The title track opens the album, landing in the sweet spot where disco meets art…
With parenthood, redundancy, job hunting, a very busy new job and a steam-powered laptop all taking up time, we’ve not been able to post anywhere near as much as we’d like to throughout 2023 – but we still love music and what’s December without some Top 5s. Here is five of our favourite tracks of…
Blur have shared glorious new single ‘The Narcissist’ ahead of their UK shows and surprise new album ‘The Ballad of Darren’, out on 21 July via Parlophone.
