The Flaming Lips Join WILDES on New Single ‘True Love (Make Me Believe)’

WILDES, the moniker of London singer-songwriter Ella Walker, has enlisted the Falming Lips for the new single ‘True Love (Make Me Believe)’. It’s set to appear on her forthcoming debut album Other Words Fail Me, which lands this Friday, January 13 via AWAL. Check it out below.

“This past year has been full of pinch-me moments, but today, releasing ‘True Love feat. The Flaming Lips’ is certainly one of the biggest,” Walker said in a press statement. “I wanted to add this final song to the album as an ode to self love and radical acceptance of yourself, no matter who you are, or what you have experienced. Never in a million years would I have believed The Flaming Lips would be the band to help bring this song to life – so thank you to the band, for bringing vivid technicolour to this rainbow of a song.”

Other Words Fail Me was produced by St Francis Hotel, who is known for his work with Michael Kiwanuka, Greentea Peng, and Little Simz. “It was a name I’d had for quite a while in my head, but the album really grew into the name – it became a lot more symbolic than I ever intended, as writing this album was the only way I could safely and honestly talk about what was going on at the time,” Walker explained. “I quite literally didn’t have any other words to describe it other than the lyrics in these songs.”

Total Downer Release New Song ‘Taylor Lautner’

Cleveland power-pop band Total Downer have dropped ‘Taylor Lautner’, the latest preview of their forthcoming album Caretaker. The LP, out January 27 via Just Because, was led by the single ‘Star Rek’t’. Listen to the new track below.

“I was in middle school when Twilight came out and thought it was perfectly normal that everyone thirsted for Taylor Lautner’s body,” vocalist Andy Schumann said in a statement. “‘But now as an adult, it makes me sick that all these older Hollywood execs made this 18 year old appear shirtless against his will. But even despite this reckoning and intellectualizing, in the deepest recesses of my brain, Taylor Lautner’s body is still a goal & I would do many things to get that swole.”

4 Must-Have Tops For 2023

The new year makes you want to reinvent yourself and rethink your style. Staying on top of the latest trends provides you with the inspiration you need to create a new look for yourself!

Which Shop Justice tops must you simply have for 2023?

Keep reading as we explore the best-trending tops for your style revolution in the new year!

Tie-Dye Tops

If you’re looking to catch a ride on the wave of 70s and 80s fashion, then tie-dye tops might just be the thing you need. A tie-dye top can help you to create the following looks for your new-you wardrobe:

  • Surfer chick – beachy looks aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. If you want to get that surfer chick look for 2023, style your tie-dye sweater or t-shirt with a pair of bicycle shorts and some classic sliders. Add some cool woven bracelets, and you’re a beachy babe!
  • The 70s and 80s hippie look – vintage fashion is reviving the looks of the 70s and 80s. Try pairing your tie-dye mock neck top with a pair of bell bottoms, and voila!
  • Casual cool-girl – a tie-dye top can help you to emulate effortless style for your casual days. If you pair a tie-dye top with your favorite leggings or joggers, you’ll feel relaxed and breezy on your chill days.

Simple And Basic Tops

Who said fashion couldn’t be minimalist and trendy? You can always rely on simple and basic tops if you want to create a tidy, neat look that doesn’t distract from your face. They look great on everyone while enhancing natural beauty.

 You can wear simple and basic tops with bike shorts, jeans, leggings, joggers, or skirts. And can tie in with any bold patterns to create a cohesive outfit. Don’t underestimate the value of minimalist clothing designs!

Color Block Hoodies

Color block hoodies are the perfect top for girls looking to get the athleisure look. You can wear your color block hoodie anywhere, and it’ll go with your jeans, sports leggings, or even a pair of bike shorts.

Color block hoodies are minimal-looking but have that pop of color to make your outfit more interesting. You can pair them with pants that match the shade for a well-thought fit. Put your hair in a low bun, get your most trendy sneakers on, and you’ll look trendy!

Plaid Button-Up Tops

The plaid button-up top is an excellent choice if you’re laid-back and like to wear loose and artsy outfits. The more oversized you go, the more you’ll get that artistic vibe. Comforting and classic plaid looks good on everyone!

