There's an interview that Ed Sheeran did with Howard Stern in which he said that when he, Taylor, Jacknife Lee and Gary Lightbody got together to write Everything Has Changed and The Last Time in May 2012, Taylor was dating someone. Ed respectfully did not say who Taylor was dating, but then Jacknife Lee talked about those days as well and he candidly spilled the beans, saying that Taylor was seeing Harry Styles at the time 💀
“When I first met Taylor I was in a relationship and she was in a relationship and we just formed a friendship through that," he said. "And both our relationships ended and we just carried on being friends. There's nothing I really want more than friendship there. I know her very very well now and she knows me very very well.”
- Ed Sheeran to E! Online
“We met through Gary’s friendship with Ed Sheeran,” he recalls. “Taylor was a fan of Ed’s. They were on tour I think. Taylor came to Topanga. Body guards, big black car. We wrote a song in a couple of hours and sang it sitting on the sofa. She had a handheld microphone. Then we had pasta for dinner and hung around with my kids. “She left and I finished the song off. Owen Pallett [Arcade Fire/Final Fantasy] did some strings very quickly. It was out of my field of expertise and interest, but I was intrigued and my girls were thrilled. Taylor was nice and very professional. She knew what she wanted and there was no fucking about. She was seeing Harry Styles at the time, so he came to Topanga on her recommendation. She wrote a few songs with him, and it was the same thing – quick. But this time it was more directed by the management and label. They were after something specific. I wanted more acoustic and gentle, almost Americana, and they wanted bombast. They got what they wanted, and that was the extent of my foray into teen-pop territory. It was fun.”

REVIEW: The Beaches - Blame My Ex (2024)
THE BEACHES – Blame My Ex (2024 FACTOR) By now, everyone has heard the anthem “Blame Brett”, a song named for Jordan Miller’s ex, Brett Emmons of the Glorious Sons.   While we don’t have Brett’s side of the story, from Jordan’s POV, the relationship is to blame for the following “wild” phase.  “So sorry in advance, before you take off you pants, I wouldn’t let me near your friends, I wouldn’t let…

Les Amazones d’Afrique Album Review: Musow Danse
Tumblr media
(Real World)
BY JORDAN MAINZER
On their 3rd album Musow Danse, supergroup Les Amazones d'Afrique hook up with legendary producer Jacknife Lee and delve into wider swaths of music of the African diaspora. What started as the collective (of shifting membership) playing the kora as a message of metaphorical defiance against traditional West African music-based gender roles, is now something that finds its power in more contemporary styles. Their voices and statements of solidarity blend swimmingly with rubbery synths, syncopated handclaps, skittering arpeggios, and hip hop drums.
Yes, Musow Danse features everything you loved in the first place about Les Amazones d'Afrique, from pure funk to their mind-boggling ability to bounce between multiple languages on one song. But this time around, each song feels like its own composition that can stand alone just as well as it ties in with the other songs on the record. The two that feature the majority of the group are immediate standouts. The opening title track presents the vocals of Fafa Ruffino, Mamani Keïta, Kandy Guira, and Dobet Gnahoré, chanting in unison, "Rise up, African woman" and expelling vocal trills, against a driving beat and panning distortion. "Kuma Fo (What They Say)", meanwhile, sports a similar mix between the tactile and the atmospheric, hand percussion rolling alongside meaty hip hop beats and screeching synthesizers. "Flaws" is already one of the best pure pop songs of 2024, Keïta and Ruffino paying tribute to the imperfections that make us ourselves, alongside some club-ready 808s. And new member Alvie Bitemo shows off her vocal range on "Mother Murakoze" and "Amahoro (Don't Get Angry"), intense and throaty in comparison to the abstract, glassy synthesizers and upbeat drumline snares.
In speaking about Musow Danse, Ruffino mentioned that Lee, despite not knowing the various languages sung on the album, was able to feel the spirit of the words. Though it's likely impossible for the average listener to hold a similarly intimate connection, experiencing the record is still an exercise in deep listening, an appreciation of contrast not just as a sonic tool but as an emphasis on the innate worth of each individual voice. On album closer "Bobo Me", Nneka's atmospheric falsetto nestles between the depth of Keïta's stop-starts. Gnahoré's upfront vocal subsumes the circular rhythms of "Kiss Me" and the deliberate, yet shifting tempo of "My Place". With Les Amazones d'Afrique, there's room for it all, the bigger the tent, the more powerful the music.

I just don't get why some people are saying that Jacknife Lee lied? He literally said that the songs which Harry and Taylor wrote were done days after The Last Time, which was written on the 29th of May? And some people don't believe that they were written in the spring of 2012? But like... They were?? Because the producer said they were??? If you're gonna call someone a liar, at least provide some receipts instead of being like "lol fake"

Life´s too short for weird music - Tagesempfehlung 04.08.2023
Lol Tolhurst, Budgie and Jacknife Lee / Los Angeles (feat. James Murphy)
Eine wahrlich seltsame Kollaboration führt zu einem interessanten Ergebnis: Der Ex- The Cure Drummer Lol Tolhurst hat sich mit Budgie von Siouxsie and the Banshees und James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem) zusammengetan. Herausgekommen ist das Stück Los Angeles, was ja auch perfekt zu meinem anstehenden US Westcoast-Urlaub passt.

The final LPs that were not intended as such rarely give us a glimpse into a potential departure that is just around the corner, they are basically understood as business as usual. For instance, R.E.M. shocked me with their decision to stop. While they apparently did plan to end with Collapse Into Now – they said so themselves – , one could foresee a future, where they continue to release their records at the elder statesmen everyone's familiar with, yet few pay attention to. To be honest, R.E.M. were like this for the last couple of albums, yet they still had a cachet of their past. However, they always seemed like a band on the constant move, so the last phase probably suffocated them – were the times actually telling them to quit?
