Today, rising alt-R&B artist and multi-instrumentalist Forest Claudette announces their forthcoming project Everything Was Green on June 16 with the release of emotional new single “Two Years.” Listen HERE via Warner Records. Funky, understated, and instantly catchy, the track highlights the Australian-American’s unique talents like never before. It is accompanied by a video that finds Claudette grappling with those pesky, life-altering decisions. Watch it HERE.
“I had hesitation but you didn’t, I had reservations from the beginning,” the 23-year-old croons over a white-hot beat, reverberating synths and trippy guitar flourishes, “but I ain’t saying you put me in this position — it is what it is, I wouldn’t do it different.” Claudette then elaborates on the chorus: “I couldn’t commit to two years and a house on the hill,” they sing. “Getting stressed out, looking for my recording deal.”
That tension is reflected in the video, which shows the newcomer moving from one familiar domestic situation to the next—but it’s not all blissful. “I started writing ‘Two Years’ around the same time I wrote ‘Gone Without A Trace,’” Claudette says of the new track. “I remember I was grappling with the idea of how to listen to myself or choose myself, and not feel like a selfish asshole.”
“It was the beginning of understanding my brain better and learning to communicate differently and with more authenticity,” they add. “A lot of time passed between the initial idea and the session that led to it sounding the way it does now. That time really helped me come to terms with the feelings I captured in the initial demo, and with the help of Gabe and JAHS, allowed me to focus on them from a place of clarity.”
“Two Years” arrives on the heels of the delirious “Motor in the Sand” and their throwback R&B anthem “Mess Around.” They were preceded by his debut EP, The Year of February, in 2022. That offering featured acclaimed singles like “Creaming Soda” and “Hologram,” where Claudette wonders if they deserves the spotlight. Matters of the heart were also front and center on The Year of February with gems like “Gone Without a Trace” and “Goodbye.”
Born in the Dandenong Ranges of Victoria, Australia, the rising artist also spent time in the US throughout their formative years. Captivated by singer-songwriters like Frank Ocean and Moses Sumney, they honed their craft at an experiential high school and wrote their first song at 16. Soon afterward, Claudette caught the attention of national radio station triple j, which led to co-writing sessions with other artists and songwriters.
The arrival of Everything Was Green ushers in a new shade to the seemingly endless kaleidoscope of sounds that is Claudette’s music.

Are you a parent planning for your child’s graduation party? Do you finally have enough free time to take that dream vacation? If so, then you’ve clicked on the right place. Everyone has a special event they’re preparing for, but the problem is that your finances may not be in the best standing. Since special occasions can cost a lot of money, it’s important that you get your finances in order first. You don’t want things like debt and other financial issues getting in the way. In this article, we’ll provide you with tips to help you organize your finances for a special event.
Get Ready to Budget
Whenever it’s time to start planning finances, the first thing you must do is create a budget. Budgeting allows you to get a more in-depth look into where your funds are going each month. What many people realize when they go over their monthly expenses is how much goes into miscellaneous purchases. This includes eating out, getting coffee drinks at a café, prioritizing wants, and subscription-based services. While it’s perfectly fine to have one or two of these, having too many of these expenses can make it very difficult to save. As you go through your budget, we recommend you start using an app that automates everything. A budgeting app can house most of your information, so you only need to enter everything once and make small changes when they occur. If you want to find an easy balance, then you can try the 50/30/20 method.
Consider Taking Out a Personal Loan
Let’s be honest in that saving up money isn’t the easiest thing in the world no matter how strict your budget is. That said, there’s nothing wrong with seeking some outside help. In the case of a special event, the best thing to do is to take out a personal loan. A personal loan can be used to pay for anything you want. They’re the most flexible loan you can apply for, but how much you get depends on the status of your credit. Though, it’s worth pointing out that it’s not without risk. It can significantly damage your credit if you miss payments. Second, you could potentially face higher interest rates if your credit isn’t high enough. Another risk you could face is paying for additional fees when you borrow, though this does depend on the lender you take the loan from. Before you decide, you’ll need to weigh the pros and cons of taking out a personal loan.
Keep Your Debt Under Control
If there’s one thing that can put a damper on a special event, it’s having to deal with an exorbitant amount of debt. Student loans, credit cards, and car payments can be a real hassle to deal with at times. As you budget to take control of your finances and save your money, you can consider making additional payments. The more you pay, the sooner your debt is eliminated. Furthermore, you’ll also build up your relationship with the lender, which will make it easier to take out additional funds should you ever need to.

For many people, colored contact lenses have become an essential part of their makeup and personal style. With so many different types available, it can be overwhelming to choose the right one. In this article, we will introduce the types and characteristics of colored lenses and recommend some popular brands that can be purchased online.
