WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

He’s from NYC and you can tell – rapper Gabe ‘Nandez has a new track out that sounds fresh and modern but also has a nod to early Noughties rap. Think Clipse and Neptunes produced bangers and you’re in the right ballpark. If you’re into Chingy too, get on it. In short, it’s a whole

We told you there’d be a gig for Prince Charles‘ transformation into King Charles III Rex or whatever he’s called now. We predicted that Jess Glynne would be asked because, well, just listen to her. Well, we’ve had some confirmations. Let us go through them in list form, and then write down what we think

The legendary jazz pianist Ahmad Jamal has left us, confirmed by his wife. Maybe not a household name, but every inch a legend. His playing was warm but minimal, a spiritual link between the cool jazz and bop eras of the genre. A titan in jazz, and hugely influential on his peers and those that followed. The

We wrote a thing saying that there was trouble afoot with AI music, regarding the music industry. We figured there’d be some legal issues with the copying of valuable assets, but we figured it would take a while for the bizz to get their ducks in a row. However, less than 24 hours after we

As everyone has a laugh mucking around with AI and asking it daft questions, the comfortingly humourless record companies of the world are almost certainly readying their lawyers. Why? Well, if you can’t be arsed waiting for your fave band to get back together, you can get the robots to do it. First off –

There’s a sense that all the best new music coming out in 2023 is blessed with an ethereal sense of finally getting outside. Be it chugger daytime dancers, or dreamy psychedelic music, there’s a feeling of finally touching some grass after being stuck inside and nervous for too long. So with that, we go to

Sure, it might be lazy turning something of a full article out about a single track because it’s new, but seeing as everyone on social media has forgotten how to do tip-offs about the new music they like in favour of hoarding it to themselves so they can unveil it at the end of the

We’d sorta forgotten Jorja Smith existed honestly, but she’s been off Stateside doing bits, and sadly for her the excitement and promise of her intial releases were pretty much quashed by rumours of getting off with Drake and being the person Stormzy cheated on Maya Jama with. Whether these rumours were true are worth nothing

You can be mildly irritated by things. Not everything has to be full blown hot take, does it? And the fact is, while Harry Styles seems like a decent enough fella, he’s mildly irritating us. A couple of really good pop songs and all that, the press run for ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ just made us

TRY ME, SAYS JORJA SMITH
We’d sorta forgotten Jorja Smith existed honestly, but she’s been off Stateside doing bits, and sadly for her the excitement and promise of her intial releases were pretty much quashed by rumours of getting off with Drake and being the person Stormzy cheated on Maya Jama with.

HARRY STYLES, LITTLE MERMAID, IT’S ALL MILDLY IRRITATING
You can be mildly irritated by things. Not everything has to be full blown hot take, does it? And the fact is, while Harry Styles seems like a decent enough fella, he’s mildly irritating us. A couple of really good pop songs and all that, the press run for ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ just made us…
