Playlists of 2024
In 2024, I started a new semi-regular column, Playlist, picking out tracks that caught my ear. It quickly turned into a way to try and promote the work of artists from around the Northeast of England and formed a natural counterpoint to my Talking Northeast project.

Nothing Shines On This Island: Chloe Slater at The Old Blue Last
If any of you have been on the indie rocker side of TikTok or Instagram as of late, there is a high chance you may have heard Chloe Slater’s tongue-in-cheek and pointed track ‘Nothing Shines On This Island’. And if you are anything like me, you simply cannot get enough of her fabulously descriptive, meaningful and fun lyricism. Pair this with awesome guitar riffs and rocking drum rhythms, I was immediately drawn to learn more about the young artist from Manchester writing these brilliant songs.

KENDRICK LAMAR AND THE LAST BASTION OF AMERICAN ARTISTRY . Content Warning.
It was never going to be a fair fight. The moment Kendrick Lamar was announced as the Super Bowl halftime act, the battlefield was already soaked in gasoline, waiting for a single spark. And oh, what a glorious, roaring blaze it was. Even the most curmudgeonly grandmothers—those shriveled old warhorses who spit venom at anything made after 1979—had to concede: this was pure, uncut artistry. No gimmicks. No bloated, commercialized nostalgia bait. Just a man standing before the behemoth of American excess and shoving art directly down its gullet. I was three shots deep into the game, half-invested in a bet with my boyfriend, who—ever the foolhardy optimist—had put his faith in the Eagles. He was winning that bet (for now), but I had my money on something much larger. Would Kendrick deliver? Would he transcend? Would he, in the eyes of history, be granted entry into that elusive pantheon where music, performance, and raw human energy fuse into something resembling a religious experience? By the time he hit Not Like Us, it wasn’t even a question. I watched my boyfriend pour another shot without a word, knowing he had lost. Kendrick doesn’t just win. He eradicates.

Nesta at 80
80 years... I am pretty much astonished that I grew up hearing his music the way I did, or lived with his legacy. I have the t-shirts, albums, biography - through my brother's early interest - certain expired drinks and have even seen headphones and other technology with his face and name imprinted on them. He is as much a part of our pop culture as Charlie Chaplin, the Beatles, and Taylor Swift. His fingerprints are all over our understanding of what music from the Third World actually means.

Lady Blackbird in Concert. Top Story - February 2025.
Going to see Lady Blackbird I realised that, maybe, I don’t have the vocabulary to describe music. I understand genre, tone and the way a bass note can hit in the chest, or a sustained high note takes you floating. But music, it seems, is a language of its own that gets lost in translation. Something gets misshapen when words do their clunky business.
