WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
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
-
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
-
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

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
-
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 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

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

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.

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
-
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

SFA GO DAS KOOLIES
Take four of the Super Furry Animals and you get Das Koolies – a psychedelic techno adventure that shows the gang are still brimming with ideas even when the main project is resting. It’s pulsating and political and ultimately, it’s a load of fun. Whenever the SFA lads are involved in something, it’s always worth…

HUEY LEWIS: COOL GUY, HASN’T SEEN AMERICAN PSYCHO
Huey Lewis is genuinely a cool guy. He’s like the ’80s John Sebastian or something. Great songs, approachable, the people’s champ! Well, his band features heavily in the lore of American Psycho, and even though the movie was released in 2000, he’s still not seen it. Neither have we. We’ve seen a lot of memes…

There’s going to be a new four-part series on terrestrial TV called ‘Britpop: The Music That Changed Britain’ so you can relive the long summers of your youth, or if you’re young, listen to your parents talk over the show by regaling you with stories about how mum threw up her ring down the side…

YOU NEED THE GAYANCE LP IN YOUR LIFE
DJ and producer Aïsha Vertus – you’ll be knowing her as Gayance from now – has been making solid gold bops for a while, but you need to get on their new LP ‘Mascarade’ ASAP. If having your hair stand on end and your limbs flail around wildly is your thing, then you can skip…
