Alongside Peace and JAWS, Swim Deep are one of the B-town boys preaching love and rock’n’roll happiness from Ozzy Osbourne’s hometown. For the Outspoken issue, we photographed the quartet for a very special champagne-fuelled karaoke session and asked them to sing the most gloriously, hand-on-heart personal anthem we could think of: R Kelly’s ‘I Believe I Can Fly’.

We think they did pretty well – do you? Other loud-and-proud musicians in our Outspoken issue include Swedish chanteuse Beatrice Eli, A&R favourite Rainy Milo and ex-New Young Pony Club keyboardist turned frontwoman Lou Hayter – and of course, Taylor Swift herself. Although we don’t know if she’s an R Kelly fan too.

Swim Deep’s debut album, Where The Heaven Are We, is due out on 29th July on Sony.

We’re all about simple, almost androgynous radiance for spring/summer. So for the Babes Issue, we photographed Select’s Flo Dron for a very special beauty shoot in the sparkly new Chanel boutique in London’s Covent Garden.

Why? Because Chanel Beauty’s creative director Peter Philips is paying tribute to the fresh, outgoing side of the house’s founder, with a new makeup collection called Les Beiges. It’s all about a healthy, natural flush – the kind of glow you might expect from a woman who’s carefree, unpretentious, and gets plenty of Vitamin D.

The first Les Beiges product, the Healthy Glow Sheer Powder, launches March 15, and there’s few better places to check it out than in Chanel Beauty’s new boutique in London’s Covent Garden, which hosts regular events with advice and expertise courtesy of the world’s leading makeup artists,

nail technicians and stylists.

Like the song we used in the video? It’s ‘Skyscraper’ by Elephant. Download it here.
