Released on the tails of her global hit, "Envolver", Versions of Me is her first album on a foreign label and her ultimate endeavour toward global domination. The release itself is an unprecedented feat for the 29-year old Rio-born artist, even if it falls short in selling Anitta at her…
Fred Armisen is positively giddy when he tells me about his joy at being in the United Kingdom. The prolific comedian, actor and musician is coming to the end of a two-month stretch over here, filming the new season of Documentary Now!, the show he created with fellow Saturday Night…
Once a discouraged, subterranean thing, women’s anger has finally gone mainstream after centuries of censorship. It’s been a beautiful, painful, and inspiring thing to witness. With her third album, for you who are the wronged, Kathryn Joseph lets the rage she carries flow through the heart of its coded…

Ten years on, that same principle bears some pretty heavenly fruit with Emotional Eternal, a more grounded and complete record than what has come before. Only…

Now three tracks into their musical foray, Wynona have firmly stamped their sound as one of authenticity, relevance, and nostalgic maturity. Tackling relationships from a refreshingly honest perspective, “Say You Love Me” lies in much the same vein as previous singles “Real World” and “Get Back To Myself,” which focussed…
Not so different as to be unrecognisable however. Never Let Me Go is the band's eighth studio album, and whilst frontman Brian Molko's idiosyncratic vocal is welcomingly recognisable, the rest of the record offers up a refreshingly new take on their tried and tested brand of alt-rock. And well it…
Treading the well-travelled path to London out of the Oxford music scene (in the footsteps of Oxford scene staples like Foals and Glass Animals, to name but a couple), Artemas has been nurturing his sound carefully across the few singles out so far. With calling cards including the kind of…