Firstly, there are two main types of colored lenses: daily disposable and monthly disposable. Daily disposable colored contacts, also known as dailies, are designed to be worn for a single day and then discarded. The advantages of dailies include their convenience and hygiene, as well as the ability to easily change the color and design. However, they can be more expensive than monthly contacts and generate more waste.
Monthly disposable colored contacts, also known as monthlies, can be worn for up to a month and require daily cleaning, disinfection, and storage. The advantages of monthlies include their lower cost compared to dailies and their durability. However, they require more maintenance and carry a higher risk of infection if not cared for properly. Additionally, some people may grow tired of wearing the same color or design for an entire month.
When choosing the color of your contact lenses, consider factors such as your natural eye color, skin tone, hair color, and personal style. You may also want to choose different colors for different occasions or settings. For example, brown lenses can create a natural look that is suitable for everyday situations such as work or school. Brown lenses can also make the eyes appear larger and create a gentle atmosphere.
Colored contact lenses offer a fun and easy way to enhance your personal style. Whether you prefer the convenience of dailies or the cost-effectiveness of monthlies, there is a wide range of colors and designs to choose from.
Here are 5 recommended colored contact lenses for 2023 that you can conveniently purchase online:
Brown Colored Contacts: Brown contacts create a natural and gentle impression, making them perfect for everyday use. They are popular and suitable for most eye colors. If you have large black eyes, you can choose a lighter shade such as pale brown or beige to add depth to your eyes. People with small black eyes can opt for darker shades such as dark brown or chocolate to make their eyes look deeper and more attractive.
Gray Colored Contacts: Gray contacts create a cool and sophisticated impression, making them perfect for special occasions and parties. Choose a shade that complements your skin tone. For example, if you have fair skin, a light gray or silver shade will make your eyes stand out. People with darker skin can opt for darker shades such as dark gray or charcoal to enhance their eyes.
Blue Colored Contacts: Blue colored contacts create a bold and glamorous look, making them perfect for special occasions such as parties and dates. Choose a shade that complements your skin tone. For example, if you have fair skin, a light blue or sky blue shade will create a neat and cute look. People with light brown skin can choose darker shades such as navy or royal blue to create a sexy and mature look.
Green Colored Contacts: Green colored contacts create a refreshing and energetic impression, making them perfect for spring and summer. Choose a shade that complements your hair color. For example, if you have dark or brown hair, a vibrant shade such as emerald or forest green will make your eyes stand out. Blondes and redheads can choose lighter shades such as mint or cactus green to create a kinder look.
Black Colored Contacts: Black colored circle lenses create an intense and mysterious look, making them perfect for dramatic occasions such as Halloween or cosplay events. They are suitable for all skin tones and hair colors and can be worn with a variety of makeup styles to create different effects.
The NRL is feisty and ferocious at the best of times with crunching tackles all over the pitch, but that is part and parcel of the game.
Although someone probably ought to have reminded Latrell Mitchell after he lost his cool in South Sydney Rabbitoh’s 28-12 Magic Round victory over the Melbourne Strom last weekend.
Mitchell clashed with Harry Storm when he was rather clumsy trying to take a catch, as he extended his knee into Storm’s back, which seemed to constitute reckless play.
But what followed next was remarkable and somewhat contentious as Mitchell emerged from the tackle by lashing out, striking Storm twice in the head. However, he escaped punishment from the on field match official.
Given the nature of Mitchell’s reaction, it seemed almost mystifying that he wasn’t sin-binned, let alone given a talking to. Oh, and there was no penalty awarded either.
This has led those in the NRL community, most notably journalists, suggesting that Mitchell was given favouritism by the referee, who seemed to be rather lenient with his decision-making.
One reporter, Paul Crawley, went further, and he suggested referees are worried about Mitchell, who seems to be “above the law”.
In a rather telling set of comments, he said: “I reckon it was almost a sin bin. It certainly wasn’t a classic punch but it warranted at the very least a reprimand.
“But to hear match referee Adam Gee say it was play and not penalise Mitchell for his total over-reaction was extraordinary.
“Fans from rival teams have a right to know why it seems Mitchell is above the law. This is where the lack of consistency makes the fans so angry.”
Like with most other sports, NRL matches are always decided on fine margins, especially in the upper reaches of the table when reaching the playoffs or Grand Final is at stake. Although the Rabbitohs benefitted from a refereeing decision, it didn’t impact the result in the context of their match, and they are likely to contend come the end of the season.
