Album Review

There’s something phenomenal and grounded when an artist fully utilizes sound, no lyrics, stripped down to its bare texture and elements. ØRBITA’s debut album “Gravity” fully embodies this process, giving you synthwave that isn’t just about gloss and polish, but with something more reflective and human. ØRBITA is the brainchild of Bali-based independent music producer […]

On my last deep-dive on Bastion’s Wake, you’ll remember his central argument: that the band’s debut showed a lot of potential. It was a blueprint, a proof-of-concept; the sound of musicians circling the perimeter of something bigger, stranger, and more emotionally ambitious than their own early confidence could fully articulate. Go Tell the Bees, their

Bailey Grey enters the indie arena with Love It All, a 15-track debut that behaves less like an introduction and more like someone finally deciding to live with the lights on. It’s a near-hour of emotional overabundance; the kind of debut that refuses to politely occupy a corner of your listening queue and instead sprawls

Pop music hits so hard when it’s packed with sleek beats, attitude, and character all throughout. Amara Fe owns the spotlight with all three on her sophomore album “SHIFT”, a record built on confidence and self-worth. Best for mirror shots, grwms, or on days you’re beaming with main character energy. Hailing from US, rising star

You’ll definitely know when an artist loves to create. There’s no hesitation, no attempt to sound acceptable or perfect. quilium‘s debut album “holy shit” will give you a hundred percent of that energy, where impulse and guts dominate more than resemblance and predictability. Bedroom producer quilium debuts with 20-part album holy shit. This record is

Hip-hop will always be more than just empty flexes about money, power, and grind. roar taylor‘s latest album “kostner” proves that point. Beneath the surface lies ambition, survival, and above all, authenticity — the DNA of the culture itself. kostner is a 10-part project from Chicago-based hip-hop artist roar taylor. This album has been in

Dee Dasher’s Conscious Home is an album that’s simultaneously grounded in her Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania roots and ambitious enough to flirt with big legacy energy. Let’s get one thing out of the way: Dee Dasher’s voice. If Stevie Nicks ever wandered into the 21st century folk-pop landscape, clutching a ukulele instead of a tambourine, she

So, Meena put out an album called Different Now. And honestly? It is. Different, that is. It’s one of those records that refuses to sit down politely and say, “Here’s a genre you can file me under.” Instead, it leaps across shoegaze, trip-hop, electronics, and whatever other moods happen to pass through the studio, then

Chris Portka truly understands what makes music great and timeless. You won’t get anything half-baked, or a contrived attempt to be familiar. The Album Everyone Wants is true to its name, not because it’s anchored in mainstream trends but because it’s completely its own, honest and intentional. The Album Everyone Wants is Chris Portka’s most

I can pretty much sum up what it means to be an artist today, but instead of writing thousands and thousands of words, I’ll let Jordan Corey’s newest album, “the tunnel + the light” show you. The wah guitar riff throughout the first track, “Friend Like Me,” fits the overall vibe of the track. If
