WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
If you’ve not heard of Immaterial Possession, they’re an odd bunch. That’s a good thing, before you start any of that nonsense. They’ve got a new tune out called ‘Mercy of the Crane Folk’. What’s that about you ask? Well, it’s a song that is apparently a tale about a needy ghost that never gets…

03 Greedo has served 5 years in prison and is out on parole and, out of the gate, he’s not messing around. He’s got a new track out called ‘Buss Me A Script’ which features Maxo Kream and it is haaaaaaaarrrrrrrd. There’s a new LP in offing too (might be a mixtape, might not be…
-
Ed Sheeran has said that he doesn’t see the point in music critics. You might think that this is going to provoke some kind of butt-hurt response from us, given that this is a place for music criticism. Well, largely, there’s a point to this notion, given that people have Spotify and YouTube now, so…

Granted, that seems like an incredibly Brexity headline, but V V Brown is back with a new track called ‘Black British’, so we’re not being massive gammons. You may remember V V’s rootsy pop from the Noughties, but it’s 2023, and she’s got something she wants to say. And this is potent stuff, where she…

There’s going to be new music from Girls Aloud (if you’re pretending you don’t like them, you can stop now – it’s not cute) and that’s been confirmed by the achingly tremendous Kimberley Walsh. This is to mark the 20th anniversary of their debut LP ‘Sound Of The Underground’. The girls have been moderately active…

Great news if you want to sit with a load of other people and watch the Eurovision Song Contest at high volume – it’s going to be broadcast in British cinemas for the first time ever. Of course, everyone was trying to get tickets for the show in Liverpool and the whole thing sold out…

If you’ve made the killer Bollywood playlist to end them all on Spotify, you may have noticed that it’s not what it once was, and that’s because there’s hundreds of Bollywood music tracks missing on the platform, which is incredibly annoying. This has happened for boring business reasons, rather than anything actively nefarious. Spotify say…

Little Richard has long been adored, but he never truly got his flowers like many of his contemporaries did. That’s about to change. And about fucking time. Director Lisa Cortés’ has made a documentary about the greatest rock ‘n’ roll singer of all time called ‘Little Richard: I Am Everything’, which not only looks at…

Cameron Crowe – you know him from the brilliant but don’t think too hard about it or it ends up feeling a bit problematic Almost Famous – is apparently doing a movie about Joni Mitchell. Now, Joni is the realest of the real, so this feels long overdue, however, movies about musicians are often not…

And that’s a good thing. Don’t worry about it.

NEW CLIPSE IS EXCITING
‘Lord Willin’ is an all-timer of a rap LP, so it is worth getting excited that Pusha T and No Malice have started to roll-out the new stuff for their reunion. There’s a new LP called ‘Let God Sort ‘Em Out’ which, brilliantly, seems to be a Marge Simpson quote. The first new album in over a decade,…

LORDE IS MAN OF THE YEAR
Lorde’s new roll-out has been a pretty interesting one, with impromptu parties and such, and now a new song called ‘Man of the Year’, which is emotionally exposing in more than one way in the new video. Of the new LP – ‘Virgin’ – she’s sharing a new video where she throws herself wholeheartedly into…

MIX / ETHIOPIAN RECORDS
Look, we know Boiler Room kinda stinks – but when they do it right, they’re one of the best in the business against your better judgement. With that, in what feels like old Internet, giving you something totally unique, regional, and new, Ethiopian Records did a Boiler Room set and it’s an instant classic. New…

WEYES BLOOD X DRUGDEALER
When Drugdealer are on form, they’re irresistible. Weyes Blood is one of the finest artists on the planet right now. Add the two together? Magic. Of course, this is not the first collaboration between these two things, but this new track is a welcome return from some time out for both, and Weyes Blood is…
