This album was written about a period of unrequited love in my life. It’s a real life coming-of-age story. I am so honored to have worked with Alicia who is an incredible talent and a beautiful soul joining me to re-imagine such a special track to celebrate a decade of In The Lonely Hour.”

Alicia Keys adds, “I LOVED working on this with Sam! And for such a special moment! It’s been on both of our wishlists! The vibe was super intimate. We recorded it at my studio in New York.

Tuấn Andrew Nguyễn

Zeitz MOCAA presents The Other Side of Now, a solo exhibition of film and sculpture by Vietnamese American artist Tuấn Andrew Nguyễn which opens at the museum on Thursday, 22 August at 6 pm. A special members’ preview will take place at 5 pm ahead of the public opening. This exhibition explores the transnational entanglements created by colonisation and war. Attending to the erased voices of Vietnamese, Senegalese, and Moroccan history, it proposes a space for communal healing and remembrance. 

Nguyễn’s films move along spectrums of fact and fiction, past and present, memory and forgetting. He uses the power of storytelling to create speculative visions of painful histories. He opens a doorway of empathy and healing for both the subject and viewer. In letters to a lost family member, imagined conversations between generations, or reincarnation as a means of healing from physical trauma, his work looks at hard pasts to realise healed futures. Read More

The new Range Rover Sport SV EDITION TWO offers a dramatic performance-honed exterior, with four new themes announced for 2024.

This is paired with the new Satin Forged Carbon exterior pack, a painted carbon-fiber bonnet and 23-inch forged black alloy wheels – complemented by Blue Nebula brake calipers. Inside, SV Performance Seats are finished in Light Cloud and Ebony Windsor leather.

For each curation, clients can opt for alternative wheels – including new 22-inch Diamond-Turned alloy wheels with Satin Dark Grey contrast – plus different brake caliper colors. The exterior of each SV EDITION TWO can be specified with a body-colored roof, a new Satin Forged Carbon Fiber Pack, or Twill Carbon Fiber Pack introduced on SV EDITION ONE, as per the client’s preference, and dependent on the exterior paint finish.

Inside, new Satin Forged Carbon Fiber trim finishers can be specified to match the exterior, with Twill Carbon Fiber trim finishers also available, with matching carbon fiber seat backs. Every SV EDITION TWO comes with Body and Soul Seats (BASS) and the option of Knit and Ultrafabrics PU, or Windsor leather.

Interior Design

Range Rover Sport SV vehicle’s interior design enhances the connection between car and driver, reflecting its more focused, sporting character without compromising luxury or refinement.

Exclusive front SV Performance Seats feature integrated headrests, carbon fiber backboards, an illuminated SV logo, and more sculpted bolsters designed to hold the driver and their front-seat passenger in place during high-performance driving. The 16-way adjustable seats feature massage functionality and are heated and cooled for maximum comfort. Cutting-edge Body and Soul Seat in-car sensory technology is fitted as standard.

Matching rear seats – also heated and cooled – feature a more dynamic design with pronounced side bolsters yet retain powered recline and 60/40 split folding functionality. 

Range Rover Sport SV vehicle’s redesigned steering wheel features more pronounced thumb grips, a thicker rim, and exclusive illuminated SV Mode button. A short press puts the vehicle into SV Mode, immediately configuring its suspension, powertrain, steering, transmission, and Active Exhaust for maximum performance. A long press opens the Configurable Dynamics menu, where the driver can tailor the dynamic characteristics of Range Rover Sport SV to suit their preferences.

Rolls-Royce Spectre Semaphore

Rolls-Royce Spectre Semaphore reflects new codes of luxury among marque’s bold, youthful clients

  • Dramatic ‘Marbled Paint Spill’ bonnet took 160 hours of development and pays tribute to the region’s colorful artistry
  • Bespoke Semaphore Yellow paint inspired by informal elegance of coastal California
  • Bespoke digital instrument dials match vivid yellow colorway
  • High-gloss Cashmere Grey wood set incorporates a subtle metallic finish
  • Debut on Friday 16 August at ‘The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering’ 2024
  • Only one Spectre Semaphore to be built globally and is available exclusively through an authorized Rolls-Royce Motor Cars dealer partner in the United States

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars unveils Spectre Semaphore, a Bespoke one-of-one commission that will make its global debut at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, on 16 August, during the 2024 Monterey Car Week in California. This highly Bespoke expression of the ‘Super Coupe” Spectre, captures the bold new codes of luxury being established by the marque’s confident, youthful client base.

To create this motif, Rolls-Royce craftspeople applied silver lacquer and multiple layers of clearcoat for a seamless finish. The bonnet alone is the product of over 160 hours of design, development, and production.

The bright, yellow colorway extends into the motor car’s interior. A combination of Bespoke Lemon Yellow and Citrine Yellow is used across the seats, Starlight doors, and above the instrument panel. It blends into the contrasting Grace White and Slate Grey hues with Lemon Yellow stitching. The marque’s designers also leveraged the digital Bespoke potential offered by the SPIRIT operating system by complementing the dials to the motor car’s yellow colorway.

Spectre Semaphore maximizes the interior suite’s contemporary design with a clean, high-polish Bespoke painted wood set. Colored to match the grey material accents, the Cashmere Grey paint is infused with silver mica flakes, which creates a vivacious sparkle under direct light. 

Only one Rolls-Royce Spectre Semaphore will be built. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars will present the commission on 16 August at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, during Monterey Car Week 2024.
