Bebe Rexha performed for her tour, “Best F’n Night Of My Life,” at the House of Blues on Monday, June 26th. The crowd waited for her much-expected performance.
Melanie Martinez released the deluxe version of her album PORTALS on April 5. This album is somehow nothing like her past discography, but still stays loyal to what she is most recognizable for, her amazing storytelling. Her lyricism is always chilling and enthralling, which makes this album good. She dropped the song “DEATH” as a […]
2022 has passed, and with it, a new year of music begins! We will discuss Shakira and Miley’s most recent releases, backstory, and what is yet to come!
In 1969, psychedelic folk musician Jim Sullivan released U.F.O., his first album. Six years later, in 1975, he disappeared into the desert outside of Santa Rosa, New Mexico, never to be seen again. U.F.O. is an easy listen. It feels like driving your grandfather’s baby-blue Ford pickup out of town, into the scrubland until you […]
Disguised as adult contemporary, better defined as sophisti-pop, The Blue Nile’s Hats is a synth-infused testament to hopeless romanticism and late night rides through the city in the back of taxicabs. Lushly and meticulously produced, each song is exactly what it needs to be. This is the kind of desperate heartache you can only find […]
Japanese Breakfast made a tour stop at the beloved White Oak Music Hall in Houston, along with openers SASAMI. The doors opened at 8, and everyone in line was ready to kick off the Halloween weekend with the band. All you can see is unique costumes, from a juice box to an Astronaut that represented […]
The closest I’ve ever been to an opera was in the 5th grade. My teacher at the time, Ms. Sqaure, took us the watch the Houston Symphony; I think it was an outreach program because kids from other schools were at the Symphony as well. This was the beginning of my love for the classical […]

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.
Dimitri Leslie Roger AKA Rich the Kid signed with interscope records on June, 2017. He released his breakout album The World Is Yours less than a year later on March 30, 2018. Rich the Kid grew up listening to the “usual suspects,” Nas, Jay-Z, 2Pac, Notorious B.I.G. & 50 Cent and was influenced by their […]
Beartooth is immortal. The observation stems from the mantra, “I’m destined for greatness or death,” off of their latest album Disease. In the aptly named track “Greatness or Death,” frontman Caleb Shomo proselytizes the idea that it’s either greatness or death. Logically then, he and the other guys are simply immortal. They have achieved so […]
Nine Inch Nails is currently on tour, and that’s all I can think about, really. This run of shows is part of the Cold and Infinite and Black tour that started a few weeks back and ends with a near week-long residency in Los Angeles in December (all of those shows already sold out, I […]

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 […]
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 […]
Columbian-American artist Kali Uchis finally released her debut full length album Isolation earlier this month after various features and collaborations with artists such as Tyler the Creator, Bootsy Collins and Vince Staples.

“Emulation. Oh, I know that guy. Imitation. Oh, you are that guy.” Mike is not that guy. Ryan is not that guy. Pat is not that guy. Ricky and Dave? Not those guys. Then, who are they? These guys make up the band Red Sun Rising and their only charge of imitation is in the […]
