WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Keanu Reeves is everyone’s non-problematic fave and generally seems like a good dude. Great face too, if we’re still objectifying people in 2023. You can imagine he’s got a half decent and very sizeable record collection, right? His house is probably dead nice. And we’re only mentioning Wyld Stallyns now to say that we won’t…

We’re not bothering with anything like here, don’t worry. Everything you read today is just a normal story. However, that said, now we’ve drawn attention to it you might think we’ve completely made up our imminent Keanu Reeves piece up, when we haven’t. He’s just that nice.

She’s a DJ, she’s a producer – Jayda G is bring good and hypnotic vibes to make your feet move around wildly and, luckily enough, there’s a new tune out called ‘Blue Lights’ which is really good. There’s a new LP due too, called ‘Guy’, and that’ll be on Ninja Tune, which is a name…

It’s difficult trying to avoid being cancelled when someone keeps getting their breasts out and we, responsible music critics must pretend we haven’t seen the aforementioned breasts. Even if we have noticed the breasts, then we must underline how people should be able to free their breasts for whatever reason they like, because the people…

If you’ve not heard of Immaterial Possession, they’re an odd bunch. That’s a good thing, before you start any of that nonsense. They’ve got a new tune out called ‘Mercy of the Crane Folk’. What’s that about you ask? Well, it’s a song that is apparently a tale about a needy ghost that never gets…

03 Greedo has served 5 years in prison and is out on parole and, out of the gate, he’s not messing around. He’s got a new track out called ‘Buss Me A Script’ which features Maxo Kream and it is haaaaaaaarrrrrrrd. There’s a new LP in offing too (might be a mixtape, might not be…
-
Ed Sheeran has said that he doesn’t see the point in music critics. You might think that this is going to provoke some kind of butt-hurt response from us, given that this is a place for music criticism. Well, largely, there’s a point to this notion, given that people have Spotify and YouTube now, so…

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…

NEW PALE BLUE EYES FOR THE ’80S INDIE FAN IN YOU
Pale Blue Eyes have a new song out and, if you’ve not heard of them before (that’s okay – no judgement here) and you’ve been moaning about how no-one sounds as good as what you’ve misremembered as your youth in the 1980s, you’re in luck. See, the group’s new song ‘Take Me Over’ sounds a bit…

ANOHNI + THE JOHNSONS NEW ONE IS FANTASTIC
ANOHNI and the Johnsons have a new track out and it’s a soulful, brooding gem. There’s a new LP due to called ‘My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross’, with the lead single called ‘It Must Change’. The artist says: “Some of these songs respond from the present day to global and environmental…

VILLAGE PEOPLE TURN ON TRUMP
Donald Trump’s use of ‘YMCA’ (and to a lesser degree, ‘Macho Man’) by the Village People has been a curious thing. For someone who is, and represents everything virulently homophobic and a whole other bunch of phobics in the US, it’s particularly strange that he’d plump for a song that is not only very camp,…

GIRL RAY NEW SONG SHOULD EXCITE YOU FOR THEIR LP, HONESTLY
Girl Ray are getting a lot of hype lately and sincerely, it’s richly deserved as they’ve been making great music for a while now, and the new stuff sounds like the best stuff they’ve done to date. Great stuff indeed. They have a new LP out in August called ‘Prestige’ and the latest track is…
