The Advice That Will Change How You Think About Success In this episode from 2025, Gwyneth sits down with Emma Grede — founder of Good American, co-founder of Skims, and author of Start With Yourself — to talk about what it really takes to build an empire. Emma opens up about growing up in East London with no money, dropping out of school at 16, and betting on herself when no one else would. They get into why women need to stop being polite about money, what it really takes to lead with intention, and the daily gratitude practice she swears by.

The East London district of West Ham might be best known globally for the football team of the same name, but in the late 19th century, the area became famous for something much darker. West Ham, and in particular, a single road within the district, became the scene for a series of unusual disappearances that took place over more than a decade, as young girls were vanished away from the streets, never to be seen again. At least until one was found dead and stuffed into a cupboard in an empty house.SOURCES Bondeson, Jan (2016) Rivals of The Ripper: Unsolved Murders of Women in Late Victorian London.

Recent research suggests that nearly three million schoolchildren in the UK have experienced hygiene poverty in the past year. This means everyday essentials such as shampoo, toothpaste and laundry detergent have become unaffordable for their families.The consequences are significant: hygiene poverty can affect confidence and the ability to learn, and in some cases lead to children avoiding school altogether. And while the wider causes of hygiene poverty require systemic solutions, we're increasingly seeing school staff stepping in to support students and their families. In this episode, Sam Wass, director of the Institute for the Science of Early Years at the University of East London, and Gemma Humphreys, senior campaigns manager at smol, join NAHT assistant general secretary James Bowen to explore how schools can recognise and respond to this issue. They discuss what to say (and what not to say), handling peer comments, protecting a child's dignity, and how to have sensitive conversations with compassion and confidence. The new smol hygiene poverty resource for school staff is available at smol.com/teacherresource.

Nous commençons cette émission par une page environnement, cela intéresse tous les pays maritimes. En question, la protection des poissons face aux envahissantes activités de pêche. Pêcheurs de plus en plus nombreux, parfois clandestins, s'ajoutent aux chalutiers industriels de pus en plus grand...

Surpêche, chalutage illégal : souvent bien difficile de repérer les fraudeurs. Le long des côtes cambodgiennes, une solution se dessine. 5 000 blocs de béton sont en train d'être disposés sous l'eau pour dissuader les pécheurs de venir traîner là leurs filets. Historiquement au Cambodge, on mange surtout du poisson d'eau douce issu du Mékong. Pour diversifier la ressource, on regarde maintenant vers la mer. Mais déjà, des menaces planent.

