1 Comment Morgan Wallen's latest single, "Smile," released yesterday, marks an evolution in his musical journey. Co-written by Wallen alongside Rocky Block, John Byron, Ernest Keith Smith, Ryan Vojtesak, and Luis Witkiewitz, the track delves into the complexities of a strained relationship, capturing the fleeting joy of a partner's smile, even if it's just for a photograph.
Write a comment The Aces have released a catchy modern funk tune titled “Jealous.” Upon hearing it for the first time, I couldn’t help but draw comparisons to Ariana Grande’s “Yes, and?” The comparison isn’t so much about the genre or artistry but rather the melodic space the song inhabits. That said, hats off to The Aces—they’ve crafted a truly enjoyable track.
Write a comment Cody Frost’s latest release, "BLOODSUCKA", featuring Debbie Gough, comes with an equally striking music video. Unlike abstract visuals, this one straightforwardly complements the track’s story, creating a cohesive and engaging experience.
Write a comment SAYGRACE has dropped a gem with her latest track, "Stay Down". As a longtime fan of female vocal RnB/Soul, I was immediately drawn in. Think Jhené Aiko, H.E.R, and Cleo Sol—with shades of the greats like Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu. This track, produced by Andre “Dre” Harris, fits perfectly into the genre’s legacy of smooth, soulful grooves.
Write a comment Belters Only, the Irish electronic collective, has dropped a fresh track, "AwStopBro". Anchored by an enchanting rhythm, this song captivates with standout elements like its professional production and flawless sound selection. The drums hit with precision, while the synths and samples are irresistibly satisfying—an essential pick for Ibiza-style summer vibes.
Write a comment Kendrick Lamar just released a new album titled “GNX”. I’m not going to dive too deeply into the songs or break them down in detail—because, honestly, I can’t talk right now. I’m too busy dancing to them. You should put it on immediately.
Write a comment Okay, this one is a bit different. I’m a big fan of Ariana Grande, so I try not to miss anything she releases. That’s why, right now, I’ll be talking about her latest release, “Popular”, which is part of the soundtrack for the movie Wicked. The new Wicked movie was released just three days ago, along with its soundtrack.
Write a comment Aminé has recently dropped a new four-track single titled “.mp3s.” In this review, I’ll focus on the opening track, “s2wik.” From the very start, the song feels incredibly fresh and dynamic. As a fan of artists like Kaytranada, PinkPantheress, and Fred Again.., I found the track’s vibe immediately appealing. The beat leans into an industrial sound—perhaps a nod to the fact that the artist performing on it didn’t produce it. Regardless, Aminé ties it all together seamlessly with his compelling vocal delivery.
Write a comment Amber Mark has recently dropped a new banger titled “Wait So Yeah.” My personal favorite by Amber Mark has always been her cover of Sade's iconic track, “Love Is Stronger Than Pride.” Before hearing “Wait So Yeah,” that was pretty much the only song I had listened to thoroughly by her. With this in mind, I didn’t quite know what to expect.
Write a comment In psychology, there’s a recurring idea that “the psyche is image.” Every thought that drifts through our mind is painted, sculpted, also composed. Each mental scene carries the transcendental, divine hue of poetry. It’s fascinating, then, that “Floating gold”—an ambient, nearly 70-minute odyssey of psychedelic textures—finds its inspiration in an unexpected place: the waiting line for Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean ride. It’s a reminder that no matter what we’re doing, even standing in line, our minds weave everything into poetry.
Write a comment The one-chord, constant strumming of the guitar, paired with an upbeat singer, has been a signature of the rock-pop movement for decades. Often stereotyped or caricatured, we imagine beautiful singers strumming away with conventionally angelic voices—this representation, across various forms of media, is almost inevitably accompanied by insinuations of a lack of depth in both the music and the artist.
Write a comment FINNEAS has released a new single, "Lotus Eater," as part of his latest album, For Cryin' Out Loud. While this review focuses on the single, remember there’s plenty more to explore on the album, which marks his third full-length release, excluding two deluxe editions of previous records.
Write a comment Fie Eike is back with another wonderfully relaxing, piano-driven track. Her latest single, "Omrids," is a melodic treat, featuring only piano—beautifully and masterfully. The song starts off strong and sustains its promise throughout. The melodic theme comes in at just the right moment, adding an extra layer of beauty. Fie hails from Denmark, where this track was created. I'm not sure if it should be classified as Danish folk music, though it does remind me of some old Swedish folk songs I'm familiar with. But honestly, the genre doesn’t matter much here—just listen to it!
Write a comment Kygo and Imagine Dragons, two pop powerhouses, have teamed up for a new track titled "Stars Will Align." It's a natural collaboration for these chart-topping artists, and on this song, they show not only their individual strengths but also an impressive synergy. Both are known for their high-energy hits—think "Believer," "Radioactive," "Stole The Show," and "Firestone." Ring any bells?
