I’ve written before about Nneka, and I guess the appreciation has never worn down. The first time I heard anything by her was at this tiny gig she played in Brighton. I’d had the shittiest week, so I took the train down to see a friend who dragged me along despite my misgivings. “Come”, she said, “you’ll like her”. She was right. … Continue Reading

While we were watching Rihanna faux-frigging herself in her latest promo, Speech Debelle quietly crept in and stole ALL THE TALENT.
