WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Cami Layé Okún is one of the finest and funnest DJs around right now. Playing music from Cuba (and elsewhere, but you need a hook, right?) she’s all about that rhythm and sunshine melody! This is not so much a piece where we need to write a great deal – basically, go follow her on…

Hip hop has found itself in a funny place lately. Everyone’s broke. There’s been a pandemic. Energy bills are out of control. Prices are going up. It’s difficult to listen to someone talk about how many millions they’ve got hanging off their wrist. It’s tough to stomach listening to someone complain about how lonely they…

Have you heard of Michael Rault? Well, there’s a good chance he released the finest LP of 2022, if you’re into perfect pop that’s cut with all good things like West Coast 70s music, Paul McCartney’s Wings, ELO (aka Beatles: The Musical), Harry Nilsson etc. If you need more modern recommendations, then file Michael Rault…

This was the case with Tinashe who was being pigeonholed by old bosses and being thrown toward directions and collaborations that, if we’re being kind, we’re ideal. Tinashe has always had her own independent spirit and early stuff excited R&B…

GLAM BANGER FROM EARTH TONGUE
They’re named after a type of funky fungus, which is fun. What’s even more fun is the new song from Earth Tongue which is a loud, brash slice of spiky glam punk. They hail from New Zealand and have a new LP out soon called ‘Great Haunting’. You can get your paws on that in…

Meet Jeff from New York’s Music Inn. He might just be the most interesting person you’ll listen to all year. This charming film is short, beautifully shot,…
