Dominique Fils-Aimé’s latest release isn’t a greatest hits compilation or a standard live album. Live at the Montréal International Jazz Festival 2024 is a radical transformation—a fearless reimagining of her past work that feels more like a reinvention than a revisit. This isn’t a singer retracing her steps; it’s a seasoned artist drawing a new […]

Kylie at BST Hyde Park 2024, London (Review)
Kylie’s Hyde Park show was a stunning reminder that she’s far from being a nostalgia act. Just a few years ago, it seemed she might be winding down her career with greatest hits albums, and a Glastonbury Legends slot, but her performance at Hyde Park proved otherwise. Emerging in an electric-red vinyl catsuit, she brought […]

Nadine Shah at New Century, Manchester (Review)
Filthy Underneath is the latest offering from Nadine Shah and her most personal record yet.

Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties – In Lieu of Flowers (Review)
In Lieu of Flowers, the third studio album from Aaron West and The Roaring Twenties, adds another chapter to West’s ongoing saga. AW20’s previous two studio albums and EP took a personal approach to how West grappled with grief, loss, and divorce. What makes this group unique is that Aaron West is completely made up. He’s […]
Taking Back Sunday at O2 Forum Kentish Town, London (Review & Photos)
Counting Taking Back Sunday amongst the recent throwback revival of early 2000s rock is perhaps more complex than it first appears. The New York quartet are the sort of band that never entirely left the consciousness. Unlike their contemporaries, their last new music wasn’t 10 to 15 years ago, having continually but perhaps sporadically put out new […]
Ariana Grande – Eternal Sunshine (Review)
Ariana Grande’s Eternal Sunshine puts the singer on a new plane and delivers her to a place she has never been before. It is strikingly more mellow than any of her previous albums, and there is a noticeable lack of strain that had been present in the past. This “strain” does not speak for her vocals, which […]
