• How Roxanne Shante paved the way for Cardi B and Nicki Minaj

  23-03-2018 14:00
  New Netflix film Roxanne Roxanne dramatises the life of a rapper who influenced every female MC since the 1980s. It’s about time her story got heardOn the surface, Roxanne Shanté, whose recording career effectively ended in her mid-20s, might not seem like an obvious choice for a hip-hop biopic. The reality, however, is that, as its first female superstar, Shanté’s influence was seismic and everlasting. Without Shanté, there would be no Nicki, no Cardi, no Iggy.

  ABC2, Glasgow
  The American teenager pulls off somersaulting vocals and pin-drop performances with regal poiseIn 2012, aspiring pop star Madison Beer got a vertiginous career bump from Justin Bieber after he gushingly shared a clip of her covering Etta James’s At Last with his millions of Instagram followers. In the years since, Beer has relocated from New York to LA, released the odd single and maintained an impressive social media presence. It was only in February this year – just b

• Sunflower Bean: Twentytwo in Blue review – shoegazers find their feet

  23-03-2018 11:30
  (Lucky Number)When this Brooklyn trio first emerged with 2016’s Human Ceremony, with band T-shirts and scraggly hair, they looked like archetypal indie rockers. Two years on, singer/bassist Julia Cumming is the epitome of blond chic while guitarist/vocalist Nick Kivlen and drummer Jacob Faber’s tailored moustaches and coiffured curls are more synonymous with 70s soft rock. The metamorphosis is mirrored in their music, which has transformed from a tuneful mix of shoegaze, grunge and p

• George Ezra: Staying at Tamara’s review – the sound of summer barbecues

  23-03-2018 11:00
  (Columbia)Even by the standards of critically uncool music, George Ezra is not cool. Time was when all any summer jam needed was a guitar-playing hat man faintly acquainted with ska. That simple time is over, the sound of the summer is now self-loathing set to slinky dancehall. Paolo Nutini is in the wilderness. Even Olly Murs sings sex jams now. It makes Ezra’s second album a total anachronism, and potentially more charming for it: horns parp, hands clap, choruses rouse and seethe with bo

• Courtney Marie Andrews: May Your Kindness Remain review – Americana on the brink of eruption

  23-03-2018 10:30
  (Loose)A couple of minutes into the title track of Courtney Marie Andrews’ new album, a stately ballad suddenly explodes with guitar: not noise, or shredding, just a simple but massively reverbed solo, the notes teetering on the edge of feedback. It sounds like a nod towards rage, even as Andrews pleads for tolerance in the new America: “If your money runs out / And your good looks fade / May your kindness remain,” she sings, as the rumble intensifies beneath her. That rumbling

• Toni Braxton: Sex and Cigarettes review – exquisitely anguished R&B

  23-03-2018 10:00
  (Def Jam)Toni Braxton may have just got engaged to hip-hop mogul Birdman, but there isn’t any sign of a heel-clicking, lamppost-swinging flush of love here – she seems permanently marooned in a Mariana trench of post-breakup misery. This is of course her dominant mode. She remains best known for Unbreak My Heart, where the dejected singer knows how impossible the task of the title is, but is powerless not to request it. Lyrically, even upbeat hits such as You’re Making Me High
