WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Good news power pop fans! We have news that Dent May is releasing a new album called ‘What’s For Breakfast?’. That’s out in March and it should be a total winner based on his previous outings! Sugary sweet melodies, big pianos and choruses – we’ve loved his stuff and ‘Late Checkout’ is a massive favourite!

Most musicians fall off eventually, don’t they? And so, to Pharrell Williams who was once a prince amongst men, and then starred in a super dodgy Robin Thicke video, did some gigs that were literal fundraisers for the IDF, and now perhaps worst of all, collaborating with Mumford & Sons on a new song called

There’s no money in writing about music, and that seems to be a sad fact of the present day. In fact, there’s been no money in it for years, which is a shame as music criticism and opinion struggles to gain a foothold in a period where, honestly, most fans are waiting for marquee releases

Playboi Carti has a new song out called ‘EvilJ0rdan’, on the back of some pretty unsavoury stuff. He appeared with Kanye while he was wearing his Klan hood, on the back of an allegation that he’d choked and assaulted his pregnant girlfriend. The track is below and contains lyrics like “monkey nuts, hold me, baby”

A website asked, because of her all conquering popularity, if Taylor Swift is a genre all to herself now. No, of course she isn’t. Don’t be ridiculous.

Akini Jing is making some seriously good future pop and you need to get on it right now. New LP is out called ‘VILLAIN’ and after writing for other acts, they’re now keeping the good stuff for themselves. Cyborg-ish, forward thinking music that’s crucially fun and catchy too. New track, ‘Call Me Shadow’, is flawless stuff,

The thing with Old Heads is that they can’t help but slate stuff they think is new, even though it’s kinda old hat now. Look at any YouTube comment section, and there they are, saying Justin Bieber isn’t good, even though he’s like, thirty years old now or something. Autotune is bad, and new hip

The early 2000s is when Grime really popped off, and that was over 20 years ago. So yes, throwback is entirely appropriate for the new banger from Dizzee Rascal, JME and D Double E. The new track is a thronker of a thing, and called ‘What You Know About That’. It’s from Dizzee’s imminent ‘Don’t

Shoegaze making a comeback was probably a bit of a pleasant surprise for some of the older heads, as there was a period where it was cripplingly unfashionable. However, MBV got back together and did some shows and destroyed everyone’s earholes, and the young indie fans got lost in the wash of distortion and reverb

The hotshot from Puerto Rico, Young Miko, has teamed up with Argentinian producer Bizarrap to make an early 2024 banger! It’s not got a catchy name, but you’re going to enjoy it. It’s called ‘Young Miko: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 58’. Hardly rolls off the tongue, does it? Now, this is melodic and the flow
