Above is a muddied amalgam of the artwork to each of our freshly completed Tracks of 2012 rundown , dubiously fangled on a newly acquired and equally dodgy copy of Photoshop, and below is our ongoing attempt to grapple with the finer intricacies of musical technologies. It's the first, and could well be the last Spotify playlist I ever so painstakingly compile, and it features our every entry (or rather the 28 that, at the time of writing, were hooked up to their mainframe, or whatever the correct technical term would be for that). That our topspot is in [...]

Se unió al cantante Bobby Womack en un show en el Notting Hill Arts Club. El show fue anunciado a través de la cuenta de Twitter del sello de Womack, [...]

Ain't it always the way? Follow where Damon leads, and not only do you oft find yourself penned in against a nearby HSBC storefront by his customary array of Albarn-alikes, but they that impatiently await anxiously chatter of rare Blur tour tees and other inessential memorabilia. At least it's nowhere near gelid enough for it to be blue-lipped natter, as it's remarkably mild for an October eve way out west in the revered cultural polymath's native endz. Going against the grain, however, although there may be many here to fawn over Albarn he's not exactly the figurehead of what has [...]

Releasing his first proper studio album in almost two decades, soul and R&B legend, Bobby Womack, is back in the limelight with a stunningly modern album, its quality matching, and in some cases, surpassing his best work. The Bravest Man in the Universe is a collaboration between the XL label’s Richard Russell and the Gorillaz’s Damon Albarn (whose 2010 album, Plastic Beach , Womack made a guest appearance on.) The 68 year old singer’s world weary voice and unique personality carry the record, which is not to say that there isn’t some electrifying music backing him, no [...]

Bobby Womack - The Bravest Man In The Universe By Olly Douglas Here, the last living soul legend has set the bar once more with his first new material in over 18 years, but not in the way you’d expect. It seems The Bravest Man In The Universe is symbolic of a wound that is slowly healing; Bobby Womack’s broken voice acting as the coagulant between his often blurry and traumatic past, and his openness to exploring new musical avenues. [...]

The idea of the tortured artist is a cliché. But aren’t clichés mostly true? Bobby Womack is truly a tortured artist, for he is an artist who has been tortured- by circumstance, by things out of his control. When a young Womack quit singing gospel in favor of pop music, Womack’s father, disgraced by his son’s secular conversion, kicked him out of the house. Womack retreated to California. Then, in 1976, Womack’s son Truth died as an infant. Womack coped through cocaine, an addiction he discussed in his biography, I’m a Midnight Mover . Womack would later [...]
