Lyrical Muse

Kiss Day

Northern UK outfit WINACHI have returned with ‘State of Mind’, a groove-heavy new single lifted from their upcoming EP ‘Coming Up for Air.’ Over the past year as we’ve steadily built Lyrical Muse and its presence, we’ve been dreaming of creating an collaborative space designed to uplift and celebrate a sense of community. After the success of our first digital zine, Lyrical Muse is proud and excited to announce that we accepting guest pitches for our Pride issue “OutLoud”. For our final ‘First Light Feature’ we dive into a breakdown of viral “first in my bloodline,” trend by therapist @shellytherapy May 21 is International Tea Day and we asked people what comes to mind when they hear “2 cup chai.” Check out the poems born from wandering thoughts and sparks of creativity. May is Mental Health Awareness Month and in honour of it we proudly present our second anthology ‘Carrying On, Carrying All.’ A collection of essays tracing vulnerabilities and healing, the project is as intimate as it does universal. May 18 marks International Museum Day, highlighting the importance of museums in culture exchange and enrichment. Swipe through to catch the best of our Cannes 2026 coverage so far!
