REVIEW: LEON BRIDGES - LEON


4/5

The Professional

Bridging the gap between modern music and the instant vintage (we see you, Ray, Ray) of old soul, 'Leon' Bridges is back with his first namesake, fourth formidable album. 'Leon' follows the tracks of the Grammy winning 'Coming Home' and 'River' singer's 'Motorbike' led last album 'Gold-Diggers Sound'. Seemingly yesterday, but one that came out in 2021, like volume one of Coldplay's 'Music Of The Spheres' catalogue. Coincidentally, those Glastonbury headliners also came out with new music this Friday, in the form of their spherical second volume, 'Moon Music'. Now, led by the sensational singles 'That's What I Love' and 'Peaceful Place', Leon gives us another classic and his best album since 2018's 'Good Thing' and its Grammy family single. I guess the bet WAS worth the hand.

Atlanta's own, singing about peaches and cream like 112, made his name and worth in the forts of Texas. You can hear it in the sun and moon of extended plays he's made with supergroup Khruangbin (technically, his last release was the 'Texas Moon' collaborative EP project in early '22). His sound just gets so much 'Sweeter', like his subtle, but beautiful protest anthem with Terrace Martin, what the world STILL needs now. Even though in a compelling closing, Leon tells us, 'God Loves Everyone'. It's a crazy time. The mere mention of One Twelve makes us think of P. Diddy and all that he has done. Another former hero, that turned out to be worse than a zero. Just like R. Kelly, who was crafting a classic like 'When A Man Lies' until we found out he really did (added Karl-Anthony Towns voice for emphasis). Well, on 'When A Man Cries', Bridges begins with a beauty that you can track in tears of a clown, like Smokey Miracles, not actual ones. "Turn my pain into power/My fear to desire, oh/Woah/Fall apart when I try to be strong/Gotta learn how to cry, oh-oh." Amen.

Like the loving, hurting, breaking and healing of a Rupi Kaur poem, love and life is all here in the milk and honey of a heaven sent artist. More neo in the soul of this urban music matrix, like the steady stream of Bilal beauty, who had his own album out last week. Adjusting the brightness, to this beautiful afternoon in the park, Leon Bridges is sat on a lawn chair, shaded under a tree that could have been the same one his 'Motorbike' music film character died under. The river that maybe made his name and career behind him. His name fashioned above his fit like it was a Gap advert for the stylish icon. But this is Wrangler's man. And that's what 'That's What I Love' sounds like in all its, "Bourbon, Cadillacs, blue denim/Making love on the beach in the mornin'/Springtime in the Trinity River, gold jewellery/All black penny loafers." Suit up. From the inspired 'Ivy', to the sweet 'Ghetto Honeybee', Bridges brings it all. Changing clothes to the "stonewash denim with the long crease in 'em and my snakeskin boots", that still 'Ain't Got Nothing On You'.

Lucky for some, going forth, this 13-track album from the singer/songwriter will be your musical landscape, from the streets of 'Laredo', to the pride of 'Panther City'. Can you see one of the biggest and best black artists making history in all of music? It's all about the love and heart that we should all 'Simplify' like the lasting lines of "She was my first love, wonder how she doin' now/What if I had loved her?/What if I had stayed?/What if I'd never put my money on a chase?", that vow a matrimony in marriage with another life we all could have had if we just went left, right? We all wish we go back sometimes, as 'Teddy's Tune' keeps singing those "what if" blues away. It's a marvel to behold, like Leon in full force. An artist and man who would have been the greatest in the days of Marvin. This underrated, underappreciated and unsung hero will just have to settle for being a legend in our time.

"I can't get you off my mind/Let it last all the time/Hope our bodies meet again/Hope I get your love again." The trick is to be 'Never Satisfied' as we chase our art and heart. The act of making love and life being as such. Even if we 'Can't Have It All' like "A life that's worth living/Take me away/Each night I pray/But baby, if you say no/I'll be living in my misery/Heart stop, can't breathe", in the yearning and burning of a better way and life. Conceived since his childhood, and a love letter (and more than one song) to his time in "beloved" Forth Worth, Texas' own brings the world together with the very purity and depths of his soul. A greater substance than his slick style, from his hair to his boots. Cut like a classic of not just his, but our time, Bridges' 'Leon' says it best, on God. "God loves the birds and the bees/God loves the stoners and freaks/And the girls on the street/Just the same as you and me/Old men and the young and the strange/School kid looking out at the rain/Cops on the beat and the crooks in the cage/Just the same." Everyone under the Texas sun. A feeling from the most high you can have faith in as you run it back. All the way to the roots of nostalgia, truly coming home. TIM DAVID HARVEY.

