No longer wanting to be reduced to a mere fandom factoid, Cecile Believe is decidedly stepping out from the shadows that distinguished her last effort, 2020’s Plucking A Cherry From The Void. There, the artist—best known for her vocal acrobatics on collaborations with SOPHIE and A.G. Cook—emoted as she saw fit across dark electronic timbres, brimming with operatic bravado. Now, the perplexing, esoteric stoicism of her playful pen comes to light as part of the inductive approach behind her newest project, Tender The Spark. A luminescent reintroduction to electronic music, Believe is unquestionably blazing her own ecstatic visual world. ✒️ Miles Comer

Swap the pursuit of self-improvement for a quest for soul-enrichment. Think purpose-driven Japanese philosophies, Scandinavian social codes, and an Indian religion rooted in non-violence. For centuries, humanity has been chasing perfection: eternal youth, beauty, and glory. Never content with the ordinary, always striving for something better. Yet, in this relentless quest, it's surprising how little progress we've made. Obsessed with media, entertainment, and fleeting pleasures, people have settled for these distractions in their search for fulfillment. For those still unsatisfied, the drive for improvement has morphed into an obsession, raising questions about whether these pursuits truly enhance our lives. Pilates, matcha, 5 a.m. routines—though I’m a fan of all of the above—have become more than activities. They’ve turned into lifestyles, yet remain focused on self-improvement rather than shaping mindsets and guiding behavior. However, there exists an ocean of life-enriching philosophies to explore, from the Scandinavian Janteloven to Japanese life principles and Indian Jainism. These offer the promise of true improvement, not just surface-level changes, but a good dose of genuine soul-enrichment. ✒️ Jean Anna Grandjean
