    Review: Kanye West, Andre 3000 – ‘Life of the Party’

    2021 has been a strange year for Kanye West. His marital troubles, mental health issues and album rollout methods have all been concerning and received intense media coverage.

Seemingly moving away from their usual electronic tones and indie musings, singer Joe Newman instead channels a folk feel, utilising single-layered acoustic guitar and piano throughout the track with warm and gentle vocals, evoking a reminiscence of […]

Led by Chris Thile, as effervescent a player as ever, the group now set their sights on a covers […]
