WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

Take these things with a pinch of salt, but it seems like there’s been a leak of The Beatles 2025 mix of ‘Free As A Bird’. It appeared on Instagram, promptly vanished, but not before some people grabbed it and uploaded it to YouTube. If this is the real deal, then predictably, John Lennon’s vocal…

We’re really excited about the imminent LP from Tchotchke. Not only was their last album one of our all-time favourites, the new stuff sounds just as brilliant! They’re an absolute marvel live, so we’re hoping they’ll be doing shows this side of the pond, and that we’ll be able to land the vinyl of the…

Eagle eyed Beatle fans had noticed that, on Spotify, ‘Free As A Bird’ suddenly had the addition of ‘(1995 Mix)’, which got everyone muttering. This obviously meant that there was going to be an updated mix, presumably employing the improved sound separation technology we saw with the ‘Now And Then’ single. seems to be hinting…

‘Baybee’ by Jay Som is a favourite at ThePopCorps, and so we’ve always kept an eye out for new music. Luckily for us, there’s the first new album in 6 years coming our way! And things are a smidge different this time ’round. October will see the release of ‘Belong’, but for now, we’ve got…

You know something? It’s really great to hear someone yell their head off on a rap track. It’s all been a bit xannied out for a while, or sad-boi, lonely-at-the-top ‘tune, and it’s little wonder people have been gravitating toward a bit of personality and spark. And so, to Sudan Archives’ new one, ‘Ms Pac…

It must be horrible when people ask you what your songs mean, and so to Jack Cooper’s Modern Nature who have a new song out called ‘Alpenglow’. Apparently, according to Cooper, the track is named after “an optical phenomenon and the name given to the colours around a setting sun. It ties in with the…

Do you like dancing? Do you like pure, joyful things? Do you like a familiar sample, given a fresh twist? You’re going to love this new track from Bakar. Do not hesitate on pressing play on this.

What is MGK, or Machine Gun Kelly, if you prefer. To most, he’s that tattooed guy in the gossip columns who says things like he’s ‘part alien’, and seemed to be in a relationship with Megan Fox that screamed ‘we saw you across the room, liked your vibe, and would you like to come back…

When people acting in bad faith start complaining about pop going woke, it’s funny to think about how political pop used to be and just how much politicians hated people who spoke out about them. John Lennon and Yoko Ono had a literal FBI file on them and Elvis snitched to Nixon about the pair,…

Kaytranada is great – everyone knows that. So it is great news that there’s new music to sink our teeth into, right? Well, there’s going to be a new LP called ‘Aint No Damn Way!’ on Friday! That’s tomorrow! Surprise! To whet the appetite, here’s the boogie neon gem ‘Space Invader’ to listen to. A…

BEREAL, BUT WITH SPOTIFY
It might be a bit of a stereotype to presume that vinyl-loving readers of these pages might see their toes curl up at the notion of any social media platform that requires you to take a photo of yourself, but y’know. Anyway, assuming that we might actually have some readers under the age of 35,…

GAYANCE + JARREAU VANDAL IS ACE
We fizzed with excitement about the Gayance LP, and we’re doing it all over again as she’s teamed up with Jarreau Vandal for an absolute bop. The track is called ‘No More’ and the track is out right now – but if you want to hear it first, then keep scrolling because obviously we’ve embedded…

VENGABOYS VERSUS A DIRTY DOLPHIN
Dolphins are proper dirty fuckers, and with that opening gambit in mind, the Vengaboys have something to tell you. Robin Pors, a Venga himself, said that a dirty dolphin assaulted him. Like that – it wasn’t a mugging. He brushed the whole thing off as a ‘compliment’, because when you’re a Vengaboy, you are irresistible…

SBTRKT X SAMPHA AGAIN
Remember when SBTRKT’s album came out and everyone went wild? That was fun. Well, one of the reasons was the emergence of Sampha on the LP, and on the next SBTRKT long-player, he’ll be back! They’ve reunited for the latest single off the upcoming ‘The Rat Road’, alongside George Riley, and honestly, it rollicks along…
