WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
No, this isn’t bait – gifted MC Leikeli47 told everyone a while ago that she would be removing the mask and just being herself for the next stage of her career. She’s done exactly that in the release of the new track from the new LP. The new album is called ‘Lei Keli ft. 47 /…

New band time! They’re called Düül Suns which, with a name like that, you’d expect to be a bunch with a decent record collection or something, including some experimental German music from the ’70s. Well, these are a bunch of lads from New York and while it’s not space music, it is psychedelic. A bit…

Nu Jazzers BADBADNOTGOOD are back, and once again we’re pleased to announce, they’re noodling. It’s a groovy affair and if you already like the group, you’re not going to be disappointed here. They’ve teamed up with singer VCR, who says: “This is more than a song to me – it’s a milestone.” Big talk. We…

It might feel a bit on the nose, what with her surname being ‘Haha’, but Gelli Haha wants to remind you that, despite all the ills of the world, you’re still allowed to have fun, dance in your underpants at home, and that giddy pop dance music is still on the menu. Now, it’s not…

Alison Goldfrapp is one of our most cherished artists, from her work with Orbital in the ’90s, to being a one-woman Electro Glam stomper, to dancefloor queen and witchy, pagan folkie too! She’s just terrific. The good news is that she’s got a new LP coming out in August and it is called ‘Flux’. The…

We genuinely think there’s an argument for Bone Thugs-N-Harmony being the most underrated hip hop group ever. Hugely popular of course, and massively influential, but they’re criminally overlooked in a lot of Hall of Fame chat, for our money. In better news, they’ve just released a new single called ‘Aww Shit’, and even better is…

We’re not trying to be That Guy by getting excited about a DJ playing vinyl and mixing manually, but it is a treat when someone does a cool set the old way. There’s nothing wrong with the USB stick crew, but allow us to feel nostalgic. With that, we just finished listening to a brilliant,…

We’re forever rooting for Kacey Musgraves as she’s just about the freshest voice in country music at the moment, and seemingly is unafraid to march to the sound of her own drum, where a lot of other country musicians bind themselves with musical conservatism. Well, Kacey has signed to Lost Highway Records which has relaunched,…
-
We have been incredibly lazy when it comes to reminding ourselves to share the tracklisting from the FREE RANGE radio show. We plain forgot that it was a piece of admin we used to do, until we were reminded by a listener. So with that, here’s the latest show for May 2025, featuring a lot…

Jorja Smith has committed herself, it seems, to do whatever the hell she wants, and we’re absolutely strapped in for the ride. From dreamy R&B, to killer UK Garage appearances, and now, absolutely filthy bassline music. To get you up for the weekend, here’s her new track ‘The Way I Love You’, which will punch…
STOP HOARDING TUNES

SABRINA CARPENTER’S GIFFABLE NEW VIDEO
Sabrina Carpenter seems to be living her best life these days, and that’s exactly the kind of thing you want to see your pop stars doing – nice clothes, drunk cigs and splashy pop videos where everyone gets to play dress up. Concerning the latter, she’s released a new video which you’re inevitably going to…

WIRELESS – CANCELLED
The sponsors were pulling out, and the government were getting involved, so it isn’t surprising that the Kanye three night headliner set has seen Wireless Festival be fully cancelled. The UK government were talking about whether or not the artist would be allowed in the country, and have now fully blocked Kanye West’s travel to…

CHANPAN’S POP DRUM N BASS
Chanpan are from New York – which seems to be popping off as a city again these days, right? – and they’re a trio who make future facing, personality-led pop, which is no bad thing obviously if you’re in the market for something to get into. They’ve been making a decent amount of noise for…

GOVT + LIVE MUSIC + BREXIT
The Culture Minister – Ian Murray – has promised the “full commitment” of the UK government in a bid to remove the barriers around touring in the EU and UK, apparently. There’s been a lot of talk about this in recent years, with musicians hamstrung by bureaucracy and levies, while trying to earn a living.…
