'90s teenagers becoming tastemakers

yeah i was thinking about that with ware
90s teen tastemakers but also but 90s proto-thirtysomethings recognising a familiar port in a baffling storm (ware big on 6music), plus pious mirage of integrity for the adele crowd, plus the endless pointless gleaming simulacra of uk bass music's koolhaasian junkspace

jess mills is another who released a few singles along these lines last year - months later i discover she's...tessa jowell's daughter
(and - this is minutiae that probably only i remember - but back in the day i interviewed akala, and he talked about the school he'd gone to, and how it was a mix of social types &c &c &c, and in fact his sister ms dynamite's best friend was tessa jowell's daughter, and a jigsaw piece fell into place)

true enough about britpride but will this be the last time i have to take issue with your stalinist foregrounding of katy b as progenitor? not that i wouldnt like it to be true but her influence is peripheral at best, seriously

all i know about delilah is that at one point last month she had three different versions of "breathe" on the radio at the same time and it was very confusing

i am really excited about this album. at first i also thought "go" might have been 'accidentally great' but i really enjoy almost everything i have heard from her so far. when is it out?

'Go' was one of my favourite tracks from last year. Glad to hear that the album is (a) good and (b) in the same vein.
Thanks, lex!

burnt by the emeli sandé album
Yeah, mad disappointed in that. I liked Delilah's first two tracks, so I'll have to hunt her album down.
