Hear DeJ Loaf and Leon Bridges connect for ‘Liberated’

DeJ Loaf has teamed up with Leon Bridges for the title-track off the former’s upcoming album ‘Liberated’.

Calling the song her “favourite record of her career”, the song’s universal message makes it clear that DeJ is calling upon all her fans to celebrate with her: “If you feel free, you should lift your hands.”

“It is such a powerful, life affirming song” says DeJ, adding “‘Liberated’ is about freeing yourself from negativity, doubt or anything that shackles you. It’s about feeling confidant, proud and alive. That moment when you aren’t looking over your shoulder or worrying about what others are thinking. When you realize you are LIVING. Kick off your heels, let your hair down, turn the volume up, break out into dance, be free to be you! I want people to hear the song and feel fearless. The message is simple – just do it!”

Hear Kanye West and Kid Cudi’s debut collaborative album ‘Kids See Ghosts’

Kanye West has shared his second new album of the month, teaming up with Kid Cudi for his much-promised new collaborative project, ‘Kids See Ghosts’.

Released one week after West’s ‘YE‘, ‘Kids See Ghosts’ already trumps Kanye’s own solo work by more than a mile. Spanning just seven songs (is this the ‘new norm’ for albums now?), the project hears more ‘Kanye of olde’ – harsher, more-focused raps, entwined with some solid verses from Cudi himself.

Grab a listen in full below, and as always let us know your thoughts:

Glastonbury 2019: The Beach Boys for Legends slot?

60s pop/rock-band The Beach Boys have become the latest act to hit up the Glastonbury 2019 rumour-mill, following a rogue tour listing appearing on the web.

According to ViaGoGo, the band are set to return to the UK for two performances at London’s Royal Albert Hall, the weekend prior to next year’s Glastonbury, which runs from 26-30 June.

Last year, Beach Boys co-founder Brian Wilson was announced as the headliner for the 21st Glastonbury Extravaganza. Meanwhile, just last month, the group’s Mike Wilson teased that a Worthy Farm Sunday afternoon ‘legends’ appearance could actually be within arm’s reach. Speaking to The Sun, he said “Anything could happen. I would absolutely love to go to Glastonbury. We did 175 shows last year so we stay pretty busy. We would love nothing more than to do that slot at the festival.”

Other names also attached to Glastonbury 2019 include The 1975, Chromeo and Hacienda Classical (the latter whom have already confirmed their appearance).

Listen to Lily Allen’s new album ‘No Shame’

After what seems far too-long-in-the-making, Lily Allen has finally returned with a full length-album, her first since 2014’s ‘Sheezus’.

‘No Shame’, Allen’s fourth studio project, has already been preceded by various singles and televised performances (we’d highly suggest you check out her Jools Holland appearance with ‘Three‘ btw), and has shared a project widely-focused on her personal trauma and experiences that have been prevalent in her life since her last foray.

Brutally honest from the get-go, ‘No Shame’ hears Lily deliver some of her best work to-date – impeccably produced, features that don’t overstay their welcome, and an outlook that seems as relatable to the many as some of her earlier material.

Grab a listen to the album in full below; Allen will also be taking ‘No Shame’ on the road later this year too – full schedule and ticket info can also be found underneath too:

Lily Allen 2018 UK Tour Dates:
13 Dec – Barrowland, Glasgow

16 Dec – Albert Hall, Manchester
