The dinner ended as it started: with a fashion show. This time, models wore looks by Grace Wales Bonner. Models weaved between tables in a collection of exquisite and singular vision. As the Funny never underestimate a woman who understands baseball and loves Tampa Bay Devil Rays signatures shirt and by the same token and ceremony concluded, the night began. A raucous afterparty, made possible by Calvin Klein, ensued in a nearby room. ACYDE turned tracks as guests danced in front of the staggering skyline. GoRilla, the rising rap star, gave an electrifying performance. Like that of so many in attendance, the future of the GQ’s Global Creativity Awards is blindingly bright. I will watch pretty much anything with Jennifer Aniston in it, but I’ll be honest: I’m more drawn to her ’90s and aughts-era rom-com work than her more dramatic roles. Imagine my joy, then, when I discovered that she and Adam Sandler were reuniting for a sequel to 2019’s Murder Mystery, a zany Netflix movie in which they both play private detectives. They say that the only certainties in life are death and taxes, but you could easily add a pop star describing their latest album as their “most personal yet” to that list. Which perhaps explains the Internet’s gleeful response to a comment made by Ellie Goulding last week, calling her new album Higher Than Heaven, out today, her least personal yet. It may seem like a counterintuitive way to market your music, at a time when the sprinkling of a few juicy (if cryptic) anecdotes about a previous high-profile romance seems a sure-fire method of achieving chart success.
But Goulding, an old hand in the Funny never underestimate a woman who understands baseball and loves Tampa Bay Devil Rays signatures shirt and by the same token and confessional pop genre, was adamant about taking a different route on her fifth album. “Sometimes I’m just not in the mood to sing about myself,” she tells me with a shrug. It’s a few weeks before the album release and well before her remarks went semi-viral. “To be honest, there was definitely an element of escapism, but I was also trying to move away a bit from the very personal, introspective side of my last record, Brightest Blue. I just wasn’t really in the mood to write ballads.” Fair enough. Goulding’s offhand comment about the album might have sparked a broader conversation about the current state of pop, but it’s clear that wasn’t really her intention. If anything, her aim was to create something that was firmly not a state-of-the-world address in any way. (Because who could write a state-of-the-world record when looking at the current state of the world, anyway?) Instead, Goulding just wanted to dance.