Pop on your oversized plaid top, plenty of rings, a messy bun, and your glasses – and boom! You’re all artsy-chic!

Final Thoughts

Reinventing your style is fun – and the start of a new year is the perfect time to do it. New year, new you! What will your style be like in 2023? Will you go for the 70s look, a more toned-down look, the athleisure look, or messy and artsy? Find the new you and try out these styles.

Dan Croll Announces New Album ‘Fools’, Releases New Song ‘Slip Away’

Dan Croll has announced his next album, Fools, with the new single ‘Slip Away’. The follow-up to 2020’s Grand Plan comes out on May 19 via Communion Records. Check out ‘Slip Away’ below, and scroll down for the album’s cover artwork and tracklist.

Fools finds Dan Croll stepping into the role of co-producer alongside Spacebomb’s Matthew E. White. “This album came at the end of a turbulent few years for me with the isolation of covid, a break-up, and the homesickness for all that I left behind to move to America,” Croll explained in a statement. “But whilst these were all challenging moments there were some moments of beauty and resilience that allowed me to get through it all. These songs document that tumultuous period that not only I but I’m sure a lot of others went through in what can only be described as a challenging moment in time.”

“I decided to go back once more to Richmond, Virginia, to work with Matthew E. White and the incredible musicians there,” he continued. “Each time I’ve been back I feel we grow and understand each other more and more, and there was a particular ease in capturing these songs that I hope comes through in the record.”

Commenting on ‘Slip Away’, he added:

I recently hit my five-year milestone of living in Los Angeles, and ‘Slip Away’ is about the fatigue and struggle I’ve felt over the past year. It’s frequently had me questioning how realistic it is to carry on living here, and whether draining my savings, living without healthcare, and being so far away from home/family is really worth it. I found myself on occasions fantasising about throwing in the towel and slipping away into a much simpler life, a life possibly even outside of the music industry. Having been in music my entire adult life, a part of me has wondered whether I could ever exist outside of it. A 9-to-5 job has always been something I’ve seen from the outside looking in, and to me, the structure and steadiness have always been so attractive. ‘Slip Away’ is about the lure of escaping to a simpler existence.

Everything But the Girl Detail New Album ‘Fuse’, Share New Song ‘Nothing Left to Lose’

Everything But the Girl have revealed the details of their comeback album Fuse. The band’s first studio album in 24 years is set to arrive on April 21 (via Virgin Music), and today, Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn have shared the album’s first single, ‘Nothing Left to Lose’. Check it out along with the album cover and tracklist below.

“Ironically the finished sound of the new album was the last thing on our mind when we started in March 2021,” Thorn explained in a press release. “Of course, we were aware of the pressures of such a long-awaited comeback, so we tried to begin instead in a spirit of open-minded playfulness, uncertain of the direction, receptive to invention’.

Watt added: “It was exciting. A natural dynamism developed. We spoke in short-hand, and little looks, and co-wrote instinctively. It became more than the sum of our two selves. It just became Everything But the Girl on its own.”

“After so much time apart professionally, there was both a friction and a natural spark in the studio when we began,” Tracey said. ‘However much we underplayed it at the start, it was like a fuse had been lit. And it ended in a kind of coalescence, an emotional fusion. It felt very real and alive’.

Daughter Announce New Album ‘Stereo Mind Game’, Release New Song

Daughter have announced their first studio album in seven years. The follow-up to 2016’s Not to Disappear and the 2017 video game soundtrack Music from Before the Storm is called Stereo Mind Game, and it will arrive on April 7. The trio of Elena Tonra, Igor Haefeli, and Remi Aguilella have today released the album’s lead single, ‘Be On Your Way’, alongside a video courtesy of Tiff Pritchett. Check it out below and scroll down for the LP’s cover art (by Kasper Florio) and tracklist.

In a note posted on the band’s website, Tonra described ‘Be On Your Way’ as “a story of love (of course), and of time, distance, missing and letting go. I have been trying to learn across the past few years to value the present moment more. I used to mourn the goodbye of a relationship before it had ended, and that created an overwhelming feeling of fear around loving someone. So i’m trying to be more accepting that things will last for the time they last for. To fully appreciate all the beautiful connections as they enter, and leave, my life.”
