Crack Magazine is a UK music platform that started in 2009 as a DIY newspaper for music obsessives. Sixteen years later, Crack remains a vital voice, spotlighting music's most essential artists. 

From South London to Los Angeles, the October Issue is fronted by Sasha Keable – the indomitable R&B star who, after stepping away from the spotlight, returns to reclaim her crown and take her place among the lineage of fearless British R&B royalty.

Also featured in this issue: dance music outlier Blawan, Colombian experimental musician Lucrecia Dalt and London collective Brighter Days Family, Plus, a conversation with the choreographer of Mitski: The Land and Crack’s pick of the latest releases.
