Kimmortal doesn’t just make music they challenge who gets to be seen, heard, and remembered.Ahead of their first ever UK run, the Filipino Canadian artist continues to carve out space on their own terms. Blending hip hop, R&B, and experimental pop punk, their work resists easy labels, pairing sharp cultural insight with humour, vulnerability, and a deep focus on identity, belonging, and self definition.Joining them is Berlin based Sherryaeri, a queer, genrefluid DJ and producer known for high energy sets that fuse Arab bass, Jersey Club, Baile Funk, and more, all rooted in creating safer spaces for queer BIPOC FLINTA…
Topiccontinues what is shaping up to be one of the busiest creative ventures with “Sorry Papi,” a new single alongside global superstarBecky G, out April 24 viaUniversal Music. The track arrives hot on the heels ofTopic‘s last month’s release “Missing You” withShimzaandA7S(UMG) – a cross-genre collaboration that reunited him with his long-time vocal partnerA7Swhile pushing his signature melodic sound into Afro-tech territory. “Sorry Papi” marks the next chapter in that trajectory, this time pairingTopic‘s production with a multiplatinum recording artist for a track sung entirely inSpanish. True toBecky G‘s known activism, “Sorry Papi” lands as a confident female empowerment anthem,…
A searing display of grief through ten bare songs.How we all cope with grief is complex and individual, though the ability of energising one’s sadness through music is a powerful and positive one. Belfast’s Joshua Burnside has been gaining a solid and highly respected reputation for beautiful, acoustic sound experiments, cleverly mixing folk/americana sounds with more challenging music.Through two albums previously and an array of EP’s he’s built a loyal fanbase. For his latest album, he’s gone back to his core musical roots with a collection of acoustic songs dealing with the grief he encountered following the death of his…
Speaking in the new issue of Uncut – in shops now and available to buy online from us here – as part of our extensive celebrations of The Queen Is Dead at 40, Stephen Street revisits his work with The Smiths at the height of their powers, unpacking the studio experiment, collective confidence and sheer momentum behind this classic album — a moment when, he recalls, it felt like anything was possible. “It was like, ‘We can do anything and people are going to listen,’” he tells us… “After Meat Is Murder I got some very nice postcards from Morrissey…
Speaking in the new issue of Uncut – in shops now and available to buy online from us here – Ringo Starr reflects on Sam Mendes’ forthcoming quartet of Beatles films, from advising on scripts to meeting Barry Keoghan, his on‑screen alter ego. Starr says the biopics will balance invention with authenticity: “There’s gonna be some reality to it” in the finished films… “Barry came to live with me for a year, so he’d really get my mannerisms… No, I’m just shitting on you!” laughs Starr. “He came over one afternoon for two hours and we said hello. Then I…

Sheffield band’s new album is one of grit and struggle, with flashes of cynical humour, performed on a musically tight backdrop.IV is an album which deals with themes of being stuck, nostalgia, regret and also provides a wry social commentary. Opener, Skin in the Game, deals with someone who is on the edge and is scared to move on, as he has too much to lose. “Maybe I could change but I don’t know where to start” captures that sense of ambiguity about change, and there’s desperation in the line, “Can we forgive and forget / Or is it Russian…
Those in the know can’t understand why Geraint Watkins isn’t a bigger solo music star. The Welsh piano and accordion wizard is one of the best UK session and touring musicians, having played with the likes of Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe, Van Morrison, Andy Fairweather Low, Bill Wyman, Eric Clapton, Tom Jones, Paul McCartney, Mark Knopfler, Carl Perkins, John Martyn, and many more. As a solo artist, he has released occasional solo albums over the years, and for a while, he was in the UK’s best Cajun band, the Balham Alligators. He made the trip from his native South Wales…
As Graeme Tait takes an enforced break he kindly asked me to step in this month to produce our monthly EP Roundup. I think he knows he has no fears about my contributions matching his excellent work month after month. Still, we’ll give it a go.First off is a strange one – billed as an EP, it is in fact just one song, sung by the writer, octogenarian San Francisco cult folk singer Tucker Zimmerman (with a second version of the song by Jackie Oates and Neil Halstead). Zimmerman was a hero to many, notably David Bowie, and had recorded…
You can tell that Big Thief are feeling good about their four-night residency at Brixton Academy when they open with a delicate new song, “What I Only Dream Of”. It’s a beautiful country number played on acoustic guitar by Adrianne Lenker, accompanied on synth by opening act Dylan Meek, brother of Big Thief guitarist Buck. Lenker giggles with sheer musical joy as Meek takes a solo, and it’s as if the two of them are alone in a rehearsal room rather than performing in front of 5,000 people. But she knows she’s being watched. “Strangers’ eyes bring me to life,”…

Wellington artists Will McClean and Young Gho$t are back with their second collaborative single, “No Giving Up,” landing April 24th, and it signals a clear shift in tone.Where their first release, “Sippin’ On The Wine,” leaned into a more laid back, reflective space, this new track feels sharper and more intentional. Built around a soulful sample, steady drums, and layered melodies, “No Giving Up” centres itself on a simple but resonant idea: persistence.There’s a quiet confidence running through the record. Both artists take a measured approach, focusing less on dramatics and more on consistency, showing up, staying grounded, and trusting…