Playlist Picks: 'When A Man Cries', 'Ivy', 'God Loves Everyone'.

REVIEW: COLDPLAY - MOON MUSIC


4/5

Cold Side Of The Moon

You've all seen the meme. Bryan Cranston's Walter White of 'Breaking Bad' fame, dropping a pipette of crystal meth into a test tube. I used it myself for my own caption, "applying the hair serum my friend kindly got me for my 39th birthday". But we all know the famous one, "Coldplay carefully crafting the worst f###ing song you've ever heard." Funny? True. But "facts"? False! Thousands of people in a sea of hundreds of flags, not to mention millions watching at home as per the great British tradition, in concert with a Coldplay gig at the UK's iconic Glastonbury Festival can't be wrong. England's Coachella (more like Coachella is California's Glastonbury) featured everyone from Dua Lipa to LCD Soundsytem, this Summer. But Chris Martin and his crew (Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman, Will Champion, and no relation, Phil Harvey) were the only ones to bring out 'Back To The Future' legend Michael J. Fox out on guitar. Go, Johnny! Go, go, go!

Oasis, reunited, have our money (not our Ticketmaster sterling, Jesus Christ!) on headlining Glasto last year. Even Liam Gallagher has talked about how he preferred the old Coldplay, like rap fans say Kanye. Sure, this group who have collaborated with everyone from Beyoncé to BTS, have been in their electronic era for a CASIO minute now (ever since 2011's 'Mylo Xyloto'), but we then college kids still have fond feelings for 'Parachutes' and 'A Rush Of Blood To The Head' (not to mention 'X&Y' and 'Viva la Vida' amongst other friends). It's been 'A Head Full Of Dreams' since then for Chris and his coldest play, but one of the best British bands ever still return to their roots every now and then like with the haunting 'Ghost Stories' of 2014 (pure 'Magic', like the Brandy cover of said song) and 'Everyday Life' in 2019. Yet, like The Smashing Pumpkins giving us 'Teargarden By Kaleidoscope' over a decade, Coldplay have crafted music more colourful than a Holi festival transported to Tokyo's neon Shibuya Crossing.

Lovers in Japan, get ready for this 'Moon Music' (it's only right to release after Glastornbury) by the prism of a pure Pink Floyd like cover of atmospheric album artwork. Serving as a sequel to 2021's 'Music Of The Spheres', this project is official 'Vol. II', after volume one's, 'From Earth With Love'. Recorded in Tarifa, Spain's Punta Paloma studio (the band's logo featuring on FC Barcelona's kit), this pop rock hit features production from The Chainsmokers, the great Jon Hopinks (on the titular opening) and of course, Max Martin. Shot to the moon by the sweet singles, 'Feels Like I'm Falling In Live', the holy 'We Pray', and the latest 'All My Love', that is concurrent to the album, as this record and the last is to the Music Of The Spheres World Tour (a tour edition of this album features a live at River Plate bonus), which will surely see a trilogy for this era. Like Rihanna, or Jay-Z, the likes of Little Simz, Burna Boy, Elyanna, and Tini (on 'We Pray') and Nigerian singer Ayra Starr (on the standout track 'Good Feelings') feature on this (for the) planet encompassing project. Culminating in the classic closer 'One World' for you too.

