PinkPantheress Brit Award Winner

 Pop star PinkPantheress has been named producer of the year by the Brit Awards ahead of this weekend's ceremony.

The 24-year-old, whose hits include Illegal, Stateside and Boy's A Liar, is the first woman to be given the prize since its inception in 1977.

"I guess it's bittersweet that I'm the first one, the first woman, to get it," she told BBC News.

"As young as I am, it feels almost a bit crazy. Like, I'm not really legendary enough to be receiving it - but you know, I will definitely take it!"

Previous winners of the prize include the Beatles' producer Sir George Martin, Trevor Horn, Brian Eno, the Eurythmics' David Stewart, Calvin Harris and Chase & Status.

Until now, Kate Bush was the only other female producer to have been nominated, for her 1989 album The Sensual World.

PinkPanteress does not publicly state that she's a feminist but her public commentary heavily aligns with feminist principles by addressing intersectional issues. She has openly criticized the music industry for bias against Black women in electronic music. She actively challenges industry, racial, and genre stereotypes to represent her identity.

A Heated Rivalry or Wicked Misogyny?

Image
 As someone who may hold bias to the extent that I refuse to watch Heated Rivalry, I think it's important to state that I've seen a couple of episodes, and the show just isn't for me. I've also watched both the Wicked movies starring Cynthia Erivo and Arianna Grande. Now you are probably wondering what these two media films have in common. Well, nothing to be exact, and I think that's the preface we must state first.  This isn't about the series/movies, it's about the co-stars, but first, here's a little context you may need to understand where I am coming from. Arianna Grande plays in the musical adaptation of Wicked and Wicked for Good, directed by Jon M. Chu. She takes on the role of playing Galina (Galinda the Good), she is a very privileged and self-absorbed young woman who attends Shiz University and ends up facing an internal battle of being for the people or wanting her personal desire to keep her bond with Elphaba. Elphaba Thropp (The Wicked Wit...

Intro/Post-Grad Plans!

Hi everyone, My name is Emily Webb, and I’m from Frederick, Maryland. I am a senior majoring in Digital Culture & Design with a double minor in Graphic Design and Social Media. I am currently finishing up my applications for Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) programs in Technology Education or Art Education. My goal is to become a secondary teacher for digital arts courses. I am excited about combining my love for digital media with teaching and helping students develop both creative and technical skills. Outside of school, I enjoy crafting with my Cricut. I love designing projects and bringing them to life by pressing my designs onto clothes and other items. Creating something tangible from a digital idea is really rewarding. I’m looking forward to connecting with all of you, sharing ideas, and learning from your experiences this semester!  If you’re a senior, what are your post-grad plans (I know, the dreaded question), and if you’re not, what are you hoping to do after gradua...
