Pulp’s ‘More’ Is a Master-Class Comeback Record
Image
It’s been almost a quarter century since Pulp’s last album. But the Sheffield, England band — who disbanded after releasing 2001’s We Love Life, reunited to tour in 2011 and again in 2023 — are back with More. The band’s eighth full-length builds on Pulp’s legacy of indie-disco bangers like 1995’s “Common People” and mini-epics like the title track to 1998’s bummer ride This Is Hardcore. It’s technically a reunion album, but it’s not asking the question “do you remember the first time?” as much as it is wondering what happens next,...

It’s the Perfect Time For a Pulp Reunion
Image
It’s a comeback that fans have spent years praying for: the return of Pulp. Thirty years after Jarvis Cocker sang “Let’s all meet up in the year 2000,” the beloved Britpop band are finally back. Even after their wildly successful reunion tours in 2011 and 2022, nobody dared to hope for a new album from the band who made Nineties classics like Different Class and This Is Hardcore — until now. But their brilliant new album More is coming in June. “It’s 24 years since we did a record,” Cocker says. “Which mystifies me,...

Pulp Reveal Passionate New Song “Got to Have Love”: Stream
Image
Pulp have returned with the rollicking new song “Got to Have Love.” It’s the second offering from More, the English group’s first new album in 24 years, out on June 6th.

With dramatic strings, disco-lite backing vocals, and a snare-heavy drum beat courtesy of Nick Banks, “Got to Have Love” is Pulp’s passionate argument for loving ourselves and one another. “When love disappears, life disappears,” mutters Jarvis Cocker in earnest as the song’s patient bridge unfolds, eventually building to some cathartic instructions about acknowledging our implicit need for love.

“So learn to say it, whilst keeping a straight face. Yeah, say it, say it for once. It’s time to come to your senses, it’s time to wake up and face the consequences. What do you need? I’m asking you a question, every one of you without exception, what do you need?...

Steve Perry Rerecords Journey’s ‘Faithfully’ With Willie Nelson
Image
Over the past 30 years, Steve Perry has resisted practically all overtures to perform Journey classics onstage, whether as part of a solo tour or a reunion with the band. But on very select occasions, he has been willing to revisit the Journey catalog in the studio alongside a Mount Rushmore figure from the world of country music. It started in 2023 when he cut “Open Arms” with Dolly Parton, and now continues with a new version of Journey’s 1983 power ballad “Faithfully” that he recorded with Willie Nelson to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Farm Aid.

“No one has a voice or vocal phrasing anything like Willie Nelson,” stated Perry. “Singing this duet with Willie has been something I’ve always wanted to do. After recording ‘Faithfully’ with Journey, I always felt it would be a great song for Willie too. What a wonderful experience it was to finally sing with Willie. I’m so proud of what we have accomplished together.”

Nelson added, “Working with Steve Perry on ‘Faithfully’ was a meaningful experience. It was a pleasure to collaborate on this song.

Brit pop band Pulp have announced their first album in 24 years, More. While the Jarvis Cocker-led group has been intermittently active over the past quarter-century, including a magical reunion tour in 2024, they hadn’t released an album since 2001’s We Love Life. That will change on June 6 with the arrival of More.

“Yes: the first Pulp album for 24 years,” Cocker confirmed in a statement Thursday. “How did that happen? Well: when we started touring again in 2023, we practiced a new song called ‘Hymn of the North’ during soundchecks & eventually...

Pulp will return in June with More, their first new album of original material in almost 24 years. As a preview, the band has unveiled “Spike Island” as the first single. It’s streaming below.

As frontman Jarvis Cocker explained in a press release, the album began taking shape as Pulp was touring in 2023. “We practiced a new song called ‘Hymn of the North’ during soundchecks & eventually played it at the end of our second night at Sheffield Arena. This seemed to open the floodgates: we came up with the rest of the songs on this album during the first half of 2024. A couple are revivals of ideas from last century. The music for one song was written by Richard Hawley. The music for another was written by Jason Buckle. The Eno family sing backing vocals on a song. There are string arrangements written by Richard Jones & played by the Elysian Collective.

