Sliimy heads for world domination
Posted Sep 1, 2009
After a run of fabulous female pop stars, Swide has been foraging around for the upcoming men of the pop world. So far we're updating our playlists with Julian Peretta and FrankMusik - closely followed by today's find, the French former teenage choirboy, Sliimy.
Aged only 20, Sliimy has provided the feelgood soundtrack to the French summer for his music that according to the U.K's Guardian newspaper, sounds, "somewhere between a kindergarten Lily Allen and the hyperactive nephew of Prince..."
Sahraoui's album Paint Your Face was originally recorded in a tiny French home studio, mixed in New York and put out by Warner; the album stormed the iTunes charts and French charts this year, however now on Hilton's new US Warner label, Perezcious Music, Sliimy is set on world domination.
Sliimy's first American single will be "Wake Up" ´(featured above) from his debut album, "Paint Your Face", released September 15th on Perezcious Music/Warner Bros Records.

The scenario is…you are only in London for 24hrs. This doesn’t have to mean being stuck in your hotel wanting but not knowing what to do. Enlightened travellers continually ask the question - What would a Londoner do? Have no fear Luxury London is here…
There’s no need to go far afield to exotic locations to find adventure. In recent years adventures have been rediscovering urban winders right on our very doorsteps. Urban Exploration, known also as Urbex or UE, is an (often illegal) activity that explores unseen or unknown sights in the urban environment.
It appears that Ivan Olita’s scouting has led him straight to New York City’s very own scout, a movie location scout to be exact. Nick Carr’s job means that he gets to explore every nook and cranny that NYC has to offer, allowing him to discover the hidden details that many wouldn’t see. Ivan Investigates…
Whilst collaborating with Swide for The Matt Silk Collection SS12 video, Luca Finotti gave us the chance to get him in front of the camera for an exclusive interview. Whether it’s talking about his love affair with the camera, his views on what ‘ugly is’ or how he keeps himself sane, the up and coming fashion director was as natural in front of the camera as he is behind it.
The Cannes Film Festival is the epitome of European high glamour on the French Riviera. Sun, surf and…suits. Swide catches three stars who put their best foot forward in Dolce&Gabbana. Gerard Butler, Mathew McConaughey and Zac Efron got suited up to face the onslaught of press photographers that infest every event at Cannes.