The Rabbitohs are the most successful teams in NRL Premiership history, and it is no surprise to see they are getting a lot of backing from plenty of top NRL online betting sites. That includes Unibet, who have priced the Rabbitohs at 7/2 just behind Penrith Panthers at 13/4 to lift the title come the end of the campaign. Unibet will also have a raft of tasty pre-match odds for bettors to tuck into ahead of each game.
While no NRL game is immune to controversy, there will have been a few Storm fans raging. As far as Mitchell is concerned, he will have to tread a line, although referees will need to stand up to him in the future and lay down the law.
Listen to Young Dylan’s 360 MAG Podcast with VaughnHERE.
Rapper/actor Dylan Gilmer has taken the entertainment industry by storm. Known by his stage name of “Young Dylan,” at the mere age of thirteen years old he has accomplished triumphs that resembles that of long-term professionals in the business. 360 sat down to chat with Dylan about his rapping and acting career, and what exactly we can expect to see from him in the future.
Young Dylan was first noticed at six-years-old when a video of his rapping skills went viral. Soon after, he was brought to ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ at age seven to showcase his rapping talent on a widespread scale. At such a young age, Young Dylan captivated his audience and drew them in with his charming rap talent while performing DJ Khaled’s “For Free.”
His later amassed fame came from his performances on Season 14 of ‘America’s Got Talent.’ At only ten years old, Young Dylan rapped advanced tracks from popular rappers Drake and Kendrick Lamar that allowed him to display his impeccable musical rhythm and flow. Since he gained widespread critical acclaim, Young Dylan has made several appearances back where he got his early beginning into the industry on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show.’
He attributes his rapping skills back to cherished moments with his father growing up. “Ever since I was a baby, he’d be playing music in the car… I have great memorization, I remembered the beats, the lyrics, just like I do with my lines.”
Young Dylan’s apparent natural confidence in performing is one of his most recognizable and admirable traits. When asked about how he transforms himself to become Young Dylan on stage, he attributes everything to energy.
Dylan gets his pre- nerve jitters out by stepping on stage confidently and giving each performance his all. Once the curtains open and he starts performing, “Voila! The butterflies are gone, my heart is pumping, a good pumping, I’m getting the crowd lit, everything like that!” He explains the energy that the crowd gives him is his fuel for his vibe while taking the stage.
Continuing his career with such early success, Dylan has only continued to blossom into a well-versed working young professional. Popularly starring on ‘Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan’ on Nickelodeon as Young Dylan, the show follows the story of the Young Dylan character’s hip-hop career and personal life.
Immersed in the Nickelodeon world, Young Dylan also co-hosts Nickelodeon’s ‘NFL Slimetime’ with Nate Burleson. Young Dylan spoke about how much he’s learned from Nate while working together on the project and how it’s been “great working with him, on set and off of set.”
Young Dylan launched his career into new heights after landing his co-host spot on ‘The Kids Tonight Show,’ which just so happens to be executively produced by the host of the original tonight show, Jimmy Fallon. Dylan recalls the leadup to this experience and how he landed such a stellar roll. “It was my last day of school, I was laying on my floor just watching TikTok’s, stuff like that, and my father calls me out of nowhere and says, ‘You need to get on the Zoom! I forgot all about it, you need to get on the Zoom!’”
On this Zoom call, Young Dylan got to chat with his future kid co-stars and the rest of the team with the show. The producers absolutely fell in love with the relatability and transparency that allows viewers to connect with Dylan. “I felt like I was supposed to be on that show,” Young Dylan says about ‘The Kid Tonight Show,’ and we couldn’t agree more.
Dylan made sure to mention how all the kids working on the project possess innovative qualities that contribute to the success of the show. “I think we all bring something different to the show, and that’s what I really like about them, and that’s what I really liked about the show.” Working alongside his co-hosts Mykal-Michelle Harris, Olivia Perez and Recker Eans, Young Dylan raved about the chemistry that they all had working together. Stepping into some big shoes to fill from the acclaimed Jimmy Fallon, Young Dylan and his co-hosts are swiftly keeping up with the kid-friendly spin off just fine.
Originally from Annapolis, Maryland, he still resides in the city with big dreams to move to a major city in the new few years. “I travel a lot to Atlanta, New York, Cali. So, I’m hoping to move to one of those states by 15.”
At the forefront of Young Dylan’s mission is giving back to the community. “I just want to be there for my community, and I always want to have Annapolis, Maryland in my heart… most people don’t know what Annapolis is… I want to be the person to make Annapolis well-known, and I feel like I can do that.”
Amidst the ongoing duration of the pandemic, Young Dylan has been able to appreciate the blessings that he has received regarding the advancement of his career. While going through quarantine, he recalls how he had the time to analyze how strained he was, and how he got through this with help from his support system.
