Inspired by their shared fascination with light and its role in creating a unique ambiance, founders Eddie Kurayev and Albert Akbashev have crafted a truly remarkable sculpture. “Bright Idea” takes the shape of a vintage light bulb and showcases the intricate beauty of disassembled watch movements from timepieces between 50 and 100 years old.
This limited-edition vintage-inspired piece pays homage to a bygone era when incandescent bulbs were commonplace, now replaced by LED technology. By repurposing these historical components, Berd Vay’e breathes new life into them, allowing them to be appreciated once more. The transformation marked by the government’s ban on vintage light bulbs adds an element of historical relevance to this stunning creation.
We are thrilled to announce that “Bright Idea” has been selected as the first piece to be sold at the prestigious Sotheby’s auction on June 9th—a testament to its exceptional craftsmanship and unique character. The sculpture will surely pique the interest of collectors who appreciate vintage artifacts and one-of-a-kind works of art.

Gearing up for her biggest and most personal season yet, multi-platinum recording artist Coi Leraypresents a dynamic new EP entitled Blue Moon out now via Uptown Records/Republic Records. Listen HERE.
Once again, the project finds Coi firing on all cylinders, using her songwriting as a diary to reveal her unique perspective on life. She laces highly quotable bars with irresistible hooks, showcasing her lyrical acumen and impressive vocal delivery at the same time. She opens up the world of Blue Moon with the single and music video “Isabel Marant.” Ethereal production underscores her breathy verses as she reminds, “They can’t fuck with Coi Leray.” It culminates on a hypnotic hook that’s impossible to shake. The accompanying visual intercuts vignettes of Coi underwater, shimmering in blue glitter, and ruling this fever dream like a bossed-up high fashion mermaid.
Connecting deeper with her fans, she passionately shared on Instagram, “This EP, I get vulnerable. I got tired of “trying” new things and wanted to just do what I do BEST. I have a hard time with telling my story because I get wrapped up in the media narratives, however music is the best way for me to tell it. Sorry I can’t argue with yall on the internet all day. It’s my life, my story, so why not let me tell it? Shit.. at least give me a chance to. The amount of pressure I have on me in the music industry is wild. I mean, who knew I would be walking red carpets and stages with the same icons I listened to growing up. Being nominated or sitting next to ICONS on the Billboard charts in my lil 5-year run. I’m just grateful to have come this far. Just like @bustarhymes said, “who am I to judge someone who’s journey isn’t finished?” Enjoy – Coi”
It just continues a prolific summer for the superstar. She recently dropped her self-titled album, COI. It included the multiplatinum mega-smash “Players” and earned unanimous critical acclaim. HYPEBEAST proclaimed, “Leray is ready to prove herself once again on the new COI,” and HipHopDX raved, “Leray returns triumphant on sophomore effort COI – a follow-up that strips out the excessive features and autotune, and returns the focus to Leray’s eclectic set of influences, talent for pop hooks, and sex-positive flow.” HotNewHipHop also attested, “This new project features 16 tracks that are both catchy and engaging.”
Simultaneously, she has continued to make waves in the fashion world as one of the culture’s hottest crossover stars. Her presence has already proven inescapable, appearing on one cover after another for the likes of NUMERO, PAPER, UPROXX, and EUPHORIA. Not to mention, she has shined in features by W, V Magazine, Interview, Elle, i-D, and more with high-fashion spreads. All of this just sets the stage for more moves in fashion as she cements herself as a style icon.

This new song celebrates the quartet’s unstoppable rise to the top and perfectly encapsulates their defiant, fun-loving attitude.

The enormous success of BORN PINK is just the latest achievement in what has been a meteoric ascent for the K-pop group. After releasing global hits like “How You Like That” and their song with SelenaGomez “Ice Cream,” BLACKPINK released THE ALBUM in 2020 to universal acclaim. The captivating project debuted at No. 2 on both the U.S. Billboard 200 and UK Official Chart, and sold more than 1.4 million copies worldwide, making BLACKPINK the first K-pop girl group to sell over a million units.
With “The Girls,” BLACKPINK begins a new chapter as the group continues to win new fans the world over.

Alongside the single arrives the cinematic visual directed by Madison & Aerin Moreno, in which Madison finds herself in a dream-like sequence as she discovers the world around her is frozen in time – watch HERE.
Speaking about the release, Madison said “This song is a reflection of a time when everything seemed to stand still. I felt like every day was a cycle and I was stuck in such an anxious place, yet I could finally explore the thoughts and emotions in my head. I dreamed of a video that was cinematic and visually striking that brought those emotions to life, and I’m so proud of what we created.”
Madison first teased “Spinnin’” during her performance for Good Morning America’s Summer Concert Series. The song comes from Madison’s highly anticipated sophomore album Silence Between Songs, arriving September 15, 2023 via EPIC Records. With her exceptional talent for storytelling and emotional depth, Madison will explore themes of growth, reflection, and introspection. Paying homage to some of her favorite artists such as Lana Del Rey, The Beatles, The Beach Boys and Tame Impala, Madison will deliver a refreshing and innovative sonic experience and infuse the album’s visual aesthetics with her distinctive artistic vision.
Speaking on the album, Madison said“I’ve learned so much about myself and my artistry on the journey of the last two years since my last record. This album tells the story of so many different pieces of me that I discovered in the moments of pause where I settled down from the noise and learned the most about myself. I hope my fans are as inspired listening to it as I was when creating it.”
“Spinnin’” is available to stream on all platforms HERE.
