WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
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…

John Cameron is a British music legend and you’ll definitely know his work knowingly or otherwise. If you’re wondering who he is, then if you’ve watched ‘Kes’, that’s him doing the soundtrack (and what a perfect soundtrack it is). If you’ve listened to Donovan, then he pretty much did the arrangements on all of Donovan’s…

This is 100% going to be an article that rants about the state of Twitter with the incredibly thin premise of being music related, because Doja Cat has said something funny about it. If you’re desperate for a Doja Cat music angle take – yes, she’s been a bit problematic and dim, and her next…

Noname is one of the most prodigiously talented rappers on the planet and wilfully at odds with the rest of the pack, which makes her music such a scintillating prospect. Melding beat poetry with Neo Soul, golden age funk, and a delivery that allows for both self-doubt and self-assurance, she’s been making some of the…

Remember how we all laughed at the influencers when they got duped into the world’s most awful music experience at Fyre Festival? How we all snorted at the dry-ass cheese sandwiches, hell-scapes, bedlam and tall talk from founder Billy McFarland? Well, someone tell the meme-makers and shitposters, because it’s coming back according to McFarland. Maybe…

Fun, sun-soaked piano pop? Thanks to the new one from Bonny Doon, we can shout YES PLEASE! The track is called ‘Let There Be Music’ and it’s the title track from the new LP they’re releasing with ANTI on June 16th. If the rest of the album is anything like this, then we’re sure to…

MOO DENG SINGLE IS LIKELY TO GET SHARED MORE THAN YOUR MATES’ BAND
Cute animals sell more than sex does, and that’s a fact. Mums are more likely to share a missing cat post on Facebook than they are likely to tell people to listen to their children’s music they’ve been making. And with that, it’s about to get worse. Viral hippo – Moo Deng – has released…

BIG NOISE AROUND MAXO KREAM
Maxo Kream’s ducking-and-diving storytelling has seen him collab with the likes of Tyler, The Creator and more, and he’s got a new LP out which admittedly, we’ve only skimmed so far – but it feels like there’s a buzz about the Texan which can’t be ignored. From threatening whoever, horny jams and pure shit-talking, the…

PIGSX7 WITH THE HEAVY HEAVY
They’ve got an awkward name, have Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs, Pigs. You get the impression they’re not arsed about this fact one bit, and besides, everyone’s already writing it down as Pigsx7. Anyway, they have a new heavy track out called ‘Detroit’ and with that, there’s news of a tour. This is the…

GIA FORD WITH THE DRAMA
We don’t know much about Gia Ford, but we heard this new song from her called ‘Earth Return’ and it’s really good. We think this might fall under ‘alt-pop’, but we’re not sure of some of these genres – not that they matter! We’re hearing some gloomy ace old French pop, a smidge of Lana…
