WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
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…

Janelle Monae is back with some new music after ‘Dirty Computer’ took over the world. Since then, they’ve been branching out a bit, but we write about music and it’s new tunes we’re most interested in. So, the new track is called ‘Float’ and as the title suggests, it’s a pretty dreamy number – so…

Men I Trust have a bunch of cool songs, so it’s good that they’ve got a new one out. They hail from Canada and release their own stuff and are generally very cool like that. It’s heady, bedroom indie pop, and this new one may be their strongest song to date. It’s called ‘Ring Of Past’…

The YouTube ‘My Analog Journal’ is a goldmine for great music tip-offs, with a host of guest DJs simply putting ace records on in a number of lovely looking rooms on some nice kit. It’s a simple premise and all the better for it. There’s no Kids TV presenter gubbins that litters so much of…

ETHEL CAIN DEMOS
If you enjoyed the last Ethel Cain record – and you should’ve because it’s great – then you can have a peer behind the curtain of it, with the release of some demos. It’s the demos from ‘Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You’ and they were released on NYE, but we’ve only just seen them…

REVIEWING ALL THE SMITHS ALBUMS
To say we’re not fans of The Smiths would be something of an understatement. Seeing as fans of the group fail to take the hint and keep proselytising about them, it might be time to see what the actual deal is. Of course, these records have been listened to in the past, but in the…

DOECHII + SZA
Welcome to 2026, and let us start the year with some new music, as tempted as we were to start the new year off with some snark. Let’s be nice before we get to saying anything salty about anyone, right? We kick off with a TDE love-in, as Doechii and SZA team up on an…

CHRIS REA / A BIGGER LEGEND THAN HE LET ON
Chris Rea has sadly left us, and this being the Christmas period, it’s sad that he left as people settled down to his classic yuletide groover, ‘Driving Home For Christmas’. There’ll be a lot of fond words written about the great man, but we’d like to pay tribute by highlighting some of his finest songs,…
