<p>Ever since some naked chick took a bite out of a spiked apple after some prodding from a snake, food has always served as an irresistible metaphor for artists, laymen, morons, and geniuses all the same.

Maybe it’s because they’re all quite attractive, maybe it’s because this was kind of the norm back in the slutty 2000s, and maybe it’s because the London artist’s new alt-pop single “Kissing My Best Friend” has gotten us in the mood. The track follows Wilde’s March debut album […]</p>
