WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Keigo Oyamada is better known as Cornelius, and he’s one of the most inventive musicians on the planet, and has been for ages. The last thing we wrote about was an absolute gem, and you can hear it here. He’s back with a new tune, to mark the signing to label Eat Your Own Ears…

Nia Archives looks like someone who is set to take over the world, having all the ingredients for a full-on, proper star. Like, she’s grabbed drum ‘n’ bass by the lapels and shook it up the most since the day of, say, Roni Size and Goldie – ready to be a face for the genre. Well,…

It always feels like it’s Autumn in Noah Kahan’s heart, which is no bad thing if you’re making the kind of music that sensitive souls feel nourished and supported by. And now, after becoming a gigantic star, he’s arrived at an album where he’s surely been asking some questions of himself. See, Kahan is a…

Charli XCX is making a rock album. She’s been pretty funny about her post-Brat moves, saying that she’s okay with it being a flop etc. In a Vogue interview – always good for a quote – she declared that “the dance floor is dead”, which of course it isn’t, but toward guitars she goes and…

Don’t be fooled by the headline – we’re not saying anyone is a saddo for liking Alex G – he makes perfectly good music for perfectly nice people. However, we have noticed that a number of his fans seem to be a little depressed and have made him their spokesperson, of a fashion. I wonder…

If you’re into synthesiser music, someone coming at it with a fresh angle is always welcome – enter Manuela. A new album is due in June, and the first track reminds us of Karen Dalton, if she was produced by Eno – how about that?! The new record is called ‘Ultraviolet’ and follows some hot…
-
Have you felt it in the air? R&B summer is upon us and Momo Boyd’s ‘Oops’ single is yet another signpost for it! There’s been a host of great R&B releases and mercifully, there’s real diversity after the genre suffered from being mildly stuck in the mud for a while. We’ll eventually do a whole…

Sophia Stel says she’s a pop star, but don’t expect the glittery sheen of Sabrina Carpenter here. This pop filled with doom. She’s just released a new single called ‘Bitches Talk Shit’ which kinda underlines that point. Sophia has been getting a lot of people’s knickers in a twist and is setting off on a UK…

Rare DM has a new record out soon which goes by the name of ‘Attention’, and you can have a preview of what it might sound like right now. The appetiser is in the shape of new track ‘Honey’, which is moody, but simultaneously, upbeat. She says of it: “I wrote it during the uncertain…
-
Good news for Tricky fans – he’s just announced a new album called ‘Different When It’s Silent’, which will be out in July. This is the first release under the Tricky name in six years. He’s also got a new manager you might recognise called Alan McGee who convinced him not to give this music…

COMET GAIN ARE STILL DIY CHAMPS
If you’re into DIY indie music, chances are, you’re already fizzing with excitement at the mere mention of Comet Gain. If you’re not, let us introduce you to them with their new single called ‘Beat Of The Veins’. It’s skuzzy pop music, and this new song heralds the imminent arrival of new long-player, ‘Letters To…

MILEY’S GOT A NEW ONE
Look, we understand that talking about anyone’s appearance is entirely reductive, especially when part of this project is about (in her own words) not “chasing perfection.” However, as raw as her new video is, we couldn’t stop looking at her fancy teeth. Have they been like that for ages? Is that the difference between normal…

EUROVISION: LISTEN TO THE BOOKIES FAVES
Eurovision is tonight, so if you don’t want spoilers, look away. The bookmakers have been having their say, after doing whatever research they do, and listening to whatever grapevine they’ve been earwigging. Will they be right? Maybe, maybe not. We’ll find out on the night. We can listen to their five favourites in advance, and…

WOLF ALICE ARE INDEED BACK
We wondered if Wolf Alice were coming back. Well, turns out they were and they have a new single out which is really cool and has a whiff of NYC Cuban music about it, which is never a bad thing! The single is called ‘Bloom Baby Bloom’ and it’ll appear on new album ‘The Clearing’.…
