Much time has transpired since the Astroworld tragedy that left many dead and families stricken with grief, but for Travis Scott, his sympathies have gone down the drain – oh, and new music has been stagnant, I guess. A single here, a featured verse there, and now, five years since his Astroworld album, Travis has…

It’s no denying I wasn’t the fondest of Carly Rae Jepsen’s last album, The Loneliest Time, but it wasn’t something that I totally disliked. When I saw her last month in concert, some of the loudest I sang was with the performances of “Surrender My Heart” and “Talking To Yourself,” but it’s safe to say…

However, when it comes to Hip-Hop, the consistency runs high, more so than particular industry plants I’ve had…

But after looping the new Disclosure album, Alchemy, for a while, I noticed this unbridled sense of direction, where they can create without features but remain fluid, akin to albums like…

Grief and heartache will always hold a burnt imprint in hearts despite the ever-growing shift into moving and remembering the great instead of the idea that they will no longer be here. Julie Byrne understands that here as she delivers this beautifully potent ambient folk album with The Greater Wings. Ambiance is a cornerstone of…

Sometimes you get riddled with musical regret because you haven’t found yourself aware of these independent artists who deliver music akin to one’s preference. That’s how I felt going through the work of San Francisco Singer-Songwriter Tanukichan. Her music is like a bridge between dream-pop and shoegaze within the arrangement, digging deep into the subconscious…

Coming off a performance with Rosalía at Coachella and appearing during Rosalía’s interview with Hot Ones, Rauw Alejandro decided to play the field and deliver a surprise album underneath the shadows of the highly anticipated Speak Now (Taylor’s Version).
