WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Rochelle Jordan started out way back when, making great but somewhat typical R&B. It was all hot boxes and day ones tackle – however, she burrowed away and emerged with a truly sensational LP called ‘Play With Them Changes’. While most of R&B is concerned with being exactly the type of hot stuff that could…

Pretty exciting news for fans of Cosmic American music and Gram Parsons – there’s some new music on the horizon! It’s not often you get to say something like that – good news indeed! So what’s the craic? Well, if you’re not in the mood for reading, you can just press play on the video…

There’s a brilliant Instagram account by Steve Birnbaum which sees him tracking down the locations of music photos from the past – Nirvana, Madonna, Basquiat, Biggie, Grateful Dead, June & Johnny, Prince, Amy… so many iconic photos that we’ve seen before – but what of the location right now? If you prefer, you can ignore…

Sometimes, someone says something and your brain starts racing. It doesn’t matter if they’re talking a load of cobblers or not, you’ve already internally fired off down seventeen different tangents, and circled around the drain six more times, hoping that someone more diligent will make a documentary about it, or a long-form reader, because this…

Anatolian funk, Turkish psych, whatever you want to call it, has been a super hip and rich seam for record nerds and beat diggers for a little while now, so it was only a matter of time before someone actually Turkish wrestled their music back from the hobbyists and made it for themselves again in…

It’s remarkable, that for a band as well documented as The Beatles, that there’s any surprises left. Yet, there we were with our jaws on the floor watching Peter Jackson’s ‘Get Back’, while Paul McCartney chipped away at a notion until it became the centrepiece of the whole film. Never mind the rooftop gig (great…

The wonderful thing about ageing is the acknowledgment of the relentless passing of time. Your knees start hurting. Your sleep is disturbed because you need to get up in the middle of the night to pee. You can end up in a full body brace because your sock was folded slightly oddly in your shoe,…

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…

GILLA BAND / NEW LP, NEW SONG
Gilla Band used to be Girl Band, but changed their name. We’ll be able to stop saying that soon, as they’ll have a new album out and we can all move on. This new record is called ‘Pugnello’ and if you’re not fussed with more writing and want the tunes, scroll to the bottom for…

KELELA VS PINK PANTHERESS
Like everyone else, we’re completely in love with Pink Pantheress and everything she does, so the news that she’s collaborating with Kelela is fantastic news, right? They might feel like two artists with opposing sensibilities, but they share a lot of common ground. This new track is called ‘The Bridge’ and is from Kelela’s new…

BIITA HOUDEI DEBUT NEWS
We’ve featured Biita Houdei before, and now we get to tell you about her debut album which is coming out in September, and there’s a small UK tour to accompany it too, for fans of sunshine acid-folk. The album goes by the name of ‘This Bed Was Made For Me’ and we get to hear…

JORJA SMITH NEW LP ON THE WAY
Jorja Smith knows how to put a banger out, so it is fun news that she’s announced a new record which will be called ‘What Are The Odds?’, and you’ll be able to hear that next month, specifically on August 21st. She’s collabing with producer P2J and there’ll be features from Devlin and WizKid too. “This…
