LE SSERAFIM have been through more than their fair share of trials in the court of public opinion, the latest of which – sparked by ongoing controversies involving their label’s parent company – have subjected them to undue scrutiny from armchair critics over the past year. There’s a sick irony to it all, considering the group’s message of unflinching fearlessness and relentless resolve. Yet, it’s these moments that make it all the more convincing when the quintet sing of their tribulations.

Enough with the morning shower discourse—here are 6 ways to stay fresh if you're short on time

For many, morning showers are a precious daily ritual to mentally and physically prepare ourselves for the day. When you take your morning rinse, it washes away sweat, dead skin cells and oils you produce, (along with any bacteria picked up overnight) resetting your skin’s microbiome. On top of that, a shower helps to stave off that stubborn residual sleepiness that tends to stick around long after you awake from your slumber, leaving you feeling rejuvenated, pristine and ready to start the day....

Chloe Qisha – ‘Chloe Qisha’ EP review: infectious pop that's equally slick and sensitive

It hasn’t been half a year since her debut single, but singer-songwriter Chloe Qisha has already found her voice. The Malaysian-born, UK-based singer’s debut self-titled EP has an unpretentious, analog charm about it, even during her more polished, alt-pop moments. It’s a brilliant first glimpse into her vision of pop and her candid, honest lyricism.
Echoes of upbeat 80s pop ring through the nostalgia-tinged opening track ‘I Lied, I’m Sorry’, which immediately sets expectations high with its sli...
