WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Fans of Bob Marley – listen to a previously lost song from the iconic singer-songwriter. The previously unreleased track is called ‘Selassie is the Chapel’, and don’t expect a party jam – this is a spiritual number, rich in harmonies. It’s good. You’ll like it. It was first recorded in ’68 and you can get…

Swedish pair GHLOW have announced a new album which will be called ‘Levitate’ and out in March. That’s all well and good, but can we listen to something first? Course we can! That’s precisely why we’ve done this piece. The new song is called ‘Big City’ and it’s a bit of a face-melter. Super fuzz,…

Say what you want about the insanity of stan-level fans, but occasionally, they do something you can’t help but applaud. When super fanatics aren’t doxxing or cancelling people over a decade old cock-up, they can unify and actually try for something quite noble. This time, it’s Taylor Swift’s Swifties, who are basically taking Ticketmaster to…

We reviewed Andre 3000’s new album, and while it was a ambient flute workout, we couldn’t help thinking about Outkast. It’s kinda unfair of us, but they’re hip hop’s greatest of all time (and we’ll fight you about that, if you like) and we always want to see the greatest in action. So with that,…

When The Beatles released Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, they probably knew they were onto something good, but the cultural impact it had invariably superceded expectations. Of course, the UK’s psychedelic set relied heavily on pirate radio stations, and one such broadcaster was the Big L – Radio London – transmitted from an old…

Listen, we understand if you completely sidestep reading this and hurriedly press play on the video below. We get it. However, if you want some dramatic tension building, then this clip is a mind-blower. Your two favourite Mormons, singing “your everlasting summer and you can see it fading fast, so you grab a piece of…

Fans of the heavier end of psychedelic rock, we have some good news for you! Swedish heavy-hitters Les Big Byrd have a new song out and they’ve set their controls to melt your brain. They have a new LP coming out called ‘Diamonds, Rhinestones and Hard Rain’ which will appear in March ’24. The first…

Both Young Thug and Donald Trump are up against the Georgia legal system, on a RICO trial, and both camps will be watching each other closely. This leaves people in a unique bind, where the innocence of one may directly influence the innocence of the other. See, broadly speaking, they’re being accused of the same…

Having watched the Kanye and Ty Dolla listening party, there were a number of moments worth talking about. And not for the first time, we have an element of separating the art from the artist, because as much of a piece of shit Ye has been lately, regrettably, he can still make a great tune.…

Given that 70% of the world uses Android, Apple are a strange phenomena given that, being the primary operating service in the States, it has a particularly loud voice in the marketing world. Of course, Apple fans are so sewn into the iOS mainframe that they can’t conceive of a world outside itself (which is…

J HUS BACK WITH AN ABSOLUTE BANGER
J Hus is brilliant and he’s had a run of tracks that are up there with the absolute cream. Whether you’re calling it hip hop, Afroswing, Afrobeats, or whatever, he’s returned with a track called ‘It’s Crazy’, and it’s great to have him back. Now, he’s had a number of issues with violence and whatnot,…

BLK ODYSSY HAS A COOL SONG OUT
Hip hop and R&B has fallen into a small rut lately and a lot of the huge innovation we’ve seen in recent years is mildly lacking at the top end. Well, good news – there’s something new out and it doesn’t sound like it’s been dialled in! BLK ODYSSY has announced an album called ‘Diamonds…

TINA TURNER, THE REALEST OF THE REAL
“Without Tina Turner we have no Beyonce. We have no Rihanna. We have no generation of Black women performers who transgressed all sorts of musical genres and without Tina Turner, we have no reclamation of Black woman’s sexuality in the context of rock and roll.” “Without Tina Turner, we have a new bereft in terms…
