An artist/entertainer who can do it all, Tinashe is quickly making herself known across multiple genres and throughout entertainment fields as one of the rawest and most compelling musicians today. She has all the marks of a true artist: fully immersed in her craft — and handling almost all of it single-handedly — ambitiously serious and undeniably fun. Tinashe’s instinct for rhythm accompanies the kind of undressed lyrics that leave any listener feeling themselves, dancing in what she calls a “collaboration” with her fans, especially to her new hit single, “Needs.”

In 1991, a band from the Pacific Northwest was seen for the first time by millions when their video for the song “Smells Like Teen Spirit” aired on MTV. Many music pundits credit that band — Nirvana — and that video, specifically, for ushering in a new era in rock music.

Back in 2007, Mötley Crüe was celebrating the 20th anniversary of their album “Girls, Girls, Girls.” ED Publications, in turn, celebrated the most popular song in the history of the strip club industry—you guessed it, “Girls, Girls, Girls.” That’s why the Crue landed on the cover of our July 2007 issue, which was accompanied by an in-depth look into the song that helped define an entire industry.

Candlebox was always a bit of an enigma. As a band that formed in the early ‘90s in Seattle, one might assume that they rode the grunge wave to success.
