What does one do when they reach the apex of commerciality as an artist? For Steve Lacy, this career high arrived via 2022’s ‘Bad Habit’, an earnest, self-reflexive dirge bathed in incessant yearns for hindsight from his acclaimed second album ‘Gemini Rights’. Peaking at Number One on the Billboard Hot 100, the song morphed a stable, cult career – one coloured by his individual works with the likes of Ravyn Lenae and Thundercat, and as part of the prolific, blog-era breakout collective The Internet. It seems, then, that Lacy’s answer to his mainstream breakthrough is his latest album ‘Oh Yeah?’,…
Mick Jagger has a balanced view on the use of artificial intelligence in music. The Rolling Stones singer spoke about it in an interview with the American edition of Billboard explaining that he is not prejudiced against AI as long as it is used in an original and creative way.«Obviously» says Jagger «I don't want to be imitated by artificial intelligence, neither vocally nor instrumentally, and the same goes for the band. I don't want people to just put out stuff that sounds exactly like the Rolling Stones, of course that's wrong. But if someone wants to make music with…

To exist in a Gracie Abrams song is to be wrapped up in a certain level of melodrama and yearning. Big, crushing feelings have become part of her calling card, delivered in a featherlight voice that reinforces the sense that, any second, the whole world could come crumbling down around her. It’s unsurprising, then, that for the title of her third album, she goes to extremes again. ‘Daughter From Hell’ sounds like a record that will be marked by rebellion and angst – and lots of it – but you’ll have to dig deep for much of the former. Instead,…
vote7.0 Streaming not yet available. The Heretic Cult Redeemer, an Athenian quartet formed in 2009 and author of an enveloping and lysergic black metal (much appreciated in 2023 thanks to the third full-length “Flagellum Universalis”), reappear on the scene with a new psychedelic-tinged journey into the chaotic vortex of the unconscious.As usual, in recent years it cannot be said that great things have happened in the universe of our band, also given their choice not to perform live, but everything that was missing on a facade level has fortunately occurred behind the scenes, with an album capable of cementing their…

The message is not only in the copy, but also and above all in the onomatopoeic comment and in the hashtags. Yesterday Robert Smith of the Cure made a post (or rather two, we'll get there) on the halftime show that for the first time will enliven the halftime of the World Cup final, when on Sunday (at 9pm Italian time) Spain and Argentina will face each other at the MetLife stadium in New York. There will be an opening ceremony, in which Laura Pausini will also participate, among others, and the announced halftime show curated by Chris Martin of…

Ah, the long-awaited album; an increasingly rare pleasure. In order to stay visible amid the relentless digi-noise of 2026, musicians today prefer to drip-feed fans a constant stream of new music rather than keep them tentatively waiting. The days of Guns ‘N’ Roses spending a decade tinkering with ‘Chinese Democracy’ are broadly a thing of the past, and in the process, a welcome bit of mystery has been lost from music culture. Waiting and speculating is fun; think of it as a variation of the friction-maxxing trend. Loathe have offered us a tantalising glimpse of this rapidly receding age in…
