![]() ![]() It blends a fast-paced instrumental section with Andrew Fisher’s lyrics about slowing down and taking time to collect oneself. It opens with two overlapping guitar riffs, one of which carries some difficulty with it, but the other is a simple chord progression, but that’s kind of a metaphor for what the rest of the song is. “Basement launched their fourth studio album, Beside Myself, on Friday and it throws some wonderful tracks, none of which are as simplistically perfect as ‘Slip Away’. Her verse isn’t necessarily bad, just lyrically nonsensical and forgettable like many other Nicki features, but hopefully it provides it’s purpose of getting Little Mix onto the radio and into the spotlight.” The only part that doesn’t quite work is the featuring rap verse from Nicki Minaj, who thankfully doesn’t ruin the song, but definitely could have been left off of it. The chorus takes on a more traditional pop form, but the combination of unique elements sets the song, and Little Mix, apart from other pop girl-groups. The track starts with Jesy Nelson using her lower vocal range to sing over an island-like rhythm before bandmate Leigh-Anne Pinnock enters with a brief rap, which sounds more like sing-speaking, bringing along an slightly EDM style beat with her. ‘Woman Like Me’ sounds like no other single they’ve ever released, combining different genres and lyrical styles into one song. “Seven years into their career and Little Mix are still finding ways to reinvent themselves. It just goes to show how comfortable Dijon is hopping from genre to genre, and it maintains my excitement and anticipation for a full length project from him.” Light acoustic plucking sprinkled under Dijon’s passionate vocals take us through the first half, when suddenly a fast-paced quantized drum beat jumps in as Dijon replaces his singing with rapping. But recently, Dijon has further slowed down his already chill style for ‘Nico’s Red Truck.’ Whereas his previous cuts have landed in grey areas between rock, r&b, and pop, ‘Nico’s Red Truck’ sees Dijon more rooted in americana or folk, at least in the beginning. You may have heard his guitar driven, soft rock singles like ‘Skin’ or ‘Violence’ which have gotten considerable attention on Spotify playlists. “Former vocalist for the duo known as Abhi//Dijon has been striking it out on his own for about the past year now. Support this talented DIY band by checking out ‘Skins’ and the rest of their EP today.” Paris described the conception of ‘Skins’ as a song that came together naturally, as a result of the duo’s chemistry. The track’s soothing ambiance is fully realized thanks to Paris’ production wizardry. Standout track ‘Skins’ serves as an epic centerpiece with its dreamy guitar arpeggios, lush hook, and slick verses. In this way, the group is a uniquely accurate reflection of the diverse music community they come from. The EP combines alternative rock, trippy hip-hop detours, and groovy beats. MERGA, a new band consisting of scene staples Tendosadboii and Paris From Tokyo, just dropped their stunning debut EP, I Died in Fulda. Shows feature lineups combining femme punk bands, hip-hop collectives, and funky indie rockers. What makes Detroit so special right now is how eclectic its scene is. “For those unaware, over the past year or so, Detroit’s music scene has become wholly revitalized thanks to a batch of young go-getters. ‘I used to live my life in the wind,’ Sampha sings, ‘I’ll make you whole, because you’re my treasure.'” The strings, backed by a dripping piano track, serve as a cushion for Sampha’s crooning, as he provides listeners with an intimate portrait of a complicated relationship, likely as complicated as the one between father and son in the film. The track is string-heavy, featuring the artistry of Tetsuumi Nagata, Sergio Serra, Stephanie Edmundson, Toby Hughes, Venetia Jollands and Alison D’Souza. ![]() I feel honoured to be asked to contribute something to a film as authentic and important as this,’ he said. ‘Nic and David’s story, and the dynamic between them really resonated with me on an emotional level, and ‘Treasure’ is my response, filtered through the lens of my own experiences. Topping off the original soundtrack to the film is a song by UK singer-songwriter Sampha titled ‘Treasure.’ In a statement, Sampha said that he wrote the song for the film after seeing it for the first time. The film is about the struggled relationship between a father and his meth-addicted son. “Friday marked the release of the new Felix Van Groeningen film ‘Beautiful Boy,’ starring Steve Carell (Nic) and Timothée Chalamet (David). Mourn the death of Pete and Ariana’s engagement with some tasty new tunes.
