Indy spills on writing her song 'Idol' about her sister Lorde
Video transcript
Well, the process was that I really felt it was time to talk about something so personal to me.
Like, my sister's my best mate, you know, I, I really did grow up in such a public way.
And I think that, um, you know, you, you turn 25, you turn 26, you come out of a very formative relationship and then you kind of figure out your identity.
And I think that, um, it just, when they say it came to me, it really did in a way.
Like, I remember writing it.
It took a little while to write and I was sitting on the floor, um, with a piano, like keyboard with, uh, my mate who's a producer, and we just kind of scratched away at it till I got it.
Um, but sometimes it's like the, we always say in the studio that it's like the creativity isn't really up to you.
You have to do what the song wants.
So, I don't know, I just honestly, I truthfully, I wrote that song for me.
I didn't really write it for anyone else.
I wrote it for myself and like to put everything I wanted to say about that topic in a song and then move forward.
I saw your post about Virgin, which I, honestly, but your sister saying that you are one of the best listeners.
What was her reaction when she heard that song in particular?
Well, um, she showed me Shapeshifter, and then I showed her Idol, and I was like, girl, I can't go after this.
This is like insane too.
But, um, she really liked it, you know, like we're, we're 2 years apart, we're really similar, we're really close.
Um, I knew that our relationship was really steadfast when, like, I got a little bit older and she started calling me to ask about my opinion, you know, that's a really big deal to me.
Um, you know, she really liked it.
I didn't, I've only played it to her once.
I won't send it to her, I'm just like.
I want it to be perfect.
Um, but yeah, she, she gave me a hug afterwards and she loved it.
But, um, I don't know.
I mean, ultimately, it's, I'm realizing that partly it's also my story to tell too.
And so I feel that she just wants me to be my creative self.

Lingerie Fighting Championships Up-lists to OTCID Following Successful UK Events
LAS VEGAS, Aug. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lingerie Fighting Championships, Inc. ('LFC') (OTC Pink:BOTY) announced today that they have up-listed to the newly created OTCID market. In order to do so they had to meet all criteria including be fully SEC reporting, be in good standing with state and federal regulators, retain a recognized transfer agent and file a Company Verified Profile and Management Certification with the OTC. 'It was a lengthy process,' CEO Shaun Donnelly admits, 'but ultimately I thought it was worth the time to show our shareholders we're committed to transparency.' Last month, LFC did their first ever events in the UK and fans are still buzzing about them. LFC43: Sindependence Day 2 went down in London on the 4th of July at the historic Stanley Arts building. The sweat had barely dried on the canvas when the league was back in action just two nights later at the Vale Arena in Cardiff, Wales for LFC44: Underground Knockouts. 'Getting to do events in London and Cardiff was absolutely amazing,' Donnelly says. 'For many of our fighters it was a lifelong dream come true.' LFC43 in London was carried on live PPV in both the UK and the US and has already earned more money than any previous LFC event. 'I think the Team USA vs Team UK format really appealed to people,' Donnelly says. 'Even new fans who might not know any of our fighters had an instant cheering interest based on their nationality.' If you missed the live feed, you can still see the LFC43 replay on ToroTV and on LFC's site at (where LFC44 will debut on August 15). When asked if the league would ever consider returning to the UK, Donnelly gave a very enthusiastic affirmation, adding there are other countries he'd like to hold events as well.

Why Marylebone Is London's Most Underrated Neighborhood To Visit
Marylebone district, London, England, UK getty Although it is in central London, near all the main attractions, Marylebone Village is a far cry from the other hectic shopping areas nearby. And with a neighborhood feel, the area is more than just your typical shopping area, with loads of independent shops, bars, cafes and restaurants. Located just minutes from the hustle and bustle of Oxford Street, the area offers an array of shopping, eating and cultural experiences in a picturesque setting, surrounded by period architecture and attractive green spaces. One of London's best art museums is in the area and well worth a visit. The Wallace Collection, on Manchester Square, bequeathed to the British nation in 1897, houses masterpieces from the 14th to the 19th centuries by artists including Titian, Velázquez, Rubens and Fragonard. A guest room at The Zetter Marylebone, London Darren Chung The Zetter Marylebone is a delightful 4-star boutique hotel, in a row of attractive Georgian townhouses, tucked away on a discreet side street, just minutes away from Oxford Street. When stepping inside the book and antique filled parlor, you'll immediately feel you're in a sumptuous home rather than a hotel. The decor is cozy and inviting and while the service is attentive, there's no formal check-in desk, contributing to a laid-back vibe. The property has a whimsical feel with 24 individually designed rooms decorated with antique furniture, floral curtains and fun curios inspired by London's quirky Sir John Soane's museum. If you want to stay somewhere with a typical British Victorian ambiance but with all the modern conveniences like Wi-Fi and decent showers, the Zetter Marylebone is ideal. The guest rooms also feature flatscreen televisions, Marshall or Sonos speakers, tea-and coffee making facilities, a minibar and free bottled water. The Parlor Lounge at the Zetter, Marylebone Andreas von Einsiedel The hotel's activities center around the Parlor, the hotel's lounge, a comfortable space where guests can enjoy breakfast, afternoon tea, drinks and small plates. The cocktail menu has the classics