Depuis plusieurs mois, Donald Trump cible directement l'Afrique du Sud. Dans ses discours, le président américain accuse Pretoria de ne pas protéger les fermiers afrikaners blancs, qu'il prétend victimes d'un « génocide ». (Rediffusion du 10 décembre 2025) De notre envoyé spécial de retour de Johannesburg Les démentis sud-africains n'y changent rien. Washington sanctionne : boycott du G20 organisé à Johannesburg, exclusion de l'Afrique du Sud du prochain sommet États-Unis/Afrique et, surtout, décisions économiques lourdes, notamment des droits de douane de 30% sur les exportations sud-africaines. Pour East London, ville du Cap-Oriental dont l'économie dépend largement de l'usine Mercedes-Benz, la punition américaine est un séisme. Sur le port d'East London, la scène est pourtant immuable : rangées de berlines alignées sous les projecteurs, grues immobiles dans l'air salin, ouvriers qui s'affairent en attendant les navires. Dirk Botes, responsable clientèle, détaille l'organisation du terminal automobile : « Cette zone peut préstocker environ 1 400 voitures. Dans le hangar là-bas, un peu moins de 4 000, et sur l'esplanade ouverte environ 1 500. » Ce soir, un navire doit pourtant accoster avec plusieurs heures de retard, perturbé par le mauvais temps. « Il va charger ces véhicules, décharger ceux qui arrivent d'Europe, puis on recommencera avec le bateau suivant », explique-t-il. Ce ballet, autrefois parfaitement réglé, s'est ralenti au fil des mois. Le port exporte de moins en moins de voitures, essentiellement des Mercedes Classe C dont les ventes déclinent depuis plusieurs années. Sphiwe Mthembu, le directeur du port, ne masque pas son inquiétude : « La situation nous touche directement. Quand un constructeur présent depuis soixante-cinq ans commence soudain à souffrir d'une baisse de volumes, cela nous affecte immédiatement. Nous recevons des conteneurs destinés à l'usine : si l'usine tourne moins bien, le port en subit l'impact. Nous devons absolument garder Mercedes-Benz ici et attirer un deuxième grand constructeur. C'est vital pour l'économie locale. » En ville, la chambre de commerce suit de près la situation. Sa directrice, Lizelle Maurice, femme d'affaires respectée et ardente défenseure de l'économie locale, résume l'impact en quelques mots : « Le marché américain était notre plus gros marché, environ 30% de toutes les commandes. Quand les volumes ont commencé à baisser, les fournisseurs de Mercedes-Benz ont immédiatement réduit leurs effectifs. Et cela, c'était avant même les tarifs de Trump. La pandémie avait déjà mis notre économie à genoux. L'an dernier, l'usine est passée de trois à deux équipes, puis 700 départs volontaires ont été annoncés. Les décisions de Washington n'ont fait qu'aggraver une situation déjà très tendue. » Pour comprendre la centralité de Mercedes-Benz dans la région, Ted Keenan, journaliste du Daily Dispatch, déroule une liste : Auria Africa, Valeo International, AIH, et bien d'autres. Tous ont licencié ces derniers mois. «Certaines estimations parlent de 160 000 personnes potentiellement touchées dans la région si Mercedes s'en allait », glisse-t-il, avant de nuancer : « Je ne crois pas que ce soit réaliste. Ce serait la pire chose qui puisse arriver. Mais, il y a des rumeurs persistantes venues de Chine : Mercedes-Benz serait prêt à partager son usine. Aujourd'hui, beaucoup de constructeurs partagent leurs installations. Ce n'est pas impensable. » Pour les employés, c'est jour de fête. Plusieurs centaines d'entre eux sont rassemblés sur un terrain de rugby pour la traditionnelle célébration de fin d'année. Brochettes, musique, danses. Thabile Bevu, délégué du syndicat Numsa, explique pourtant que cette année a été rude : « La production s'est arrêtée plus tôt que d'habitude, quatre semaines en avance. C'est une combinaison de facteurs. Les taxes américaines ont forcé l'usine à réduire. En juillet, on a aussi été en chômage technique pendant six semaines. Beaucoup d'employés embauchés l'an dernier ont déjà perdu leur travail. Alors, tout le monde se demande : est-ce que je serai le prochain ? Mais Mercedes a toujours réussi à faire face, en travaillant avec nous. » Le lendemain, l'un des ouvriers, Phiwe Qaba, arborant un maillot bleu clair des Orlando Pirates, confirme que la crainte est constante : « On parle toujours du même sujet. Parce que dès que les États-Unis arrêtent de commander, notre vie quotidienne change. » Si lui bénéficie d'accords garantissant un revenu minimum même en cas de chômage technique, il pense aux autres, à ceux qui gravitent autour de l'usine : « La dame qui vend des fruits à l'entrée, le gars qui fait le ménage, celle qui prépare la nourriture… eux rentrent chez eux sans un sou. C'est une catastrophe. » À quelques kilomètres du centre-ville, dans le township historique de Duncan Village, on ressent déjà les secousses de la crise. Khulile Jacobs, éducateur et figure locale, fait visiter le lycée du quartier et raconte l'effet sur les familles : « Beaucoup avaient pris des prêts logement ou auto. Avec les licenciements, tout risque de s'effondrer. Des familles qui avaient quitté le township pour des quartiers plus aisés reviennent déjà. Le mouvement a commencé juste après l'élection américaine de novembre. Les entreprises savaient ce qui allait arriver. » Pour Khulile Jacobs, les raisons des décisions de Donald Trump dépassent largement les questions agricoles ou sécuritaires : « C'est une nouvelle forme de guerre froide. L'Afrique du Sud est un hub d'investissements sur le continent. On a l'impression que Trump essaie de détourner ces investissements vers les États-Unis. » Il ajoute un facteur géopolitique majeur : « Le fait que notre pays ait amené Israël devant la Cour internationale de justice a pesé lourd. Pour Trump, c'est comme si l'Afrique du Sud s'était opposée à un allié stratégique. » Et lorsqu'on lui demande s'il soutient son gouvernement dans cette démarche, la réponse est sans ambiguïté : « À 100 %, même plus. Nous nous tiendrons toujours aux côtés du peuple palestinien. Moralement, nous ne pouvons pas faire autrement. » Malgré tout, certains veulent croire à un possible apaisement. Lizelle Maurice, la directrice de la chambre de commerce, appelle à ne pas couper le dialogue : « Trump doit comprendre que ses décisions touchent des millions de personnes. Il doit revoir sa stratégie vis-à-vis de l'Afrique du Sud. Comme je le dis toujours : garde tes amis près de toi, mais tes ennemis encore plus près. »

