FACEBOOKINSTAGRAMSOUNDCLOUD Singer/songwriter Genevieve Stokes meticulously crafts alt-pop gems that belie her 18 years. The Portland, Maine based artist crosses a multitude of sonic territories positioned with poignancy, honesty, and unfaltering energy. Stokes’ musical brush paints with a vivid color illustrating a loss of youthful innocence. The narratives are rooted in dealing with the aftermaths of adolescent heartache and the often-distressing moments of coming-of-age decisions. Today Genevieve Stokes shares her single “Running Away,” a visceral recollection of the intense feelings associated with newfound love performed over ruminating piano keys and longing melodies. The track presents a distant and dreamy soundscape yet still offers a sense of yearning at its underlying core. In the song, Stokes confronts self-understanding and emotional awareness.Genevieve Stokes says this of her new single: “‘Running Away’ was written during an emotionally turbulent time in my life. Finding someone I had a strong connection with brought up emotions I had never felt so intensely. It’s exciting and new, but also overwhelming. I wasn’t sure if my feelings were fully reciprocated and I was too afraid to ask. The song is a representation of how I overthought and tormented myself over my feelings.” Prior to “Running Away,” Genevieve Stokes released “Surface Tension” in February 2020. Led by the tranquility of the piano and beatific vocals, Stokes’ sheds light on young relationships through attentive songwriting arriving on the themes of anxiety-filled loneliness and late-night self-reflection. Performing as early as the age of 7, Stokes was inspired by Regina Spektor’s lyricism and creativity. She was drawn to the concepts she sang about, and the sincerity of her music. Her most recent inspirations are Frank Ocean, Bon Iver, and Big Thief's Adrianne Lenker. Stokes’ music is created through the lens of these influences by incorporating both electronic and acoustic elements. Genevieve Stokes’ upcoming debut EP, out this summer, is a bold collection of songs conceived initially as part of a senior year project and marks the kick-off of a fresh and triumphant new force in music. ----more----

Sarah Kugelman compares having her products dropped from Sephora stores to “being on a date with someone you really like and them not wanting to go out with you again.” Sales at Sephora’s 200 stores represented 80% of Skyn Iceland’s business, until the beauty retailer cut the cord in 2010, a consequence Kugelman chalks up to the recession. “There were a lot of big brands that initially didn’t want to be at Sephora that now needed the distribution, and so we couldn’t compete with them on a dollars per square foot basis,” Kugelman said on this week’s episode of the Glossy Beauty Podcast. ” Today, Skyn Iceland has moved on. The company brought in $20 million in 2019, a 50% increase over its 2018 sales. Partnering with Ulta Beauty was a big part of the company’s rebirth. “I heard ‘No’ so many times from Ulta, but I just kept trying and trying, and one day they said, ‘Yes, come in for a meeting.'” This was back when Ulta wasn’t exactly seen as a prestige player, but Kugelman thought she was on to the next big bet. “I looked around and said ‘What’s going to be the next frontier?’ ‘What’s going to be the next distribution channel that’s going to create that inflection point for brands?’ And I thought that was Ulta,” Kugelman said.”Luckily, I was right.” On this week of the Glossy Beauty Podcast, Kugelman talked about the difficult years between Skyn Iceland’s partnership with Sephora versus Ulta, the value of taking one’s business to an international level and why not everyone can become the next Drunk Elephant.
Sarah Kugelman is a digital pioneer in the beauty industry. She revolutionized the beauty industry in 1999 by creating gloss.com, a multimedia beauty brand for which she raised $25 million in VC funding and grew to over 100 employees, and has also held senior marketing positions at L’Orèal and Bloomingdale’s. She founded skyn ICELAND in 2006, growing her own beauty concept into a thriving indie beauty brand.Given that Sarah has seen it all, we wanted her to reflect on the future of the beauty industry, something near and dear to Jeremy’s heart.

"It's not going to work, you’ll fail, I don't get it." These are words that entrepreneurs seeking investment or strategic partnerships have heard time and again, and the words heard many times by Sarah Kugelman, founder and CEO of Skyn Iceland (a $20M lifestyle brand in skincare capturing the attention of A-list celebrities). Sarah, who successfully raised $25 million dollars to build a pioneering company in online beauty retail and sold it to one of the biggest players in the industry, was convinced her mindset would carry her past those objections when building her next business. When you know you’re right and don’t listen to people who are naysayers or who haven’t absorbed your pitch, just keep believing in yourself until you eventually succeed. Sarah joins Julia Pimsleur to share what stress does to your skin; how she overcame a disastrous moment in her company when 80% of her business disappeared overnight and she couldn’t even get access to her inventory; and, about the mindset practice that has set Sarah on the path toward running a billion dollar company.
