WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Cami Layé Okún is one of the finest and funnest DJs around right now. Playing music from Cuba (and elsewhere, but you need a hook, right?) she’s all about that rhythm and sunshine melody! This is not so much a piece where we need to write a great deal – basically, go follow her on…

Hip hop has found itself in a funny place lately. Everyone’s broke. There’s been a pandemic. Energy bills are out of control. Prices are going up. It’s difficult to listen to someone talk about how many millions they’ve got hanging off their wrist. It’s tough to stomach listening to someone complain about how lonely they…

Have you heard of Michael Rault?

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…

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…
