New Music Friday: Aplin & Nesbitt want Bono back

  • January 3, 2020
  • Peter Robinson

Notes on this week's new releases:

  • Gabrielle Aplin and Nina Nesbitt, in many (no) ways the Beyoncé and Lady Gaga of post-major label streaming success, today deliver their Telephone. Miss You 2 is a rework of Gabrielle's 2016 song Miss You and while a new version of Waking Up Slow might have been 7% more spec­tac­u­lar today's single hits the spot nicely.
  • Justin Bieber has delivered — as part of the first track from his new album — the line "bonafide stallion, it ain't no stable, no, you stay on the run". (This song is not very good.)
  • The sleeve for Pet Shop Boys' Monkey Business features a staircase but it's not the staircase.
  • The year is 2020 and Foo Fighters are still at it.
