WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
If you love your trap to be cut with a little sugar, then you’re probably already a fan of Rico Nasty’s work. Her new LP is due and goes by the name of ‘Lethal’, and this is the first track from it, ‘On The Low’. Interestingly, this album will be released on the Fueled By…
-
The story of Duffy’s sudden absence from music is one of the most heartbreaking stories in pop. For those who missed the news, she opened up about a tremendously upsetting ordeal, where she spoke about being kidnapped, held hostage, being drugged and raped. Duffy had retreated from the world of music to rightly recover and…

Day-glo, Looney Toons hip hop, has a special place in everyone’s heart. Only the coldest cynic would fail to break into a huge smile when Skee-Lo’s ‘I Wish’ pumps out of some speakers. That’s where Will Smith lived, with his perennial good time hits like ‘Summertime’, ‘Boom! Shake The Room!’, ‘Miami’ and all. While rap…
-
Get ready for a whole new generation of kids to learn that Phil Spector is a bad character! That’s because, there’s been a long rumoured biopic about Ronnie Spector in the works, and now we know it’s a thing! It’ll be made by A24 (that’s promising, for starters) and Ronnie herself will be played by…
-
With a band name like The Horrors, perhaps it is all a bit much to expect too much cheer on one of their records. With this being 2025, and their first LP arriving in 2007, it seems, The Horrors persist. They’ve ducked and dived in the shadows of their influences for years, touching on garage…
-
Miley Cyrus has gone and announced her new album with a visual teaser. The LP will be called ‘Something Beautiful’, and it is billed as being something that is ‘hypnotic and glamorous’. It’ll be out May 30th. So what can we glean from the spurts of marketing from it? Well, it does seem to have…

Andy Shauf knows his way around a melody, and along the way, has picked up a very dedicated set of fans. He’s got a band called Foxwarren, and they have a new tuneful number out called ‘LISTEN2ME’, and it’s great! There’s going to be a new album too, called ‘2’, which you’ll be able to…

Look, sometimes you get a press release that’s so good, and so comprehensive, that there’s little point in trying to rewrite it and pass it off as your own. With that in mind, after this opening paragraph, we’ve just cut and pasted the whole thing and you’ll get all the info you need from it.…

People who like Cass McCombs are a keen bunch, so they probably already know that there’s a new track from the man himself out. For the rest of us, he’s done a Tiny Desk show for NPR, and he included a new song in it, and we’re linking to the studio version for you to…

It really is about time that Sister Rosetta Tharpe had a biopic, seeing as she influenced an entire generation of rock ‘n’ roll artists who came after her – a real trailblazer, and more importantly, in possession of a ferocious talent. With that in mind, a biopic we will get, and playing her will be…

WEYES BLOOD X DRUGDEALER
When Drugdealer are on form, they’re irresistible. Weyes Blood is one of the finest artists on the planet right now. Add the two together? Magic. Of course, this is not the first collaboration between these two things, but this new track is a welcome return from some time out for both, and Weyes Blood is…

NEW MODERN NATURE
August 29th sees a new album from pastoral post rockers, Modern Nature, and the long player goes by the name of ‘The Heat Warps’. You can hear a track from it which is called ‘Pharaoh’, and with a kneejerk reaction granted, it sounds like a career best from the project, although they’d be loathed to…

ST ETIENNE VS CHEMICALS
Saint Etienne have always been into interesting collaborations, from teaming up with Tim Burgess for a Christmas single, to Monkey Mafia remixes and more! With their latest release, they’re doing more of the same! They have a new LP called ‘International’ and from it, you can listen to a track called ‘Glad’, which features Tom…

YAYA BEY IS ONE TO WATCH
Everything we’ve heard from the imminent Yaya Bey album has been great, so this is a further call for you to be ready for the release of ‘Do It Afraid’, which is coming out June 20th. We think it’ll be one of the R&B albums of 2025. Don’t wait for someone else to get you…
