Singer/songwriter Anastasia Dimou moved from NYC to Texas a few years back and formed Feathers in 2011 and began, if the album ‘If All Here Now’ is anything to go by, a virtual odyssey of songwriting.

Music | CL ‘The Baddest Female’ MV
Music & FilmAfter months and months of speculation and the fans’ guesswork, 2NE1 leader CL brings out her first solo effort, ‘The Baddest Female’ .
Music | Naughty Boy Interview
Music & FilmNaughty Boy, aka Shahid Khan, is the man behind one of the songs of the year (yes, it’s a big claim) ‘La La La’ featuring the vocal talents of Sam Smith. The 27 year old producer, briefly a Business and Marketing student, turned his back on university and chose to focus on music.
Music | Katy B returns
Music & FilmHard to believe Katy B is still only one album in such is her presence on the British music scene. Last year’s ‘Danger’ EP showed a more grown up Katy and the smooth dark dance beats of her collab with Jessie Ware on the acclaimed ‘Aaliyah’ has trickled over into her new offering ‘What Love Is Made Of’.
Music | Dizzee + Robbie Williams
Music & FilmWho HASN’T been waiting for this collaboration since the dawn of music? It’s beyond us how they managed to avoid falling into a studio together from the outset, except, well, maybe it’s not such a bad idea after all.
Music | MS MR Interview
Music & FilmNew York’s MS MR are Lizzy Plapinger and Max Hershenow and they’re about to let loose their debut album ‘Secondhand Rapture’ on an audience that has trailed them through the duo’s enforced anonymity, ploughed through the hype as the “US answer to Florence and the Machine”, and waded out to the other side to the sweetened darkness of their music and the accompanying visuals.
‘Hurricane’ and ‘Fantasy’ have caught the eyes and ears of critics and audience alike; swathes of atmospheric electronica and Lizzy’s teasing haunting vocals accompany glitter-vomiting cheerleaders and blue body paint. Welcome to eye opening world of MS MR… bizarre tumblr images, wild weather and all.
Music | Dizzee Rascal ‘H-Town’
Music & FilmDizzee Rascal seems to have been away for a really long time but his fifth studio album – (imaginatively) entitled ‘The Fifth’ – is just around the corner for a summer release. The debut track, ‘H-Town’, can be heard (but not yet seen) below, featuring hip hop legend and godfather of the dirty South, Bun-B and Houston’s king of the streets Trae The Truth.
Music | Union J ‘Carry You’ video
Music & FilmCan you hear the whooshing sound of a million panties falling down? Must be the arrival of Union J’s debut video for ‘Carry You’.
Music | MONSTA Interview
Music & FilmSometimes the journey is as interesting as the outcome and MONSTA definitely fill that ideology. As a trio – comprising of vocalist Skaar, and producers Rocky and Rufio – they have come to prominence only recently as signings to Skrillex’s OWSLA label (and now a joint deal between OWSLA and Interscope), and the insanely huge, magnificent barrage of soul and dubstep that is ‘Holdin’ On’.
Music | Rudimental ‘Baby’ (ft MNEK)
Music & FilmFresh off having a UK #1 with ‘Waiting All Night’, Rudimental, the London 4 piece, release a video for this gorgeous album track ‘Baby’ as great big old tease for the debut album.
Music | The 1975 ‘The City’ video
Music & FilmThe 1975 are simply rolling them out. ‘The City’ follows the very successful breakthrough single ‘Chocolate’ as the band continues to raise its profile as one of the major new names for 2013.
Music | MS MR Hurricane
Music & FilmThe video for their beautiful single Hurricane came out the other week and it’s a pastel coloured road trip into a slightly surreal urban fantasy where everyone’s hidden parts become externalised. Sometimes very goopily indeed.
Music | Is Tropical ‘Dancing Anymore’
Music & FilmCall it a blatant attempt to rack up views or some rather refreshing music video making, but Is Tropical’s team up with Megaforce will have you talking. Just a quick NSFW tip: don’t watch this video at work unless your work mates are very chilled.
