god, d'angelo. an absolute, indisputable genius who could distill and illuminate the deepest recesses of human vulnerability— love, joy, anguish—unlike anyone else. devastating, devastating news. playing one of my all-time favorite love songs on repeat: youtube.com/watch?v=mVsQwJ…

Had the real pleasure of profiling K-Pop megastar and fashion darling *Jennie* for the cover of @harpersbazaarus! We got into her career within and beyond Blackpink, the pressures of fame/fandom, juggling cultures, ‘The Idol,’ self-discovery, and more: harpersbazaar.com/culture/art-bo…

took me near 30 years to write this essay for @NYTmag. i’m sad. and i’m mad nytimes.com/2024/07/12/mag…

Finally made time to read @senari's contribution to @gkamps' Healings newsletter and while picking favorites around something like this feels fundamentally wrong, this is probably my favorite one yet. (And yes, I did tear up a little) healings.substack.com/p/healings-faq…

@PhilipSherburne @gkamps aw, thanks philip 💗

I miss my dad all the time. It’s a coincidence that this was published today, but I wrote about how his sudden cancer diagnosis and death has shaped how I think about the Big Questions of life

.@NYMag's new cover package, in partnership with the @ColumbiaSpec, is an intimate look at the events on the ground at Columbia University in the midst of antiwar protests. It is written and photographed entirely by staff at the Spectator. Read more: nymag.com/press/article/…

kendrick might be the best music reporter working right now

Since she shows up a couple times on Bey’s new album, feels appropriate to share my Sunday Review from last fall of pioneering country singer Linda Martell’s debut and only album, 1970’s ‘Color Me Country’ pitchfork.com/reviews/albums…

i’m bored, should i start tweeting again

A huge congrats to the 2023 staff of Pitchfork for their second consecutive National Magazine Awards nomination in General Excellence, which commends the work of a publication as a whole. Proud of our team and always honored to be recognized by our peers! asme.media/american-socie…

@jock__derrida if the disagreement you’re referencing is about the record that i think it’s about, i’m still right 😇

@giomsantiago @jock__derrida 💛🫡

@harvilla 💛🫡

i am so heartbroken + pissed about pitchfork; @senari is a truly fantastic editor and leader who'd helped the site grow even further into such a brilliant, funny, open-minded, and forward-thinking place. what a terrible and stupid loss for everyone.

@annkpowers @pitchfork appreciate you, ann 💛

I must say that under @senari’s leadership @pitchfork has expanded its vision in so many ways to become the kind of truly expansive site that can survey the atomized world of popular music. And it’s given us some of the best critics. All love to those who are doing that work.

In light of recent events, I’ve been thinking a lot about my five years at Pitchfork with the best team in the game
