Coco Jones | Live at Koko, London Unsurprisingly, the top artists leading the GRAMMY nominations this year are all R&B female artists, from SZA to Victoria Monét to Coco Jones. One thing these three women have in common is the quality of work they produce, not to mention their tenacity and the fact that they have more than put in their 10,000 hours to get to this position. Coco, in particular, has been in this music game since as a child, when she was also pursuing an acting career.

Ayra Starr | Live at Koko, London When I first met Ayra Starr and spoke to her for 1883 Magazine it was in the crunks of the pandemic back in 2020. She was fresh off the release of her debut EP Ayra Starr and was already experiencing a taste of the success she has achieved since. Ayra has already achieved a debut album,19 and Dangerous, three years later and a recent Grammy Nomination for her single Rush.

Review | Blink 182 live in London Nostalgia was at an all-time high when Blink 182 took the stage at the second of their two-night stop at London’s O2 Arena. As Mark Hoppus said before going into one of their songs, “It’s Emo time.” That statement rang true throughout the night as emos from all over gathered to busk in the nostalgic joy that is Blink 182, who also proved that they still have a lot of music under their belt and are far from finished.
