WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

Granted, that seems like an incredibly Brexity headline, but V V Brown is back with a new track called ‘Black British’, so we’re not being massive gammons. You may remember V V’s rootsy pop from the Noughties, but it’s 2023, and she’s got something she wants to say. And this is potent stuff, where she…

There’s going to be new music from Girls Aloud (if you’re pretending you don’t like them, you can stop now – it’s not cute) and that’s been confirmed by the achingly tremendous Kimberley Walsh. This is to mark the 20th anniversary of their debut LP ‘Sound Of The Underground’. The girls have been moderately active…

Great news if you want to sit with a load of other people and watch the Eurovision Song Contest at high volume – it’s going to be broadcast in British cinemas for the first time ever. Of course, everyone was trying to get tickets for the show in Liverpool and the whole thing sold out…

If you’ve made the killer Bollywood playlist to end them all on Spotify, you may have noticed that it’s not what it once was, and that’s because there’s hundreds of Bollywood music tracks missing on the platform, which is incredibly annoying. This has happened for boring business reasons, rather than anything actively nefarious. Spotify say…

Little Richard has long been adored, but he never truly got his flowers like many of his contemporaries did. That’s about to change. And about fucking time. Director Lisa Cortés’ has made a documentary about the greatest rock ‘n’ roll singer of all time called ‘Little Richard: I Am Everything’, which not only looks at…

Cameron Crowe – you know him from the brilliant but don’t think too hard about it or it ends up feeling a bit problematic Almost Famous – is apparently doing a movie about Joni Mitchell. Now, Joni is the realest of the real, so this feels long overdue, however, movies about musicians are often not…

And that’s a good thing. Don’t worry about it.

Mega Bog. That’s a mad band name isn’t it? They’re a band on Mexican Summer and largely speaking, that’s a record label you can trust. Well, Mega Bog have a new track out called ‘Love Is’ and it’s a tremendous, neon, shimmery thing that you’ll like. Erin Birgy from the band says of Westerman’s appearance…

Don’t do it. It’s lame and lazy.

Fans of drinking pints and classic Electro compilations – this is a niche but perfect article for you! For the 40th anniversary of the legendary comps, there’s some special beer being brewed, and boy, the whole thing is handsome and great. The beer is made by Deviant & Dandy who are an independent brewery producing…

AI MUSIC CREATORS ARE DEFFO GETTING SUED SOON
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 –…

NABIHAH IQBAL HAS A GEM IN ‘DREAMER’
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…

FUN PUNK IS BACK WITH THE LINDA LINDAS
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…

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. Whether these rumours were true are worth nothing…
