WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
As Chromeo and A-Trak feature on the song, we considered putting their names in the headline for more Google ranking clout, but decided against it foolishly. Still though, Ric Wilson and Chromeo and A-Trak all on one very, very, very fun new song that will make you wish it was Friday night. It’s retro enough…

The amount of money an artist receives for making music is a hot topic at the moment. Apart from a few at the top, it sincerely looks like a lot of mid-tier and smaller bands simply can’t afford to be musicians, professionally. There’s people playing large gigs who still have office jobs. Whether or not…

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…

NOW WE CAN LISTEN TO ZAYN’S UKG TRACK
We warned you that there may be a summer of UKG imminent, so we should probably expect Drake to randomly appear with a half-written track that’s irritatingly catchy to cement the deal. However, until then, the coolest and best member of One Direction AND VERY MUCH HIS OWN MAN BLAH BLAH BLAH, Zayn Malik is…

ILLUMINATI HOTTIES // SUPER ALT COUNTRY ROCK
Remember in the ’90s, there was something of a boom of ace alt-country rock? Well, say it quietly, but it might be making something of a comeback and the new one from the superbly named Illuminati Hotties is proof of that. They have a new out called single ‘Truck’ which is a nice chugger and…

ISLET ARE WELSH WONDERS
It’s a bit silly assuming bands are good just because they come from a certain place, but certain countries definitely make us prick our ears up more quickly than others. One such country is Wales, despite being responsible for a fair amount of mid-table indie. No such problems with Islet who have a new song…

NME TO RETURN TO SHELVES
Music, Saturday Night Live, football seasons, video games and the NME – they all have one thing in common in that, old people say the exact period they indulged most in them is obviously, unbiasedly, the best period for them. That’s complete cobblers of course, so keep that in mind when we tell you that…