This XMTR Radio Hour is a little different. Lucia speaks to Garry Hunter  the director of arts and heritage organisation Fitzrovia Noir - and composer/violinist Jack Campbell about a new commission from the educational foundation that has grown out of the Tommy Flowers community pub in Poplar, East London. The pub's namesake Tommy Flowers designed and built Colossus, the world's first programmable electronic computer, to help decipher the encrypted messages sent by the German High Command during WW2. 23-year-old composer and musician Jack M.Campbell has recently written and extensively performed a piece inspired by Alan Turing's Bombe. With a bursary from TFF, he has now composed a score responding to Colossus, the computer built by Tommy Flowers to greatly expedite the reading of Lorenz traffic. The code was cracked by mathematician Bill Tutte, who, after the war, went on to teach at two universities in Canada, Jack's home country. Following the conversation about outsiders, music, algorithms and maths, is an exclusive rendition of this composition: ‘Colossus' by Jack Campbell.

This is the second part of a conversation with Alaura O'Dell / Mistress Mix, formerly known as Paula P-Orridge. In the first part, we traced Alaura's journey from meeting the musician and cultural provocateur Genesis P-Orridge, as a 15-year-old schoolgirl in East London, to becoming a central actor in the underground art band Psychic TV and the occult network Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth (TOPY).  While public accounts often focus on TOPY's founder, Genesis P-Orridge, we heard about Alaura's role in the organisation — not just as a participant, but as an organiser and practitioner, the one “who handled the workings”: the practical magick behind the grand metaphysical ideas.   In this episode, we rejoin Alaura and Genesis as they are in Kathmandu with their kids. Caress and Genesse. Back in Britain, the police have raided their home, prompted by unfounded accusations of moral deviance and child abuse in the media, during the infamous 'satanic panic'of the 1980s.  We hear how they embarked on a life in exile in California, finding unexpected refuge with the family of Winona Ryder and entering a new West Coast countercultural milieu that included encounters with Timothy Leary and Terence McKenna. before hearing about Alaura's life after Psychic TV, TOPY and Genesis. Psychic TV, was a multimedia art and music project that blurred boundaries between performance, ritual, and experimentation in sound and imagery, imbued with a sense of magick (in both the occult and transformative senses) Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth (TOPY),was  a loosely structured global network of artists, occultists, and seekers that emerged in the 1980s.  #AlauraODell #PaulaP'Orridge #GenesisP'Orridge #TempleOvPsychicYouth #Counterculture #SacredSites #PersonalReinvention #SpiritualAwakening #TraumaAndHealing #CreativeExpression #ExileAndResilience #TimothyLeary #terencemckenna #PsychicTVHistory

This episode of "A Collection Of… Spaces" is with John Booth, ceramicist, designer and illustrator.I visited John in his railway-arch studio in Haggerston, East London, a space he's shared for the past nine years with seven other artists working across ceramics and mixed media. The studio has the feel of a home workspace: books, magazines and sketches are always within reach, feeding a constant loop of ideas.John's corner is a layered mix of practical workbenches, past projects, rammed bookshelves and plaster moulds, all sharing the signature pops of colour you'll recognise from his work. His practice spans objects like egg cups and mugs through to fashion collections and large-scale murals for some of the world's biggest fashion labels, including Fendi.We spoke about John's creative journey: moving from Cumbria to London to study Fashion Print Design at Central Saint Martins, working in-house for major fashion houses after graduating, and how a passing interest in a ceramics course gradually became the core medium for creating his work today.My main takeaway from the conversation was John's openness to learning and collaborating with others. This comes through clearly in his large-scale public installations, where ideas are presented to fabricators and brands through sketches and maquettes rather than polished 3D renders, keeping the work closely aligned with his process. It was a useful reminder for me, someone who often believes everything can be learned alone, that while that may be true, working with collaborators can elevate the outcome.That balance is especially clear in his ongoing collaboration with Ian McIntyre under the name Supergroup. John's creative outlook is complemented by Ian's technical and fabrication insight, creating a strong connection between bespoke studio pieces and factory-scale production, most recently seen in their collections for Hem & The Conran Shop.Enjoy!www.instagram.com/john_boothwww.instagram.com/supergroupprojectswww.john-booth.com- - -If you would like to contribute to this series then please feel free to get in touch.

