Samantha Urbani, the creator of and vocal enchanter behind Brooklyn’s equal parts sultry and poppy Friends, wears many hats. She’s a musician, visual artist, and frequent collaborator with Dev Hynes (Blood Orange). If you’re not familiar with her, that’s her on the stage in the charming, Gia Coppola directed video for Blood Orange’s “You’re Not Good Enough.” She’s impossibly and effortlessly cool, and we knew we had to have her be our muse for issue #2. It’s undeniable that her cool and sunny spirit encapsulates the essence of ALT CITIZEN. Gaze into her crystal ball and you may find more questions than answers, but then again isn’t that what makes life more interesting?
