WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Aminé is one of the more melodic rappers on the scene and when he’s on form, he’s an absolute joy to listen to. There’s new music afoot too, and you can hear two songs from whatever project he’s got planned for everyone. These are his first two songs of the year, which would suggest a

WHSmith are going to start selling records again and obviously, we’re hoping that they bring back the cool bags they had in the ’70s and ’80s while they’re at it. This is the first time the retailer will be selling vinyl in their stores in decades. Exciting stuff, and proof that the world of LPs
-
We all love Spinal Tap – only losers can’t quote huge bits of the movie and singing along to the likes of ‘Stonehenge’ and ‘Gimme Some Money’. Well, if you want the guys stood on your shelf full of fancy things, you’re going to love these new figurines. These figures from Super7 and feature David

While Kylie might be the UK’s Queen of Disco by repatriation, Sophie Ellis-Bextor is definitely in the conversation for someone who has served our dancefloors very well indeed. And she’s back with a new single which is, of course, aimed squarely at shaking your behinds along with. After the resurgence thanks to ‘Murder On The
-
Kate Bush spooks pretty easily, so while it’s okay to get excited at the prospect of new music from her, please don’t frighten her off with over-the-top proclamations and hype she can’t live up to, okay? Cheers, thanks, magic. No-one is listening, are they? She’s said, in an interview with Radio 4, that she’s got

DJ Magazine have been sharing some ace videos about dance hits with the people who made them. They’re all gold, honestly. This one stars Roni Size talking about the magical ‘Brown Paper Bag’ and what led him to the ‘New Forms’ LP and more. Super interesting, so press play.

George Harrison’s estate have been busy and put out an acoustic version of ‘Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth) (Take 18)’ and now, we get an unreleased version of ‘Be Here Now’ for the anniversary of ‘Living in the Material World’. The LP was basically the album that paid for his Concert for

Look, it’s not every day you get to write that as a headline, but when you see it as a song title like we did, you’re compelled to find out more. What we were faced with was Elita’s chaotic song that combines cutesy dream pop with shrieking industrialism. Elita is apparently an ‘Instagram model’, but
-
Remember when Alessia Cara burst onto the pop scene with the moody and cool ‘Here’? She was just an itty bitty thing then, but she’s growing musically and it’s a good thing. The new song is called ‘(Isn’t It) Obvious’ and it’s nice to see some brackets in a song title, but more importantly, it’s

We were watching an old clip of Motorhead playing on Top of the Pops, and that’s a fun thing all by itself… but someone else sprang out at us While the assembled crowd seemed mildly bewildered at the sight of adrenaline filled rock n roll in the studio, to the right of the stage in

REVIEW // TRAVIS SCOTT // UTOPIA
2023 has been a lean year for big time, platinum plated releases, and with the fact that there’s been a sore lack of number ones for the most competitive genre on the planet (after all, hip hop is a contact sport), Travis Scott is here to generate the fuss. And is there much fuss to…

NEW MACCA TOUR?
Looks like Paul McCartney – the greatest living human on planet earth – is planning a big ol’ tour, which is great news for those of us who like seeing someone take yet another victory lap for a frankly absurd life of insane quality. On his social channels, it said ‘GOT TO GET YOU INTO…

STOP BEING TOO HIP // ICE SPICE STILL FUN AS HELL
Ice Spice appeared out of nowhere to many, and she was a breath of fresh air. Pure, fun, hip hop to shake your arse with. Of course, hipsters started saying it wasn’t all that, while at the other end of the spectrum, people started defending her like she was the saviour of hip hop. Neither…

SOFIA KOURTESIS’ SMART DANCE
Sofia Kourtesis is a new name to us, but this track we just heard is an absolute gem that you need to start shuffling your feet to as soon as you can. The Peruvian (but based in Berlin, for what it’s worth) has announced an album called ‘Madres’ which we’re very keen to hear. It’s…
