Following her much-anticipated second studio album ‘777’, released in 2022 which saw Latto dip her toe into the pop scene, her single “Big Energy,” climbed to No. 3 on the Hot 100 and No. 1 on Pop Airplay. Following this success, Latto collaborated with BTS’ Jungkook for his single “Seven,” which became the first Hot 100 chart-topper for both art§ists and went on to win “Song of the Summer” at the 2023 MTV VMA Awards.

Latto then solidified her legacy as the first ever female headliner of ATL’s Hot 107.9 Birthday Bash, and as the first female rapper to ever have a #1 record at Pop, Rhythm and Urban Radio with her hit RIAA-certified 3x Platinum single “Big Energy”, effortlessly showing the world that this Georgia Peach is one to pick.

Drawing keen inspiration from her Georgian roots, this southern belle is serving more than iced tea to her dedicated fans this summer. Her highly anticipated third studio album ‘Sugar Honey Iced Tea’ features 21 tracks of singles, “Big Mama,” “Sunday Service,” “Put It On Da Floor”, and remixes featuring other A-List Southern artists including Megan Thee Stallion, Ciara, Coco Jones, Young Nudy, Flo Milli, and Teezo Touchdown, and is proving to be the sweet refreshment we’re craving. Pulling from inspirations Mariah Carey, Beyoncé and Lil’ Kim but with her signature Southern hip-hop twist, Big Mama expertly presents a very feminine energy with a masculine sense of confidence, effortlessly producing a yin, yang effect to her music.

But Latto’s artistic flair doesn’t stop there. Frequently showcasing striking reds, pinks, and patterns, Latto’s understanding of daring fashion and colour theory paints her Instagram as more of a gallery, allowing a visual extension of her art to run alongside her music career. Having also attended various fashion weeks over the years spanning New York, Milan, and Paris, Latto’s playful and sexy looks embrace a new, fun, and explorational phase in her career.

Craving more? Excitingly, since concluding her special feature on Lizzo’s tour, Latto has teased an upcoming tour in her recent Billboard feature, and even hinted at her advocacy for affordable ticket prices, stating: “I want it to be an experience, but also affordable”, once again showcasing those sweet, Southern manners and genuine care for her fans.

With over one billion streams worldwide, a new album, and upcoming tour, Latto proves once again, there ain’t nothing like a Georgia girl.

]]> Nail the carnival look with finesse for the return of London’s biggest – and most fiery- street party.

Since 1966, the British Caribbean community has illuminated the streets of London with a parade of dancing, mouth-watering food, a plethora of live music and beautiful outfits on the August bank holiday weekend. 


Taking place every year, the all-important event celebrates the vibrant culture of island life. One can’t help but be starstruck by the captivatingly vibrant-styled women wearing sparkly ensembles embellished with feathers and sequins.

Suppose you’re looking to party the weekend away in a typically ambitious fashion and mark the end of a long, hot summer. In that case, there’s no better way than to embrace the beguiling brilliance of Carnival style.

Since three years have passed since the last event, the atmosphere is likely to be more electrifying than ever – with people excited to be back on west London’s streets.

Less is More

While pastels and florals are ground-breaking for spring, to mark the end of summer, cut-outs and neons are in full spirit this carnival season, and these celebs are rocking streetwear, dressed in bright-hued shades. Any outfit can be made festival-ready with pops of colour here and there.

A Caribbean island’s garments resemble its beautiful lifestyle. The clothes represent the nation’s tropical environment from the blue hues that evoke the warm waters to the bright yellows that reflect the radiant sun.

Here are some outfits we just can’t get enough of…

Glowing in a fitted cut out co-ord, Maya Jama looks empowered in a handmade in London ensemble that perfectly fits the vibe for Notting Hill Carnival. The slash skirt and vest combination from independent company Tit4Tat is created from fabrics that show off the silhouette. Tropical colours like khaki and yellow go well together, especially not to overpower the cutout details of the outfit. This piece is truly reminiscent of the Caribbean sun.

A contemporary dose of trend inspiration 

Posing with her orange iguana on her left arm, the ‘Sweetest Pie’ singer shows off her layered beaded necklace and silver hoop earrings in a Jean Paul Gaultier three-piece set. The fashion house’s signature ‘Billet de Banque’ print features island-inspired patterns using a variety of colours.  

Continuing the colours and cutouts trend, Latto is wearing a Balboa Island maxi dress that is surrounded by beautiful patterns. If there’s one thing other than bright colours that stands out in the traditional clothing of the Caribbean, it’s the inevitable designs and patterns. Paired with a metallic lambskin quilted Chanel bag, the vibrant nature of this outfit will shine during the August bank holiday. 

