Anita Gabrielle Releases EP to Raise Funds for Parkinson’s

Singer songwriter and activist Anita Gabrielle has experienced her fair share of struggles and obstacles during her music career; from being a woman, being gay, and now being a little bit older in the industry, she finds her opportunities to be limited – but this does not stop her from powering through!

The latest EP – Just Neat – was inspired by her brother who is suffering with Parkinson’s Disease, released with the aim to raise money and awareness for the assistance of others living with the condition.

With her brother being the inspiration behind her picking up a guitar and writing music in the late 60’s, this was a beautiful ode to their relationship.

Gabrielle even recruited the help of Grammy Award Winning Amy Wadge (best known for songwriting collaborations with Ed Sheeran), who plays pianos and sings on the EP.

The EP has a brilliantly soft relatability about it, touching on topics that pretty much everyone around the globe must be fee..

A novelist, journalist, screenwriter, poet and singer-songwriter, now Franki Pineapple can add corporation revolutionary to her accolades, which is a heavily present motif in her new single ‘F*** It Man’.

Labelled an anti-establishment anthem, upon listening to the song it seems like Ms Pineapple is trying to find herself not only as an artist but as a person.

The slow building but edgy undertones keeps fans on edge, constantly waiting for a burst of energy and fire to rock out too. Combining Punk rage and the iconic EDM sound wraps the track up into rebellious perfection.

However, her biggest win to date comes from battling Apple Inc over her name.

“Apple brought a compromise settlement to the table which I felt deep in my soul would limit me in ways I simply could not sign on for. I had done nothing wrong; I had infringed on Apple in no way; all I had done was put my heart and soul into the creation of something cool which represented peaceful rebellion; I knew ..

The Beautiful Reality of Beautiful Trauma

One of my absolute all time favourite music videos is Beautiful Trauma by P!nk. The song and video accompany each other so well, whilst the video tells a depressing and all too familiar story for some people.

Starring P!nk herself, and heartthrob Channing Tatum, the video features incredible costume, inspired from the pinup 60s housewife aesthetic. Throughout the whole video, the colour co-ordination matches perfectly, to the outfits and also the emotion being expressed in the video. Overall, extremely satisfying to look at.

The story behind the video is a lot more intriguing. I feel like it has one strong message about the unfortunate reality of abusive relationships, and how men should give their more “feminine side” a chance, be more emotional and feel things from their female counterparts side.

In the video, we are introduced to a simple but unfortunate story – the husband and wife who are clearly unhappy. He is drinking to get through the day, she is taking her pills to get thr..

Tom Boniface-Webb’s ‘Modern Music Masters: The Britpop Trilogy’ is a contextual deep-dive into Britain’s favourite bands

It’s not just music reviews here, we’re coming at you with a book recommendation today. New Zealand based author Tom Boniface-Webb has released his overtly insightful trio of Britpop books “Modern Music Masters – The Britpop Trilogy: Oasis, Blur and Pulp”.

Written back at the beginning of lockdown in March 2020 – and then released later in 2020 – the series delivers content of what was going on in the world at the time that these three Britpop legends were at their peak.

Touching on subjects such as how the bands were formed and on the contextual history behind album production , the insight offered into each group is captivating and a must-read.

“There are few [music books] that have such a focus on the charts as well,” states Boniface-Webb. “Each release is put alongside what else was in the top 10 that week. As well as a historical document of the time, these books are a total nostalgia fest for those there the first time around.”

Easy-reading and accessible, this is a series..

Franki Pineapple takes to the stage in true rock-star fashion with ‘F*** It Man’

An artist that’s already crammed more into her life than usual artists do, Franki Pineapple may be eccentric, but she’s one hell of an empowering musician. From her life as a screenwriter, novelist and journalist to at present a punk rock singer-songwriter and voice of a generation, Franki’s ‘F*** It Man‘ is turning heads all across the globe.

A truthful artist that’s completely authentic, Franki Pineapple is a name that everyone should know. With a logo created by none other than John Pasche who had years earlier designed the iconic ‘lips and tongue’ logo for the Rolling Stones, everything was going to plan, until Apple Inc sued her.

“Apple brought a compromise settlement to the table which I felt deep in my soul would limit me in ways I simply could not sign on for. I had done nothing wrong; I had infringed on Apple in no way; all I had done was put my heart and soul into the creation of something cool which represented peaceful rebellion; I knew I could not back down and so I dec..
