Bang On #293: Charli XCX + Lorde, Justin Timberlake, Vogue World
Myf and Zan are back and boy howdy there's a lot to catch up on. Take 5 has been nominated for a Logie (!) and we're looking at you, Bang Fam, to nab the win.
Charli XCX has invited Lorde onto a remix of a song reportedly about her. What results is one of the most beautiful displays of radical vulnerability we've heard, and it gets us thinking about the pitting of pop stars against one another, and how the new guard of stars is rewriting the rules.
Justin Timberlake has had a "tough week", while in Paris we've just discovered Vogue World and we are all in on this circus madness. And we're cracking open the Bang Box to share some treats, and banging on about Colin From Accounts S02.
