WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Harry Styles doesn’t need reviews to help him being a continued success. He’s kinda quirky and well dressed enough that will keep his fanbase rabid – the nice tailoring will keep him ahead of his peers whatever music he puts out. And so, to his new album, ‘Kiss All The Time – Disco, Occasionally’, which…

Tinariwen have a new single out called ‘Amidinim Ehaf Solan’ and it is a timely piece about the turmoil of the political situation in the world right now. Touhami Ag Alhassane says the track “speaks of patience and unity amid political turmoil, a reminder that even a thirsty land can turn green again.” The lyrics…

Another month is done and another radio show is out for your listening pleasure. FREE RANGE RADIO is our complimentary (and complementary) radio show that we put online for free and will be available to listen to for a few months whenever you feel like it. Comments, requests and shout-outs welcomed. This show features some…

You think synthpop and [insert]wave might be done and dusted, but then someone releases a single and it all comes flooding back, and just why you love analogue synths and ’80s arpeggio basslines so much. And so, to Michelle Sara’s new single – ‘Forever’ – which is a slow, bubbling thing which really ticks the…

If you know Aldous Harding, you probably already love her and that headline is of absolutely zero surprise to you. That said, this won’t stop us from getting all excited about new music and sharing it. This new one is a gorgeous piece of music that drops into a lovely little groove and we don’t…

We’ve featured Green-House on our pages a couple of times now, and we’re thrilled to share even more music as we’re completely rapt. They have a new album coming out on Ghostly International and to celebrate that, a second single has been issued which we’re completely in love with called ‘Under The Oak’. The new…

Things appear online and you just have to admire people’s ability to find stuff and share it with everyone without wanting recompense. Here then, we have one of the finest videos we’ve seen – a funk, gospel and soul revue from 1970 which stars Tina Turner, Five Stairsteps, Edwin Hawkins Singers, The Isley Brothers, The…

We are big fans of PinkPantheress here, and her album ‘Fancy That’ has rightly got a shedload of plaudits and enthusiasts. And then came the remixes, which were also a whole load of fun too! Well, now there’s a Four Tet remix which is a energetic little affair and not two artists we’d immediately put…

You need to be on the ball to keep up with JME as he doesn’t really do things like anyone else. Name another MC that stopped performing while they made money selling hoverboards. Right. Well, he’s put out a new hot banger, and he’s all out of track names. No fuss, no drama, no promo…

Fun, wholesome albums are hard to get behind a lot of the time, because they can sound insincere and wishy-washy in an environment where pop is required to be overtly sexy or have some kind of grievance. However, with Hilary Duff’s new album, she’s super easy to root for. She’s embraced the memes, she’s nostalgia…

MAGA GETS A NEW POPSTAR
“I’m not a citizen of America. Isn’t that crazy?” Those are the words of Nicki Minaj, to her fans in a livestream, some years ago. “I was born on a beautiful island called Trinidad and Tobago. But I’ve been in the States for many years. You would think that with the millions of dollars that…

It’s a limited run, so don’t hang around – 3,000 copies and selling quickly. Tony Wilson (jesus, him again) notoriously said of Bugged Out!: “There was The Twisted Wheel in the…

ALEX HORNE’S 24 HOUR SONG RIGHT NOW
Alex Horne has a band called The Horne Section and of course, is the creator of Taskmaster, so his brain works a little differently. For charity, he’s singing live for a whole 24 hours doing a version of Ace’s ‘How Long’, which is really funny. Horne and his band, along with some guests, are doing…
