WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
If you love your trap to be cut with a little sugar, then you’re probably already a fan of Rico Nasty’s work. Her new LP is due and goes by the name of ‘Lethal’, and this is the first track from it, ‘On The Low’. Interestingly, this album will be released on the Fueled By
-
The story of Duffy’s sudden absence from music is one of the most heartbreaking stories in pop. For those who missed the news, she opened up about a tremendously upsetting ordeal, where she spoke about being kidnapped, held hostage, being drugged and raped. Duffy had retreated from the world of music to rightly recover and
-
Day-glo, Looney Toons hip hop, has a special place in everyone’s heart. Only the coldest cynic would fail to break into a huge smile when Skee-Lo’s ‘I Wish’ pumps out of some speakers. That’s where Will Smith lived, with his perennial good time hits like ‘Summertime’, ‘Boom! Shake The Room!’, ‘Miami’ and all. While rap
-
Get ready for a whole new generation of kids to learn that Phil Spector is a bad character! That’s because, there’s been a long rumoured biopic about Ronnie Spector in the works, and now we know it’s a thing! It’ll be made by A24 (that’s promising, for starters) and Ronnie herself will be played by
-
With a band name like The Horrors, perhaps it is all a bit much to expect too much cheer on one of their records. With this being 2025, and their first LP arriving in 2007, it seems, The Horrors persist. They’ve ducked and dived in the shadows of their influences for years, touching on garage
-
Miley Cyrus has gone and announced her new album with a visual teaser. The LP will be called ‘Something Beautiful’, and it is billed as being something that is ‘hypnotic and glamorous’. It’ll be out May 30th. So what can we glean from the spurts of marketing from it? Well, it does seem to have

Andy Shauf knows his way around a melody, and along the way, has picked up a very dedicated set of fans. He’s got a band called Foxwarren, and they have a new tuneful number out called ‘LISTEN2ME’, and it’s great! There’s going to be a new album too, called ‘2’, which you’ll be able to
-
Look, sometimes you get a press release that’s so good, and so comprehensive, that there’s little point in trying to rewrite it and pass it off as your own. With that in mind, after this opening paragraph, we’ve just cut and pasted the whole thing and you’ll get all the info you need from it.
-
People who like Cass McCombs are a keen bunch, so they probably already know that there’s a new track from the man himself out. For the rest of us, he’s done a Tiny Desk show for NPR, and he included a new song in it, and we’re linking to the studio version for you to
-
It really is about time that Sister Rosetta Tharpe had a biopic, seeing as she influenced an entire generation of rock ‘n’ roll artists who came after her – a real trailblazer, and more importantly, in possession of a ferocious talent. With that in mind, a biopic we will get, and playing her will be

FUTURE JAZZ WITH HIGH PULP
Like futuristic music? Like jazz? Well, LA’s High Pulp may well have just the thing for you with their new track called ‘(If You Don’t Leave) The City Will Kill You’. Optimistic title, that. They have a new LP coming out called ‘Days In The Desert’ in July. They’re a collective so there’s loads of…

A THING THAT WILL ONLY CONFIRM YOUR FEELINGS ABOUT NEIL TENNANT AND/OR DAVID BOWIE
We’ll keep this brief because not everything has to be a bloody essay. Fact is, if you love David Bowie and you love the Pet Shop Boys, these few words won’t swerve you one jot. Wonderful Neil Tennant has recalled bumping into David Bowie at the Brits in the ’90s. He said: “I remember him…

ED SHEERAN MIGHT QUIT MUSIC [JOKES + SERIOUS STUFF]
Ed Sheeran has said that he might knock the whole music thing on the head if he loses his case in a copyright infringement trial. Are we going to joke about this? Of course we are, because partly, it’s funny in a lowest common denominator way. However, there’s a serious point in all of this…

HIP FONTS OF THE US GOVT
Like looking at ace 70s graphic design? Cool fonts? You’re in luck. You’ll have to not sneer at Richard Nixon briefly, but you’re a grown up, you’ll manage. Here’s a great, short video that should set you off down some graphic design wormholes.
