Floating Points has released a new three song mini-ep titled “Ocotillo”. It is hard to accurately describe everything that is going on in these tracks with words. I wish I could formulate three quick sentences that just made it so you went and gave these tracks a go and listened to them as soon as possible. The more people that listened to this music the quicker, the better off we would be. When I hear these tracks, they feel so refreshing.

His new six track EP, “Devotion: Music for Healing & Peace” is available on broadcast and streaming services worldwide.

Fie Eike has just released a new track titled “Fluid.” If you haven't listened to Fie before, I highly recommend exploring her other projects before, during, or after reading this article. Born and raised in Denmark, Fie crafts atmospheric, vibey songs with subtle yet impactful vocals. Her early releases have all revolved around the theme of water, and the production on these tracks is exceptional. Every element feels cohesive, from the structure of the parts to the unique sounds that surface throughout. Fie has a remarkable talent for weaving together different elements, ensuring that not only do they stand out individually, but they also collectively reinforce the overarching theme of her music.

Review: 'Lonely is the Muse': Halsey's Heart-Wrenching Ode to 2000s Pop Punk

by Peter Källman

Write a comment

Halsey has released a new pop/rock/punk banger titled “Lonely is the Muse”. This track makes me, as a person in the age range 22-30, pretty nostalgic. Even to someone that had a front row seat to the wave of pop punk songs released in the 2000’s, the track still feels fresh. Halsey delivers heart-wrenching vocals, mixing smooth harmonies with her lead vocal which at some points also goes over into screaming. The backing music is basic instruments, but very well played. Drums, guitar and bass. The distorted guitars are not taking over, but are filling up a lot of empty room just on their own.

Review: Die With A Smile: Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars Unite for a Soulful Masterpiece

Die With A Smile is the latest banger released by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars. Bruno is following his own footsteps and carrying on towards a more soulful path. I am personally very pleased to see Lady Gaga hop on the same path and walk with Bruno, if only for a little while. There is a lot to say about Bruno Mars. How incredibly soulful his songwriting is, the raw power emanating from his voice and much more. I think this track shows that whatever you are going to compliment Bruno Mars for, you can just as well do the same for Lady Gaga.

Review - Moses Sumney - Sophcore (Album)

by Martín Cacho

Whenever Moses Sumney comes to mind, it’s hard not to imagine him parting seas or enchanting creatures—biblical allusions that might seem cliché at first. Yet, in many ways, they’re not far off the mark. Sumney’s music, particularly in his previous album Græ, felt like a vast, living ocean—a place where all manner of sonic beings thrived, with silence acting as a powerful, sea-dividing force. In a genre that often fears quiet, Sumney embraced it, making every pause as meaningful as the sound it framed.