If you’re not ready to say goodbye to summer just yet, this eye-catching matching bandeau and skort duo will sure turn heads this season. If you’re hoping to dazzle among the dancers, this combo would suit both a daytime street fiesta or an evening soirée and accessorising the outfit with some flowers in your hair gives off those sunny beach vibes. 

Who says red and pink clash? 

Already ready for a festival, Dua Lipa looks pretty in pink wearing a barbie inspired baby pink crop top along with short shorts (both pieces featured a holographic buckle on the hem and waistlines) pictured with her friend, Sarah Lysander, wearing a casual vest layered with a vivid red shirt and red and black tie-dye skirt.

There is no denying that hot girl summer is well underway, with the return of Queen B and Drake dropping a surprise dance album. Whether you’re on the hunt for your next big hype tune or need some sonic relatability this summer, we’ve got you covered! Here are all of June’s top releases that we currently have on repeat;

Beyoncé – Break My Soul

There’s no better time to channel Beyoncé than summer, as everything from her confidence to her attitude is an inspiration. So, we were thrilled to see Bey is back! ‘Break My Soul’ is filled with affirmations, dance rhythms, and a classic 90s dance sample of ‘Show me Love’ by Robyn S. If you need a pick me up or are dealing with heartbreak this summer, this is the song for you! 

Princess Nokia – Diva

You can’t truly thrive in hot girl summer unless you uplift and empower the women around you. And, it is just as important to appreciate all the incredible women who paved the way for us. With this track, Princess Nokia celebrates all the divas who came before her, from Shakira and Beyoncé to Whitney and Aaliyah. Pair this uplifting message with the triumphant soundscape of ‘Diva,’ and you have one of the most empowering tracks of summer 2022. 

Drake – Honestly, Nevermind 

We were taken by surprise on June 17th, as Drake dropped an album with no announcement. But, to surprise us even more, this is no usual Drake album. Instead, Drake has embodied the dance genre and incorporated it within his usual flow, creating a perfect summer style. He took the world by storm in the summer of 2016; can he do it again? 

Flo Milli – Conceited

Delivering bags of personality, sass, and confidence this summer is the fabulous Flo Milli. From just one play of this track, we were already feeling ourselves! Flo has delivered a stellar flow, beat, and meaning with ‘Conceited.’ We will be sure to keep this on our radar for any moments of self-doubt. 

Lil Nas X, YoungBoy Never Broke Again – Late To Da Party

Bringing us all the good vibes this month are Lil Nas X and NBA Youngboy, as they dropped a slick-produced Hip hop track that encapsulates the modern rap style. Many say this is a collaboration no one would have seen coming, but we love it! 

DellaXOZ – i want, doesn’t get

If you’re in need of some relatability that still delivers positive, uplifting summer vibes, DellaXOZ has just given you the perfect track. Complete with lyrics honing on moving on from a relationship, this song is great for anyone focussing on having a healing girl summer! 

Jada Kingdom – Fling It Back

You can’t go wrong with a good summer dancehall beat, and Jada Kingdom certainly understood the assignment. This is one for the girls ready to dance the hot nights away without a care in the world. 

Chlöe – Surprise

Chlöe gave us our supply of divine feminine energy on June 17th with her latest single, ‘Surprise.’ Showing us her cheeky side with suggestive lyrics, it’s safe to say Chlöe’s solo endeavours are set to be memorable and definitive. 

Lila Iké – Wanted

Reggae is a genre that can impact your mood in such a dynamic way, and it is even more prevalent when it’s summer. Lila Iké delivered a reggae dream earlier this month, complete with heavenly vocals, infectious rhythms, and meandering melodies. 

FKA twigs – Killer

If hard-hitting beats aren’t your vibe, FKA twigs’ latest single is calm whilst still encapsulating the summer sound. This is a much more pop-sounding track for twigs, and we are excited to see if she will dabble further within the genre. 

Saucy Santana, Latto – Booty

Summer is for fun, and this track delivers just that, courtesy of Saucy Santana and Latto. From an iconic sampling of Beyoncé’s ‘Crazy In Love’ to tongue n cheek lyrics surrounding self-love, this song is inevitably fun and infectious. 

Aitch, Bakar – In Disguise

Giving us 2010’s British rap realness this month is Aitch and Bakar, with cheeky lyrics and guitar motifs that inject unmistakable energy into this track. One thing is for sure; we will be pressing our replay button on this one!