“Quarantine, for me, taught me a lot of things. I was really stressed out at one point balancing school, acting, rapping; all of that. You know, you just have to have a great support system.”
Young Dylan credits his success and motivation to the help he receives from his strong support system. He explains how without having the support of the people around him, he wouldn’t have been able to accomplish what he has thus far. He encourages fans that are going through tough times to find those people around them that they feel comfortable to talk to and can confide in.
In terms of giving back, Young Dylan has never been shied to fighting for causes that he believes in. Throughout the duration of the pandemic and the first quarantine, Young Dylan made it one of his priorities to help out where he could.
“During quarantine I was giving food to hospitals, people that were still working during the pandemic.” Having found joy in helping those who needed it most during the pandemic, giving back is now at the heart of Young Dylan’s mission.
We can expect a lot more to come from Young Dylan in the next few years. Aside from recently landing a spot as a host on ‘The Kids Tonight Show,’ Young Dylan has recently signed with Puma and is planning to release his very own mixtape this summer.
His partnership with Puma has allowed him to grow and see new sides to business endeavors he hasn’t witnessed thus far. Concerning the excitement around his new deal with Puma, Young Dylan raved, “I was like, ‘WOW, I’m getting a deal with Puma? PUMA?’”
In regards to his highly anticipated mixtape, Young Dylan told 360 that it would consist of eight clean tracks that kids will be able to admire. He aims to make kid-friendly hip-hop/rap inspired pieces that are still as hype and innovative as modern-day explicit pieces we see from older rap stars.
“We can bring clean music but also be as lit as the other songs that have cursing, but just clean!” Young Dylan has been working on this project for quite some time and has made sure that each track is perfected to his standards. “You can definitely see we put a lot of work in on this mixtape that is coming out this summer. It’s gonna be lit!”
As such a prominent child star, Young Dylan has some advice to give to younger children, or anyone that has a dream to have a career just like him: “never give up, if you have a dream, chase it man, don’t let anyone stop you.”
Young Dylan preaches to maintain a humble mindset, and never get too cocky with yourself. He encourages us all to “always be yourself, always be dripped out, and when you step in a room, shine your light.”

South African superstar singer and songwriter TYLA and Afrobeats phenom Ayra Starr are collaborating for the first time on a new single entitled “Girl Next Door.” It notably marks their first collaboration together. Listen to “Girl Next Door”HEREand watch the visualizer HERE. The song is produced by P .Priime (Wizkid, Omah Lay, Bad Boy Timz).
“I absolutely loved working with Ayra Starr on our new single “Girl Next Door” says Tyla. “She’s such a talented artist and I feel like our energies really came together to create something special. I can’t wait for everyone to hear it!”
It lands in the wake of the buzzing “Been Thinking.” Beyond amassing millions of streams, it incited tastemaker applause worldwide. Pitchfork proclaimed, “Her latest single ‘Been Thinking’ is a slick club anthem that channels the seductive pop-R&B hits of mid-2000s Ciara and Rihanna.” Rolling Stone touted the single among its weekly “Songs You Need To Know,” and Notion hailed it as “a slick dance floor heater that revels in seductive R&B.” NMEraved, “The track seamlessly blends R&B with elements of Amapiano – the South African-born genre that fuses African melodies, jazz, piano melodies and deep house music – bringing the latter sound, and its creator, further into the global spotlight.”
Additionally, Tyla has been making waves internationally by fusing Amapiano with pop R&B vocals, earning her critical acclaim from PAPER Magazine, I-D and CLASH.
Making strides in the fashion space as well, Tyla was most notable seen sitting front row at this year’s FW 23 Dolce & Gabbana runway fashion show in Milan Italy, as well as the NYC launch of the H&M Mugler collection.
Last month, Epic Records and Tyla hosted an intimate cocktail and afterparty in NYC. The event brought together artists, influencers, music executives and creatives from the worlds of music, entertainment, fashion, art and culture. Attendees included Alton Mason, Jay Critch, South African recording artist Elaine, stylist Matthew Henson and many more met, mingled and celebrated the success of the young breakout star and her music.
Her debut single ‘Getting Late’ featuring Kooldrink has amassed over 5.5 worldwide million views. She followed it up with the incredible DJ Lag collaboration ‘Overdue’, which soundtracked the trailer for Netflix’s Blood & Water. Tyla returned with ‘To Last’ in 2022 to great acclaim, earning praise from CLASH and The Independent.
Last year, Tyla turned up on “To Last.” It has tallied nearly 1 million cumulative streams thus far and continues to gain traction at DSPs. Out Now dubbed it “dreamy,” and HITS noted, “Tyla’s music shimmers with the euphoria of South African amapiano, as she puts her vibrant personality on full display.”