This short debrief episode examines the Bethnal Green Road fire of 20 July 2004, a commercial premises fire in East London that resulted in the deaths of two London firefighters, Billy Faust and Adam Meere. Crews attended what initially presented as a working shop fire and committed under Breathing Apparatus into a basement environment characterised by heavy textile fuel loading, restricted access, and limited ventilation.This episode focuses on exploring how fire behaviour can change when ventilation-limited conditions are involved. Particular attention is given to tactical ventilation, positive pressure ventilation, and positive pressure attack, and how airflow interacts with ventilation profiles in modern incidents. Bethnal Green Road remains a critical case study for all firefighters - a FREE downloadable training document accompanies this episode for crews to aid and facilitate training sessions - DOWNLOAD IT HEREAccess all episodes, documents, GIVEAWAYS & debriefs HEREPodcast Apparel, Hoodies, Flags, Mugs HERE our partners supporting this episode.GORE-TEX Professional ClothingFIRST TACTICAL- tactical gear for elite operatorsMSA The Safety CompanyJAFCOIDEXFIRE & EVACUATION SERVICE LTD Send a textSupport the show***The views expressed in this episode are those of the individual speakers.

In this episode, Matthew Lloyd Roberts was joined by Sam Elbahja to discuss a vanished building with a complicated history. Robin Hood Gardens was a housing estate in Poplar, designed by Alison and Peter Smithson for the LCC, completed in 1972. It was the first opportunity that the Smithsons had to enact their long-developed ideas about modern residential planning, including 'streets in the sky', a principle for community design grounded in the sociological patterns of kinship in the East End. The building was controversial from the outset, and in 2010, Tower Hamlets Borough Council decided to demolish and redevelop the estate. In 2025, the demolition of the estate was completed, and the V&A Storehouse opened in nearby Hackney Wick, featuring a fragment of the facade of the building as part of their collection.Sam Elbahja is a Moroccan-Thai poet and artist from East London, and a recent Architecture graduate from the University of Cambridge. Sam is an Eden's Scholar and recipient of the Cambridge David Flemming Prize, she is also a four-time published poet, with work featured by the V&A, Chicago's Trope, and in her debut collection Naked Pen. Sam's greatest passion lies in community engagement and exploring the intersectionality of architecture, poetry, and art - recently co-founding an interdisciplinary collective called ISO.

