BY Jordan CurriePublished Jul 11, 20248What's considered a "big idea"? According to Remi Wolf, "love, lust, anger, fantasies, harsh realities, vices, low lows and high highs" are the ones worth writing big songs about. And the Palo Alto-born singer's music certainly is big. Her 2021 debut Juno burst onto the scene with its kaleidoscopic colours and Wolf's lion roar of a voice, her musings on pandemic boredom, volcanos and Anthony Kiedis ringing larger than life.

As a child, Laufey always assumed that, if she ever decided to pursue music professionally, she'd play cello in an orchestra. Growing up in a musical family in Reykjavík, her mother a classical violinist for the Iceland Symphony Orchestra and her twin sister also a violinist, it felt like a natural progression to follow in her mother's footsteps.

BY Jordan CurriePublished Apr 11, 20247Over the last few years, Nia Archives has been pushing the boundaries of what jungle can be. From sharing her early songs and remixes during her SoundCloud days in 2019 to releasing her Headz Gone West, Forbidden Feelingz and Sunrise Bang Ur Head Against tha Wall EPs in the following years, the 24-year-old Bradford-born artist has already covered plenty of ground as a producer, DJ and singer-songwriter in a relatively short timespan.

Ah, Valentine’s Day. Whether you’re sharing this day with a partner (or more than one!), with friends or you’re spending it alone, it’s hard to deny that love is in the air. But what about when you need to express that love to someone else? In 2024, a simple “I love you” isn’t good enough, nor is that dollar store card and bag of Hershey’s kisses. No, the best way to celebrate Valentine’s Day is to filter your love through the long-lasting lens of very specific queer pop cultural references.

New year, new Tune-Up column! We at Xtra took a wee break over the holidays, so my column wasn’t published at the end of the month as per usual. But the start of 2024 doesn’t mean we should move on too quickly from the amazing queer music that came out in December. Let’s simultaneously kick off the new year and look back on the past couple of weeks with an ethereal shoegaze single from body / negative, a bluesy folk song from Joanna Sternberg and some glitzy femme pop/rap from Reneé Rapp.
