What Would You Change?

This video by PIVOT Dublin about design and its importance to all of life completely AMAZED me. Everything from the configuration of the design images, the application of their form in a manner that enables functionality, to the music scores, choreography et cetera stuns me.

UK-based radio station, KISS fm recently welcomed the soulful Solange Knowles into their studios to talk about her latest EP,   T R U E.
