"Known for shedding new light on legends of popular culture and championing revolutionary voices, BEAT magazine reflects the depth and breadth of a playlist--bringing together high with low, mainstream with the underground, and mixing genres and styles with a few surprises thrown in. Structured around themes drawn from artists' own insights--from the fortune of being in the right place at the right time to the hustle and passion required to make it--the book reflects the eclecticism of pop's new generation, where indie heroes like Devontâe Hynes and St Vincent sit alongside pop megastars such as Lil Nas X and Neneh Cherry, and icons such as Debbie Harry and Nick Cave rub shoulders with Mykki Blanco and Charli XCX. BEAT has always ensured that it focuses on music to feel excited about, whatever that sounds like. The magazine published both Lizzo's and Grimes's first photo shoots, and the last piece of press David Bowie ever did."--[...].
