WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

  • NEW RICO NASTY

    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

  • SOFTLY, DUFFY IS BACK

    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

  • REVIEW / WILL SMITH / BASED ON A TRUE STORY

    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

  • ZENDAYA TO PLAY RONNIE SPECTOR

    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

  • REVIEW / THE HORRORS / NIGHT LIFE

    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: HYPNO GLAM

    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

  • HEY ANDY SHAUF FANS!

    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

  • ALL THE YOUNG DROIDS

    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.

  • NEW CASS MCCOMBS

    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

  • LIZZO TO PLAY ROSETTA THARPE

    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

STOP HOARDING TUNES


  • ROSALIA COMING BACK WITH NEW EP

    Rosalía released one of the most brilliant (and experimental) pop albums ever cut to wax last year, and sincerely, if you’re one of the few that didn’t listen to it, remedy that when you next get the chance. ‘MOTOMAMI’ is a carnival of Spanish pop, brutal electronics, elegant and fractured rhythms, reggaeton and hard edits galore…

  • WAYNE SHORTER: TRIBUTE

    An absolute giant of jazz, Wayne Shorter, has sadly left us. He was a fair old age, which is lovely to see in a genre where too many left us way too young, but even with that said, we would like to throw praise his way. The fact is, Shorter is one of the people…

  • WE ASKED AI TO WRITE ABOUT A FAILING BAND

    The room was dark, the atmosphere heavy with disappointment and defeat. The band had played their hearts out, but something had gone wrong. Their once-promising career had come to a screeching halt, and now they were left with nothing but shattered dreams and broken spirits. The lead singer sat slumped in a chair, his head…

  • ROGER DALTRY SAYS THERE’S NO POINT IN A NEW WHO LP

    Roger Daltrey has been asked if The Who are making music for a new LP. He’s said “what’s the point?” and, honestly, where’s the lie? There’s not many fizzing with excitement at the prospect of a new album from Daltrey and Townshend, is there? No harm like. He said: “What’s the point? What’s the point…