Kilos. Crime. Cocaine. And a life lived in constant hyper-vigilance.In this episode of Coming Clean With Me, addiction specialist Elliott Wald sits down with Jeff Charles, a man who spent over a decade immersed in criminality, large-scale drug supply, violence, and addiction — while quietly battling fear, shame, and a collapsing sense of self.Jeff opens up about growing up in East London and Essex, being diagnosed with ADHD at a young age, feeling segregated at school, and being permanently excluded by 12. Thrust into adult environments early, he gravitated towards criminal role models, building a reputation rooted in fear, money, and control — while internally living with constant anxiety and moral conflict.He describes:Moving from low-level crime to large-scale theft and drug distributionNormalising cocaine use by keeping “half an ounce back” for himselfLiving in daily fear of prison, violence, or deathThe psychological toll of hyper-vigilance and identity fragmentationLosing friends to suicide and accidents linked to the lifestyleAlongside cocaine addiction, Jeff also details severe weight gain, reaching 222kg (nearly 35 stone), alcohol misuse, depression, and suicidal ideation. One of the most harrowing moments comes when he describes filming goodbye videos for his children — moments before attempting to take his own life.Jeff speaks candidly about how faith, therapy, journaling, routine, and purpose now keep him grounded — and how founding The Actualization Project became part of his recovery, not the goal of it.This is not a glamorised crime story. It's a raw account of what addiction takes — and what it takes back.If you're struggling with cocaine addiction, contact Elliott Wald team – Whatsapp UK 07875 751960 Worldwide +44 7875 751960Elliott Wald is a British psychologist, hypnosis expert, and behavioural analyst with over 30 years of clinical experience. He specialises exclusively in the treatment of cocaine addiction via nasal use (snorting) — a form of stimulant addiction that is frequently misunderstood and poorly treated by generic recovery models.Alongside his formal clinical training, Elliott also brings direct lived experience. He maintained a daily cocaine addiction for 15 years, when he was publicly visible and appearing as an expert on national television. This combination of clinical expertise and first-hand experience allows Elliott to understand stimulant addiction from both a neuropsychological and human perspective — without ideology, moral judgement, or surface-level explanations.Elliott's work focuses on the psychological, behavioural, and neurobiological mechanisms that drive cocaine addiction, including dopamine dysregulation, compulsive habit loops, impulsivity, identity reinforcement, and relapse conditioning. His approach is highly individualised, evidence-informed, and fundamentally different from generic coaching, peer-led advice, or one-size-fits-all recovery programmes based on someone else's story.He has appeared as an addiction expert across major UK broadcasters including ITV, BBC, Sky News, and Sky Living, and is a published author in the field of addiction.Over 90% of Elliott's patients work with him online, meaning private, one-to-one treatment is accessible to clients across the United States and worldwide, without the need for travel.If you'd like to watch a video explaining how Elliott's one-to-one programme works, or to enquire about private treatment, send a WhatsApp:UK: 07875 751960 International: +44 7875 751960Find out more on Elliott's website: https://www.hypnosis-expert.com/ADDICTION/

The "human hurricane" has officially touched down in East London. For the absolute "pittance" of just £1 million, West Ham United have secured the signature of Adama Traoré, reuniting him with the man who once unlocked his most devastating form: Nuno Espírito Santo.In this episode, we break down why this deal is a "masterstroke" in an era of inflationary madness. We explore the tactical laboratory of Nuno's transition-heavy system and how it serves as the perfect environment for a player built like a heavyweight boxer (though, for the record, he's a compact 5'8" powerhouse rather than 6'4"—not that it stops defenders from bouncing off him!). From his 58% dribble success rate to the terrifying "marauding journeys" that turn defense into a Hammers attack in a heartbeat, we ask if this reunion can spark a fire at the London Stadium. Adama Traoré West Ham, Nuno Espírito Santo tactics, Premier League January transfers, West Ham transfer news, bargain football signings.

Fascism has never really gone away—but it has changed shape. From the street-level racism and open organising of the British National Party in 1990s East London to today's globalised far right, this episode traces how authoritarian politics have moved from the margins to the mainstream.Host Nick Dearden draws on personal experience of anti-fascist organising, and is joined by Seema Syeda from the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants and co-author of Creeping Fascism, and Luke Cooper, author of Authoritarian Contagion and academic at the London School of Economics. Their conversation explores how the far right has built international networks, institutions, and narratives that now feel disturbingly normal. They dig into why “fascism” remains a contested term on the left, what's genuinely new about the current moment, and what can still be done to resist it.In This Episode The rise and fall of the BNP, street fascism, and the mass anti-racist movements that defeated it Debates about whether “fascism” is the right label for today's authoritarian politics Key similarities and differences between past and present far-right movements What a Reform government might actually look like in power, and whether figures like Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson represent fundamentally different threats The “Unite the Kingdom” rally and what it reveals about the current far right Featured Organisation: No to HassockfieldNo To HassockfieldFacebook: The No to Hassockfield CampaignInstagram: @no2hassockfieldTwitter/X: @No2HassockfieldLinks to things we discussedCreeping Fascism by Neil Faulkner with Samir Dathi, Phil Hearse and Seema Syeda.Authoritarian Contagion by Luke CooperA Town Within: Visiting Baqa'a Refugee Camp by Madihah KarimWhat happened when I met my Islamophobic troll by Hussein KesvaniThe law of the jungle by Nick DeardenPraxis: The essential guide for changing minds on migrationUNRWA: United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine refugeesTime For Change: The evidence-based policies that can actually fix the immigration systemMake a donation to COUNTER•POWERABOUT THE PODCASTCOUNTER•POWER is brought to you by Stop Trump Coalition, Another Europe Is Possible and Global Justice Now, three organisations at the centre of the new global resistance. This podcast isn't just about chatting and conversation — it's about turning ideas into action and building real community power. That's why we have a simple pledge to you, our audience.

