Loraine James didn’t have much fun making Detached From the Rest of You. She was feeling stuck, lost, painfully self-conscious. When she finished the record, she decided to name it after her alienated state: a person detached from others, a mind detached from its body. James is forthright about her struggle on the album itself: “Some days I think about quitting this whole thing/Seems like I sulk in my own shit/Oh Loraine, but where’s the passion?” she murmurs on the vignette “Seems Like I.” In interviews, too, James presents her new work as an obstacle rather than a detour, something…
Barely three minutes into ‘Redstar Wu & The Worldwide Scourge’ and Genesis Owusu has already pointed his crosshairs at Elon Musk (“a fuckin’ weirdo”), Donald Trump (a “toupee’d totalitarian”) and Kanye West, whose fans – according to opening track ‘Pirate Radio’ – are “fucking up my homeostasis”. As an opening salvo, backed by claustrophobic, juddering beats and clever references to The Prodigy’s ‘Breathe’ (“Psychosemantic, blowin’ out your brain”), it comes out swinging. But all of that barely scratches the surface of the Australian disruptor’s ambitious if slightly chaotic third studio LP. Where ARIA-winning 2021 debut ‘Smiling With No Teeth’ and…
The reunited band, with Larry Mullen Jr. back on drums, shot the video on top of a school bus in Mexico City, and the song will appear on a currently-untitled LP later this year A large crowd filled up a street in Mexico City on May 12 to watch U2 shoot a video perched on top of a school bus wrapped in graffiti by artist Chavis Mármol for their upcoming single, “Street of Dreams.” The song will appear on their next album, which is out later this year. Drummer Larry Mullen Jr. missed out on most band activity over the…
Per usare una di quelle esecrabili frasi fatte da social, i Lemon Twigs sono la band di cui non sapevamo di aver bisogno. Ma meno male che ci sono. Ogni volta che li si ascolta, ci sono due aspetti che colpiscono, al di là dell’armoniosa bellezza delle canzoni. Uno è l’improbabilità di un gruppo degli anni ’20 di questo secolo per le cui influenze si possono spendere nomi tipo, che so, Harper’s Bazaar o Turtles o Dwight Twilley o Blue Ash (aggiungere a piacere qualunque altra dimenticata chincaglieria anni ’60-’70 da gourmet del pop). L’altro è quanto siano ancora maledettamente…
Julia Louis-Dreyfus revived Selina Meyer, her beloved character from Veepto help say farewell to Stephen Colbert on The Late Show. The actress, appearing in support of her new film The Sheep Detectivesread a series of lines as Selina, much to the surprise of Colbert. “People have been coming on this show recently to sing your praises and give you gifts,” Louis-Dreyfus explained. “And you know how much I love you. I really do. I wanted to sort of add to the chorus to boost you along to whatever brilliant thing you do next. And since I know you're a huge…
If you needed more reason to be excited for the second season of The StudioBryan Cranston teased an apparently crazy scene he filmed with Madonna for the HBO show. During an interview with Access HollywoodCranston suggested that the scene is so wild that viewers will be staring in shock at the TV. “In this next season of the studio, I do something in front of Madonna,” Cranston said. “In a truth or dare test, and it's a dare. And I do something that will either raise my street cred very high or destroy my career. It's one of the two.…
The Sicilian singer-songwriter becomes essential again along the restless course of the Oreto Antonio Santini for SANREMO.FM
Mentre Vienna si prepara a lustrare il maestoso Wiener Stadthalle, già sede dell’edizione 2015, l’Eurovision Song Contest 2026 si presenta come controverso. Il traguardo della 70ª edizione mette a nudo la fragilità strutturale dell’European Broadcasting Union (Ebu): con soli 35 paesi al via, il concorso registra l’affluenza più bassa dal 2003. L’organizzazione, curata dall’emittente austriaca ORF dopo la vittoria di JJ a Basilea nel 2025, si trova a gestire un’emorragia diplomatica senza precedenti che potrebbe essere solo l’inizio di una crisi insanabile.Il calendario prevede tre appuntamenti, tutti trasmessi alle ore 21: prima semifinale martedì 12 maggio; seconda semifinale giovedì 14…
Greece, Finland, Belgium, Sweden, Moldova, Israel, Serbia, Croatia, Lithuania and Poland are the top 10 finalists of the Eurovision Song Contest 2026, the first semi-final of which took place last night in Vienna. To these countries we must add Sal Da Vinci for Italy and Sarah Engels for Germany who performed yesterday and who, being part of the so-called Big 4, directly advanced to Saturday's final without being subjected to the judgment of the public and national juries.Following the preferences of the juries and televoting, Portugal, Georgia, Montenegro, Estonia and San Marino, which was represented by Senhit and Boy George…
Every fan has a different way of describing the absolutely bonkers music that Angel Marcloid makes as Fire-Toolz. Her songs are effortlessly virtuosic and unapologetically epic, built like a web woven by a caffeinated spider, as she screeches over fidgety riffs and dazzling synth runs. Some might call it vaporwave; for others, it’s primarily black metal, or jazz fusion. Here’s my take on it: Fire-Toolz is progressive metal, an internet-brained update on bands like Queensrÿche and Dream Theater, whose albums are like novels for a certain kind of nerdy metalhead. On her Warp debut Lavender Networks, Marcloid runs with these…
