WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Cami Layé Okún is one of the finest and funnest DJs around right now. Playing music from Cuba (and elsewhere, but you need a hook, right?) she’s all about that rhythm and sunshine melody! This is not so much a piece where we need to write a great deal – basically, go follow her on…

Hip hop has found itself in a funny place lately. Everyone’s broke. There’s been a pandemic. Energy bills are out of control. Prices are going up. It’s difficult to listen to someone talk about how many millions they’ve got hanging off their wrist. It’s tough to stomach listening to someone complain about how lonely they…

Have you heard of Michael Rault? Well, there’s a good chance he released the finest LP of 2022, if you’re into perfect pop that’s cut with all good things like West Coast 70s music, Paul McCartney’s Wings, ELO (aka Beatles: The Musical), Harry Nilsson etc. If you need more modern recommendations, then file Michael Rault…

What’s the deal here? A music blog, being launched in a time when blogging is absolutely dead, especially trying to cover music? What’s the point in that? Well, call it a labour of love.

NEW LILY ALLEN LP
Never mind the podcasts and tabloid stuff – we’re a music blog and we’re focusing on that, thank you very much. And the news is that Lily Allen has announced that she’s releasing a new album after some years away from the scene. The new record will be her fifth and called ‘West End Girl’…

NEW COURTNEY BARNETT
Courtney Barnett is great and, more importantly, she’s back with her first new single in a couple of years, with a song called ‘Stay In Your Lane’. As ever, there’s tension and discordant stuff to couple with the strong melodies, and apparently, Barnett recorded the track in a bid to work through the trials of bottling…

NEW ROSALIA ALBUM SOON
Rosalia’s last couple of albums have been excellent, and ‘MOTOMAMI’ just about propelled her into superstardom, so all eyes are on the next release, right? It’s either no pressure or loads of pressure! Well, the news is that there’s going to be a new record called ‘LUX’, and no-one has to wait too long, as…
