EVERYTHING ON OUR RADAR THIS MONTH
By Steven Potter, 5 August 2024
August is going to be a great month for new stuff – not just in the world of looks, either. Below you’ll find all the things we’re looking forward to the most – from A$AP Rocky’s newest album, the UK version of the jaw-dropping Love Is Blind, and a new flick from twist-extraordinaire, M. Night Shyamalan, starring Josh Hartnett. Buckle up, it’s going to be great.

7 AUGUST – LOVE IS BLIND: UK
Yep, the radical dating show where contestants spend time getting to know each other without actually seeing each other is hitting UK shores. Whether you’re into it for the think-pieces about breaking traditional dating methods and the over-reliance society has on appearance, or you just love the cringe-worthy reactions to the final reveals, we’re already saying yes because this is reality-TV gold.

9 AUGUST – TRAP
When it comes to suspenseful twists, no one does it quite like M. Night Shyamalan. Trap is the director’s latest offering following classics such as The Sixth Sense, Signs, Glass and other mind-bending flicks. Trap follows a father (Josh Hartnett) and daughter (Ariel Donoghue) as they attend their first concert together. Although, with this being Shyamalan, it doesn’t take long before an elevated security presence and the threat of a killer trapped inside the venue sends the crowd into a paranoia-fuelled frenzy…

16 AUGUST – THE PREMIER LEAGUE RETURNS
If there’s a football-shaped hole in your life after a summer of Euros action, there won’t be for much longer, because the Premier League is back, baby! Welcome to another 33 weeks of the UK’s best football. Newly promoted Leicester City, Southampton and Ipswich Town join the top flight of football again in what will no doubt be another thrilling season. Will Man City win yet another title? Probably, but it’s about the journey to get there. Plus, we get to make terrace style a thing again for the next seven-and-a-half months. Ideal.

23 AUGUST – SABRINA CARPENTER'S NEW ALBUM: SHORT N' SWEET
Talk about owning the dialogue. After featuring tweets in her album’s marketing campaign that mention her 4’11” height, Sabrina Carpenter is now dropping Short n’ Sweet (genius), and we can’t wait. If Espresso has been soundtracking your sun-drenched plans as much as ours, we’re certain the rest of the album will deliver the same punchy, synth-led pop to see out the last of the summer months.

30 AUGUST – A$AP ROCKY'S ALBUM, DON'T BE DUMB, DROPS
It’s been six years since A$AP’s last studio album, so expectations are huge for his latest offering and with guests including Tyler, The Creator and Pharrell alongside more unexpected collabs in the form of Damon Albarn and even Morrissey, all the ingredients are present for what could be one of the albums of the year. Has the coolest dad in the game still got it? Undoubtably.
