HiPhi Named as Prestigious Interbrand ‘Breakthrough Brand’ 2023

HiPhi, the pioneering electric vehicle manufacturer, has been named as one of the prestigious Interbrand ‘Breakthrough Brands 2023’. This coveted recognition celebrates companies demonstrating outstanding innovation, disruptive strategies, and rapid growth. Founded only in 2019, HiPhi has quickly become the best-selling premium EV brand in China, with ambitious global expansion plans already underway.

Interbrand, a global brand consultancy, has long been recognized as an authority in evaluating and assessing brands’ impact and influence. The Breakthrough Brands award is a testament to HiPhi’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of the automotive industry and transforming the future of mobility. HiPhi is the smart car division of Human Horizons, a company founded by David Ding to transform the future of human mobility with a 3 Smart strategy: smart car, smart roads and smart cities.

Human Horizons and HiPhi Founder David Ding, said: “At HiPhi, we recognize the need to disrupt the automotive industry to transform the mobility arena all over the world. Interbrand’s Breakthrough Brands ranking has always represented the brands that are making an impact by doing something different; turning the established order on its head or quickly advancing a slow-moving industry. As a brand only five years old, we have already established HiPhi as the best-selling premium EV brand in the largest automotive market on Earth. And now we will bring our revolutionary products to the world.”

The HiPhi range consists of HiPhi X Super SUV and HiPhi Z Digital GT – the brand’s twin flagship models. The HiPhi X is an all-electric luxury super SUV which features a number of world and industry firsts, blending cutting-edge technology with luxury and advanced design, including no-touch automatic wing-opening doors. Its powertrain combines 220kW dual motors at the front and rear, allowing for 0-62mph (100km/h) in 3.9 seconds, while a 97kWh battery pack provides a potential range of 460km under Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP) conditions.

The HiPhi Z is a groundbreaking all-electric luxury GT which first begun production in China during 2022. It delivers a maximum output of 494kW via dual electric motors, to provide acceleration from 0-62mph (100km/h) in 3.8 seconds. The 120kWh battery offers a potential 555km range under WLTP conditions. The model showcases a host of innovations, including the world-first HiPhi Bot, a robotic, multi-axis arm infotainment system with four degrees of freedom and eight-direction high-speed motion that can rotate between portrait and landscape modes.

The HiPhi Y was revealed at the Shanghai Auto Show in April 2023, joining as the third member of the HiPhi family, bringing the same blend of striking design, luxury and advanced technology. Orders for HiPhi Y will be available by the end of 2023.

HiPhi’s global expansion plans are unfolding rapidly, with the HiPhi X and the HiPhi Z now available to order in Germany and Norway, with the first vehicles already registered for road use, following inspection by TÜV SÜD.

Muni Long – BET AWARDS

The stars aligned this weekend as the biggest names in culture gathered for the annual BET Awards. GRAMMY Award-winning singer Muni Long showed up and showed out, shutting down the red carpet with her curly locks and taut abs.

The sultry songstress who recently released the highly anticipated remix of her hit song “Hrs & Hrs” featuring Usher shimmered in a Elisabetta Franchi sequin crop top with a matching skirt. She completed the look with voluminous summer curls. But it wasn’t all fashion and celebration for Long, who took the BET Awards stage and delivered a powerful statement of solidarity for the WGA writer’s strike before presenting Kalii’s performance. “Writers are, in many instances, the glue to the execution of artistry and storytelling. Our ability to extract emotion from performers, helping them to articulate their voices and vision to the world, is irreplaceable. The protection of the writer is crucial. We simply must protect our intellectual property,” said Long. Her words echoed deeply in the Microsoft Theater, where the Award show with no host was held.

The Grammy-award-winning singer was also on hand in a sexy red leather Cavanagh Baker number to help celebrate Busta Rhymes, Chloe and Halle Bailey, MC Lyte, and more at the 7th annual Culture Creator Awards, where she presented Flau’Jae Johnson with the Culture Creators Award in Sports.
About Muni Long

Before her soulful, conversational songwriting and powerful vocals caught fire around the world with “Hrs And Hrs,” Muni Long spent a decade as one of the best-kept behind-the-curtain secret weapons in the industry. Her journey as a much-in-demand songwriter, co-mingling R&B, rap, and pop, resulted in a diverse catalog of hits accumulated by Rihanna, Mariah Carey, Madonna, Chris Brown, Ariana Grande, Mary J. Blige, Kelly Clarkson, and Selena Gomez.

Anitta – Funk Rave

Kicking off a massive new chapter, record-breaking international superstar Anitta unveils a new single entitled “Funk Rave.” It marks her first release under her newly minted deal with Republic Records in partnership with Universal Music Latin Entertainment.

Listen to “Funk Rave” HERE.

About the song

Anitta commented, “All the music I’ve been making for the past year is music I’m so proud of. It’s both incredibly Brazilian and intentionally international – I made sure it sounds like me in every fiber of the music. Brazilian funk is my roots. It’s what I was born and raised doing. It’s home to me. I made this new music with the intention of showing everyone those roots, what’s most important to me, and leading with ‘Funk Rave’ does exactly that.”

The track finds the iconic artist intimately connecting to her roots. This time around, she leans into a Brazilian funk bounce, updating a classic style for the next generation. From the jump, she teases, “Look at what you can’t have, boss bitch,” before delivering an up-tempo dancefloor-ready refrain.

Anitta initially teased “Funk Rave” earlier this month when she debuted the single live during the Opening Ceremony of the UEFA Champions League Finals in Istanbul, Turkey. Her performance sent fans into a frenzy as they clamored for the track’s official arrival. Meeting the demand, she has delivered what’s shaping up to be a global anthem.

