The Face (magazine)
''The Face'' is a British music, fashion, and culture monthly magazine originally published from 1980 to 2004, and relaunched in 2019. It was first launched in May 1980 in London by Nick Logan, the British journalist who had previously been editor of ''New Musical Express'' and ''Smash Hits''. Having narrowly survived a near closure in the early 1990s following the award of libel damages against the magazine, it finally ceased publication in 2004 as a result of dwindling circulation. Frequently referred to as having "changed culture" and credited with launching Kate Moss's career as a supermodel, the magazine was the subject of a number of museum exhibitions after its demise. In April 2019 ''The Face'' was relaunched online at theface.com by current owner Wasted Talent, which also publishes the magazines ''Kerrang!'' and ''Mixmag'' and acquired rights to the title in 2017 from Bauer Media Group. The first physical issue of the new era was published on 13 September 2019. Pr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Jamie Morgan (musician)
Jamie Morgan is a British photographer, filmmaker, and former musician. Music career Morgan formed half of the duo Morgan-McVey''Hitlåtens historia'', "Neneh Cherry - Buffalo Stance", Sveriges Television, 3 January 2012. who released just one single, 1986's Stock Aitken Waterman-produced "Looking Good Diving" b/w "Looking Good Diving with the Wild Bunch". Originally conceived as a Simon & Garfunkel-style male vocal duo who would harmonise over reggae beats, early demos failed to deliver on the concept. Facing creative inertia, the act's record company convinced them to work with rising pop producers Stock Aitken Waterman, a proposition that left them with mixed feelings. Morgan says "Looking Good Diving" co-vocalist Cameron McVey was so "embarrassed" by the resulting record and video, the band disintegrated. However, the single's B-side, which Morgan co-wrote, would soon evolve into Neneh Cherry's "Buffalo Stance", which reached number three in the UK Singles Chart and the top ...
