| 21 November 2025 - Fashion Music Tip: JJ's "Haunting Me" Austrian Eurovision 2025 winner JJ delivers with "Haunting Me," a surprisingly compelling follow-up. The young artist recently faced criticism for outspoken comments on Israel's ESC participation—remarks he later softened—but one misstep shouldn't overshadow genuine talent. This track seamlessly merges contemporary pop with his distinctive operatic style. Lyrically, it explores being haunted by someone from your past who won't let go. Thanks to JJ’s win, Vienna will host Eurovision in May 2026, bringing the contest back to Austria for another exciting chapter. |

| 17 November 2025 - Fashion.at Music Tip: 'Art Deco' by Lana del Rey (Parov Stelar Artifact Version) Austrian electro-swing maestro Parov Stelar reimagines Lana Del Rey's "Art Deco" on his new album "Artifact" (out now). The track embodies Art Deco's essence through a stunning blend of electronic beats and orchestral elements—glamorous yet cold, luxurious yet uncertain. The central line "So Art Deco out on the floor" connects the iconic 1920s design movement—known for luxury, glamour, and modernity with an underlying coldness—to a woman "shining like gunmetal, cold and unsure." Like the angular elegance of Art Deco itself, the song captures surface sophistication masking inner vulnerability: a perfect portrait of the modern club queen navigating nightlife's dazzling contradictions. |

| 4 November 2025 - Fashion.at Music Tip: Electronic Art Pop 'Harvest Sky' by Oklou. French artist Oklou captures the duality of social isolation on 'Harvest Sky' from her acclaimed album 'choke enough' (out now). The track examines self-consciousness and the pull between connection and distance, finding comfort in solitary moments during festivities. The titular sky becomes a symbolic space for introspection—a core element of Oklou's artistic approach. The album blends ambient textures with minimal club rhythms, creating what critics call a "waking dream" exploring identity and vulnerability. Stereogum named it the #1 album of 2025 so far, while the New York Times noted how Oklou's gentle vocals explore disaster and connection against sparkling, celestial instrumentals. Oklou is currently on a sold-out UK and European tour, which will stop in cities like London, Amsterdam, Manchester, Berlin, and Paris through November and December. |
