The festival in Cannes is in full swing and one of the coolest fix is The Lobster by Greec director yogos Lanthimos. This is the plot: In a dystopian near future, single people are obliged to find a matching mate in 45 days or are transformed into animals and released into the woods.
This couldn’t be stranger, right. But what a cast: Rachel Weisz, Colin Farrell, Lea Seydoux, John C. Reilly and Ben Winshaw. No trailer yet but we will add one as soon as it’s available.
The Big Moon is a all female London quartet whose sound is built upon tight harmonies, strong guitar interplay, and exuberant energy. Formerly known as The Moon, their debut single under the new moniker, “Sucker”, will be released on Hard Up Records in June.
Bao is London’s equivalent of New York’s classic Momofuku’s Ssäm Bar – TrendEngel tells you this is even better. . The restaurant’s name derives from gua bao: fluffy white steamed buns, in this case filled with braised pork, sprinkled with peanut powder, and yours for £3.75. Other sorts of bao (bun) are more slider-like, such as little burger baps wrapped around soy-milk-marinated chicken, sichuan mayo and kimchi. There’s even a dessert bao – made with doughnut batter and filled with Horlicks ice cream – that echoes the malted cereal milks at NYC’s Momofuku Milk Bar.
Not much TrendEngel has to say about this one except: Twix Cappuccino is pretty pretty good. For the first time Twix (or Raider for the old folks) is releasing the cappuccino version. What’s not to like.
These comparisons are easily drawn and mostly wrong. The next Amy Winehouse – we read that hundreds of times. But this time…just maybe we have something special. Lili K is from Chicago, and if you’re any kind of local music fan in Chicago, you’ve heard Lili K.’s voice. You just might not have realized it. The wispy melodies backing up Chance The Rapper on his Acid Rap smash “Pusha Man.” The soulful temptress singing harmony on Vic Mensa’s “Hollywood.” The jazz cover of Disclosure’s “Latch” with vocals well beyond the owner’s years that floated around the Internet late last year. It’s all Lili.
Ruby is the name of the local singer’s forthcoming album and it leaves no question as to where her true musical allegiances lie. Lili embodies a classic jazz singer with her voice and emulates the golden age of Motown and soul with her style. She’s as refreshing and wholesome as the television sitcoms we associate with the same era. The video for (not to mention the sound of) “Tommy,” Ruby’s lead single, is a throwback in more ways than one.
Here is the lead single:
and here is a bit of background on her:

Yes I know this is not new but first of all Waka Waka give a lot of money to good causes and 2nd of all this is an amazing product. Charge your phone with solar energy anywhere and everywhere and never rely on “dirty” energy and a plug again…also you have light that is much brighter than a regular flashlight – this is what they say about themselves: WakaWaka is an impact driven, social venture that fights to abolish energy poverty throughout the world.
TrendEngel had the opportunity to see this artists show recently in Milano. The buzz is tremendous and people say he could be the next big thing – This sounds very strange if you are aware that Kris Rhus was born in New York in 1952 but looking at his oeuvre and his ability to integrate structure into his work makes you wonder why Rhus was not discovered decades ago. 
This video shows you some of his work from 3 years ago (400 views – so this is grass roots at its best:
TrendEngel likes Violet magazine. WHO is Violet Magazine for? the woman who wants it all …. the woman who is looking to be educated in an entertaining way. It’s not just floaty, feminine and fabulous! This is one action packed, brimming full of resources for the everyday woman. The female entrepreneur, the woman in business, the woman who would like to work from home, the woman who likes to change things up.
