WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Latto’s ‘Sunday Service’ is now an all-star affair now there’s a redo with the million selling Megan Thee Stallion and the mighty Flo Milli. As you’re expect, it’s a huge club ready clunky beat and firebrand cockiness on the mic from all three. An uber charismatic affair as you can imagine. It’s not a game-changer
-
The third Electric Pendergrass album has dropped, with more vaporwave-ish synth wibbles and obscure mining of soft breaks and bits. This new one, available to download for free (or at any price you fancy throwing into the hat if you’re feeling generous), is only available from Bandcamp, so if you’re waiting for Spotify, don’t hold
-
De La Soul have had their fair share of troubles when it comes to the songs they’ve sampled, who owns their back catalogue and all that murky stuff. It seems that there’s some wiggle room at long last, and now they’re able to enjoy their body of work that they’ve created. With that, there’s a

We’re generally not that fussed about Caribou, but you might like them and Dan Snaith seems like a nice fella, so here’s the news of a new single for you to listen to. It’s a sprightly affair and goes by the name of ‘Broke My Heart’. We’ve just looked into it and it seems there

Yune Pinku makes some of the best house adjacent bops around right now, and she’s done a remixes for the super hot talent Rachel Chinouriri, which is a bit of a dream match-up honestly. Pinku features on a lot of our end-of-year lists and Chinouriri is someone we’re keeping an eye on, so if that’s

We’re still really into the fact that there’s a musical outfit called Illuminati Hotties. What a fantastic thing to have people saying in record stores and the like. The fact it is one person is even better. Anyway, she’s announced her new LP called ‘Power’ which will be out in August and there’s a new

Nadine Shah has confirmed that she’s NOT playing at Glastonbury this year, which isn’t particularly interesting news in of itself. However, their reasons for doing so, is. She’s said that it’s too expensive to play at as an artist. She tweeted: “The rumours are untrue. I am NOT playing @glastonbury I would have liked to

Confidence Man are just about the most fun group on the planet, bringing back the campness of ’90s clubland and handbag and gyrating through live shows with light-up bras and spitting blood – they really deserve to be so much bigger than they are, and honestly, they’re packing out big ol’ rooms so it all

How much does it cost to put an album out? Let’s assume, for the sake of this article, that you’re focusing solely on streaming and that physical format production is a luxury most independent bands can’t afford in this cost of living crisis we’re all currently in. Okay, good. Making an album probably seems incredibly

Candie Payne’s ‘I Wish I Could Have Loved You More’ was one of the best albums of the Noughties, melding pop with ace ’60s girl group pop and noirish spy flick moodiness. These days, Candie is making art of a different stripe, but we’ve kept playing tracks like ‘All I Need To Hear’ and the

MUSIC JOURNALISM ON THE ROPES AGAIN
When we launched THEPOPCORPS, we fully intended to make no money. That was 100% the business model. No sponsorships, no kind editorials in exchange for goods and services from PR companies and record labels. No free tickets. No free albums. You’re more likely to give an honest review when you’re using your own money and…

ROCKIN’ NASHVILLE WITH JD MCPHERSON
There’s something in the lizard bit of our brain that just loves a song that sounds like it should be played late and way too loud in a dive bar somewhere. These songs don’t need to reinvent the wheel – they need to be good, honest rock ‘n’ roll, whatever stripe of rock that is.…

LONGPLAYER WITH THAT 70S GOOD GOOD
It seems that there’s a bit of a cottage industry around Drugdealer, where anyone related to them in any way is putting out sepia-toned ’70s pop, which is obviously a good thing. Are the returns a wholesale great thing? We dunno, but it’s always worth tuning in for honestly, given the strength of the second…
