Little Simz made a triumphant return to Glastonbury's iconic Pyramid Stage marking a significant milestone in her career, coming full circle from her 2022 promise to return after headlining the West Holt Stage.

Over an electrifying hour, Simz captivated the audience with a diverse setlist spanning her entire discography, including tracks from her surprise release "Drop 7." Her commanding presence, backed by her live band, reaffirmed her status as a once-in-a-generation talent.

In collaboration with award-winning artist Jeremy Cole, Simz's performance was a masterclass in minimalist yet immersive stage design. Cole, who has been a key creative partner for Simz, described the concept as a journey through Simz's expansive musical world, with each song creating a distinct environment.

Reflecting on her Glastonbury journey, BBC 2 aired "Little Simz: My Glastonbury," which explored her evolution from her debut in 2016 to her landmark 2022 performance. The full Pyramid Stage set is available on BBC iPlayer for 30 days.

DIGITAL COVER 003: LEGZDINA

On a crisp morning in Shoreditch, Legzdina brought the bold energy that defines her music and style. She discussed her debut EP, Celestial Girl and Her Milky Way, a fearless mix of drum’n’bass, sung-rap, and poetic storytelling. The project captures her journey as an artist forging her own path. In conversation, she reflected on the personal stories shaping her music, her community-focused open-mic series Say It Back, and her drive to inspire through art. With ethereal vocals and experimental production, she’s pushing boundaries while eyeing her next milestone - representing Latvia at Eurovision -all while staying true to her belief in individuality and connection.

DIGITAL COVER 002: FLIPTRIX

This album tells a story, and hearing the tales that led to its formation from Fliptrix himself was an honour. We caught up with the charismatic artist shortly before the release of ‘Dragonfly’, to discuss his father, the current state of UK Rap, psychedelics, social media & more.

DIGITAL COVER 001: CLOUD X

In the midst of their planning of this year’s festival, we sat down with Ben Cross and David Dabieh of Cloud X to discuss the business of live music events, the UK government, South London and their future plans, perhaps surmised when Dabieh explained; "One thing about Cloud X is that we didn't have this big plan, we just kept trying to be free".

REVIEW: JD Cliffe - misfit.

JD Cliffe’s debut EP ‘Misfit’ opens with intention. This isn’t a project trying to win over everyone or play it safe. It’s a body of work that swings between grime, punk, R&B, and indie without asking for permission. JD Cliffe is done playing nice.
