new album
Last Friday I made my way to the Houston Heights record store, Vinal Edge. Each visit has supplied me with unique additions to my physical media music collections. On this Friday though, I had one specific album on my mind. On April 7th, Asheville, North Carolina’s native band, Wednesday released their third studio album, Rat Saw […]
Finding artists with such great potential is an incredible feeling, and Syo is no different. Born and raised in Houston to a Nigerian household, his take on the sound of Neo-Soul is something worth listening to in his new album, Table Manners. The listening party took place at The 77 in Bellaire. The space was […]
Who are Inhaler? The four boys from Dublin are back to give the world more of their Beatles feel-good music vibe. Elijah Hewson, the frontman of Inhaler, is the son of Paul David Hewson, also known as Bono of U2. The “nepo-baby” makes it known that he doesn’t want to be under his father’s shadow. […]

Lil Yachty is back but in a different format. The return of Lil Boat after two years comes in the form of a new genre-bending album, Let’s Start Here. If you aren’t already familiar with the positive Atlanta flair that Lil Yachty brings, this album will offer insight as an adaptation to his previous self and […]
Paramore have shared their latest single from the upcoming album This Is Why, and it’s guaranteed that the track will get you moving. Paramore’s album rollout has remained cryptic and continues to surprise fans alike. The band’s last single called “The News” was released in early December, after another series of cryptic messages on their […]
Måneskin is currently on their Loud Kids Get Louder Tour, kicking off in U.S. The band sold out their Houston show at 713 Music Hall–their first time playing here. On Monday, the Italian glam rock band won Texas over with their flashy outfits, elaborate guitar solos, and–to the audience’s surprise–scooters. About 40 minutes before playing, […]
On October 14, The 1975 released their fifth album, Being Funny in a Foreign Language. I’ve been a fan of The 1975 since my middle school Tumblr days, but I have to admit, this album differs just a bit from their usual pop rock sound. I prefer their previous sound, but I still enjoyed this […]
This October was a big month for new music releases. Carly Rae Jepsen’s The Loneliest Time is one of the most notable albums. Jepsen’s sixth studio album is not only one of Jepsen’s best, but the best pop album of the year. The album takes visual inspiration from folk or western aesthetics, but is still […]

A music video for its lead single, “Anti-Hero,” also premiered on the same day. Announced during the 2022 VMA Music Awards, fans and critics alike have […]

According to a new interview, Mariah plans to release the album in full, almost thirty years after it was recorded. Not many people know this, but during the sessions of Mariah Carey’s critically acclaimed and […]
At the start of her career, Swift signed to Big Machine Records. When record executive and celebrity manager Scooter Braun (Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato) acquired Big Machine, Swift’s works from 2006 to 2017 were sold to Shamrock Holdings without her knowledge.

Zack Villere is redefining what being a DIY artist is in 2020. The 24 year-old LA-based artist is putting out music unlike anyone else right now… and he’s doing it on his terms. He writes his own music, directs his music videos with his friends, creates the artwork for his albums and singles, and is […]
mono. Album Cover RM’s mono.. Quite honestly, this is the perfect soundtrack for the fall season. If you’re into super chill music with introspective lyrics, then this is the album for you.
Have you ever wondered what Tame Impala would sound like if Kevin Parker continued in the musical direction of Innerspeaker? I like to think that the Chicago-based Post Animal is the answer to that question. The five piece hasn’t been around for that long, yet they sound so experienced and tight that it’s hard to believe […]
Little Dark Age is a cohesive blend of experimental synth-pop and psychedelia that has displayed MGMT’s evolving sound impeccably. Their work has elevated since their debut album Oracular Spectacular and yet, the record ironically has the continuity of a 70s/80s influence throughout the album. Nearly the entire album consists of synthesized upbeat indie pop […]
It is quite odd for a major pop star like Chris Brown to release an album on Halloween, let alone on a Tuesday but after a two year drought since Royalty, Brown released Heartbreak on a Full Moon on October 31st. Not only did he deliver a new album but he exceeded the average amount […]
Kendrick Lamar’s new album DAMN has been one of the most highly anticipated albums of the year, after his last album To Pimp a Butterfly (2015) got so much attention, and he teased fans with releasing his single “Humble” a few weeks ago. In many ways, Kendrick is our definition of what hip-hop is today, he sets […]

Guilla’s influences range anywhere from Björk to System of a Down which is easily seen in the variety of his music and it’s uniqueness.
