“I was born to perform,” proclaims Jarvis Cocker during Spike Island, the electrifying opener of Pulp’s first album in 24 years. The Sheffield accent and gasps of excitement and arousal remain, and judging by 2023’s run of reunion shows, so do the convulsive dance moves. ‘More’ offers everything you could want from the Britpop legends and, well, more.

On June 23, 2023, Tor Maries played to the biggest crowd of her career at Glastonbury. Just three days later, she was asking the BBC to delete the footage of her performance from socials and stating that there would not be any more live shows from Billy Nomates, a project that had sparked into life in 2020 off the back of some perfectly-observed post-punk social commentary. “It’s fucking weird to wake up in the morning and have Steve from wherever-the-fuck go, ‘Somebody shoot this white trash’,” Maries reflects.

Some 15 years on from her emergence with ‘The Family Jewels’, Marina Diamandis is still thriving on ‘Princess of Power’, a record that explores what power really means for a woman in the music industry, with chamber-pop, new wave and electro folded into songs that are influenced by ABBA as much as they are by Kylie Minogue.

TURNSTILE have announced The Never Enough Tour.

“Can’t a girl just have fun?” Addison Rae asks during Money is Everything, an almost-ambient interlude close to the top of her debut album that pointedly places style over substance. The answer, if these 12 songs are anything to go by, is yes. But for her listeners, the truth is more complicated.
