it means navigating the austerity of the K-Pop industry as an American. The Music Industry has, is, and will likely always be a difficult path for many. It can tear artists down as fast as it can confect stardom. And yet through all of its highs and lows, it will continue to offer opportunity for those whose talents, gumption, and business-minded tendencies will find a niche, and an audience. Case in point—Korean/American crooner Eric Nam. Behind The Rolling Stone Cover’ is sponsored by Shure, the premier choice for affordable, durable, and exceptional-sounding microphones. With a history of audio innovation spanning for almost a century, Shure has turned a passion for making great microphones into an unparalleled legacy of audio innovation.
