Kimbra – Stuff I Don’t Need

Having shared one song a week since the release of lead single “Stuff I Don’t Need” ft. BANKS in July, two-time GRAMMY award-winning artist Kimbra today unveils her new album Idols & Vices (Vol. 1) in its entirety, out everywhere via Inertia / [PIAS]. LISTEN HERE.

Featuring collaborations with a host of genre-bending artists including BANKS, Dawn Richard, DRAM, Skrillex and Sahtyre, Idols & Vices (Vol. 1) is a celebration of Kimbra’s early influence of 90’s R&B, fused with the sonic stylings of contemporary pop, soul and hip hop. Executive produced by Kimbra and Taylor Graves  – the album traverses the increasingly complex realm of our digital existence, as Kimbra reinvents herself alongside some of her closest friends.

Kimbra explores the disillusionment of our online era and constructs an entirely new world full of stimulus and temptation (‘Keen’ ft. DRAM), the allure of youth in our culture of celebrity worship (‘Demi God’ ft. Sahtyre), and the covert deception of online personas in recent single ‘Catch Ya In The Lie’ ft. Le’Asha, of which Kimbra shares: “I drew inspiration from catfish culture and stalkers to write this song. We can say almost anything behind digital masks until caught in the lie. It’s about reclaiming power when taken by people who seek to destroy and deceive.”

Kimbra’s latest song, ‘Honeycomb’, is a collaboration with Candy Crush Saga that invited her to play with the game’s iconic sounds to create an original track. Drawing inspiration from the Idols & Vices (Vol. 1) universe, Kimbra blended her signature style with Candified sounds to create a song that feels both nostalgic and explosive. Of its eclectic impetus, Kimbra says “I like to approach my work with a sense of curiosity and discovery— that playfulness is at the heart of my creative process. Sampling the Candy Crush sounds was a wonderful reminder of the joy and freedom that music allows.”

WATCH: ‘Honeycomb’

With a holistic approach to collaboration for this project, Kimbra enlisted New Zealand animator Greg Sharp (Childish Gambino, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Rick & Morty) to craft mid-90s anime-inspired visuals to accompany each song on the record. The otherworldly videos serve as individual episodes of the album’s overall arc, following 10 characters as they navigate through an abyss of elaborate fantasies and distractions in the search for moments of awakening.

Idols & Vices (Vol. 1) is the follow-up to Kimbra’s 2023 album A Reckoning, a 10-track project that saw the artist at her most confessional as she encourages listeners to find catharsis and connection through the songs. A Reckoning earned praise from outlets globally such as Billboard, The Guardian, Double J (Feature Album), Consequence, PAPER, The Telegraph and others, marking a distinctive new era for Kimbra.

Shortly after the release of her 2023 record, she embarked on an Australia and New Zealand tour including coveted performances at The Sydney Opera House for Vivid LIVE and Melbourne Recital Hall, with a triumphant homecoming at Auckland’s Synthony In The Domain. Most recently, Kimbra concluded a run of U.S. shows as the special guest for musical prodigy, Jacob Collier.

Idols & Vices (Vol.1) LP by Kimbra is out now via Inertia / [PIAS],

JAYLEN BROWN – 741

NBA MVP and Boston Celtics champion Jaylen Brown has officially launched his debut performance brand, 741, marking a bold new chapter in his career. In a remarkable move, Brown has turned down over $50 million in endorsement deals from major sneaker companies to pursue full ownership and creative control of his own brand. 741 is now available for pre-order at www.741performance.com, with products set to go live for sale on October 22, 2024, both online and at select retailers.

The name 741 carries a deep personal significance for Brown, rooted in his connection to numbers and their spiritual meanings. Throughout his life, the numbers 7, 4, and 1 have appeared frequently, each representing spiritual awakening, hard work, and new beginnings, respectively. Together, these numbers align with Brown’s decision to step out on faith and pursue his own path, defying industry norms to create something truly reflective of his values. Brown explains, “741 is more than just a sneaker brand—it’s a statement about independence, creativity, and ownership.”

With the launch of 741, Jaylen Brown has established a groundbreaking company that aims to achieve four unprecedented goals in the sneaker and apparel industry. First, 741 is dedicated to creating technologically advanced, performance-driven products with no compromises in design or functionality. Second, it introduces a new economic model for endorsed athletes, giving them more ownership and control over their brands. Third, 741 ensures accessibility for all households, offering high-performance products at an affordable price. Finally, the company is committed to providing career opportunities to aspiring professionals from underserved communities, opening doors in all areas of performance and fashion retail.

The creation of 741 stems from Brown’s desire to create a solution for the traditional athlete endorsement model. By launching 741, Brown has created a brand where he is self-funding, designing, and producing from the ground up. He describes the decision to turn down $50 million in offers as a necessary step toward building something lasting, stating, “The understanding of ownership and value is what’s important for the next generation of athletes. It’s time to think different and be different… create new ideas. It’s time to create more value for everyone involved, from athletes to consumers to employees and the communities that support them”.

