Words by Charlotte Christie   Whether it’s Daniel Day Lewis, Don Henley or Dot Cotton; if there’s an important conversation to be had, it’ll be in the laundrette. Equally, they are places where you can sit in silence while reality is muted by spin cycles and steam. However, French born NUUXS’s new single, Laundry, tells a different story. In just under 3 minutes she captures one mother’s sacrifice, stress and thin skin. I caught up with her to chat about her new single, Shania Twain and future projects.   For those discovering NUUXS for the first time, where does the name come from ..read more

Interview: Alice D’s discusses Summer Release ‘Closer’.

Words by Charlotte Christie.  Warm nights. Listening. Laughing. Debating. Discarded bottles, sticky from wine. Heady, barefoot dancing. Strawberry-stained lips. The glimmer of dawn in the distance. All of this is underscored by one song: The Sound of Summer. These anthems capture the excitement of possibility and nostalgia for days gone by. It’s fair to say that no one is more aware of getting this balance right than Alice D. It’s in her blood: her mother is Sara Dallin, a founding member of Bananarama and co-writer of ‘Cruel Summer’, one of the greatest summer tunes of all time. Therefo ..read more

With festival season well and truly cancelled this year, organisers far and wide have been rallying to ensure music-lovers still get a taste of live entertainment.

Maya Delilah’s ‘Oh Boy’

Words By Charlotte Christie   She makes her own trousers. She plays her own guitar. She gives to charity. And she’s just released a brilliant new EP, Oh Boy. If you haven’t heard of Maya Delilah before, you will. 16 minutes of her sultry slow jam magic is just long enough to allow you to discover a sound which feels like the good witch Glinda version of Billie Eillish.   However, it’s not fair to say she’s like anyone else. This is because Oh Boy’s lead single, Tangerine Dream, discovers a different space all together. Namely, a new niche in the cross-section between R&B, pop an ..read more

Review: Havelock - Oh My Word

Words by Defne Calbay If you’re ready for the weekend and can’t wait to enjoy the sunshine, we have the perfect song for you:  British singer Havelock (whose debut EP “TRY B4U BUY” came out earlier this year) released his new single “Oh My Word” and we are absolutely loving the mixed 90’s vibes! While his previous works are more along the lines of the chill electro indie-genre, this short and sweet 2 minute tune combines an upbeat yet light hearted drum’n’bass rhythm with an oh so charming soft rapping. Havelock sings about a new love affair he’s having a blast with. Clearly, they a ..read more

Words by Charlotte Christie  Back when lockdown was a mere twinkle in BoJo’s eye, I was experiencing a mild existential crisis. I look back and can’t help but wonder: if someone had linked me to Delanila’s CV, would it have tipped me over the edge? Trust me, it’s that impressive.   As an established classical composer, Danielle Eva Schwob, has worked on projects ranging from Darren Aronofsky’s Mother! to David Attenborough documentaries. As Delanila, The New Yorker has  heralded her as a “notable cross-genre composer” and she even locked-down before ‘lockdown’ was a thing ..read more

Interview: Two Weeks in Nashville

Words by Charlotte Christie   On a white square sat the words: ‘Do not mistake my kindness for weakness’. I liked it. I scrolled on. I didn’t think about it again until I got a chance to interview Two Weeks In Nashville.   As part of an industry which has its ups and downs, it can be hard to keep positive, let alone actively positive. Similar to the Instagram Post, T.W.I.N’s bright outlook is not the easy route, but nevertheless it’s a simple statement which defies the norm. Last week, I discovered that their glass-half-full attitude is certainly as catchy as their hooks, something ..read more

Review: Notes on A Conditional Form by The 1975

Words by Charlotte Christie. Empty your mind. Imagine you are somewhere outside of your room. COVID-19 doesn’t exist and you are able to go anywhere you wish. You are now in a wood. You come across a nest. It belongs to a Magpie. It is heaving with stuff: bottle tops, strips of foil, coins. You almost miss a diamond ring tucked neatly to one side. It’s an odd experience seeing these objects entirely decontextualised and disordered. It’s hard to tell if the additions make the nest delightfully unique, or the individual items worthless. Whatever it is, it’s an experience akin to listening to No ..read more

Words by Charlotte Christie.  These days, it’s difficult to avoid Quentin Tarrantino 2020 T-shirts and thinking wouldn’t it be great if 2020 could be cancelled. This is not the case for the five piece, Full Colour. For them, 2020 has marked the beginning of something special. The West Yorkshire boys’ latest single,Times Change, prompts a nostalgia for times gone by where classic british indie reigned and infinite possibility lay ahead in the best possible way. I chatted to lead singer Conrad about leaving home, good timing and his top isolation tracks. So tell me… For those discovering F ..read more

ONLY: single review

Words by Defne Calbay. If you are looking for a track to make you feel good and get you excited for the weekend - you don’t have to look any further! On Friday, the talented singer/producer ZHU released his single ONLY in collaboration with alternative R’n’B singer Tinashe. The song has an ongoing melodic synth-sound that can be easily identified as ZHU’s typical touch. Normally focusing on a purely electronic sound, this collaboration gives ZHU the space to swift over to a more commercial side of music.  Meanwhile, Tinashe has dipped into many different styles over the years ..read more
