  • Rosalia and everything

    I’m obsessed. It brings me so much joy listening to two amazing souls talk about their lives and passions. I am trying to leave a voice note after listening to Rosalia’s album as I am equally obsessed and in awe. Thank you! From Brisbane Australia .

  • constant woman bashing and misogyny

    Every week is just a pick apart of female artists. Every aspect of their music and behaviour scrutinised. They never do the same with male artists and I expected so much better, especially from Annie
