Love Island

Love Island is back and with it, a host of pop anthems and piano house aimed squarely at the charts. But what makes a song sound heterosexual and – crucially – slap?

Head to head: As seen on the Kardashians and, like, every influencer ever, high-rise bikinis have been hotting up beaches summer after summer. How high are you willing to go?

The vibes are off and the producers’ tactics are questionable, but we still can’t look away. As the 2021 series comes to a close, Paula Akpan asks whether it’s possible to ethically enjoy Love Island.

When faced with gaslighting and manipulation, ending a relationship is tough in the best of circumstances, let alone in the Love Island villa.
