FADER BACK
So proud of this cover — my first for The FADER as editorial director. Xavier, to me, encompasses everything The FADER believes in: an artist who bends the rules and is a trailblazer but at the end of the day is someone with a genuine love for the craft. He’s wholesome, real, and his songs have come to mean so much to so many people.