Inspiration for launching his own brand also came from Kobe Bryant, who, before his passing, was preparing to start his own independent sneaker line. Brown, a longtime fan of Bryant, was deeply moved by his vision. “Kobe’s journey taught me about being fearless and pushing sports, along with society, to new heights. That’s the mindset I’m bringing to 741,” says Brown, noting that the timing was right after signing one of the largest contracts in NBA history. With 741, he intends to build a legacy that transcends his NBA career, embodying his values of independence, creativity, and leadership.

Jaylen Brown also plans to revolutionize athlete endorsement deals by signing athletes directly to 741. These partnerships will offer athletes more control over their sneaker designs, tailoring products to their specific needs and style. Brown is committed to providing better financial terms and more creative freedom than traditional sneaker deals, empowering athletes to shape their brands and retain more of the profits. His goal is to shift the energy around how athletes engage with sneaker companies, focusing on true ownership and partnership.

Brown has fully immersed himself in every aspect of designing 741. Over the past two years, he has worked tirelessly, learning from industry giants and gaining hands-on experience in design while collaborating with Yeezy. This effort has resulted in sneakers and apparel that reflect his forward-thinking approach, blending performance and style with an emphasis on quality. “I’ve poured everything into designing 741, and it’s been just as challenging and rewarding as anything I’ve done on the court,” says Brown.

Accessibility is another cornerstone of 741, especially for young people and underserved communities. Brown has set a low cost rate for big kid sizes, a price point that is 40% or more below competitors. By making these premium shoes affordable, Brown is ensuring that families can purchase high-quality, stylish sneakers for their children without financial strain. “I want 741 to be a brand that gives back and makes sure kids of all walks of life can have shoes they love, without the crazy price tags,” says Brown.

Aligned with Jaylen Brown’s mission to address the wealth gap, 741 is dedicated to creating pathways for aspiring professionals from underrepresented communities. By offering exposure and career opportunities across various sectors—such as design, engineering, product development, sales, marketing, finance, and operations—Brown is positioning 741 as more than just a performance and apparel company. It serves as a platform for emerging talent to gain valuable experience and contribute to a leading brand, helping to break down barriers and create long-term economic opportunities in industries where diversity has often been lacking.

With the launch of 741, Jaylen Brown is not only redefining the boundaries of athlete-owned brands but also creating a lasting impact on the sneaker industry. His commitment to innovation, accessibility, and empowering athletes ensures that 741 is more than just a brand—it’s a movement that champions independence and creativity. As Brown’s journey continues, 741 stands as a testament to his dedication both on and off the court, and his vision to inspire the next generation to pursue their dreams on their own terms.

Today, the blockchain-enabled fashion brand, mmERCH, announces the global launch of its highly anticipated second drop, the mmERCH Seedphrase Collection. This collection of 322 one-of-one-of-x generative hoodies is inspired by Seedphrase’s iconic 7-trait CryptoPunk #8348. Every hoodie begins in its digital form as an NFT and is made to order at the time of redemption, as mmERCH progresses their commitment to zero-inventory fashion production.

The Seedphrase Collection further showcases mmERCH’s focus on “Neo-Couture” — luxury collections of irrefutably unique, exquisitely crafted items, where each is a singular design that links art and fashion across the digital and physical realms. Leveraging generative design and blockchain technology, mmERCH has created a collection that is not just worn but experienced, enjoyed, and owned in entirely new ways.

This collection, led and produced by mmERCH, is designed in collaboration with Web3 influencer, DJ, and digital art patron, Daniel Maegaard, aka Seedphrase, and features components by world-renowned, global luxury crystal brand, Swarovski, and includes commissioned art by celebrated AI artist, Claire Silver.

Our community appreciates that each garment is not just an item of clothing but a work of art – a tech-enabled luxury piece that also acts as a passport unlocking unique cultural experiences. We are thrilled to be working with such esteemed partners and collaborators to bring our community something that not only looks amazing but has real world utility.”

Users mint an NFT that allows them to claim a physical hoodie crafted from luxurious Italian-milled Neoprene Doppia Faccia that’s cut, sewn, and assembled in Los Angeles. After claiming the physical hoodie, they receive an additional NFT created by renowned AI collaborative artist, Claire Silver. The hoodies feature mmERCH’s signature details, including 3-dimensional logo embroidery, embroidered red eyelets, and trademark red interior neck detailing. Each hoodie style is paired with its own edition of artwork, with rarer styles having smaller edition numbers. 

Seedphrase, the crypto personality whose CryptoPunk inspired the collection, shared his excitement and inspiration for the collaboration: “I’m thrilled to collaborate with mmERCH on this incredible project. Seedphrase has always stood at the crossroads of culture – where the best in fashion, art, music and technology converge – so when Colby shared her vision for mmERCH I knew we had to do something really special together. I love how we’ve brought each attribute of the unique #8348 CryptoPunk to life with beautiful attention to detail and Swarovski delivering that final touch of luxe. This collection truly pushes the boundaries of individuality, craftsmanship and innovation.”
