Spoke to Tyla for @NME.
We discussed A*POP, circumventing what a new age pop star can look and sound like, dancehall, media scrutiny and yes, some answers on “Mr. Media”, it’s completed visual and when it *could* potentially drop.

Nah, I’m extremely proud of Bree, Jae, and Nashe. Showing up their white counterparts the music is so much more interesting, nuanced, experimental. Sorry, all some can do is watch then bite them. Kudos

If you’re not tapped in with Ceebo, he’s the present and future of UK rap. It’s his, and that’s written.

Seeing all the black pop girls and fanbases coming together to support Tinashe is everything.
It’s no secret how hard she’s worked, delivering quality year and year. She deserves it more than anyone.

I’ve really enjoyed tapping back into reviews this year. I wanted to sharpen my critical eye again, as it had been some time.

NME awards Tinashe’s ‘Popstar’ a five-star review in its latest critique.
‘[…] ‘Popstar’ is an equilibrium of confidence and introspection on which Tinashe lets the world in – not to vie for their approval, but to showcase the trials and tribulations of a Black woman in Hollywood.’

Jae Stephens’ arrival couldn’t have been timed more perfectly. There’s a yearning for Black women in pop and new eras, archetypes, perspectives and heights of success. Her giving her debut album the name ‘Audacity’ is a call to action, a potent framing and motif. This era will set her foundation.
Congrats to her.

A nasty beat. So Rihanna (Unapologetic and Anti era), Gucci, Rasheeda and Ariana coded.
She chewed, bit, ate. Everything. Thank Atlanta for this one.
