Dylan has shared her new single ‘To Love & To Lose’ after a public battle with her record label. The track, which you can listen to below, is the first to be taken from her forthcoming debut album. “This song, for me, is not about heartbreak or rage, but something quieter and more unsettling. It’s the inability to feel anything real having been through pain, grief and loss,” she said via a pres release. “Quite literally, it is the idea of trying to be with someone else whilst believing I am to blame for why I cannot feel the way…

Last spring, Beck played two massive orchestral shows at London’s Royal Albert Hall. The setlist leaned heavily on his 2002 album ‘Sea Change’, a melancholic masterpiece adorned with gorgeous orchestral arrangements. Until these shows, the chameleonic indie-pop star had never performed the album with all the trimmings and, as he explained to the audience on the first night, he was thrilled at the opportunity to realise its songs with an 85-strong team of musicians. At the time, he said that the concerts had inspired him to work in the studio with an orchestra – though stopped short of saying he…

Kelly Osbourne has explained why she has cut ties with her sister Aimée. Speaking in a new interview, the former has claimed that she felt her sister “didn’t really ever acknowledge” either her or her brother Jack while they were growing up and suggested Aimée was “embarrassed” by their family being in the spotlight. She told the We Need To Talk podcast: “She was just in her own world doing her own thing. And I do to a certain extent, if I’m honest, feel as though she was embarrassed of us.” Kelly added: “I’ll never really truly understand. It just…

Festival season is often dominated by headliner chatter. Who had an amazing turnout at Lollapalooza? Whose secret Reading set had everyone losing their minds? Who could be on the cards as a future Glasto headliner? But there’s also a lot of brilliant stuff happening several rows down the line-up poster. Investigate some of the acts in smaller fonts, and you’ll find artists who are filling up tents on Thursday nights, having pints with your favourite bands and watching their onstage jokes die a terrible death in multiple languages. This year, instead of focusing on the headliners, we asked acts from…

Lily Allen has praised her ex-husband David Harbour for his response to her recent album ‘West End Girl‘. Allen’s fifth studio album was released last October and was written and recorded in 10 days following the collapse of her marriage to the Stranger Things actor, after he allegedly cheated on her. Allen previously described the record as “a mixture of fact and fiction” that details the “complexities of relationships and how we all navigate them”, and has said it was inspired by her “deep-rooted issues with rejection and abandonment” after her divorce. She later stated that she did not view it as a “cruel” album and was not…

Like David Letterman before him Stephen Colbert honored the end of his late-night talk show by growing a beard. The former Late Show host showcased the beard during the Emmys, where his show won seven awards, but admitted last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live that his wife Evie is not a fan. “I was so excited to win because Evie hates my beard,” Colbert told Kimmel. “So much. And the kiss count has gone way down. She warned me, if you grow a beard the kiss count’s going to go way down. Smoochy time, much shorter because it’s prickly. But…

Articolo di Lorenzo Vezzosi | Foto di Luca Simonazzi LSimon: “Sai vero che prenderemo degli insulti per questa cosa?”Lorenzo: “Ma sì, dai… È divertente!”LSimon: “Cosa? Fare questa classifica o farsi insultare?”Questo è stato a grandi linee lo scambio di opinioni che ci ha portato a stilare questa non-classifica. Un gioco e una sfida, per vedere se voi che state leggendo conoscete già qualche nome fra quelli presenti in questa lista (ne sono assolutamente certo), ma anche un tentativo di raccontarvi la nuova musica che abbiamo scoperto, con tutta l’ammirazione possibile nei confronti di artisti di cui non avevamo mai ascoltato…

It’s easy to forget—especially today—that being retro can actually mean being modern. Retro styles let artists treat history like a patchwork: transmuting an homage into something new, using the past to tell stories of the present, creating today out of yesterday. Denshattack!, the new rhythmic trick-based platformer from indie developer Undercoders, reads from Y2K Sega like it’s the Bible. The game has the beaming cell-shaded graphics of Jet Set Radio, the high-octane attitude of 3D-era Sonic the Hedgehog, and the hedonistic gameplay of Crazy Taxi. But Denshattack! parlays its old scripture into a product of the now—not even cracked-out late-’90s…

Seconds into her debut mixtape, Karrahbooo steps out of the spotlight. “I don’t want to link, I stay out the way,” she explains on “Inside the Booth,” tone unphased enough to back it up. It’s a pretty diplomatic opening for an artist who has spent the past two years fighting her way off the bench. After emerging as one to watch in Lil Yachty’s Concrete Boys collective, Karrahboo cut ties with the crew amid a public label dispute that left her estranged from Yachty and unable to drop for two years. (Yachty has refuted claims that he held back her…

Poco più di un anno dopo il suicidio di Ian Curtis i musicisti dei Joy Division, che nel frattempo erano andati avanti a suonare come New Order, hanno pubblicato l’antologia Still. È una raccolta di outtake in studio e registrazioni dal vivo, tra cui l’ultimo concerto dei Joy Division. «Pensavamo che fosse tutto lì», dice oggi Stephen Morris, batterista di entrambe le band. «Era un modo per chiudere quella storia, tipo: grazie, dopo questo non ci sarà più niente. È stata un’ingenuità, perché qualcosa salta sempre fuori da qualche parte».Così è stato. Nei decenni successivi sono uscite varie compilation dei…