Watch the performance HERE

This week, Anitta attended the Louis Vuitton Men’s Spring Summer 2024 fashion show. Earlier this year, she received a nomination in the category of “Best New Artist” at the 2023 Grammy Awards. It capped off a string of history-making moves, including achieving Guinness World Records® as the “First Solo Latin Artist to Reach #1 on Spotify Globally” and the 2022 winner of Best Latin at the VMAs, EMAs and AMAs. Meanwhile, her 2022 multilingual opus, Versions of Me, tallied billions of streams and claimed spots on year-end best album lists by Billboard, Rolling Stone, Stereogum, UPROXX, Variety, and more.

Stay tuned for more news and announcements from Anitta.

About Anitta

Since breaking through in Brazil six years ago, Grammy-nominated global superstar Anitta has become the leading artist of a new generation of Latin American music.

Anitta’s first single of 2022, “Envolver,” became the biggest solo debut by a Brazilian artist in the history of the Spotify Global Chart and broke Anitta’s record by reaching #1 on iTunes in 19 countries. She also released her latest album Versions of Me in April 2022. The 15-track album was released in Spanish, English, and Portuguese and holds the record of biggest streaming week for a Brazilian artist on Spotify. It now has surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify.

Last summer, she won a 2022 MTV Music Video Award® in the category of “Best Latin” for “Envolver,” further making history and earning her second Guinness World Record as the “first Brazilian solo artist to win the MTV VMA for Best Latin (female).” The win followed an explosive performance by Anitta, who made her VMA broadcast performance debut with “Envolver.” In 2019, she also won “Best Female Artist” at the Latin AMAs. Starting in 2014, Anitta was named “Best Brazilian Act” at the MTV Europe Music Awards for five consecutive years.

LV BY THE POOL

LV By The Pool is an immersive lifestyle summer capsule interpreted by all Métiers: women, leather goods, travel, ready-to-wear, accessories, and fragrances. Pieces are all embellished by similar exclusive artworks inspired from the tiles in the historical Maison d’Asnières. For the collection’s leather goods, LV has revisited its iconic Monogram canvas with a new, fresh aquarelle-effect Monogram print.

With LV By The Pool, Louis Vuitton proposes a total lifestyle collection dedicated to travel through the summer season with a relaxed wardrobe showcasing classic and new creations.

The Maison’s heritage shifts into holiday mode; classic and new creations capture a fresh approach to destination dressing and living. A relaxed wardrobe adapted for seaside and city, the collection also comprises a wide range of Louis Vuitton’s métiers such as ready-to-wear, bags, silks, shoes, sunglasses, jewellery and accessories – all suited to getaways near and far.

Imagine strolling the streets of Lisbon, daydreaming by the side of a pool or feeling the warmth of sand underfoot: not a single point of departure, but several. These play out primarily through various animations of the Monogram, each with a summery look and an artistic spirit. The mosaic pattern that appears throughout – from a watercolour effect on swimwear and silk squares to graphic arrangements on beach towels and pillows – draws inspiration from Portuguese Azulejos tiles in tones of blue that also evoke open skies and ocean depths.

Ready-to-wear leans towards casual sophistication – at once travel-friendly and versatile. Crochet pieces lightly skim the body with instant allure, while knit layers express carefree ease and pair with swimwear.

Highlighting the tiled Monogram, jersey pieces are light and feminine, just as skirts, shorts and dresses span a range of silhouettes. Looks in black and white remain a timeless expression of dressed-down elegance. Cover-ups including caftans and pareos are essential for vacations, whereas additional outerwear and separates bridge the season no matter how the days are spent.

A selection of the Maison’s signature bags – Speedy, Keepall, Métis and NéoNoé – interpret the enlarged Monogram animation, which is contrasted with trim in the mosaic pattern. On a cream base of coated canvas, shades of blue, rose and beige bring novelty to the Maison’s iconic motif. A new raffia-like material enhanced with Monogram embroidery, crafted from natural cotton, offers a supple texture for bags, shoes and accessories. High-end models are also adorned with summery details: Twist is crafted from a crochet material showcasing a colourful flower pattern while Capucines is revisited in an elevated natural rattan and an enchanting tweed. Coussin is embellished with a delicate braided silk scarf on the chain.

For a complete look, LV By The Pool includes shoe styles that capture the essence of getaway chic. The LV Isola mule arrives as a new icon – recognisable for its crafted LV circle up top and the tile motif around the sole. Meanwhile Starboard platform sandals and slip-ons stand out for their mix of natural cotton, embroidery and espadrille soles. Hats span classic to novelty, whether a leather sandal or the LV Croisière crochet bucket hat with eye-catching embroidery. A range of striking sunglasses boast timeless shapes in seasonal shades of pink and blue.

Beyond being highly wearable, the collection also speaks to the Louis Vuitton way of life. A Monogram print hammock, folding chair and beach racquet set are among the items elevating leisure time, while a new tablewear range in Porcelaine de Limoges underscores a respect for fine craftmanship. As a 360-degree offer, the collection transcends holiday time, furthering the pleasures of travel while making a veritable, visual splash.

NEMORE – FREE

Watch Official Video HERE.

Albatross’ ship was a sailboat that became famous when it sank in 1961. Originally built in Amsterdam, the ship, unlike the Titanic, has been salvaged and moored on the shores of the UK. The captain, NEMORE, found comfort in the expression of his leadership until he began to question the nature and formation of objects, be they aquatic or not. How many years have we been at sea?

With natural components, this ship was designed by someone to teach both afar and afloat. NEMORE has remembered five parts with close to fifty members. As the rum and dust dissipated, his tolerance towards some of his passengers diminished.
