Majandra Delfino was best known for her role as Maria Deluca in Roswell, whilst the series was on air, she released The Sicks, a six-track EP (featuring Ski-ming, Bruises, Oil & Water, Siren, Tattoo and Hell & Bliss) on her own record label, Dripfeed – on, wait for it, Halloween of 2001. Every single track was perfection and ahead of its time. It is SUCH an underrated record. She followed it up with Tarte in 2007, but The Sicks has this unparalleled raw darkness to it, lyrically and creatively that cannot be touched. If you’re in America, you can still download both on iTunes, if you’re anywhere else, your best bet is trolling YouTube (I’ve made it easier by creating a six-track playlist below), unless Majandra reads this (in which case she should absolutely put both records out on SoundCloud or for free download because they deserve to be heard). Even the artwork was on point.

Our new evolution liberates the Siren from the outer ring, making her the true, welcoming face of Starbucks. For people all over the globe, she is a signal of the world’s finest coffee – and much more. She stands unbound, sharing our stories, inviting all of us in to explore, to find something new and to connect with each other. And as always, she is urging all of us forward to the next thing. After all, who can resist her?

In simple terms, she just looks a bit more like Lady Gaga did in the Vanity Fair shoot by Nick Knight. Or is that just me?
