ARTIST NEWS
Anna Calvi has written the score to the new series of the BBC’s ‘Peaky Blinders’. “This is a new thing for me but it was a really good fit, I love everything about the show”, she says. “I completely immersed myself in it and became quite obsessed with the characters, especially Tommy Shelby [played by Cillian Murphy] and getting lost in his mind”. The show is set to air on BBC One later this year.

RELEASES
Iggy Pop has announced that he will release new album, ‘Free’, on 6 Sep. “I wanted to be free”, he says of his mindset going into the studio. “I know that’s an illusion, and that freedom is only something you feel, but I have lived my life thus far in the belief that that feeling is all that is worth pursuing; all that you need – not happiness or love necessarily, but the feeling of being free. So this album just kind of happened to me, and I let it happen”. Here’s a little sampler. Feel free to peruse.
Korn have released the video for new single ‘You’ll Never Find Me’. Their new album, ‘The Nothing’, is out on 13 Sep.
Slaves have released new EP ‘The Velvet Ditch’. They’ve also announced new UK tour dates in December, including a three night run at ULU in London.
King Princess has released new single ‘Prophet’. Her debut album, ‘Cheap Queen’, is set for release later this year. “For the last few years my music listening experience mainly revolves around playlists I make for myself, and I’ve noticed that I listen to different moods of music in each season, which is probably the case for lots of people”, she says. “So, I wanted to create a project that everyone can use to be creative and start their own playlists with and maximise their summer vibes”.
Mei has released new EP ‘No Bad Days’. “For the last few years my music listening experience mainly revolves around playlists I make for myself, and I’ve noticed that I listen to different moods of music in each season, which is probably the case for lots of people”, she says. “So, I wanted to create a project that everyone can use to be creative and start their own playlists with and maximise their summer vibes”.
