WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
We’re not bothering with anything like here, don’t worry. Everything you read today is just a normal story. However, that said, now we’ve drawn attention to it you might think we’ve completely made up our imminent Keanu Reeves piece up, when we haven’t. He’s just that nice.

She’s a DJ, she’s a producer – Jayda G is bring good and hypnotic vibes to make your feet move around wildly and, luckily enough, there’s a new tune out called ‘Blue Lights’ which is really good. There’s a new LP due too, called ‘Guy’, and that’ll be on Ninja Tune, which is a name…

It’s difficult trying to avoid being cancelled when someone keeps getting their breasts out and we, responsible music critics must pretend we haven’t seen the aforementioned breasts. Even if we have noticed the breasts, then we must underline how people should be able to free their breasts for whatever reason they like, because the people…

If you’ve not heard of Immaterial Possession, they’re an odd bunch. That’s a good thing, before you start any of that nonsense. They’ve got a new tune out called ‘Mercy of the Crane Folk’. What’s that about you ask? Well, it’s a song that is apparently a tale about a needy ghost that never gets…

03 Greedo has served 5 years in prison and is out on parole and, out of the gate, he’s not messing around. He’s got a new track out called ‘Buss Me A Script’ which features Maxo Kream and it is haaaaaaaarrrrrrrd. There’s a new LP in offing too (might be a mixtape, might not be…
-
Ed Sheeran has said that he doesn’t see the point in music critics. You might think that this is going to provoke some kind of butt-hurt response from us, given that this is a place for music criticism. Well, largely, there’s a point to this notion, given that people have Spotify and YouTube now, so…

Granted, that seems like an incredibly Brexity headline, but V V Brown is back with a new track called ‘Black British’, so we’re not being massive gammons. You may remember V V’s rootsy pop from the Noughties, but it’s 2023, and she’s got something she wants to say. And this is potent stuff, where she…

There’s going to be new music from Girls Aloud (if you’re pretending you don’t like them, you can stop now – it’s not cute) and that’s been confirmed by the achingly tremendous Kimberley Walsh. This is to mark the 20th anniversary of their debut LP ‘Sound Of The Underground’. The girls have been moderately active…

Great news if you want to sit with a load of other people and watch the Eurovision Song Contest at high volume – it’s going to be broadcast in British cinemas for the first time ever. Of course, everyone was trying to get tickets for the show in Liverpool and the whole thing sold out…
-
If you’ve made the killer Bollywood playlist to end them all on Spotify, you may have noticed that it’s not what it once was, and that’s because there’s hundreds of Bollywood music tracks missing on the platform, which is incredibly annoying. This has happened for boring business reasons, rather than anything actively nefarious. Spotify say…

RIP JIMMY CLIFF
Jimmy Cliff was a titan of music, especially in Reggae circles. While other Caribbean artist may have had more celebrity clout, Cliff was one of the true mavericks and superstars of Reggae, starring in movies and responsible for a slew of global hits, many of which turned the genre into a truly global phenomenon. He…

RICO NASTY REDISCOVERS HER SOUND
Many artists move toward the glitz and glamour while chasing the dream – but Rico Nasty’s time in California saw her wondering if she’d lost sight of what she was good at – notably, trap hip hop that’s designed to be played loud. “Shout out to the DMV for that eight count – we listened…

BEE GEES’ BEATLE MEDLEY
With the Beatles Anthology out, we’ve been on a Fab Four kick. While there’s few who have done it better, the Bee Gees are right up there with them and perhaps deserve their own Anthology series. With that in mind, we stumbled across a clip of the Bee Gees doing a medley on the Midnight…

REVIEW / FRUIT TONES / EASY PEELERS
When a band employs a back-to-basics rock ‘n’ roll sound, for the most part these days, you’ll see kids in thin jeans, mouthing off about ver hippies and acting like they’re the first people to have heard of The Sonics. That’s not always a bad thing, if you enjoy the snottiness of youth. Of all…
