Barbie Ferreira Makes Her Exit From HBO's Hit Show, Euphoria

by Ana Hernandez

On August 24th, six months after the season 2 finale, Barbie Ferreira announced her exit from HBO hit show, euphoria. This means she will not be returning to film the show’s third season. The actress also wrote a heartfelt goodbye to one of the show’s most complex characters, Kat Hernandez. “after four years of getting to embody the most special and enigmatic character kat, I'm having to say a very teary-eyed goodbye," she says.

Kat Hernandez doesn’t fit the prolonged “fat girl trope” as her character aimed to break new barriers of complexity. In season 1, we see her undergo a metamorphosis after a traumatic sexual experience and see her reach an awakening consisting of promiscuity and a stylistic transformation. These changes allowed her to achieve a “fake it till you make it” level of confidence. But the controversial question remains, was Kat’s confidence genuinely authentic, or did it stem from male validation? That's a question even viewers can't seem to answer.

Even though Kat Hernandez played a memorable part in the hit show’s first season, the second season reduced Kat’s character to the background When we see her internally debate about her relationship with her boyfriend, Ethan, who she then breaks up with by claiming she has a terminal brain disorder and we see her be the mediator between two former best friends in a fiddling love triangle with one’s former boyfriend, Nate. We still have yet to wonder how Kat’s character is going to be written off, but that's a riddle that one can only wonder about until the next season.

Single Review: ‘Tell Me’ - Jay Moussa-Mann

by Ilana Hawdon The feeling of pure betrayal and heartbreak is perfectly captured in Jay Moussa-Mann’s latest single, ‘Tell Me’. Jay Moussa-Mann is the folk dream we have been waiting for. A favourite on BBC Introducing, Radio 6 and BBC Radio Tees, Jay ’s sound is easy on the ears but delightfully addictive. With a background in writing and film, she began her solo musical venture when she released her debut album, ‘Little Deaths’ in late-2019, and since then, Moussa-Mann has defined herself as an artist with unbelievable range and promise. ‘Tell Me’ is completely timeless; with notes of Carole King and Joni Mitchell, Moussa-Mann creates a folk-inspired track which is simultaneously heart wrenching and strangely empowering. Beginning as a simple guitar tune, ‘Tell Me’ builds with layers of luscious strings and twinkling piano, tied together with Jay ’s vocal line which is equal parts melancholic and divine. The song feels unwaveringly intimate; the lyrics ask, ‘what was I worth?’

Eurydice’s Last Words

by Kate Bradley I do not want to return To sit in the stalls, Of an empty black box Strewn with petals Leave the ghost light on, Let it shine like a call home, But I will not come back To turn it off alone. I learn this as we walk Our ever so solemn path Our thudding funeral march, You think we’re going back. As I trace my old steps, I fear of the day When the symphony swells, And I land my gaze On you, yet you will be Enraptured by the sound, If you did twist To turn around, You would not see me. So I am not sorry, I speak out into the empty air And I am not sorry. “Turn Around.” You do, you look You think I fall But I run on, Arms wide open To fall in love With it all “Perhaps she was the one who said, ‘Turn around.” On the X45 bus, back from the Tyneside Cinema, I wrote a poem entitled “Eurydice’s Final Words”, after having seen “Portrait of a Lady on Fire”. That poem was terrible, so I wrote a new one, as my response to the beautifully poignant film. In one scene, Héloïse , an 1