Sampling 'Funeral Singers' by Sylvan Esso and Tim Rutili for the lead single. Using the words of the timeless Maya Angelou for 'Alien Hits/Alien Radio' back-to-back. They also interpolate their own work for 'Moon Music'. Not to mention use the birds of 'Hymn For The Weekend' for 'One World'. And it's all done to epic effect. Just like the stylized titles with the 'i' in lower case, no space bar, like Prince and even a rainbow emoji for all this changing weather. Just like 'iAAM', AKA, "I am a mountain." From the drops of 'Jupiter', to the antenna of 'Aeterna', this is one great album that Choose's Love like some of the first singles proceeds. Playing all around the world, like the immersive pop-up listening events in Auckland, Berlin, Beijing, London, Paris and Toronto, as well as the Valley of the Moon in San Juan. But for this tenth album, it's the closing statements of 'One World' that really hit home, before the house recorded aside reprise. "In the end, it's just love". And that's it. All you need. Hey, Jude, how's that for a song to hear? TIM DAVID HARVEY.

Playlist Picks: 'Feels Like I'm Falling In Love', 'Good Feelings (Feat. Ayra Starr)', 'One World'.

REVIEW: LADY GAGA - HARLEQUIN


4/5

A Harlequin Is Born

She just couldn't let her go, like the love between Dr. Harleen Frances Quinzel and Arthur Fleck. Hot off the heels of her 'Die With A Smile' duet with fellow pop powerhouse Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga may have just announced her 'Chromatica' follow-up 'LG7', coming in February like Valentine lovers, but this week, she has another trick up her sleeve. 'Harlequin', her surprise soundtrack companion album to underscore her forthcoming film sequel 'Joker: Folie à deux' with the Oscar winning card of Joaquin Phoenix's Joker. Not to mention the actual scoring soundtrack itself for this musical from the 'Sin City: A Dame To Kill For' and 'House Of Gucci' actress. The Academy award-winning 'A Star Is Born' actress and singer, reborn and far from the shallow. Now showing she really is the soundtrack darling after her maverick 'Top Gun' performance.

Holding the hand of the clown prince of crime after 'Barbie' herself, Margot Robbie, Lady Gaga is set to make her own iconic interpretation of Harley Quinn, like Heath Ledger and Jack Nicholson (et al) before the joke was on Joaquin. Stefani Germanotta gets real personal on this Interscope album inspired by her latest movie muse. All for the 'Joanne' singer's boldest album yet that sounds like her work with the late, great Tony Bennett (the double decadence of 'Cheek To Cheek' and 'Love For Sale'), all whilst striking the fine line between Prince's own 1989 'Batman' soundtrack and Jay-Z's 'American Gangster' influenced record. Art pop at its Warhol finest for this American Horror Story on a milk carton, the album artwork sees the red running out of this Harlequin's hair, as she showers in her clothes, jacketed by a life preserver. Floating through the notions of going Gaga through the bad romance with the man who thinks he holds all the cards, the fantabulous Harley Quinzel's eyeliner is running. Circling the drain before she finds her emancipation.

If the movie is going to be anything like the music, then 'Folie à deux' deserves an ovation that stands. Like the test of time of these two animated characters and the series of stories they've been in. The brooding Batman may have just received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but there is nothing that shines stronger, albeit darker instead of brighter, than this imperfect pair's crazy, stupid love. You can feel it on the jazzy standards of the classics from the great American songbook, and the two outstanding original pieces that Gaga made thanks to the film. But just like the beautiful work she did with Bennett, the Grammy and Oscar winning star who only needs a Tony, makes all of this music her own. And not just an ode to Mr. J like the incredible 'The Joker'. Although bringing a 'Smile' back to that face like the iconic prison plexiglass moment over the phone is a master move like that standard originally being used in the first film's teaser trailer.

Putting a Joker grin on that Mona Lisa smile for a collaboration with The Louvre Museum in Paris, France for this record's promotion, this is an actual album from Gaga, no stop gap between the movie and the forthcoming seventh seal set to take 'The Fame Monster' back to her 'Poker Face' roots. Now, with one of her greatest deals that nods to her 'Cheek To Cheek' with the late, and one of the last remaining great American songbook singers and even a wink to her 'A Star Is Born' showcase, Gaga gives us it all. From 'Good Morning' and a 2024 version of 'Get Happy' ("c'mon!"), to the 'That's Life' closer that you can't deny. Bang, bang, even if you're shot down in May after dancing with the devil, in the pale moonlight. 'Folie à deux' is in for a treat, like 'Oh, When The Saints', or 'If My Friends Could See Me Now'. Let alone the 'Happy Mistake' of her own writing with the 'World On A String' like Sinatra. Building a mountain to get close to you (or him) like those birds that suddenly appear (just like he). "I'm acting in this play of/Comedy with tragic words/The audience was smilin'/Cheerin' on a scene absurd." Now, to those worrying about this movie being a musical, why so serious? TIM DAVID HARVEY.

