Raye Zaragoza – “The It Girl”
Zaragoza confides “Growing up, all I ever wanted to be was the it girl. I thought that meant I needed to be a pretty blonde princess Barbie who met her Prince Charming and rode off into the sunset. This fantasy left me with immense inner turmoil and self-hatred. In high school, I would even lighten my skin with lemon juice, dye my hair lighter, and wear blue contacts. I truly thought that in order to be beautiful, you had to be white. The It Girl is my outcry for diverse representation in media, a plea to throw out the old rule book of western expectations of women. I am proud to be a multicultural brown woman with insecurities and a vibrant intersectional identity that I continue to grapple with.”

Kiko Bun ‘Bad Boy Tenor’
Kiko Bun returns today with ‘Bad Boy Tenor’. The follow-up to ‘My Thing’ A blend of Reggae, early Dancehall and Rubadub, he explains “It’s influenced by the soundsystem culture between the 70s and 80s that I’m inspired by. A time when the wickedest riddim and rhyme would win pull ups from avid crowds and DJs. It’s sort of an introduction of myself to the world. Telling the listener a bit about me “I like to wear all my jewellery at once”. It’s flash, proud, just like old school Jamaican lyrics. A dance/sing along. A reflection of the modern reggae rude boy”.
