Following our 2023 fashion round-up, the team reviews the year in music. We pick our personal faves, before debating the definitive song of the summer, hottest club anthem and best album. We also chat about disappointing blockbuster rap records from Drake and Travis Scott, Frank Ocean and Rihanna’s wobbly comebacks, the unstoppable rise of Sexyy Red and the inescapable hype of Fred Again. Tune in next week to hear us reflect on the year’s biggest and best films.

On this week's episode, The Face's editorial team charts the year in fashion from power moves at Burberry, Gucci and Louis Vuitton, to the emerging designers to watch and everything in between.

We've got a brand new magazine on the shelves. And so this week, the editorial team chats about interviewing Olivia Rodrigo in West Hollywood, spotlighting British South Asian talent, reporting on the happiness of teenage girls and documenting Doja Cat's loyal fandom. Print's not dead! Neither are podcasts! 

This week's episode is all about Emerald Fennell’s dark and cunningly comedic new thriller. Saltburn is wild ride with a red-hot cast (Jacob Elordi, Barry Keoghan, Archie Madekwe), brilliantly cringe-worthy ‘00s fashion and shocking sex scenes. Our editorial team chats about the soundtrack and film's satisfying satirical sting, before Archie calls in to talk about the honour of working with Fennell. 

Oh, and we’ve done our best to avoid spoilers – so you're safe to press play if you haven't seen the film yet.

In the Autumn issue of The Face, we published a story about Victory Lap – the London radio show which is broadcasting a new generation of open-minded rappers. For this week's episode, our music director Davy Reed chats to Victory Lap boss Joe McDermott and journalist Yemi Abiade about the strength of the underground scene, as well as the current state of UK drill and the contested "chill rap" label. Oh, and Joe gives us a review of his first time hanging out with our editor Matthew Whitehouse (they went to an Eric Cantona gig).

The British artist has edited In The Offing – a new group exhibition at the Turner Contemporary in Margate. He joins us to chat about Manchester’s music scene, his experimental NTS show, ‘90s adventures in New York, Margate’s class anxiety, being suspicious of art, his repulsion to Britpop and how The Face magazine won his heart.

Right before he played a show for THE FACE, we sat down with the much-loved NYC musician to chat about the Dimes Square music scene, giant rats, managing Frost Children, the lore of Fresher’s Week and his special connection with British wildlife. Not even a fire alarm could kill the vibe.