Playlist Picks: 'Smile', 'The Joker', 'Happy Mistake'.

REVIEW: BILAL - ADJUST BRIGHTNESS


4/5

The Adjustment Bilal.

No need to turn down the brightness on the tube. The revolution will not be televised, like the late, great Gil Scott-Heron said. It will, on the other hand, come live and in living color from the soul of your stereo. Just like the 'Sunshine' off of Bilal's new, lead single from his first album in eight years, 'Adjust Brightness'. Following 2015, which felt like we were 'In Another Life', two years after the Japanese art of 'A Love Surreal'. Brought to light, by the Robert Glasper keyboard assisted 'Tell Me', 'Brightness' is an adjustment of genres, like D'Angelo, as this jazzy album is supreme like Coltrane and miles ahead of the competition, with love. From the self-titled opener with bright album artwork that touches God, to the big 'Micro Macro' closer of a new classic for a man whose 'Love For Sale' was leaked before he had a chance to show and prove to you, that like the best thing, that beauty is free.

Firstborn second, ever since the hook hitmaker was coveted by the likes of Dr. Dre in 2001, and before this genre fluid time, many wondered if he was male or female, Bilal has been one of the greatest in his genre. The closest thing to timeless in the matrix of this neo-soul. And what a time for it, coming out of summer, this New Music Friday as NPR recently gave us Maxwell living large and live on their Tiny Desk, which surely must be the perfect precursor to a 'BlackSummersNIGHT'? But this is the 'Soul Sista's' turn for his best album since 2010s 'Airtight's Revenge'. Philly's own Airtight continues his progressive soul and heart for his brothers for this 'Evr Chngin Nrml' like the Prince typography of a Musiq Soulchild, singing, "Come, September/I'll find a new way to survive/This evil wind can't keep me trapped inside/I gotta get my thoughts out in the sun/I still remember when we made love for the first time/Watching your body sway under the moon lit sky/I hoped that it would always be that way/But nothing ever stays the same/Yesterday was high/Now we're bracing for the fall So is this my new normal?/Life is it ever changing thing."

Others just don't clock lyrics like this in this TikTok age. 'Tell Me', who has it like this voice going over the 'A27' like one, two, three. Reminding you of the Jackson's (rest peacefully, Tito) for those who put five on it like the Luniz. Futuristically funky, to confuse the computer, this is 'Who We R Now', as Bilal shows love in the face of a war with AI that may see us lose our humanity like 'The Terminator' prophesised. "We're brining a love frequency", Bilal tells us, as we tune our radios into new album art acting as hits like 'Lay Around' for those lazy Sundays. After Bilal made history in June's month for black music with Questlove, Common (on his own one with Pete Rock) and of course, Robert Glasper ('Live At Glasshaus'), he returns with a sonic 'Sunshine' single of New Jack Swing and so many more compelling chapters in this collection to add to 'The Story'. Turning yet another brand-new page of seamless adjustment.

The canvas is completed with the 'Conditional' likes of "God made man then man made God/She dance and played/We all sing along/But how long has this been going on?/You say you want your heart back?/You got your head screwed on But what about your love?" Questioning everything you believe in on God, as you put your hands together for hope in a world that does so for mercy. It's Bilal's broad and beautiful world once again, like all the times he turned other's songs into hits just 'Waiting For The DJ'. The Solquarian appearing on the likes of Jay-Z's 'Fallin'', Jermaine Dupri's 'Supafly', Clipse's 'Nightmares', Kendrick Lamar's 'These Walls', and our favourite Erykah Badu's 'Jump In The Air & Stay There' featuring Lil' Wayne. Now in his 'Quantum Universe' he welcomes you to his world that rocks the planet with words of the gospel like, "In the language of the universe No words only love/I was running from the light to the dark/Trying to find my way/Back to the divine/But you can't run away from God/The God in you, who is God/I'm walking with the sun in my heart/I realize it's all a part of me." And you too. It's been a period of adjustment, these last few years, but the brighter day and way is here, like him. TIM DAVID HARVEY.

