This summer, let’s diversify our music libraries by checking out some new releases by female artists across different genres. June was LGBTQ Pride Month, but one month is not nearly enough.

Saturday night, May 26th, Slushii and Volt hit the stage at Stereo Live. The opener, Volt, performed a wide variety of dubstep mixes, hitting all the right notes that the crowd wanted to hear. Mixing some old Skrillex with some newer beats, Volt hyped the crowd right where Slushii wanted it to be. When he finally […]
Musician, songwriter, and interdisciplinary artist Cody Critcheloe aka SSION just released O, his third studio album, his first release in seven years, and it’s fantastic. The album opens with a cover of Roy Orbison’s “Big As I Can Dream.” “I will build a dream for you…” Critcheloe sings in a misty-disco tone as if addressing […]
World-famous DJ, producer, and artist, ZHU, just dropped a hot new EP, the first part of his new project called RINGOS DESERT. The EP brings all the heat of the desert and some spooky-electronic dance vibes with a touch of R&B and trap inspiration and fusion as well. This project definitely shows some maturity and style […]

Coverage by Waylon O’Day and Tiffany Neufeld Wow, I don’t know why I had never heard of this festival prior to this year, and I’m not sure why it doesn’t get more attention than it does. The festival is built for music fans; the lack of overlapping set-times, the small grounds, and just generally the […]
Coverage by Waylon O’Day and Tiffany Neufeld The second annual Fortress Festival began on Saturday, April 28th at the Will Rogers Memorial Center. Touting a diverse line up of 23 bands, the music experience appealed to hip hop, rock, electric and folk fans. Some festival-goers came simply to pass the time outside on an […]

Rapsody, two-time Grammy nominated rapper, side steps pigeon holes, boxes and generalizations. She has been labeled a “conscious rapper.” While that title appropriately describes her style of music, she wants to model for others that “You don’t have to be just this.” The idea behind this statement is that the power to be anything and […]
So, as I alluded to in my previous Marfa Myths post, this festival is really like none other. Each performance had some sort of unique element that I had never seen in person before. In the case of Kelsey Lu, her set at the Marfa Visitor Center, had three big things that stood out […]
The tUnE-yArDs’ sound is difficult to pin down. Consisting of loop pedals, lo-fi percussion, ukulele, electric bass, saxophone, horns and vocals, this synth driven, African inspired, indie folk sound scats all over the place, much like a psychedelic jazz song. There is a lot to unpack there. And that is where you find the […]
Between doing his own production and having extremely successful albums with little to no features, J. Cole‘s name basically speaks for itself at this point. After releasing the album art by Kamau Haroon or “Sixmau” for KOD, what would be his fifth studio album, earlier this week, he got everyone talking. While some people view the […]

It has been five years since you gave up your passion for someone you thought was permanent; then ended up stuck behind a desk counting the seconds until the clock strikes 5 pm…just to question everything again tomorrow. R&B artist Corey H was in this thought process five years ago until he looked out the […]
