WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE

After a well advised name-change, The Blessed Madonna has a new track out and it sounds like a weekend banger to us. It is called ‘Godspeed’ and features DJ E-Clyps. Very nice. The Blessed Madonna will be releasing her first full length LP and that’ll drop in October so we’ve a while to wait yet.…

Y’know, it is nice to hear someone who has been there and done it, say that they’re not bothered by a lot of the trappings that comes with being a big ticket road dog. Chrissie Hynde and her Pretenders have forged a very successful career for decades now, so it’s not like she doesn’t know…

‘Aminalympics’ is a cult favourite among many, and is a 1980 feature length animation that was blighted by America’s then-political situation, made by a TV powerhouse, voiced by superstars, soundtracked by pop royalty, produced by someone who would go on to make a gigantic Hollywood blockbuster, and sadly, not the famous and classic cartoon it…

![BILLIE EILISH VS CHARLI XCX [TRAFFIC BAIT]](https://thepopcorps.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/good2520ones2520video2520still2520photo2520credit2520terrence2520o27connor.jpeg?w=1024)
Billie Eilish and Charli XCX have joined forces on a song. It is part of a deluxe version of the ‘BRAT’ album, which all the popstars are doing at the moment to bump up the streams and sales. It’s canny marketing, but you wonder if fans will cool on buying albums when they come out…

There’s a film due out in September which surrounds Blur’s Wembley foray, which honestly, looks like a real nice time. It’s basically nice to see the gang back together and Damon and Graham being pals again. There’s a clip of their performance of ‘Beetlebum’ you can watch, which not only shows the magnitude of the…

We promised we’d share the new video from The Junipers when we had it, and here it is! It’s a wonderful nugget of sunshine super pop, with hooky organ and dreamy psychedelia. If you’re into popsike, Emitt Rhodes and all that good stuff, you’ll love The Junipers already no doubt. In case you’re new here,…

We’ve featured Lael Neale before and like her music a lot. It’s a kinda Velvetsy, kinda singer-songwritery music that is varied and sure footed and really turns our dials! ‘Electricity’ is the name of her new single and it’s got a fun, charming video to accompany it, which you can watch below. Neale says, “I…

Everything is not as good as it used to be, music is worse, music journalism is doomed, the radio is bad, there’s nothing on TV, whatever happened to that good ol’ rock ‘n’ roll?, it’s all autotune, the DJs don’t even beat match, its all Tik Tok dances and blah, blah, blah, yadda, yadda, yadda,…

Ranking things is such a pointless and ugly endeavour. However, it is not beneath us to be either of those things in a futile bid to create some false engagement while people disagree or agree with you. With that, we’re not going to rank every Tiny Desk concert from the lovely folks at NPR, because…

You already know how amazing The Junipers are, and that they’re just about the most perfect sunshine pop band in the entire universe. The last single was a beautiful, hopeful return to form and we’re genuinely thrilled to learn that there’s even more to come and we won’t have long to wait to hear it!…

REVIEW / ROCHELLE JORDAN /THROUGH THE WALL
House music is, for the most part, all about the hypnotic swing and MDMA enhancing repetitiveness, maybe with a little vocal hook to keep you singing along. Sometimes however, when House is given the due care and attention it deserves, it can sound like the most expensive thing in the world, with luxurious, modern production,…

REDVEIL NEW ONE IS GREAT
The trap sound has, regrettably, started sounding a bit old hat, leaving young rappers looking elsewhere for inspo. And so, to Redveil, who has a new one out which is a swirly, classic soul sampling track which reminds us of cool Stones Throw stuff from the early ’00s and an echo of Dilla too. A…

INFINITE COLES, GHOSTFACE, HOT SHIT
You may or may not have heard of Infinite Coles, but you’ll have heard of their dad. Coles is the child of the Wu Tang’s Ghostface Killah, and they’ve dropped new music which address the relationship between the two. Coles is gay and it seems there’s tension between the two, and mercifully for us music…

DANCE MADONNA IS COMING BACK
Madonna is returning to dance music, as it has been announced that she’s returning to Warner Records, and notably, coming at us with ‘Confessions Of A Dance Floor Part 2’, which should be out in 2026. Madonna and dance music is a marriage made in heaven, and if she’s going to help bring back French house…
