Didn’t get tickets to Oasis? Buying for the dad who still talks about that gig in 1996

Published

You know the one. He was there. He’ll tell you about it again on Christmas Day.

Music dads are tricky because they already own the albums, sometimes twice. So go sideways.

The reissue. Anniversary editions of old favourites often come with demos and live tracks he’s never heard.

A good speaker or radio. If his records are still playing through something from the nineties, he’ll notice the difference straight away.

The book. Band biographies and big photo books are the kind of present dads actually read.

The gig itself, if you’re lucky… If his old favourites are touring again, two tickets for you and him beats any box.

Still stuck? Ask him to start a list. HintDrop is free, works with any shop, and lets the whole family see what’s already been bought, without him seeing who’s getting what.

The bilingual single — French and English — is built around one of the most universal human experiences: that special connection that doesn’t need translation. Where EGO invited you to forget your ex on the dancefloor, BB ILY pulls you somewhere more intimate: with sultry beats courtesy of Turana, it’s a dance where gestures, whispers, sighs and the sound of a voice matters more than the words that come out of it… It’s sensual, a little mystical, and entirely her own.

First taste of Naomi Aguilera’s upcoming project Ojalá, due in 2027, it feels effortlessly catchy. This is the kind of track that casts its spell quietly, with interesting and unexpected rhythmic shifts in the verses, and a delicious chorus that lodges itself in your head before you even notice. By the time you do, it’s too late. But you won’t find me complaining about it!
