THE NEW. RETRO. MODERN.

Conversations with Culture Icons: an anthology of unconventional interviews from a mixed-up, muddled-up music scene

Antonino Tati, editor of Cream Magazine Australia, brings together three decades of music journalism in this compelling anthology of interviews with some of pop culture’s most iconic names.

These conversations go beyond the surface, tackling bold topics like sexuality and queer visibility, excess and artistry, and the tension between creative freedom and commercial success.

The book also hints at a looming industry shift, urging artists to reflect on their legacies before it’s too late. Inside, readers will find candid, unfiltered discussions with legends and trailblazers, including Nick Cave, Kylie Minogue, RuPaul, Tori Amos, Mark Ronson, Charli XCX, Darren Hayes, Boy George, Patti Smith, Dave Grohl, Dave Gahan, Björk and many more.