Let’s All Meet Up in the Year 2024: Why Pulp’s Reunion Tour Is Pure Brit-Pop Magic

“A concert is no good unless there’s some magic,” Jarvis Cocker told the crowd, soon after Pulp hit the stage in Brooklyn. “You react to us, we react to you — that summons the magic.” The Britpop gods reached New York last weekend, for two glorious nights, on their long-awaited North American reunion tour. Nearly everyone in the room had spent years praying for these shows, so both nights were full of that magic. “You are about to see the 555th concert by Pulp,” a message flashed on the video screen on Friday.

Pulp Unveil New Song “Background Noise” at Corona Capital Fest in Mexico: Stream
Image
Pulp’s reunion tour brought the beloved Britpop band to Mexico City for a headlining set at Corona Capital on Friday, where they unveiled a new song called “Background Noise.”

Frontman Jarvis Cocker introduced the new composition, and dedicated it to his girlfriend, who was watching from the audience. Carried by a string arrangement and the kind of introspective, spoken lyrics you’d expect from Pulp, the tune uses its verses to build into a thesis-presenting chorus: “Love turns into background noise/ Like this ringing in my ears/ Like the buzzing of the fridge/ You only notice when it disappears.”

Previously, Pulped played an unreleased song called “Hymn of the North” at a hometown show in Sheffield, England.

The reunion tour is Pulp’s first outing in over a decade, and now, with new music being teased, it’s possible that the band might be eyeing a return to recording.

Pulp kicked off their long-awaited 2023 “This is What We Do For an Encore Tour” at the Bridlington Spa in Bridlington, England on May 26th. The newly-reunited Britpop icons played a set full of fan favorites and deep cuts, marking their first show in a decade: “We are Pulp — I’ve not said that for quite a long time,” vocalist Jarvis Cocker greeted the packed crowd.

Cocker and company tore through the majority of their 1995 masterpiece Different Class, opening with “I Spy” and saving their smash “Common People” until their first of two encores. The set also included some highlights from 1994’s His N Hers like “Do You Remember the First Time?” and “Babies”; deeper cuts like “Weeds” and “Glory Days”; and their 2013 single “After You.”

“An encore happens when the crowd makes enough noise to bring the band back to the stage,” the band said in a statement announcing the reunion last October.

‘Like James Bond playing strip poker in a sex dungeon’: Pulp’s This is Hardcore at 25
Image
When you’ve stolen Glastonbury, defined an era, released the album of the decade and exploded Michael Jackson’s cheesy pop pomposity on the global stage, what exactly do you do for an encore? Such was the dilemma facing Jarvis Cocker – arch Britpop voyeur, poet laureate of the fumbled bra-strap and Jesus sandal, once memorably described as a cross between Alan Bennett and Barry White – as he sat in hotel rooms on the tour for 1995’s masterpiece Different Class. There he was, shrouded in the anonymous dark, watching pornographic films and relating deeply to the blankness in the eyes of the performers.

“I found it fascinating wondering what happened to these porn stars,” the frontman of Sheffield alt-legends Pulp – who reform for a run of major festival and arena shows this summer – told NME in 1998. “People have a voracious appetite for porn, they need to see new faces all the time,...

Chris Brown hurls fan’s phone off stage during live concert
Image
Chris Brown has addressed the recent incident in which he hurled a fan’s phone off stage at his Berlin concert.

On Monday (1 March) night, the singer brought a fan onstage during the performance of his 2007 hit song “Take You Down”.

In between verses, he proceeded to give the fan a lapdance.

However, throughout the performance, she was seen on her phone, presumably trying to record the experience.

At one point, Brown took the phone from her hands and placed it face down on her lap. Yet, as he continued to perform, she picked up her phone again.

Appearing annoyed that she wouldn’t get off her phone, he later snatched it from her hands and threw it into the crowd.

Hours after the incident went viral on social media, Brown weighed in on the moment himself.

Chris Brown said "I'm only gon tell you but one time"...

Succession teases kids’ alliance with all of Logan’s enemies in new season four trailer
Image
It’s a war of alliances in Succession season four.

The critically acclaimed series follows the backstabbing Roy family as they scheme their way to the top of the family’s global media empire.

