Halsey has just surprise-dropped a new song called ‘Tokyo Narita (Freestyle)’, seeing her collaborate again with Lido - who also produced her ‘Badlands’ album.

An Ariana Grande x feminism appreciation post.

Ariana Grande’s new album ‘Dangerous Woman’ is a reflection of Ariana’s ideas about women, sexuality, feminism and more - it’s a proud statement about being who you are, and loving yourself.

Ariana has always been a strong feminist, not being afraid to speak out about issues - speaking frankly in interviews, and calling out sexism within the industry. She's a role model for all her fans, and is having a positive impact while combatting these major world issues.

She first released ‘Drift’ into the world a mere nine months ago, yet it’s collected a whopping 75,000 plays on Soundcloud, and praise from critics around the world. Her debut + self-titled EP was released earlier this year, and compiles a collection of four songs that are hauntingly beautiful, layering her harmonies with a darker production style.