Gyles has been an admirer of this guest since the 1960s: it's the great actor, Sir Derek Jacobi. Ever since he was recruited into Sir Laurence Olivier's bold new National Theatre at the Old Vic, Jacobi has been at the forefront of British acting talent. Gyles has seen him on stage many times - in Olivier's famous production of Othello, in Much Ado About Nothing, in Cyrano de Bergerac. You may also know Derek from his brilliant TV work - in I, Claudius and Last Tango in Halifax... he's also the voice of In The Night Garden. In this warm and rambling conversation, Derek tells Gyles about his young life in Leytonstone in East London, where his father owned a confectioners shop. He tells him about his childhood love of dressing up and his early exposure to theatre, when he was picked to go up on stage at the Palladium. He tells Gyles about his experience of stage fright and about his happy marriage. This is a wonderful episode with a great, and charming, man. Enjoy this. Hosted on Acast.

Stephen joined The Labour Party in 1997, becoming an activist and office-holder at various local levels.

Retrofitting is an instrumental step in reducing the carbon footprint of a city's building stock. It also extends the life of a building and has a lower environmental impact than demolishing inefficient properties and building anew. Even a new development, such as the East Village in Stratford London, although just 12 years old, is still largely heated by fossil fuel. Adaptable designs are critical to bring future improvements to existing structures. Marion Baeli is a pioneer of sustainable architecture, her practice identified easy-to-deliver improvements to energy use on one of the buildings in the development, at the same time as adding capacity that could finance the project. Guest Marion Baeli, Principal, Sustainability Transformation at 10 Design Partner Egis is a leading global architectural, consulting, construction engineering, operations and mobility services firm.

In the basement room of an East London flat one rainy January morning, Jack sat down with the Irish writer Rob Doyle to discuss the publication of his third novel, Cameo, and delve into his long and complex love for the work of Martin Amis.Rob chose to talk about London Fields, the novel we first encounter on this series through the Financial Times columnist, Janan Ganesh. But whereas Ganesh grew up in Croydon in the late Eighties, with the London Amis depicts in the novel practically on his doorstep, Doyle had never been to England's capital when the cover of London Fields first caught his eye, aged 23, from the shelves of a book exchange at a backpacker's hostel in South East Asia.On a long bus journey in this far-flung part of the world, Doyle recounts coming to terms with the alchemic mastery of Amis's prose in this 1989 masterpiece. London Fields, he says, blended seamlessly the very highest ideas with the very lowest, all to great comic effect. Writing about London, Amis was engaged in an act of philosophy, dredged up from the deepest pits of urban and human decay.Rob and Jack go on to discuss that force of nature that is of course Keith Talent. Talent is for Doyle, as he is for Ganesh, not just one of Amis's greatest characters, but one of the greatest characters ever to cast a shadow on the history of English literature. Of all Amis's beleaguered and benighted male creations, Talent is also arguably the happiest, since apart from anything else, he would be the least bothered by Amis's contempt for him. Later on, Rob and Jack talk about the world Amis so often condemns his male characters to live in. Whether we look to John Self (a man consumed by his own oniomania), the bleak rivalry that sets Keith Talent and Guy Clinch on their fateful course with Nicola Six, or indeed that which Richard Tull and Gwyn Barry must see through a novel later in The Information, Amis's men are rarely sanguine creatures.Male conflict and humiliation were two of Amis's greatest subjects, but while Doyle still regards Amis as one of the best writers ever to interrogate them in their art, he is less convinced by Amis's opposition outlook on male relationships now, in his forties, than he was as a younger man.Happy New Year to you, dear listener. 2026 has begun.FOLLOW US ON TWITTER/ X: @mymartinamisFIND US ON YOUTUBE Hosted on Acast.

Instead, it's a measured, deeply human moment from an artist who understands that vulnerability can hit harder than volume. As a standout single from his recent album release Excuse My Mess, the track lands as one of the project's emotional anchors, now further amplified by the arrival of its official music video.
