ILLENIUM Is Bringing His Three-Set “Trilogy” Show to Denver In Summer 2023
ILLENIUM is bringing the biggest show in his career to Denver in 2023. Last year, the Grammy-nominated producer took the stage at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas for the massive outing, “Trilogy.” Now, with two years to plan his return, he’s taking things to the next level with its sophomore edition in Colorado. Performing for four hours straight, ILLENIUM threw down three sets representing each of his first three albums, Ashes, Awake and Ascend. He then followed with a bonus preview set consisting of songs from his then-unreleased album, Fallen Embers. Considering the fact that he now has four albums under his belt, it’s not yet clear how he will handle the incorporation of Fallen Embers now that it’s been released. Like last year’s event at th...
Even Fame & Stardom Can’t Take Away Tems’ Peace of Mind
Hearing Tems speak is as soothing as hearing her sing. During our 20-minute conversation, you realize how cerebral and calculated the Afrobeats singer is. She doesn’t rush to answer questions: She pauses and then gingerly paces her way through until she reaches the goal line. Even when she encounters a less-weighty topic, such as remixing a song of choice, she lingers — before cueing up a response that makes you want to join in on the action and jam alongside her down Oxford Street. “I would choose Bob Marley’s ‘Is This Love’ or ‘No Woman Don’t Cry,’ because those are one of my favorites,” she says reassuringly. “I’m in London right now, so ‘Is This Love’ is the best song to listen to when walking down any street in London. You should try it whenever you’re here, just to try it...

It’s easy to see why Yvie made such a formidable connection with a younger, more rebellious audience — her performances during her original season oozed with an original, obstreperous spirit that quickly came to define her drag persona.
