WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
We’ve featured Dora Morelenbaum on these pages before so we’re excited to share that she has her debut LP coming out soon! With a mix of bossa, samba and psych, Dora’s music has showcased her to be one of the most exciting new Brazilian artists in the scene. The new album is called ‘Pique’ and

Outside of Japan and Korea, everything is a little bit Solo Artist, so it’s lovely to see the flame of girl groups still being carried by FLO who have been doing good bits for a while now with their brand of R&B infused pop music. They recently shared their new track ‘Check’ which they have
-
We appreciate that some people like it when rock and rap mix. There’s no accounting for taste and all that, but the nadir of the late ’90s and early ’00s when Woodstock went from a peace and love festival and turned into an awful frat house party filled with rap-rock groups shows just how dismal
-
Britney Spears has, shall we say, had a very full life. It hasn’t all been peaches and cream, which means news that her life will be getting the biopic treatment is tentatively good news. We say it tentatively because not all biopics are good, but we are 100% rooting for this one because we think
-
It all felt somewhat inevitable that young people would look at the streaming model and wonder why they didn’t have anything to show for their money. Obviously, the convenience of having most of the world’s music in your pocket is a miracle of a thing, but when you look around your room or your house

Look, the rap musical Hamilton was awful. You don’t need to point out how successful it has been, how Lin Manuel Miranda is probably a nice guy, or even how much you liked it – it stunk. One dimensional rapping over old-head beats performed by a cast portraying a bunch of racist white dudes who

We were reading about tg.blk over at another site and liked what we heard. Instead of hoarding this information to ourselves, we thought we would share it here, because that’s what good people do. Seriously – stop hoarding music to yourself – nobody wins when you do that. tg.blk have a new six track EP

Doechii has called herself a number of things over the years – the one we like best is “the trap Grace Jones” – and if that’s piqued your interest, shall we get onto the lovely business of a new record to listen to? She’s got a new one out called ‘Nissan Altima’, which to the
-
It is kinda funny that Charli XCX announced BRAT SUMMER when Confidence Man have been acting up for ages now, sneering and partying like the world might end tomorrow. With that, they’ve got a new song out called ‘SO WHAT’ which is the usual mixture of pouting and hedonism which is difficult to pull off
-
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.
STOP HOARDING TUNES

MIX / TOMOKI TAMURA
We’re not trying to be That Guy by getting excited about a DJ playing vinyl and mixing manually, but it is a treat when someone does a cool set the old way. There’s nothing wrong with the USB stick crew, but allow us to feel nostalgic. With that, we just finished listening to a brilliant,…

KACEY GOES ROOTSY
We’re forever rooting for Kacey Musgraves as she’s just about the freshest voice in country music at the moment, and seemingly is unafraid to march to the sound of her own drum, where a lot of other country musicians bind themselves with musical conservatism. Well, Kacey has signed to Lost Highway Records which has relaunched,…

FREE RANGE / MAY 2025
We have been incredibly lazy when it comes to reminding ourselves to share the tracklisting from the FREE RANGE radio show. We plain forgot that it was a piece of admin we used to do, until we were reminded by a listener. So with that, here’s the latest show for May 2025, featuring a lot…

JORJA SMITH WITH A MASSIVE BANGER
Jorja Smith has committed herself, it seems, to do whatever the hell she wants, and we’re absolutely strapped in for the ride. From dreamy R&B, to killer UK Garage appearances, and now, absolutely filthy bassline music. To get you up for the weekend, here’s her new track ‘The Way I Love You’, which will punch…