REVIEW: SERJ TANKIAN - FOUNDATIONS EP


3.5/5

System Of A Foundation

Painting a picture of beautiful album artwork in broad strokes on the same New Music Friday that Lady Gaga gives us her surprise 'Harlequin' Jack-in-the-box album accompaniment to the forthcoming 'Joker' sequel, 'Folie à deux'. System Of A Down's very own Serj Tankian gives us the 'Foundations' of his new EP. Intended to be a compliment to the memoir he's just released, 'Down With The System'. Serving as the boldest Takian's been since is 'Riot' of a duet with Wyclef Jean, off the Fugee's 'Carnival Vol II.' classic follow-up, these five tracks are a "retrospective of songs from different eras in (his) life as Serj puts it for collection of music and lyrics from previous decades, rewrote to making this acclaimed autobiography all the more amazing.

Waking up with the rebellion to 'A.F Day' in opening, you know what it all means. Singing along strong, "I borrowed rent today so I can let my body stay awhile/Twice sorrowed by mistake for the color of my step seems too dry/The Ruby of the north is red yet it's green for the blind consent of our time". But before you complain that this is "another f#####g moan" (oh, the irony), 'Justice Will Shine On' in the form of a protest we should all pay heed to, right now. "Can you tell me dear grandmother of your childhood from hunger and pain/Of the orphans you called brothers in her teared eyes disarray?/Can you tell me my grandson she said why this country won't recognize that day/Of the genocide of your fathers?/Believe me, grandma they will pay." Generations haven't learned. It's time we all did.

For the better of this world, these 'Appropriations' are a same song sung for those who still deserve their reparations. Don't be fooled by a 'Cartoon Buyer' who might tell you, "You see me without emotions/I see you across the oceans/We see us but we are them today/You see me after your potions/I see you across the oceans/We see us above these notions." The downtimes are over. We need a new system for 'Life's Revengeful Son'. "The final revolution will occur when the arms of the clock fall/Jesus seen in the streets/Dragging a car axel/Instead of the cross/Souls betrayed from life's/Revengeful son/But I know I won't die tonight/Fields ablaze from life's/Children that cannot grow/But we won't die tonight", Serj sings for hope amongst the harrowing. Tankian has always tried to take us to a better place with his way. A system of a change. Foundations for the future. TIM DAVID HARVEY.

REVIEW: NELLY FURTADO - 7


3.5/5

Nellyville

Whoa, Nelly! That's what everyone was posting, when Furtado hit the stage last year. The Canadian, Portuguese superstar singer from British Colombia on the comeback trail. And what a comeback! You can call it! Just like she told Elle Magazine in Canada, feeling the most confident in her life. In the prime of her life, like her new millennium debut, or when Timbaland set his beats 'Loose' on her in '06 (the year this writer moved to Toronto, Canada. What a real time to be alive, Drake). Her nation needs this, her first album since 'The Ride' of 2017.

All '7' and we'll watch them fall, like Prince said when the icon turned himself into a symbol, for the princess who has become a queen of the dance floor. Smoking the competition in the same week we get more pop for your weasel with the new album from Katy Perry, and another one from Gwen Stefani this month. No doubt about it, Nelly Furtado has won like the Raptors a decade after 'Loose' or like Kendrick over Drizzy Drake. She's not like us, she's on a whole other plane with her seventh seal. Seven years after her last release. Painted black on her naked back above, the all American denim for the one who took the US and us by storm in black and white. The 'Like A Bird', 'Maneater' and 'Promiscuous' singer returning with the hits 'Love Bites' (with Tove Love and SG Lewis for the clubs), 'Honesty' and the 'Corazón' anthem, featuring Bomba Estéreo.

