Although this decade isn't entirely over yet we still like to already take a look back on its musical highlight. And especially the independent music scene seems to fully freed itself from any limitations and boundaries during these ten years, resulting in quite some memorable musical moments we'd like to share with you.
With headliners such as Charli XCX, Rosalia or Miley Cyrus, this year’s Primavera Festival proved that 50/50 lineups are possibly and that they should be the new standard in booking business. NBHAP editor Louisa attended the colourful fiesta in Barcelona, that will hopefully lead the way for more inclusive festivals.
Lately things got a bit calm around Ariana Grande. The singer did not only avoid public appeareances after finishing her Dangerous Woman World Tour in September 2017, but shut down most of her social media activity since the beginning of this year as well. Now she is back with her first musical material after the Manchester terror attack in May 2017.
Hyped British indie band ALT-J presents their new single Hunger Of The Pine. It’s the first musical teaser off their just announced upcoming second album This Is All Yours. The new album is set for a release on September 22nd (in Germany already on September 19th) , featuring 13 new tracks by the band. Hunger Of The Pine is a slow grooving and atmospheric piece of ALT-J at their best. And it also samples MILEY CYRUS. Yes, indeed. Spot her right here.
