string(5000) "This afternoon, in a cavernous former aircraft factory within the headquarters in Milan, unveiled his for the Italian house in the most hotly-anticipated debut of the season. Yet almost as striking as the sleek, minimal looks being paraded down the runway was the soundtrack that accompanied them: a cinematic string opening featuring the voice of Lykke Li gently fading into that of the XX’s Romy, before a grand finale that included a toe-tapping remix of the Italian pop classic Mina’s “Ancora ancora ancora.” All of that came from a collaborator De Sarno knew he could trust: . Except it turns out—somewhat surprisingly, given his regular presence on the Fashion Month circuit—that it’s the first time Ronson has soundtracked a fashion show. “I like new experiences,” said Ronson the day before the show. “I like humbling experiences, where you might need to go back to the drawing board a few times. I don’t have an ego about that. So I’ve really enjoyed it.” It all began around a month ago, when Ronson—who has a long-standing relationship with Gucci that stretches back over a decade, having DJed a number of their events over the years—was connected with De Sarno to discuss his plans for the brand. “We had a little bit of a chat about his vision for the show, and this ‘ancora’ concept,” said Ronson, referring to the campaign that has seen the multi-layered Italian word for “again” or “still” emblazoned across buildings around the world in the lead-up to the show. “It was really about coming back to something, or falling in love again.” Naturally, one of the first songs that sprang to mind for De Sarno was Mina’s 1978 hit, which he then sent to Ronson—who quickly became obsessed. “It has tinges of things that I’ve done before, but it’s also a very epic, Italian sweeping ballad,” said Ronson. “So I preserved a lot of things that are really beautiful about the original, like the vocals and the strings, but then gave it a new beat and added my thing to it. Sabato was telling me about all this other amazing Italian pop music from the ’70s and ’80s that was important to him, so I went down the rabbit hole on that.” Given the decade-hopping spirit of De Sarno’s collection, however, Ronson also wanted to sprinkle in a few more contemporary touches. After De Sarno told Ronson that his 2019 album of “sad bangers” was a particular favorite, the musician decided to incorporate a ghostly remix of the Lykke Li-featuring title track at the beginning, and when they were discussing contemporary artists whose sensibility might dovetail neatly with De Sarno’s vision, they quickly landed on Romy, a mutual friend of the pair who recently released her debut solo album . (The soundtrack deftly moved between Li’s melody from “Late Night Feelings” and the soulful, yearning vocals of Romy’s “Loveher.”) For Ronson, the experience felt most akin to scoring a film—a realm he ventured into for the first time recently, with his chart-topping soundtrack for Greta Gerwig’s “Us musicians or producers are used to serving one master, which is to get the best song possible,” he said. “But what I realized by doing this is that you can have a great piece of music that Sabato would be happy to play in his car on a Sunday night, but it doesn’t necessarily align with how he's viewing his collection, or what he wants people to feel. Although at some point, if you’re lucky, you end up in the same fever dream, and then everything that you do instinctually seems to be what the other person needs.” Naturally, the close collaboration involved in bringing the soundtrack to life—first with a series of back and forths between Ronson’s New York studio and Gucci’s Rome headquarters, and then over the past few days as they applied the finishing touches together in person—has also led Ronson and De Sarno to strike up a friendship. “I mean, we still have two more days to fall out,” Ronson said with a laugh. “He has such an incredible energy. And despite what anybody else might find to be this crazy pressure, it being his first time as creative director of a house, he just puts everybody at ease. It’s not like he isn’t looking over every single detail, but it’s not this kind of running around, barking orders, putting people under stress. He has a great energy, and it’s inspiring.” Unsurprisingly, as Ronson’s parting shot before he leaves Milan, he’ll also be DJing the afterparty—meaning it might take a moment or two longer until he and De Sarno can toast to the show’s success. “Everyone can celebrate while I’m DJing though,” he said. “Plus, I’ve DJed many Gucci parties over the years, and it’s never me stuck in the corner not having fun.” And after spending the past few days together getting to know De Sarno and his team, will that help guide his DJ setlist at all? “Oh yes,” Ronson joked. “I’m just going to play �"

xxlmag July 21, 2021
Nicki Minaj 66
In XXL's Summer 2021 issue, we talked to Latin trap-pop artist Karol G about working with Nicki Minaj on Tusa, being featured on Pop Smoke's debut album and more.
Colombian music star Karol G has found inspiration in hip-hop. Interview: Bianca Torres Editors Note: This story originally appeared in the Summer 2021 issue of XXL Magazine, on stands now. Latin trap-pop singer Karol G loves all types of music, but hip-hop has a special place in her heart. Born and raised in Medellin, Colombia, the 30-year-old star was an avid hip-hop head growing up. As her music career exploded, she was eager to collaborate with some rappers. In 2017, Karol dropped her two-times platinum debut album, Unstoppable. That same year, she did a remix to her breakout hit Ahora Me Llama, which featured Migos Quavo The record was a success, going 10-times platinum. Two years later, Karol released her huge hit Tusa featuring Nicki Minaj which has gone 35-times platinum in the U.S. alone. Most recently, Karol collaborated with Ludacrison the track Beautiful Boy, off her third album KGO516. Here, Karol G talks about meeting Nicki Minaj, feeling like a member of G-Unit and more. XXL: When did you start listening to hip-hop? Karol G: I love hip-hop. Like, I was a really huge fan of Eminem, but like, really bad. The Marshall Mathers , thats my baby. I used to get videos from my family in the United States. In school, I used to be in love with G-Unit and have the posters and everything, the sneakers. When I was in school, my name is Carolina, they used to call me Carolina G because of G-Unit. So, when I started looking for my artist name, it was Karol G because of that. You may have to have 50 Centon your next album. I had something on the Pop Smoke albumcalled Enjoy Yourself. I talked to in a few messages. He was so nice. Telling me that Pop Smoke before he died, he spoke with Tyga about me being on that song and that was crazy for me, too. Your video with Nicki for Tusa has over 1 billion views. What made you choose her for that song? , my label told me that with Tusa, we have the No. 3 most-awarded song in the world. I never wouldve thought that I could do a song with Nicki Minaj and that song was No. 1 in the world. We started sharing messages on Instagram. She started following me, then we shared some songs. We couldnt find one that I liked and that she liked. But then, I had Tusa and I sent it to her and she loved it. Her answer was, Thats the shit I was looking for. After five hours, she sends me her verse. She recorded so fast. And after one month, we shot the video. Everything came like, super organic. You recently worked with Ludacris. Hes on your album KG0516 as a feature on the song Beautiful Boy. I was just looking at some videos on TikTok at night and then I watched a video of a girl. She was doing a cover of Beautiful Girls . So, I took that video and sent it to my producer. And we created a really good song. And I was there, I was like, Hey, if we put Ludacris , like how they did on Baby, the Justin Bieber song? I called my label and was like, Hey, please, I need Ludacris on this song. They put me on a video call with Ludacris. He told me, You know what, Karol? My kids are crazy with Ocean your song. And, I was like, dying because Ludacris told me his kids like my music. Who are your favorite rappers at the moment? I can say Pop Smoke, that album is crazy. J. Cole with that last album. Drakeis amazing, too. I love him so much. I love Travis Scott Its not just about the music, its the creativity he has. He creates different brands. One thing that I admire about him a lot is the way he creates an experience for everything. Is there a rapper youd want to work with in the future? I forgot to mention Kendrick Lamar fascinates me. Id like to work with Kendrick Lamar.