The 'Crown' (featuring Blxckie) fits like Elizabeth Debicki playing Princess Diana for one of the best for the record. But it's 'All Comes Back' that's the real declaration for the 'Showstopper'. All the way back to a unanimous, 'Untitled' classic closer. "Funny how we run to the danger/Like we got a lesson to learn/And we don't think we deserve it/When happiness ain't served", Nelly poignantly plays on a track with Charlotte Day Wilson. Collaborations continue with Gray Hawken ('Better For Worse') and Williane 108, Charmie, Taborah Johnson, and Tynomi Banks (now, that's a mouthful) on 'Save Your Breath'. But it's empowering anthems like 'Ready For Myself' that everybody gets like "You slept on and I woke up (Woke up)/Diamond rings and pixie dust/Can't nobody buy my love/I woke up for me." And you will too.

Recorded in The Orange Lounge (Toronto, Ontario), Paramount Studios (Los Angeles, California), Westlake Studios (Los Angeles, California), Phase One Studios (Scarborough, Ontario), Engine Room (New York City), Milk Boy Studios (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) and Abstrackt Sound Studio (Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania) recording houses. Around 400–500 songs over a four-year period were made for this album. Furtado referring to the different tracks and takes as a collection of "random seashells", not all like. From opening the 'Floodgates' to a 'Fantasy'. Beautiful ballads, 'Better Than Ever'. Before hitting the floor again to 'Take Me Down'. No wonder the swan song has no title, like the album's number. "Fashion collections don't really have titles, they're just called collection number 10 or 21. This is my collection seven." Like Chanel, it feels so good like sweat on the skin as you begin to dance again. Lucky number seven for us. TIM DAVID HARVEY.

Playlist Picks: 'Corazón' (Feat. Bomba Estéreo), 'Crown', 'All Comes Back'.

TV REVIEW: ARE YOU SURE - Season 1


4/5

Map Of The Soul.

8 Episodes. Starring: Jimin, Jung Kook & V. On: Disney +.

Are we there yet? Surely you don't need to ask that when we have no real destination except life itself. And in the new reality series travelogue 'Are You Sure', starring the youngest and coolest members of South Korean K-Pop phenomenon BTS, Jimin and Jung Kook (not to mention special appearances by members V and Suga (on the phone)), these big hitters continue their streaming service Disney deal with a plus. Even if this show seems like just a series of them eating food. Are you sure this isn't the cooking network? 

Following their 'Monuments: Beyond The Star' docuseries last Christmas and New Year, not to mention all the shows in concert on Disney +, like 'Permission To Dance: Live In LA', comes another documentary season of sorts. Something to hold the fans over whilst Jimin and Jung Kook conduct their mandatory military service (best of luck, boys) for the South Korean army. Much like the behind the scenes shows and album accompaniments 'J-Hope In The Box' and 'Suga: Road To D-Day', also deep into Disney's hyped HYBE entertainment vault. And any fears of this BTS hiatus being permanent are alleviated with the guys singing each other's solo songs as they take this trip across the world and a map of their favourite memories.

Jimin jokes that World Cup anthem singer Jung Kook wants to be a YouTuber as he documents their span across the globe that we are all dreamers for. From taking silly selfies, to pictures of their fabulous food, the two J's are exactly like us, across America and back to their South Korean home and map of the Seoul. With cute captions, tittering translations and emoji and emoticon effects filtering through this show, offset by Mario like sound effects, this is like the best YouTube channel you watch...but with an even bigger budget. Fond, funny and with a real fantastic feeling, even when these guys are just lazing around and doing nothing, you feel like you're hanging out with them. Even V wanted to get in on this action that makes this show (about almost as nothing as 'Seinfeld') one of the freshest and most compelling of the calendar. 

Whether snowboarding in Sapporo, Japan, go-karting on Jeju Island, or lounging around on a yacht, like you know, we all do, these boys do it all...with, or without a paddle. Cooking, camping, canoeing. Riding through it all on the back of Kook's motorbike, the 'Muse' and 'Golden' hitmakers have chemistry every friendship would feel jealousy towards. It's their camaraderie that's the winning combination on this show that shows another step for BTS and the big hits they make across all entertainment platforms. It's a great travel guide, too, to some of the planet's picture perfect, postcard stamp spots. Reminding us, in this world of woe, that it's still a beautiful one. Especially when shared with the dear friends we hold closest. Are you sure you want to miss out on this? TIM DAVID HARVEY.

Further Filming: 'BTS - Monuments: Beyond The Star', 'BTS - Permission To Dance: Live In LA', 'Suga: Road To D-Day'.
