Jacob Alon is making fantastical, vulnerable folk music

On a quiet day in suburban Fife, exploring the woodland next to their hometown by the seaside, Jacob Alon once found magic in a dead bird. They were young, and this was a mystical but peculiar beauty they hadn’t found around the estates by their house. They kept finding the same breadcrumbs of beauty in broken shadows on the beaches, odd shells, fallen branches and anything remotely strange in this boring part of Scotland.

The Orchestra (For Now) capture the city’s fast-paced neuroticism with maximalist ‘London prog’

Lately, it seems London’s experimental rock scene is locked in a love affair with maximalism. Black Country, New Road have pivoted from the acerbic post-punk of their first album to the sprawling pastoralism of Joanna Newsom or Arcade Fire; Caroline make post-rock as an eight piece with its own complete string section. With their debut EP ‘Plan 75’, The Orchestra (For Now) have distilled this sound into its most essential form: sonically manifesting the neuroses that could only develop from […]

Beckah Amani – ‘This Is How I Remember It.’ review: a bold, expressive debut

For singer-songwriter Beckah Amani, music is a means for finding a home anywhere. Born in Tanzania to Burundian parents, then moving to Australia as a child, she made sense of the worlds moving in and around her through songwriting, influenced by everything from her family’s heritage to the Western pop and indie artists she had grown to love.

Gigi Perez: The chart-topping ‘Sailor Song’ star who’s building her own community

Gigi Perez says her incredible breakout success is hitting her “in waves”. Earlier last month, the 24-year-old topped the UK singles chart with ‘Sailor Song’, a lusty folk ballad that opens with a truly captivating couplet: “I saw her in the rightest way / Looking like Anne Hathaway.” Alongside Billie Eilish’s ‘Lunch’ and Chappell Roan’s ‘Good Luck, Babe!’, it adds to a banner year for queer female representation: ‘Sailor Song’ has also scaled the charts in Australia, Singapore and Perez’s […]

Uche Yara – ‘Honey’ review: a woozy, yearning EP sizzling with ideas

One year after her debut single ‘Www She Hot’, Uche Yara remains difficult to pin down. The Austrian multi-instrumentalist’s early tracks have darted between indie, R&B and psych rock, led by a similarly dextrous vocal: spanning airy falsettos on ‘Www She Hot’, pained groans on ‘homesick’ and playful vocalisations on ‘ZUU (Zoo)’. Following her fun, saturated EP ‘Golden Days, ‘Honey’ represents another left-turn: a more restrained, singer-songwriter-facing collection. While it feels insubstantial as an EP, it is not short on […]

Babymorocco is pop’s new provocateur

Sexy. Crunchy. Electro. Big and muscly. This about sums up the next act of pop’s beefy enfant terrible, Babymorocco. The Bournemouth-born himbo has made quite a splash in the electronic avant-garde this past year, enticing the likes of Jockstrap, The Dare and more into his sordid world of oil-smothered thirst traps and cheeky beats. Now, he promises even more debauchery on debut album ‘Amour’, giving us a peek behind the well-glossed veneer of a star on the rise. The singer […]

The 20 best debut albums of 2024

“Get the Brits out!” chant Belfast rap trio Kneecap. “Jungle is back!” declares Nia Archives. “I want to be me.” Lola Young pleads, a slight crack in her voice. “Is that not allowed?” These are just some of the many resounding statements made by new artists in 2024 – a year where breaking out has become increasingly difficult. You have cost-of-living crises that stifle time, energy and creativity, music venues dwindling by the day, and an industry which expects so […]

Alt Blk Era are the chameleonic sisters making waves in the alt scene

Welcome to the world of Alt Blk Era: a kaleidoscopic project consisting of joint vocalists and sisters Nyrobi and Chaya changing alt-rock like never before. Experimentation is part and parcel of the history of alternative music – we’ve seen it before with The Prodigy, whose sound has famously fluctuated between hardcore punk and electronic rock. But what makes Alt Blk Era different from the rest? In 2023, their debut ‘Freak Show’ EP put the girls on the map in the […]

Odeal: the LVRN-backed rising star redefining R&B with his alté fusion

“Where’s the towels?” Odeal asks as a grey massage table stands in the middle of his dressing room. When we first spoke to the NME 100 alumnus back in 2021, the British-Nigerian artist was carving his own lane to become the “UK’s alté renaissance man” – creating bound-to-be cult classics solo in his room. He found success with every release, starting in his university days when he released the melodic ‘Vicious Cycle (Policeman)’. Right now, he’s gearing up for his […]
