After three years of regularly listening to Leon Bridges‘ debut album Coming Home, I was beyond excited to finally catch him in concert. The Fort Worth native’s velvety vocals and 60’s soul feel will have any music fiend singing along to his tracks. Going into the concert, I was interested to see if Leon Bridges would be […]

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 […]
After going from a recent high school grad to an alternative pop superstar over the past year, Khalid has become a household name for his soulful ballads and relatable pop tunes about young love and growing up young in America.

Kali Uchis, born Karly Loaiza, is not what you would think she is. If they were to create a hispanic Barbie with alien and retro vibes dripping in candy land colors, that would begin to encompass the persona that Kali Uchis has created. Today, she is still quite a mystery but one thing is clear: […]
To keep it simple, Jon Bap’s “Yesterday’s Homily” is a modern jazz fantasia. With avant garde qualities in which the voice and instrumentation work together beautifully, the album presents itself to be something of a breath of fresh air in a territory most artists wouldn’t take the risk of treading. The artist, Jon Bap, […]
Born in Washington D.C., studied in Boston, but based in Brooklyn, Nick Hakim is a breath of fresh air in the world of soul.

The last two years has certainly been a journey for Anderson .Paak. From being an opener for Watsky’s All You Can Do Tour, releasing his first debut studio album “Venice,” to being a key feature on Dr. Dre’s “Compton,” it’s no surprise to see .Paak has outdone himself once again on his newly released project, “Malibu.”
The internet is an endless vortex that can easily suck you in, and before you know it, it’s 2 am and you’re looking at D.I.Y. videos on YouTube with no actual intentions of going through with any of the projects. It was one of those nights when I decided I needed to step up my music game. […]
Childish Gambino, multi-talented rapper, actor, writer, comedian, singer, and even talented cover-artist. Is there anything Gambino can’t do? Honestly, the answer’s probably no. On October 1, the low-key rapper crawled from under his collective rock to bless the internet with a cover of Tamia’s “So Into You” on the radio station Triple J. For those […]

I am such a 90s baby, so I love all the music from the late 90s and the early 2000s. One of my favorite pop divas of that era and most likely of all time, is Christina Aguilera. I am such a fan! I have also become a fan of Ed Sheeran in recent years, so […]
