Pop sensation Neneh Cherry and her latest jazz fueled persona have been making their way around Europe to a thunderous applause. She’s been kind enough to let us glimpse into the glamorous life of a Swedish soul singing icon with a series of great tour diaries. You can find them posted here on Pintrest; alternately you can help live them this coming Sunday with her hugely anticipated show at The Village Underground!
We’re on something of a James Yorkston binge of late. Over the past days we’ve posted two pitch perfect new songs – now’s your chance to see how they were made. Tickets for Yorkston’s September show at Southbank can be found here.
It’s becoming clear that those of us too timid to brave the rain last night missed out on something magnificent. Reviews of Anna Calvi’s flawless set are still pouring in, and with them a deluge of fantastic photos! Take a peep at some favorites courtesy of our friends over at The Line of Best Fit.
We can assure you that our next events for the Somerset House Series will be just as breathtaking – and we wouldn’t want to see you make the same mistake twice, so find your tickets here while they last!
Neneh Cherry stopped by Swedish radio program Sommar to give her 12 favorite songs and talk about her life and musical history. The discussion is in Swedish but stick around for her 12 ace song picks. Listen here.
Her performance (in English) takes place this Sunday.
Yesterday we brought you the whirling, catchy single ‘Border Song’ off of James Yorkston’s new record I Was A Cat From A Book. We’ve had the track on repeat since and due to your glowing reception we’re going to go ahead and throw you another – so Catch! (see what we did there? we’re sorry)
Here’s a real treat from the infallible Domino Record Co – a new single from Scottish songwriter James Yorkston! The loose, raucous, and wholly charming tune is pulled from his forthcoming 6th LP. You can find him live this September at the Southbank Centre.
As Yorkston sings, “This is nothing, just a flirt, just a flicker, just a taster, of what it not to come…” Needless to say we’re keeping our ears to the ground for more!
