Ash have shared a “long lost” song, ‘Bittersweet Blue’, which they say was “30 years in the making”. Listen below. The track was originally written before the Northern Irish trio recorded their seminal 1996 debut album, ‘1977’, which is being reissued to mark its 30th anniversary. They subsequently performed it live while supporting Therapy? in 1995, before committing it to tape in early ’96. ‘Bittersweet Blue’ was becoming a beloved song among the band, though frontman Tim Wheeler improvised the lyrics on stage due to it remaining unfinished. Now, three decades on, ‘Bittersweet Blue’ has finally been completed. Fans can…
Tove Lo has spoken to NME about her upcoming sixth album ’Estrus’, as well as being inspired by Robyn and Lykke Li, her journey from depression through therapy, and the legacy of smash hit single ‘Habits (Stay High)’. Previewed by singles ‘I’m Your Girl Right?’, ‘DNH’, and Stromae collaboration ‘Des Fleurs’, ‘Estrus’ marks Tove Lo’s first solo record in four years – the longest break she’s ever taken between studio albums, thanks to a period of writer’s block following her 2024 collaborative project with SG Lewis, ‘Heat’. “After that, I felt kind of creatively satisfied for a while,” Tove Lo…

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…
