The English Popchamäleon has released his fourth Album. As with The 1975 usual, happens in a impressive 80 minutes of playing time a whole lot: The almost traditionally self-titled opening track, a musical talk by climate activist Greta Thunberg, glides by means of “Wake Up, Wake Up”Call in the verrockte “People”. There are ambient (“Streaming”), Pop (“The Birthday Party”), Acoustic (“Jesus Christ 2005 God Bless America”) and even Raviges (“Shiny Collarbone”). “This is totally arbitrary!”, the critic says. “This is an Album for the post milleniale multi-option society!”, the Fan says.
Also, Charli XCX is open on your new Album, “How I’m Feeling Now” options: Between the dirty dancing of the “Pink Diamond” and the pop brilliance of “Forever” are all of ten seconds to Transition. On their fourth Album, the Englishwoman explores further the niches between chart music and avant-garde Pop. It is a joy.

It is spoken.
unfortunately We have to come back to Xavier Naidoo. He is a fan of conspiracy theories, and, among other things, the Coronavirus as an excuse to enslave the Germans, unfortunately, is only the tip of the iceberg.

What can one say?

Buds Penseur by La Base, and a Native of S. O. S. bridge once more playing the Röstigraben. Bouge la tête, as they say in the Romandie.
they are gone.
The end of the eighties was a good time for Ethnopop. Mory Kanté from Guinea landed at that time with “Yéké Yéké” a worldwide hit, in Switzerland, his Album “Akwaba Beach” in 1988, stood at the top of the Charts, his biggest Hit made it to number two in the singles charts.

The Church the Lord died on the 12. May, in her birth city on the Elbe. An obituary you will find in the süddeutsche Zeitung.
The piece
if you like it nerdy and bass-heavy, this is a short documentary about the Sinai Soundsystem from Sheffield to heart. Sound systems are mobile discos, which were in the fifty years of Jamaican popular. From there, they came in the Sixties and seventies, even after the United Kingdom. Huw Williams runs the Sinai sound system with pleasure on the good Party of the old originals and the claim of a high-quality Sound. Best you listen to the documentary with the head.
