WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Doechii has called herself a number of things over the years – the one we like best is “the trap Grace Jones” – and if that’s piqued your interest, shall we get onto the lovely business of a new record to listen to? She’s got a new one out called ‘Nissan Altima’, which to the

It is kinda funny that Charli XCX announced BRAT SUMMER when Confidence Man have been acting up for ages now, sneering and partying like the world might end tomorrow. With that, they’ve got a new song out called ‘SO WHAT’ which is the usual mixture of pouting and hedonism which is difficult to pull off
-
After a well advised name-change, The Blessed Madonna has a new track out and it sounds like a weekend banger to us. It is called ‘Godspeed’ and features DJ E-Clyps. Very nice. The Blessed Madonna will be releasing her first full length LP and that’ll drop in October so we’ve a while to wait yet.

Y’know, it is nice to hear someone who has been there and done it, say that they’re not bothered by a lot of the trappings that comes with being a big ticket road dog. Chrissie Hynde and her Pretenders have forged a very successful career for decades now, so it’s not like she doesn’t know

‘Aminalympics’ is a cult favourite among many, and is a 1980 feature length animation that was blighted by America’s then-political situation, made by a TV powerhouse, voiced by superstars, soundtracked by pop royalty, produced by someone who would go on to make a gigantic Hollywood blockbuster, and sadly, not the famous and classic cartoon it

![BILLIE EILISH VS CHARLI XCX [TRAFFIC BAIT]](https://thepopcorps.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/good2520ones2520video2520still2520photo2520credit2520terrence2520o27connor.jpeg?w=1024)
Billie Eilish and Charli XCX have joined forces on a song. It is part of a deluxe version of the ‘BRAT’ album, which all the popstars are doing at the moment to bump up the streams and sales. It’s canny marketing, but you wonder if fans will cool on buying albums when they come out

There’s a film due out in September which surrounds Blur’s Wembley foray, which honestly, looks like a real nice time. It’s basically nice to see the gang back together and Damon and Graham being pals again. There’s a clip of their performance of ‘Beetlebum’ you can watch, which not only shows the magnitude of the

We promised we’d share the new video from The Junipers when we had it, and here it is! It’s a wonderful nugget of sunshine super pop, with hooky organ and dreamy psychedelia. If you’re into popsike, Emitt Rhodes and all that good stuff, you’ll love The Junipers already no doubt. In case you’re new here,

We’ve featured Lael Neale before and like her music a lot. It’s a kinda Velvetsy, kinda singer-songwritery music that is varied and sure footed and really turns our dials! ‘Electricity’ is the name of her new single and it’s got a fun, charming video to accompany it, which you can watch below. Neale says, “I

Everything is not as good as it used to be, music is worse, music journalism is doomed, the radio is bad, there’s nothing on TV, whatever happened to that good ol’ rock ‘n’ roll?, it’s all autotune, the DJs don’t even beat match, its all Tik Tok dances and blah, blah, blah, yadda, yadda, yadda,

HEAVY PSYCH FROM EARTH TONGUE
If you like your psychedelic music to be fuzzy and heavy, then you need to get on the new track from Earth Tongue. They’re going to release a new album – their third – and it is produced by Ty Segall. It will be called ‘Dungeon Vision’, and the track we’re sharing here is called…

JAMES BLAKE WITH MORE ROBO SOUL
James Blake has returned with some new music, namely, the first single from the new album ‘Trying Times’, which is landing on shelves digital or otherwise on March 13th. The new song is called ‘Death of Love’, which he performs live in the new video for it. Look, with names like those, they’re not going…

SIDESHOW’S INTERESTING RAP
In all honesty, we don’t know much about the rapper who calls himself Sideshow, but we just heard a new track from them and we thought it was pretty interesting. Do you call it indie-hip hop? Whatever it is, it isn’t rage rap, trapcentric or a Golden Era throwback, which means he’s making music in…

ALDOUS HARDING TOUR DATES
Did you see Aldous Harding post something on Instagram recently, about some tour dates, but couldn’t really read it because the colours were making your eyes go fizzy and the quality of the image was pretty bad? Well, don’t worry – we’ve written them all down so you don’t have to squint. She’s going on…