Ahead of the comedy-drama’s final series premiere on 26 March, HBO released the official trailer, which teases rising tensions between Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Shiv (Sarah Snook) and Roman (Kieran Culkin) and their father Logan (Brian Cox).

After Logan ruthlessly cut off his children from the family’s global media empire at the end of season three, season four picks up right where things left off.

The trailer opens with Logan listing off his recent victories to his personal assistant. “I’ve got plenty on my plate,” he gloats.

It then cuts to the children scheming up a plan.

“We were cut out behind our backs,” Kendall tells his two siblings, before proposing partnerships with Logan’s...

The Sweet Meaning Behind Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's Hummingbird Christmas

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were birds of a feather this holiday season - hummingbirds, to be exact. In an On the JLo newsletter from Dec. 26, Lopez shared how the two shared their first Christmas together as a married couple, as well as the avian symbolism that inspired their decor. "I like to create a theme for every holiday. . . . To me, hummingbirds are messengers of love," Lopez explained. "They're very agile - can fly forward, backward, and up and down. They're also the fastest bird but they always have time to stop, eat something sweet and smell the roses. I identify with them, but more than anything, whenever I see one, I feel like it's a sign from God that everything is going to be Ok."

Having just written a song titled "Hummingbird" for her upcoming album, this seemed like the perfect theme to bring the couple's respective families together.

‘Pulp: a Film About Life, Death & Supermarkets’ will please fans, won’t make many new ones
Pulp: a Film About Life, Death & Supermarkets

Directed by Florian Habicht

UK, 2014

Perhaps the new documentary Pulp: a Film About Life, Death & Supermarkets is best summed up by Pulp’s frontman, Jarvis Cocker: “Life is a random process, but you can add narrative to it.” Director Florian Habicht tries to impose a narrative upon his mishmash of concert footage, band interviews, and fan testimonials, but it never coalesces. Ultimately, some top-notch concert cinematography, a few intriguing visuals, and Cocker’s delightful cheekiness make this a must-see for Pulp fans, and a must-skip for general audiences.

Sometimes, you can go home again. After taking an impromptu nine-year hiatus in the 2000s, the seminal alt-rock band Pulp re-assembled in 2011 to “tidy things up.” The ensuing European tour culminates with one last electrifying performance in the band’s hometown of Sheffield. Interviews with band members make it clear that, despite...

Sheffield Doc/Fest enjoys biggest opening night ever
Pulp: A Film About Life, Death & Supermarkets (2014)
The 21st edition of Sheffield Doc/Fest kicked off last night with the European premiere of Florian Habicht’s documentary Pulp: A Film About Life, Death And Supermarkets, about Britpop band Pulp.

It was one of three opening films being screened in Sheffield last night, together with Rehad Desai’s South African documentary Miners Shot Down and Thomas Balmes’ Bhutan set documentary Happiness.

With over 3,000 tickets sold across the events, it was the biggest opening night in Doc/Fest’s history.

The Pulp screening took place at Sheffield’s City Hall and was broadcast to 120 cinemas around the UK, including the BFI Southbank.

Speaking to the packed City Hall audience, festival director Heather Croall said: “About 18 months ago I met the film director and film producer down the road in the pub and we agreed right there and then that this film was going to open the festival in a year and a half and that...

Pulp: a Film about Life, Death & Supermarkets review: A life in the day
Pulp: A Film About Life, Death & Supermarkets (2014)
Director: Florian Habicht; Starring: Jarvis Cocker, Mark Webber, Candida Doyle, Nick Banks, Steve Mackey and the people of Sheffield; Running time: 90 mins; Certificate: 12A

Forming in 1978 and releasing their first album It in 1983, Pulp became the slowest-burning overnight success in history when the double-whammy of His 'n' Hers and Different Class made them pop superstars in 1994/95.

But rather than trudge us through the Fire to the Promised Island, director Florian Habicht instead picks - more or less - a single day in the Pulp story. December, 8, 2012 - the band's homecoming show after their reunion the year before.

Most of the film is made up of chats (it'd be over-formalising them to call them interviews) with the band, their fans, and the people of Sheffield. By narrowing his film's focus, Habicht has made a tender, charming life in the day of a unique band in British pop.
