What's the Portuguese for Banger?

I've been at my new job five months now, so I should probably stop calling it a new job. I thought I had the pulse of the place, used to the rhythm and flux of a large office (I used to work with about 10 people).

Then Love Island started and I was lost. And now we're gearing up for a workplace World Cup. I'm sure you're oh-so-familiar with such things but this is my first. My team got Portugal. Talk turned to how we were gonna decorate. That Cristiano Ronaldo statue will feature prominently and I'd like to get that Nuno Valente Panini sticker involved but after that? Madeira cake, port and Portuguese man o'wars have been mentioned. Sadly Nando's is out...

Ooops, we're actually South African...

But we might come up trumps when it comes to a soundtrack. Turns out Nelly Furtado's parents are from Portugal. Tenuous but we'll take it...

Oh Me & Oh My

Well behind the curve on this one (I hear Kanye is releasing a new album too). André 3000 uploaded two tracks on the US version of Mother's Day a couple of weeks ago. Look Ma No Hands is a 17-minute astral jazz workout with James Blake on piano and André 3000 honking away on a bass clarinet. One spin is enough.

However I cannot stop playing Me&My (To Bury Your Parents). It's a simple soul song driven by an irresistible piano line and gut-punches of emotion. It's been known that André 3000 struggles with the loss of his mother in 2013 and his father the following year. Perhaps Me&My (To Bury Your Parents) is a way of processing the grief. Maybe it was creating as an act of veneration and honour. Whatever the reason, I'm grateful that André 3000 did it. It's just beautiful. And what a debut too, as this is technically his first solo single and EP outside of OutKast.
