You know that feeling when a song hits a little too close to home, not because it’s sad, but because it’s honest? That’s what WAIN’s debut album Still Colorful  does from the very first note. It’s not just music you listen to; it’s music you sit with. Every track feels like a late-night conversation with a friend who gets it, someone who reminds you that even when life feels gray, there’s still color hiding somewhere in it. Known for his honest songwriting and intricate produ

Every once in a while, a song comes along that makes you stop mid-scroll and mid-thought, just to feel. Lofi Legs’  new single “Rock and Roll Easy”   is one of those rare ones. It’s the kind of song that doesn’t need to shout to be heard; it just floats into the room, a hazy mix of nostalgia, warmth, and something beautifully uncertain. The San Francisco-based band has always had a knack for capturing the messy magic of being human. Conceived in the waters of Arroyo Seco  and

Pop has always had its heartbreak anthems, but every once in a while, a voice comes along that makes the familiar feel brand new. Connor Nelson  is that kind of artist. With a voice that feels equal parts pure and powerful, and lyrics that cut clean through the noise, his latest single “Bored”   takes the universal ache of post-breakup emptiness and turns it into something quietly stunning. For Connor, “Bored”  isn’t about the drama of heartbreak, it’s about the quiet that co

There’s something instantly gripping about Broke in Stereo’s new single “Trouble’s Coming.”  Maybe it’s the way the guitars growl, or maybe it’s the swagger in the delivery, either way, it’s the kind of track that drags you right into the moment. It’s alive, unapologetic, and burns with that raw, blues-soaked energy that modern rock has been missing. For those who don’t already know the name, Broke in Stereo  is the musical identity of Cabell Harris , an American songwriter,

There’s something about the California sky, the way the light hits at golden hour, how the air feels heavy with promise, that makes it the perfect setting for transformation. For Italian-born, Long Beach–based bassist and composer Simone Feroci , it’s also the soundtrack to his rebirth. His newest single, “California Forever”  (out October 3, 2025), is a sweeping, instrumental pop journey that captures his passage from alcoholism and grief to healing and sobriety . But don’t

Sometimes, the most powerful stories don’t come from a studio, they come from a bedroom, a single microphone, and the quiet ache of reflection. Vancouver-based indie folk-rock and folk-pop artist Micae  invites listeners into that exact space with her new EP, For The Record , a raw, beautiful collection that turns heartbreak into something deeply human. Micae, who’s not only a singer-songwriter but also a music therapist , has always understood the emotional power of sound. H

If there’s one band that refuses to stay silent, it’s Mute the Madness . The hip-hop collective, formerly known as The Devil’s Playground , has long been a voice for those who feel trapped in the noise of mainstream conformity. Now, with the release of Tan’s remix to “Man and Machine” , they’re back with something deeper, darker, and dangerously relevant. The track is a bold statement on how AI and technology are reshaping the world , changing not only how we work but how we

If you locked two mad scientists of hip-hop in a studio and told them not to compete, you’d probably get something that sounds like “Give Me Some Space.” The new collab from Shawn Xavien and WRSE Kaleo isn’t your typical flex record, it’s a slow-burn masterstroke of trust, tension, and artistic freedom. Written and produced entirely by the pair, the track came out of a friendly “impossible beef” that started during the height of the Kendrick vs. Drake saga. Instead of beefing

When two artists known for pouring raw honesty into their music collide, the result is bound to be unforgettable. That’s exactly what happens with maryjo and Mergui’s new collaboration, a song that feels like someone cracked open their diary, set it to melody, and let the emotions fly. maryjo, the 24-year-old singer/songwriter with a voice that can pivot from fragile whispers to fearless belts, has a rare ability to turn intrusive thoughts into anthems. Her acoustic-driven st

Hip-hop has always thrived on honesty, and when it comes to baring raw truths, few do it like DMV native Domi Dow Jones . Paired with producer Black Ceasar , the rapper is stepping into a new chapter with the upcoming release of Growing Pains 2 , a bold, soul-soaked sequel arriving September 26th. This isn’t just another project tossed into the endless flood of new releases, it’s a carefully built collaboration that balances grit with vulnerability, creating a sound that feel

Photographer, Elias Posada & Creative Director, Rosemary Delgado If there’s one artist who knows how to make chaos sound beautiful, it’s Anie Delgado . The Cuban-American pop powerhouse blends honesty, heartbreak, and heat into a sound that feels both cinematic and achingly human. With her latest EP, Hopeless , Anie dives headfirst into the rollercoaster of romance, the dizzy highs, the crash landings, and every messy, magnetic emotion in between. It’s raw, it’s relatable, an

Every once in a while, an album comes along that doesn’t just make noise—it feels  alive. Jady’s Silver , the newly released third studio...
