WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
We think Daine is a pop singer – who really knows what anything is anymore, as genres are blurred to the point of mush these days – but we think that Daine sounds like she’s making pop music, and we’re always in the market for a fun new pop song. ‘PDQ’ is a dancy, good-time…

We’ve heard that the ‘dancefloor is dead’ and Charli XCX is kinda going in a rock direction, but isn’t, but then keeps releasing pop songs with a rock edge, and the whole thing is mildly confusing, but the Stans seem happy enough in the feeling that they get it before anyone else does. Brat Summer…

Carly Rae Jepsen taught the hipsters how to fall in love with pop music, and she’s coming back with a double album that sounds like she might have them on a fish hook all over again, splitting the LP between two very hip sounding things. The new album is called ‘Day And Night’, and it’ll…

Channel Tres is great, whether you’re into rap or techno – get a gal that can do both, right? Well, there’s a new single out called ‘Black Techno Guy’ and it is from a new LP called ‘Experimental Rap’. On the track, you’ll hear Tres say: “I’m the Black techno guy, Black techno guy,” so…

Swamp Dogg has been knocking around a while now, but this whole damned time, he’s been a walking legend of funk-fused blues and wry observations – not to mention some natty outfits that are unparalleled! Well, he’s back and thinking about the big stuff with an album called ‘Swamp Dogg Contemplates The Afterlife’. The press…

The algorithm did its thing for a change, and dropped a video on us by an artist who goes by the name of D’Leesa. And she seems to be appearing on other algorithms too. Now, it’s easy to be suspicious when things start to go any version of viral, and you think there might be…

Are you listening to nothing but automated streaming playlists which keep serving up the same ol’ stuff? Are you finding out that Alexa throws you zero curveballs when you’re trying to find something to listen to while you’re cooking a Sunday lunch? Don’t worry – alternatives are available. Mixcloud is free to sign up with…

Julia Jacklin has announced a new LP called ‘The Gem’, which is good news! And of course, if you don’t want to read our words about the whole thing, you can skip to the bottom of this piece and listen to a new song from her. The new single is called ‘Get Away From Me (I…

Lily Seabird has been causing something of a stir, often being put in the pack of the new Indie Country which has been doing something to address the wrongs of a lot of Stadium Country lately. There’s a new album on the way called ‘Lightspheres On Their Way’ which you’ll be able to hear in…

Dawn Richard switches lanes while still managing to keep her essence in each of her projects, and now, she’s back to making the kind of R&B that makes you think ‘instant classic!’, which is good news seeing as it’s the Summer of R&B. Dawn has a new single out which features Durand Bernarr and it’s…

DAINE’S POP THAT CELEBRATES FAILURE
We think Daine is a pop singer – who really knows what anything is anymore, as genres are blurred to the point of mush these days – but we think that Daine sounds like she’s making pop music, and we’re always in the market for a fun new pop song. ‘PDQ’ is a dancy, good-time…

SO WHAT DO WE MAKE OF THE CHARLI XCX GUITAR POP PERIOD THEN?
We’ve heard that the ‘dancefloor is dead’ and Charli XCX is kinda going in a rock direction, but isn’t, but then keeps releasing pop songs with a rock edge, and the whole thing is mildly confusing, but the Stans seem happy enough in the feeling that they get it before anyone else does. Brat Summer…