along with some experimental options like Absinthe Colada and the very tasty Green Sorrel Sour. The Parlor at Zetter Marylebone is also the perfect setting for afternoon tea with finger sandwiches, cakes, vanilla and lavender scones and a great selection of loose-leaf teas. A full vegan afternoon tea menu is also available. Rates at The Zetter Marylebone start from £400 per night. Studio suite at Holmes Hotel, Marylebone, London Ben Carpenter Photography Holmes Hotel, a 4-star on Baker Street, is made up of four Georgian townhouses with 118 hotel rooms that range from cozy doubles to luxurious, 50 square meter duplex loft suites. The rooms and suites are individually styled, blending original Georgian features with rich textures and bespoke furniture. Other welcoming aspects are the plush Egyptian cotton bedding smart TVs with Chromecast and a gym. The Loft Suites are like spacious London apartments, while the heritage deluxe rooms offer attractive period details. Sherlock Holmes plaque outside of museum at Baker Street 221b getty The hotel is inspired by Baker Street's most famous resident – Sherlock Holmes and there are quick mysteries to solve on each floor as well as vintage curiosities, hidden nooks and velvet reading chairs. And for a more extensive dive into the life of the Victorian detective, The Sherlock Holmes Museum at 221b Baker street (the address of Conan Doyle's fictional sleuth) is a five minute stroll from the hotel. The bar and restaurant at Holmes Hotel Ben Carpenter Photography For all-day dining, Kitchen at Holmes, an expansive all day bar and restaurant is open to both hotel guests and non residents. Mediterranean-inspired dishes are offered by Head Chef Stefano Motta (the lobster spaghetti is excellent). The restaurant spills out onto a buzzy outdoor terrace on Baker street. A double room at Holmes Hotel starts from £250. Where to Eat and Drink Cafe Murano, Marylebone, London John Carey Chef Angela Hartnett's eagerly anticipated Cafe Murano Marylebone opened last week on 26 July and judging from the busy, buzzy atmosphere, it's destined to be one of the most popular restaurants in the area. Like her Cafe Murano in Bermondsey and Covent Garden, the Marylebone location is a more casual restaurant than her Michelin-starred Murano, in Mayfair, originally co-owned with Gordon Ramsay. And, unique to this location, the restaurant has a breakfast menu too, with dishes like grilled sweet peaches with yoghurt and smoked trout crostini. Drawing inspiration from the chef's southern Italian heritage, the dinner menu features traditional cicchetti , primi , secondi and dolce , with hand-rolled pasta, generous plates to share and regularly changing specials. New and exclusive to Marylebone is half chicken Salmoriglio, roasted to perfection in a zesty sauce of lemon, garlic and fresh herbs. The second new dish is the extremely moreish r igatoni al ragù bianco, a white bolognese-style pasta from Tuscany. Other standout dishes are lamb and pea arancini and braised octopus with potatoes and aioli. Opso from Chef Nikos Roussos offers a new approach to modern Greek food. Yes, you'll find a Souvlaki kebab with Greek yoghurt and classic Greek salad but also on the current menu is lightly cured sea bass in smoked aubergine broth and lamb shank with fresh black truffles. And across the road is Chef Roussos's Kima an equally delightful seafood restaurant that embraces a 'fin to gill' philosophy meaning 'use-all, waste-not' with dishes using the entire fish from head to tail. Caldesi, founded in 2002 by Chef and Restaurateur Giancarlo Caldesi and his wife Katie, is rightly loved for its authentic Italian regional cuisine. Try the spaghetti vongole or the seabass ravioli, both house favorites. Fischer's offers a classic Viennese menu of schnitzel, sausages and strudel, from early morning breakfast and afternoon coffee and cake, to a late-night dinner. Once you've eaten a sausage roll at Ginger Pig on Moxon Street, all others will pale in comparison. With an extensive deli, this is a great place for a hot takeaway roast lunch. Each night the shop hosts butchery classes, where you can learn the tricks of the trade. La Fromagerie, next door to Ginger Pig, has been one of London's most popular cheese and wine bars since opening in 2002. The shop features a walk-in Cheese room where you'll see cheese maturing and dedicated eating areas to enjoy cheese, wine and product. Where to Shop Daunt Books storefront getty Marylebone High street is the main shopping street but don't miss Chiltern Street for its eclectic range of menswear shops. Founded in 1990, Daunt Books remains one of the few independent booksellers in the UK. Housed in a graceful Edwardian building with long oak galleries and graceful skylights, Daunt Books on Marylebone High Street is one of London's most beautiful bookshops. Independent boutique KJ's Laundry, on Marylebone Lane, sells interesting and highly wearable brands from all over the world. From covetable womenswear, handbags, jewellery and shoes to lingerie and beauty products, you'll find an ever-changing repertoire of new finds made by saavy owners Jane Ellis and Kate Allis. Established in 1997 in Wales, Toast began with nightwear and loungewear and today's collections include simple, modern and functional pieces intended to last. The Marylebone boutique has a great range of clothing, homeware and accessories, produced in collaboration with artisans, weavers and mills from across the globe. The London outpost of Belgian ' haute chocolatier ' Pierre Marcolini can be described as a ' maison ' that, like a high fashion house, releases seasonal 'collections.' This is no ordinary chocolate producer. Pioneer of the 'bean to bar' movement, Pierre Marcolini has created his own chocolate from cocoa beans in house since 2001 and you can taste the difference. Agnès b, founded by French fashion designer Agnès Troublé, combines art and fashion in this light and open space on Marylebone High Street. Since 1989, Cologne & Cotton has sold gorgeous bed linen, bath products and soaps, table linen and eau de cologne.
