WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Sure, it might be lazy turning something of a full article out about a single track because it’s new, but seeing as everyone on social media has forgotten how to do tip-offs about the new music they like in favour of hoarding it to themselves so they can unveil it at the end of the…

We’d sorta forgotten Jorja Smith existed honestly, but she’s been off Stateside doing bits, and sadly for her the excitement and promise of her intial releases were pretty much quashed by rumours of getting off with Drake and being the person Stormzy cheated on Maya Jama with. Whether these rumours were true are worth nothing…

You can be mildly irritated by things. Not everything has to be full blown hot take, does it? And the fact is, while Harry Styles seems like a decent enough fella, he’s mildly irritating us. A couple of really good pop songs and all that, the press run for ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ just made us…

One of the most influential people in British bass culture has sadly left the building. Jah Shaka is a magnificently important person when it comes to soundsystem culture in the UK, in part, paving the way for so much music that follow in his footsteps. Born in Jamaica, part of the post-Windrush wave, based in…

Let’s face it – there’s not many better names on the front of a record than Ross From Friends. We can only think of DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ as one we like more. For those not initiated, Ross From Friends makes dance music and a lot of it absolutely slaps. And handily, there’s a…

When Dawn Richard releases new music, you owe it to yourself to listen up. She’s terrifically underrated and versatile and time and time again, she makes wonderful and interesting things. With that, she’s back, and we’re thrilled! The new song is called ‘Bubblegum’ and it’s a whole tonne of maximum fun. Richard has gone super…

Sometimes, good music feels like it actively nourishes you and one such band that are better than vitamins are Sweden’s Dina Ögon. Seriously – you’ll actively feel better about your insides after listening to them. So what’s the deal? Well, two albums in, the group are melding styles that are all as wonderful as each…

This is some Eurovision news, but only the semi-final, so don’t get too worked up. You read Rita Ora in the headline and either got excited or irritated. Calm your boots, there’s plenty of time for pithiness yet. Besides, there’s something quite fun to talk about, but we’ll get to that. Rita Ora, again making…

Most famous for being a lead in the 5th Dimension, Marilyn McCoo is obviously a wonderful, wonderful singer. If you’ve ever listened to the harmony group, you’ll already know what a gorgeous singing voice she has. She’s been party to a number of fabulous hits and when she went solo, not as successful as in…

TONY HAWK 3+4 ADD BANGERS
When music and video games collide, it really is a wonderful thing – and there’s not many games that straddled both worlds quite like the Tony Hawk series of games did. Like skateboarding itself, it’s not just about the activity itself – it is equally about the lifestyle that envelopes it. Sports games tend to…

MJ LENDERMAN TOUR
Every time country music goes worldwide, lurking in the sidelines, is someone making a more record-collector version of country, and they get all the scruffy boys and girls all giddy! This time around, it is MJ Lenderman who is carrying the torch of Silver Jews-esque slacker country, and it’s great. Good news for people in Europe,…

SUMMER RAP FROM SAMARA CYN
It is always nice to have a bit of hip hop which feels like it was made for the summer. Laid back, witty, vibey affairs to bop along to while you’re going about your business. Thanks to Samara Cyn, we’ve got some of that going on, just in time for some nicer Spring weather. The…

BALEARIC FUN FROM JOY OLADOKUN
We don’t know a huge amount about Joy Oladokun, but we know we like this song when we heard it! It’s a great little chugger – Balearic beat, you might say. You might not. It’s a fine vibe though, and we can see it popping off while you’re having a dance in your living room…
