This issue kicks off with our cover star Yungblud, who gets brutally honest about his fourth album Idols. It is a raw, rebellious love letter to rock music, self-reclamation and life in all its glorious chaos. It is loud, unapologetic and exactly the energy we are taking into a new term.

We also shine a spotlight on Dai Time, the 18-year-old journalist, creator and entrepreneur who has already worked with Netfl ix and Disney while balancing student life. Recognised by the White House, she is proof that ambition does not wait and her story is as inspiring as it is relatable.
