Today drops ‘Hyperdrama’, the new album by French electro duo Justice – their first record in more than seven years. Having listened to some of it, it’s a welcome return to form, with some live-tailored hooks that show the band have still got it, even if the album's hit and miss moments of downsized French house may disappoint earlier fans of Justice and the heavier beats present on their best album – 2007's ‘Cross’. Still, it sounds like their strongest work since their debut, and the eagerly anticipated comeback of Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay signals that despite the retirement of Daft...

Taylor Swift has released her new album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department’, which dropped at midnight - followed by a “surprise double album” two hours later. For the sake of sanity, our writer David Mouriquand, a proud but occasionally tortured Swiftie, is keeping it to the original 16 tracks of 'TTPD'. Here’s his take. "An uneven but entrancing post-mortem on love and its pitfalls"Time has no meaning and journalistic outlets should just bite the bullet at this point and revamp themselves as “What has Taylor Swift been up to today?”. Hardly a day goes by without an article on her relationships;...

"Were you rushing? Or were you dragging?" It really matters. The Russian republic of Chechnya is said to have ruled that all music should "correspond to a tempo of 80 to 116 beats per minute (BPM)" - meaning a lot of modern western music would be banned from being played publicly in the conservative Islamic society. The new standard of music is relatively slow compared to a lot of modern-day pop music, as well as electro, rave, dubstep and techno music – which tends to be of a higher BPM. Most pop songs range from 100 to 130 BPM, a tempo commonly used to create catchy and danceable rhythm. For...

Yeehaw... Saddle up, cowboys and cowgirls... Dust off your Stetsons... *Insert country cliché of choice here* Beyoncé is back tomorrow with her new album, ‘Act II: Cowboy Carter’, which will see Queen Bey paying homage to her Texan roots and embracing the country music style for another artistic reinvention of sorts, following her 2022 album ‘ Renaissance ’ - which leaned heavily on club and dance music. The celebrated singer previously revealed that this was all a part of a three-part project – hence the “Act II” part of the title. Prior to tomorrow’s album drop, Bey’s devoted fanbase - known...

While we may love bellyaching about Glastonbury and how the experience of Worthy Farm’s finest is a headache at times, there’s no arguing with the sheer amount of talent they book – and today’s announcement of their 2024 alum is... Well, it’s eye wateringly good. Last year’s pale, male and stale headliners – Arctic Monkeys, Guns ‘N’ Roses and Elton John – left much to be desired, and even sparked conversation over how the UK’s biggest festival’s co-organiser Emily Eavis had a serious issue when it came to booking top female acts. However, this year has not only rebalanced the scales, but offer...

From the start, the case was highly unusual: a criminal prosecution centred on the disputed ownership of a cache of hand-drafted lyrics to 'Hotel California' and other Eagles hits. Its end was even more unexpected. In the middle of trial, New York prosecutors abruptly dropped their case against three collectibles experts who had been accused of scheming to hang onto and peddle the pages, which Eagles co-founder Don Henley maintained were stolen. The decision came on Wednesday 6 March 6 amid revelations of new evidence that raised doubts about the fairness of the trial. From Lana Del Rey to Kan...
