Today I'm Listening To: Anne Marie


I absolutely adored 'Rumour Mill' by Rudimental when I first heard it in work which featured Anne-Marie. Now however she's finally released some of her solo work, which I've been very keen to hear. She has been featured in MTV's Artists to Watch for 2016 and without doubt you can see why. 

Here is her video for 'Do It Right' where we can see some of her very amazing style too! I'm also sharing Rudimental's Rumour Mill for old times.

Undoubtedly his work is shocking but offers a very interesting critique of society and modern cultural phenomenons.  I've recently being covering some interesting material on biopolitics, a Foucaltian idea. Whereby an individual is governed by a variety of different things such as media, technologies, educations etc. By governed I mean regulated or controlled so to speak. Interestingly I have been focusing on media as a means of regulating.  In relation to Luis Quiles work I think it's interesting to consider how some social medias and online medias regulate gender roles and simultaneously sexism.  This second image I found extremely interesting.
