In a young life, relatively small periods of time can actually form a rather significant portion of an individual’s time on Earth. Take Declan McKenna. It’s three years since he was inspired by the corruption and scandal surrounding FIFA and the 2014 World Cup to write ‘Brazil’. Three years may not seem like a long time, but at 18, it’s one sixth of Declan’s life. The song is the oldest to feature on his debut album, ‘What Do You Think About The Car?’, released last month.
It's fair to say Superfood are a very different band now from the group to which we were first introduced back in 2013. The most significant among the changes they have undergone is the shedding of half the band. Drummer Carl Griffin and bassist Emily Baker have departed, leaving just the two lead writers and performers, Dom Ganderton and Ryan Malcolm. They've also left their old label and signed, having completed work on sophomore album 'Bambino', with Dirty Hit Records, home of The 1975, The Japanese House and a whole roster of exciting, young, British talent.
Norwegian songstress Astrid S has swiftly followed up her ‘Party’s Over’ EP with a new song, ‘Before I Talk’.
About the song, she says: “It’s a song about saying things you don’t mean because you are hurt, frustrated or maybe angry. I hope that this is a song a lot of people can relate to, and that next time you are about to say something in the heat of an argument, you hopefully remember to think before you say something hurtful.”
