Eliza Rose, Shabaka Hutchings, Sherelle, Rhian Teasdale and Nilüfer Yanya gather for our annual roundtable on the state of the music industry, discussing self-care, plagiarism allegations, post-release editing – and Kanye
It was the year that Ed Sheeran won a court case, Beyoncé returned, Kanye West horrified the world and musicians struggled with the new economics of playing live. We got together five artists who made a mark on 2022 to discuss it all. Eliza Rose is a London-born DJ whose independently released single Baddest of Them All spent two weeks at No 1. Shabaka Hutchings is a multi-instrumentalist who performs with Sons of Kemet, Shabaka and the Ancestors and the Comet Is Coming. Sherelle is a DJ who broke through with her 2019 Boiler Room set and has since recorded a mix for Fabric. Rhian Teasdale is one-half of Isle of Wight indie band Wet Leg, whose 2021 debut single, Chaise Longue, went viral; they released their self-titled debut album this spring. Nilüfer Yanya is a London-born guitarist and songwriter who has released two albums, 2019’s Miss Universe and this year’s Painless, to widespread acclaim.
