Since 2020, no artist has had an oversaturated presence in pop and the overall zeitgeist than Taylor Swift. From surprise drops to re-recordings of her albums, and a total of 4 new albums, including the newly released The Tortured Poets Department, it’s easy to see how one may feel that it’s too much; the Swifties…

Emerging from the depths of the Paul Institute (a venture taken by elusive artist Jai Paul and his brother A. K. Paul) was Fabiana Palladino. I’ve known of Paul and his music via friends, and have dabbled minimally; however, when receiving recommendations via articles and singles, it was safe to say my intrigue for Palladino’s…

AKTHESAVIOR and Issa Gold (The Underachievers) have a cadence for language when delivering their verses that paint pictures warped by a psychedelic mind; it’s why I’ve been fans for years. In the 2010s, the East Coast was riding the waves of the zeitgeist, even creating an extensive collection that would get called Beast Coast (Pro-Era,…

Future’s last album, I Never Liked You, left me feeling tepid, and the Metro Boomin album was a fun, expansive vibe that showcased more of what we heard from his curated soundtrack for Across The Spider-Verse; when the two started teasing a new album with tweets and photos of themselves working in the studio, it’s…

With RaiNao, she quickly jumped into my ears and never left. With this burgeoning growth of Urbano music in the mainstream over the…

That becomes evident with his follow-up Las Letras Ya No Importan, which reflects an absence of poignancy…

When I first stumbled upon NewDad through recommendations based on listening habits via genre splits on Apple Music, I was with it; I quickly delved into their two EPs, and I found myself enamored by the cadence of the lead vocalist, Julie Dawson, who brings these melodies that feel like homages to the shoegaze and…

Manifesting himself into someone more refreshed and new, Benny the Butcher strives ignorantly through his new album Everybody Can’t Go. After doubling down on his status and reminding us of his roots with his last album, the fourth installment in his Tana Talk series, Benny is taking it all in and giving us music where…

When I first came across Canadian Indie Rock act Packs with last year’s Crispy Crunchy Nothing, I knew they had something as their sound began to linger in my brain, weaving certain melodies and notes and sticking them in my head. It could be their honed-in sound that is reminiscent of, if not purely tackling,…
