Fka Twigs

As the new year brought with it a swath of new releases, Years & Years reached number one with Night Call, Young T & Bugsey dropped Truth Be Told and George Ezra released his comeback single - Anyone For You. The Wombats told us to Fix Yourself, Not The World, Ella Henderson sang of being Brave and Twin Atlantic, unlike the PM, gave us Transparency. Whilst Charli XCX, Doja Cat, Central Cee, Blossoms, Charlie Puth and Maverick Sabre (among many others) were setting the airwaves and streaming sites alight a distraught Adele caused a storm when she announced at the 11th hour that she would not be able to fulfil her Las Vegas residency dates. Tears were also shed as it was announced that Meat Loaf had passed away on January 20th. Following the sad announcement of his death, three of his albums re-charted in the top 30, including his seminal 1977 release Bat Out Of Hell. January also brought us some great new albums and we've hand picked our favourite five for you here.

As 2022 begins and New Year's resolutions are made, and just as quickly broken, the first batch of eagerly awaited new musical releases are set to arrive to delight our ears. After a festive fill of Ed Sheeran, Elton John, Jona Lewie, Mariah Carey, Slade, Wizzard, Wham and even The Pogues it's almost a relief to know that there's something fresh on the horizon. 2021 was an incredible year for new music with standout releases from the likes of Billie Eilish, Lana Del Rey, Little Simz, Olivia Rodrigo, Halsey, Arlo Parks, Tyler the Creator and Nick Cave but 2022 looks set to be just as exciting with new music expected from The Weekend, Mitski, Cardi B, Lizzo, Alt-J, Arctic Monkeys, Avril Lavigne and breakthrough band Wet Leg. Whilst those releases are not expected just yet (we'll have to wait a little longer until we have confirmed release dates) there are plenty of new albums due out in January and the following are the pick of the bunch.

Years & Years - Night Call.

We're ready to say goodbye to 2019 now that Christmas is over, but not without reflecting on what has been a wonderful year for the world of music. Whether your a pop lover or you prefer the rock world, whether rap is your life or dance is in your blood, this was a transformative year for sound. Here are the top 10 greatest albums of the last twelve months. 

1. Billie Eilish - When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?
Best song: Bad Guy

Without doubt the most sonically extraordinary album of this year, 18-year-old Billie Eilish's debut album 'When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?' has united both pop lovers and alternative listeners thanks to its experimental yet infectious ethos. It's naive yet poignant, fun yet deeply unsettling with themes of bravado, drugs, love, climate change and heartbreak woven throughout the poetic lyrics. There's no-one quite like Billie.

This year has marked quite an explosive end to a decade in terms of music, as we appear to be looking at a future of young musicians doing exactly what they want, how they want, while many long-established artists have refused to compromise their sound to stay relevent. The result is some seriously unapologetic and infectious tunes that will stay on our playlists for a long time to come.

1. Bad Guy - Billie Eilish

She's released without doubt our favourite album of the year with 'When We All Fall Asleep Where Do We Go?' at the age of just 17, and it's almost impossible to pick any one single to talk about here. 'Bad Guy' however is an example of how pop doesn't have to be the stereotypical sound you're used to hearing, because Billie Eilish has seriously changed the way we think about chart music.

Hollywood star Shia LaBeouf and actress Mia Goth are calling it quits after two years of marriage, reportedly filing for divorce this month.

A representative for 32 year old LaBeouf apparently told Entertainment Tonight that he and Goth has decided to split. The source also added that the decision had been made mutually and amicably, and that all details will be kept private.

The news comes the same week as that the Daily Mail speculated that there may be new romance in the air for LaBeouf, as he was snapped stepping out with British R&B star FKA Twigs. Real name Tahliah Debrett Barnett, twigs had previously been engaged to Twilight star Robert Pattinson, but called off their wedding late last year. She and LaBeouf are starring together in his upcoming new film Honey Boy.

Award winning singer FKA Twigs has said that her “confidence as a woman was knocked” as she revealed laparoscopic surgery to have six fibroid tumours removed from her uterus.

The 30 year old British star, real name Tahliah Debrett Barnett, took to Instagram to open up at length about the struggles she experience following the surgery, which she says she underwent in December.

Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the womb, normally during a woman’s reproductive years, which around a third of women are believed to experience at some point in their lives.

Actor Robert Pattinson and singer FKA Twigs have reportedly called time on their engagement and split up.

The Twilight star, 31, met the 29 year old London-born singer, real name Tahliah Barnett, three years ago and the two enjoyed a whirlwind romance, becoming engaged within six months in April 2015.

For the most part, barring a couple of high-profile red carpet events they’ve attended together, they’ve kept their relationship private. However, things reportedly petered out between them and they “no longer worked as a couple”, with Pattinson apparently the one to call things off.

They're hardly the most public of couples, but that doesn't mean that Robert Pattinson and FKA Twigs aren't still going strong. In fact, the actor has confessed that they are even engaged - in some way at least - though he's still very cautious about discussing their relationship.

'The Lost City of Z' star has revealed that he is 'kind of' engaged to his girlfriend of nearly three years FKA Twigs, though the pair are rarely seen in public together. It's no wonder either, with the kind of scrutiny his love life has been under since he was with 'Twilight' co-star Kristen Stewart. He confesses that he wishes he could be more open about it, however.

The Mobo Awards have been a triumph for British rap and grime artists, as Stormzy and Krept & Konan both took home two awards at the ceremony in Leeds last night.

London MC Stormzy became the first winner of the newly created category of Best Grime Act, rounding off a year that’s seen him emerge onto the radar of the mainstream. Around 12 months ago, he was named on the BBC’s Sound of 2015 poll and became the first unsigned rapper to perform on ‘Later with Jools Holland’.

Significantly, he also won Best Male Act, beating out the likes of Mark Ronson and more established names like JME and Skepta.
