WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

This is a genuinely lovely bit of news and it doesn’t matter if you’ve heard of Bring Me The Horizon or not. Trust us. Keep reading, it’ll be worth it in the end. What’s going on then? Well, there’s a children’s author called Oliver Sykes. The singer of BMTH is called Oli Sykes. People have…

As Chromeo and A-Trak feature on the song, we considered putting their names in the headline for more Google ranking clout, but decided against it foolishly. Still though, Ric Wilson and Chromeo and A-Trak all on one very, very, very fun new song that will make you wish it was Friday night. It’s retro enough…

The amount of money an artist receives for making music is a hot topic at the moment. Apart from a few at the top, it sincerely looks like a lot of mid-tier and smaller bands simply can’t afford to be musicians, professionally. There’s people playing large gigs who still have office jobs. Whether or not…

If you go on Kate Bush’s website, something’s changed. There, you’ll see a landing page for something called Fish People. Does this mean new music? Let’s not get too excited, but let’s hope, eh? So what do we know? Well, Fish People is a label set up by Kate in 2011. It has focused on…

Rema is referred to as a runaway and the next obvious superstar of African music, and with the latter, that could very well be true if they aren’t already. Inspired by Wizkid, D’Banj and Burna Boy, it isn’t difficult to imagine Rema hitting the same heights with some ease. There’s a couple of new songs…

There’s going to be an anniversary of Queen releasing their first LP, and with that, Radio 2 have asked their listeners to vote on what the group’s best song is. Of course, one of the massive stadium filling songs is going to win, but honestly, someone should rig the vote and have it so something…

Hard Feelings, we think, is Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard and Amy Doublas. We’d check, but we have to check everything at the minute and it’s tiring. You can just watch the video below, wish it was Friday night already, and then do your own research for once. This is called ‘Dangerous’ and is a remix…

Just because you’ve grown a little weary of one type of thing doesn’t make it automatically bad. However, hip hop has suffered a little from being introspective and melancholy, when given the state of the world, we really could do with a shed-load of in-your-face fun. So with that, thank god for ‘Nasty Dancer’ by…

Some people want to be DJs because they want to share all the music they love with other people. Some people want to become a celebrity. Then, there’s Chris Moyles and we’re not sure what he wants. Does he remind you of one of those lads who turns up half-way through a gig with 7…

NEW LP FROM 3 STACKS?
Andre 3000 has new music on the go. Of course, the last LP was an ambient, earthy album, so anyone expecting a rap album shouldn’t get too excited… but then again, should you rule it out? That’s what we love about 3 Stacks, right? In an interview with the evil overlords at Amazon, he was asked…

PSYCHEDELIC AMERICANA FROM ROSE CITY BAND
You don’t need an essay every time someone shares a new song with you, right? Basically, what we have here is a super pleasant slice of popsike Americana from the Rose City Band. Related to Wooden Shjips, which is a sign of a good time, eh? We know that it is taken from the forthcoming…

NOIR POP FROM CORNELIA MURR
We’re hearing a smidge of noirish French ’60s pop in this new one from singer-songwriter Cornelia Murr, which is very welcome and perfect for this time of year, honestly. She’ll have a new album, out in February called ‘Run to the Centre’, and to whet the whistle, you can listen to ‘Meantime’, which is a…

REVIEW / FLO / ACCESS ALL AREAS
There was a collective feeling that, in the period that was post-girl group, that while the solo singers and artists were all well and good, we were in the mood for a new pop group of some kind. We’ve seen a huge amount of impressive R&B solo stars and soul-adjacent singers, but when you’re listening…
