After singer Alex Trimble fell ill Two Door Cinema Club had to bow out of this weekends Latitude Festival earlier today. Not to worry though, festival organisers moved quickly to arrange what they thought was a suitable replacement – with none other than pop superstar and voice of our times Lily Allen. It’s a shame, […]
Part three of my round up of the new singles available for digital download this week. Lucy Spraggan – ‘Lighthouse’ She dropped out of the X Factor due to illness but, like many of the other competitors, this hasn’t stopped her from releasing a song onto the chart. Her first single proper, after her last […]
A new month always brings a host of great new albums to look forward to, and May is no different. Last month saw big new releases from Damon Albarn, Pixies, Eels and Nas, amongst others, and May is looking even better. Below I’ve listed all of the albums worth getting excited about this month – […]
Finally, the album is here and we can put all those silly controversies about racism, sexism etc… behind us! Lily Allen certainly knows how to get people talking about her…. The wittily/desperately titled Sheezus is Allen’s first album since 2009’s It’s Not Me, It’s You and features the previously released, and mostly controversy-sparking, singles ‘Hard […]
Lily Allen’s back with the latest single taken from her upcoming Sheezus album. Called ‘Our Time’, the single is the third from the album – following ‘Hard Out Here‘ and ‘Air Balloon‘. Feeling a little like ‘Air Balloon’ part two, it lacks enough of a differing sound to really differentiate itself from her pretty recent […]
For all its controversial lyrics and radio unfriendliness, it’s difficult to deny the catchiness of her previous single ‘Hard Out Here’. In contrast ‘Air Balloon’ starts off well with its hand-club beat and kiddy-sound but descends into a poor, poppy number with a chorus that isn’t as catchy or as great as it thinks it should be; it just feels like it’s missing something and trying too hard. {rating}
Lily Allen has premiered the official music video for her latest single “Trigger Bang“. The singer uploaded the music video on her YouTube channel on Wednesday. Myles Whittingham directed this video for Lily who seems to love pink. “Trigger Bang” feels like her classic “22” and “Smile” videos. It’s got that nostalgic feel about it with […]
Lily Allen is back with a surprise. The surprise is the timing as she had announced to make a comeback on Friday. The single she released to mark her comeback is titled “Trigger Bang” featuring Giggs. It’s the official single from Lily’s fourth album, which will come out early next year. It’s titled “The Fourth […]
First things first: Happy New Year! Now that’s out the way, let’s get stuck into the serious business of looking forward to what 2014 has in store for us all. After a pretty impressive 2013 for big albums – Bowie, My Bloody Valentine, Daft Punk, Jay Z, Kanye, Arctic Monkeys, Arcade Fire, Beyonce to name […]
My round up of the new singles available for digital download this week. Afrojack feat. Spree Wilson – ‘The Spark’ First on the list this week is a lyrically uplifting track with a positive message, though one that is wrapped up in a typical sounding 2013 dance rnb track. That said the ‘Gym Class Heroes’-esque […]
