  09-02-2018 16:28
  The rapper’s knotty nihilism shines through as he curates an all-star album featuring the Weeknd and James BlakeFilm soundtracks are often critically acclaimed, they’re occasionally big sellers, they sometimes even insinuate themselves into popular culture in the same way that a zeitgeisty studio album might. But they rarely attract the kind of advanced publicity afforded the soundtrack to Black Panther. For some time now, the web has been awash with news stories anticipating its rel

• Brigid Mae Power: The Two Worlds review – steely songs about abuse and recovery

  09-02-2018 10:45
  (Tompkins Square)When The Observer gave four stars to the then-unknown Brigid Mae Power’s 2016 self-titled debut, Kitty Empire observed a lingering malevolence tingeing the Irish artist’s saturnine hymnals, writing: “We don’t know what [she] has been through.” Now we do. In the late 2000s, Power lived in New York, trapped in an abusive relationship, which she recently detailed in support of the #MeToo movement. She moved back to rural Ireland, had a child and wound

• Shirt: Pure Beauty review – 90s east coast rap influences on his sleeve

  09-02-2018 10:30
  (Third Man Records)Jack White’s Third Man Records is known for releasing classic blues albums and lo-fi garage rock, so Pure Beauty, the debut album from New York indie rap veteran Shirt is, on first glance, a surprising left turn. Scratch the surface and it makes more sense: Shirt is as much of a revivalist as White is. Sonically lodged firmly in the 90s, Pure Beauty (the title a giveaway as to Shirt’s “real hip-hop” intentions) has been created as though much of the las

• Franz Ferdinand: Always Ascending review – geometric diagrams of pop

  09-02-2018 10:15
  (Domino)It is 14 years since Franz Ferdinand helped propel indie into the British mainstream with their single Take Me Out, a lustful song that mixed Roxy Music’s polished theatrics with the spiky, wry post-punk of Josef K. Yet while the Glasgow group were easy to admire, they were hard to truly love, lacking the sweaty warmth that emanated from their more ramshackle peers. Their fifth album finds them still with the same problem: it’s a collection of coolly masterful tracks that ten

• Alela Diane: Cusp review – the agonies and ecstasies of motherhood

  09-02-2018 10:00
  (All Points) Oregon-based singer-songwriter Alela Diane Menig’s outstanding fifth album is the result of her confronting what she sees as one of the more ridiculous remaining artistic taboos – that women should not write songs about having babies. The singer has form when it comes to going deep – 2013’s melancholy About Farewell documented her painful break-up from husband and band-member Tom Bevitori – and Cusp gains much from exploring motherhood’s agonies a

• Why black women are still a minority in the grime scene

  White women outnumber black artists, producers, managers and tastemakers – but it’s a problem the industry is reluctant to address
  It’s not news that black British female MCs struggle for parity with their male counterparts. Look at this year’s Wireless bill: so far, Mabel and Lisa Mercedez are the only British women; New Yorker Cardi B is the only other female act altogether. But the problem persists behind the scenes: black women as photographers, producers, DJs, journa
