Lauryn Hill’s Genius, Double Pints and the Role of the Music Critic

Update: 2024-10-17

Description

How much influence do music reviews have in 2024? Annie and Nick chat to The Guardian’s Laura Snapes about the role of the music critic, what it’s like to give a scathing review and why professional critique should always be valued. Elsewhere, Glastonbury tickets go on sale next month at their highest ever price - but what should festival-goers be getting for their money? Plus, new albums from Kendrick Lamar and Frank Ocean may be on their way, viral hit The Spark has been longlisted for two Grammy awards and Lauryn Hill serves Annie a night of beautiful chaos.
