Dogan’s debut EP Dolce is out already and it is a stunning collection of hip hop songs to enjoy. The artist chose beautiful, melodic tunes and catchy hooks to emphasize the meaning of “dolce” (in music it means soft and smooth). Drawing on his previous success and the inspiration he gets from living his best life, Dogan is excited to share his tracks with the world. The Dolce vibe is exceptional; it is dynamic and vibrant but at the same time calming. The songs in the EP are meant to share Dogan’s experiences and to let everyone know that...
Alongside his close friend and frequent collaborator Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings was at the forefront of the 1970s outlaw country movement that sought to upset the apple cart of Nashville norms. Seeds of rebellion had begun to take root during the latter part of the previous decade, however, while the Texan troubadour was, to the outside world, still a clean-cut figure playing Music City’s traditional game. ORDER NOW: Johnny Marr is on the cover in the latest issue of Uncut Since his RCA Victor debut in 1966 (Folk-Country), the label had been marketing Jennings in the mould of their...
When Willy Vlautin told Amy Boone about his new batch of songs set on the Gulf Coast, the singer wasn’t quite sure whether he was referring to The Delines’ next record or a screenplay in progress. Her confusion is understandable: when he was at the helm of Richmond Fontaine, Vlautin wrote strong, deceptively simple narratives about the lonely and dislocated, the dispossessed and the perennially let-down, and he carried this literary style over into The Delines. There he developed richer, more soulful songs with Boone’s knockout voice in mind – equal parts Bobbie Gentry and Chrissie Hynde, it became...
The year 1979 was when synth-pop went overground. In May, Tubeway Army released their final single “Are ‘Friends’ Electric”, a Moog-powered track that propelled the band – and their pale cyborg of a lead singer Gary Numan – to the top of the charts and onto Top Of The Pops. That same month, another seminal synth-powered record hit shelves. That The Bridge is seeing its first vinyl reissue since 1979 would seem to indicate it’s more of a footnote in the history of electronic music than a foundation stone. But a listen from the vantage point of 2022 reveals...
When Big Mama Thornton took the stage in 1977, she was struggling. Despite pioneering rock, blues and R&B in the 1950s, she’d been largely forgotten except as someone whose songs were covered and whose style was copped by Elvis and Janis Joplin, among others. Influence, however, doesn’t pay the bills. She toured continuously to survive, despite being so physically weak that she had to be helped onstage. Alcoholism hastened her decline and ravaged her voice, so that it was barely a squeak compared with the hurricane it had once been. ORDER NOW: Johnny Marr is on the cover in...
Jack White has shared the title track from his forthcoming album Fear Of The Dawn, one of two records he’ll release this year, alongside Entering Heaven Alive. ORDER NOW: Johnny Marr is on the cover in the latest issue of Uncut Following on from the similarly blistering “Taking Me Back”, White’s latest track is a freewheeling, fuzzed-out rocker that clocks in at just over two minutes, with the former White Stripes frontman howling over heavily distorted guitars. Listen to “Fear Of The Dawn” below: Advertisement White announced both Fear Of The Dawn and Entering Heaven Alive back in November...
