Lola Young is a rising British singer-songwriter known for her unique blend of soulful pop, R&B and jazz influences.

Getting Out of That Bed

Nov 20, 2024 | farragomagazine.com | Nicholas Short

In the morning after you have slept with someone, You see the holes from picture hangers on the wall, The dust asleep on their skirting boards – And as they are slow to wake up, The gentleness between you is slow to wake as well.

‘Memories are just built over food’: A Cunning Cook on Finding His Culinary Footing

Sep 20, 2024 | farragomagazine.com | Dom Lepore |Amber Liang

Meeting early for a coffee at our local café, I was ready for my best friend, Miguel Trujillo, to start chatting as he sat scarved and dignified in his black trench coat. It’s not often that such a lifeline is well-versed in the culinary arts, but upon learning he did not always have those abilities, I was curious to hear how he discovered them. Miguel pointed me to the cookbook Where Cooking Begins by Chef Carla Lalli Music.
Hey you.

Aug 24, 2024 | farragomagazine.com | Michelle Yu

CW: Low self-esteem, weight dysphoria, references to food obsessions Gorgeous. Thrilling. Smart. Nerve-wracking. You – Heartbreak. My heart was drilling through my veins. You smiled In a way that told me I wanted to be your friend But I cracked everytime you looked Too broken; undeserving Of You – Everything I was not. I could not live up to it, I could not live up to it, how could I? Hardworking, smiling, skinny, smart – have I talked about how smart?
MADAME WEB: What Did We Expect?

Aug 12, 2024 | farragomagazine.com | Desmond Ng

I went into this movie as a joke, not expecting much out of it, and still found myself thoroughly disappointed. It is truly baffling how a movie this incompetently made is allowed to be shown in theatres. First of all, there is no story. The characters are motivated by absolutely nothing. They have no motivation, no goal, and no conflict; the characters are simply puppets on a string with no puppeteer, and yet they still have to perform.

Whenever the National Gallery of Victoria holds an exhibition, I am always excited and eager to go. In the past, the NGV has curated many fantastic exhibits that have never failed to impress. So, of course I had to see the much-anticipated Pharaoh exhibit. For the Melbourne Winter Masterpieces 2024, the NGV has partnered with the British Museum, to put on an internationally exclusive exhibition, showcasing 3000 years of ancient Egyptian history.
Chocolat Revolution: Hopes, Dreams and the People

Jul 20, 2024 | farragomagazine.com | Angus Clark

“Come with me, and you’ll be in a world of pure imagination.” Wonka (Timothee Chalamet) is a young, naive but genius chocolatier who kicks us off by arriving at the Gallery Gourmet to make his fortune, “Although the prices are suspiciously severe.” He starts the day with twelve sovereigns, and ends it with none. Inflation, anyone? He becomes contractually enslaved in a room-and-board and doggedly pursues his milky dreams despite it.
Aussie Psych Rock Trailblazers GUM & Ambrose Kenny-Smith Come Together on ILL TIMES

Jul 19, 2024 | farragomagazine.com | Dom Lepore

“Involve your friends in your art” is a striking statement I recently stumbled across—working with like-minded people is a reliable way to produce a labour of love and revel in fun. That’s exactly what Australian psychedelic rock pioneers Jay Watson (Pond and Tame Impala’s touring band) and Ambrose Kenny-Smith (King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard and The Murlocs) got up to when concocting their collaborative album, Ill Times.
