Series: Significant Others
Significant Others is an Australian family drama-thriller series from the ABC. The series follows the extended family of Sarah, a single mother of two, who mysteriously disappears.

Album: Multitudes Fiest
Multitudes is the sixth album from Canadian artist Fiest. Multitudes is the quietest album to-date sung by Fiest’s smokey and sultry voice. The songs have the same melodic sound that is so typical of Fiest, but the album has more ballads than the usual pop songs. Multitudes came after a difficult period of time for Fiest, and so is deeply personal and tinged with longing. Multitudes is available on Spotify and Bandcamp.
