BBC drama Mix Tape will have Netflix One Day fans hooked
New BBC drama Mix Tape is a perfect substitute for fans of Netflix's One Day - with a fate-driven love story as two lives take very different paths Romance lovers get ready as the BBC has just announced a brand new drama that promises to tug at the heartstrings of viewers. Titled Mix Tape, the four-part series sounds like the ideal watch for fans of hit Netflix show One Day, offering a similar emotional journey through love, time and second chances. The series has been adapted from Jane Sanderson's acclaimed novel of the same name, and the show is set to premiere on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer later this summer. With a story that spans decades and continents, it's already gaining widespread attraction, having picked up the TV Spotlight Audience Award at SXSW 2025. So, what can viewers expect from this highly anticipated series? What is Mix Tape about? The official synopsis reads: "The four-part series follows Daniel and Alison, moving between their teenage romance in 1989 Sheffield and the modern-day reality of their adult relationships living on opposite sides of the world." Much like the beloved characters Emma and Dex from One Day, Mix Tape explores a deep and emotional connection between two people who find their lives taking very different paths. But fate has other plans. The main characters Daniel and Alison are separated as they build completely different lives on opposite sides of the world with new partners. "The pair reconnect through a song from their shared past and explore their burning curiosity to understand if this is the love, and the life, they were meant to have," the synopsis continues. The series stars Teresa Palmer, known for her roles in The Clearing and The Fall Guy, as Alison and Jim Sturgess, known for his roles in Across The Universe and Cloud Atlas, as Daniel. Their younger selves are played by Bridgerton's Florence Hunt and new-comer Rory Walton-Smith - who will be playing his first mainstream role. The show was filmed in locations in Dublin, Ireland and Sydney, Australia, and the series promises a romance "packed with emotion" set against a fantastic soundtrack which will transport you back to the 80s. "Mix Tape will take viewers back in time to that intoxicating feeling of first love [and be] a classic all-encompassing romance set to a banging nostalgic soundtrack," producers told Variety. Sue Deeks, Head of BBC Programme Acquisition, said: "Accompanied by an absolutely cracking 80s soundtrack, Mix Tape is an enjoyable blend of nostalgia, romance and heartbreak – it really is the perfect summer treat!" Patrick Roberts, Senior Vice President of global sales at Boat Rocker Studios, added: "We're delighted by the strong response to Mix Tape we've received from the BBC and our other partners around the world and can't wait for audiences to discover this unique take on a modern love story." Mix Tape will be available to watch on BBC iPlayer and BBC Two later this summer.

Wolf Alice wrote their new album in the Seven Sisters neighborhood of north London. They recorded it in Los Angeles with producer Greg Kurstin. Discussing the new single, in a press statement, Wolf Alice's lead singer, Ellie Rowsell, said, 'I wanted a rock song, to focus on the performance element of a rock song and sing like Axl Rose, but to be singing a song about being a woman.' She continued, 'I've used the guitar as a shield in the past, playing it has perhaps been some way to reject the 'girl singer in band' trope, but I wanted to focus on my voice as a rock instrument so it's been freeing to put the guitar down and reach a point where I don't feel like I need to prove that I'm a musician.' $38.00, Rough Trade Originally Appeared on Pitchfork

Wolf Alice Returns With Bold New Single ‘Bloom Baby Bloom,' Announces Fourth Album
If anyone has cause to celebrate this week, it's Wolf Alice fans. After waiting four years for a new album from the British rock band, the group announced that its fourth LP, The Clearing, is arriving this summer on Aug. 29. The news lands alongside lead single 'Bloom Baby Bloom,' which vocalist and guitarist Ellie Rowsell has described in a statement as a rejection of 'the 'girl singer in band' trope' that she has been made subject to in the past. 'I wanted a rock song, to focus on the performance element of a rock song and sing like Axl Rose, but to be singing a song about being a woman,' she shared in a press release. 'I've used the guitar as a shield in the past … but I wanted to focus on my voice as a rock instrument so it's been freeing to put the guitar down and reach a point where I don't feel like I need to prove that I'm a musician.'

It sees Rowsell perform alongside a troupe of dancers, with choreography from Ryan Heffington, the visionary behind Sia's iconic 'Chandelier' video. The Clearing will be released via Wolf Alice's new label home of Sony Music, whom the band signed with last year after completing a three-album contract with Dirty Hit (The 1975, Beabadoobee). The forthcoming record was written in Seven Sisters, north London, and recorded in Los Angeles with the Grammy-winning producer Greg Kurstin in late 2024. A tracklist for the album is yet to be announced, but the band has shared its artwork, which features Rowsell singing into a vintage microphone while wearing an olive-green leotard and knee-high leather boots. Comprised of Rowsell, guitarist Joff Oddie, bassist Theo Ellis and drummer Joel Amey, the four-piece will prepare for the arrival of the new LP with a series of U.K. and Irish shows in the coming weeks. The band is scheduled to perform intimate theater gigs in Kilkenny, Cork and Limerick May 19-21, ahead of appearances at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Liverpool (May 24) and Glastonbury on June 28. Blue Weekend, the band's last full-length effort, arrived in 2021 and topped the Official U.K. Albums Chart before leading the group to its first-ever BRIT award the following year. It was also nominated for the Mercury Prize, which Wolf Alice won for 2017's Visions of a Life.
