Adéla is a burgeoning pop star if I’ve ever seen one. When she comes to our studio, she wears 8-inch platform black leather heels shaped like lobster claws, matching cotton shorts and a bra, and an oversized leather jacket. She has an inherently cool way of carrying herself, as well, confirmed by each answer she shares.In our interview I found myself moved by her ambition, charmed by her repeated use of the word “sickening,” and her vitriol for fashion boys. It’s not often you meet s...| mixed feelings
If it were 2007, you might have described Audrey Hobert as “awkward,” but you’d be wrong. She’s not a wallflower, comfortable only in the most dimly-lit corners of the function. In fact, you’re more likely to find her on the dance floor, performing lanky pirouettes and making strange faces in other people’s selfies — a girl who’s simultaneously in on the joke and is the joke (intentionally).| www.mixedfeelings.earth
It was last week after "The Life of a Showgirl" proved to be her most poorly written, thematically vapid, and woefully unrelatable album (IMO) that I finally realized that it’s okay to hate Taylor’s new stuff just as much as I love her old work. No celebrity is deserving of this level of devotion, especially since these billionaires are high-key evil, but how do we know when it’s time to un-stan?| mixed feelings
Bk’s only 23, which was shocking to me, until I remembered that the rapper has been sharing music to SoundCloud since age 13, and started gaining a following shortly after. Now, she has dozens of songs under her belt, and a handful more musical collaborations with heavy-hitters like Denzel Curry, Coi Leray, and Rico Nasty. She stopped by the mixed feelings studio to do Hypersepcific.| mixed feelings
Lex Luthor's discomfort with Superman’s very existence, his belief that Superman is an abomination he must be rid of, reminds me of the first time the mere presence of a woman forced me to confront my queerness. Growing up in the deep south, and then the midwest, I couldn’t have been less comfortable with those feelings – and I absolutely wanted her to disappear and rid me of them, to free me.| mixed feelings
It all started with a random DM...Since deciding to pursue music full-time in 2019, Umi has brought their R&B-meets-alt-pop sound to dozens and dozens of tracks, opened for Jhené Aiko and Conan Gray, and now is back with a new album: people stories. Their new oeuvre is a collection of songs all inspired by the stories of others that range from love to heartbreak to taking a break and touching grass. Umi came to the studio do to our Hyperspecific questionnaire. Read it in full now.| mixed feelings
King Princess loves Call of Duty and "Gilgamesh-ian journeys" and hates JK Rowling and loud bar music. The artist, who just released their new album 'Girl Violence', stopped by our studio to do our Hyperspecific interview.| mixed feelings
We spoke with Atlanta-based Faire dwellers Rhea Callisto, shop clerk, and Anthony Scott, axe thrower, on all things Ren style and bringing the Middle Ages to modern-day dress.| www.mixedfeelings.earth
The viral J-pop star released his third album today, and stopped by our studio for a weird and wonderful rendition of our Hyperspecific questionnaire. Here's a snippet: "I want to go in a meditative state of mind. But make sure to play some funky shit at my funeral. Like, Kool & the Gang 'Celebration', Earth, Wind & Fire 'Boogie Wonderland', and of course, Fuji Kaze. I recommend 'Matsuri'."| mixed feelings
When did Timothée Chalamet in The King, with his bowl cut, grey wardrobe, and penchant for rolling around in the mud, become the poster child for style in the Middle Ages? Sometime in the last 50 years, all the color, pomp, and play was drained from medieval fashion in film. The irony is that this drab aesthetic is as much a Medieval fantasy as fire-breathing dragons, magical sorcerers, and immortal unicorns.| mixed feelings

The wildly popular digital comic is a crazy web of queer/trans romance drama and intricate fantasy lore. Creator ToniRenea's titular character, Osora, did our Hyperspecific interview.| mixed feelings
“It’s no longer enough to escape into a small-town romance where somebody owns a cupcake shop, because you know that the tariffs are going to eff up their business and all the workers are going to get kidnapped by ICE,” Leah Koch, co-owner of the romance bookstore The Ripped Bodice, says. “I think people want nothing of our disastrous world, and the only way to achieve that is to go to a completely different planet.”| www.mixedfeelings.earth
In Francky Knapp's photo series, aptly titled "Chivalry is a Feast," the artist reimagines chainmail and armor using plants. The brilliance of constructing garments that are meant to be hard, enduring, and tactical, using materials as tender and ephemeral as vegetables felt so mf-ian to us. We’re so delighted to include this piece in our issue.| mixed feelings

Wildly unserious until they’re required to be otherwise, Lunny and Macieira left me with my sides split. In between condemning sh*t behavior from political leaders through music that’s meant to be listened to twice over to catch its real meaning, it’s nice to occasionally chat about the beauty of having a cocktail and a cigarette on the beach.| www.mixedfeelings.earth
No one is able to discern what qualifies as artistic identity from the stars they pay money to hear and what is the product of a publicity team’s focus group research. Writer Steffi Cao lifts the veil behind what it actually takes to make a K-pop hit.| www.mixedfeelings.earth
