What You Sayin’? – The Evolving Lexicon of Love Island, & the Stereotyping of Accents
The accent heard by some of Love Island’s 2023, series 10 cast, in particular Tyrique, Zachariah, and Andre Furtado, is not Jamaican Patios, but is in fact a new accent which developed in the late 20th century amongst young working-class Brits, coexisting and socialising in the multicultural boroughs of London, where coincidentally Zachariah, Tyrique, and Andre all hail. This relatively new accent is known as Multicultural London English (MLE), regional variations of the accent are termed Multicultural British English (MBE) ...

Justine Skye, ‘Space and Time’, Album *REVIEW*
Throughout 2020 I was more excited to see a new ‘Space and Time’ clip from Justine and Timbaland’s studio sessions, than I ever have been over a Love Island recoupling! Witnessing their creative process felt organic and nostalgic, especially for those of us who remember how Timbaland (along with Missy Elliott) sculpted Aaliyah’s sound and career in the mid 1990’s propelling her to iconic status within...
