There’s a specific kind of tension that runs through Sorry Not Sorry, the second EP from London-based singer, songwriter, and producer EL$ON. It’s the tension between wanting to move on and not quite being ready to let go. This project feels less like a comeback and more like a confession. The shift in identity isn’t […]
If you’ve never heard a collection of tracks that feels less like music and more like a medieval arc series, An Dan’s “Blood Flooded Song” EP definitely works like a tragic manuscript where love isn’t nostalgia but a legend and damnation passed down through generations. An Dan is a five-man heavy metal Greek band based

“Even Steven” arrives with a grin on its face and a strange little secret under the hood. At first listen, it sounds like a lost single from some alternate late-’70s radio dial; it’s warm, slightly off-kilter and charming in the way only songs with actual personalities can be. But behind that easygoing retro glow is

You’ll definitely understand why Giffy Plugo describes “Douda Deluxe” as a grown-man rap. In a pool of albums built out of trends and never-ending clout, there are few records that carry authenticity while remaining firmly grounded. To cut it short, this is swag that isn’t borrowed but something that’s earned. Giffy Plugo is a Chicago-born

I guess the easiest way to explain this EP is to say that Vincent Projects sounds like someone found a lost heavy metal band from the late ’70s, right before they accidentally flew into the Bermuda Triangle, and decided to finish mixing the tapes out of sheer curiosity. Not in a nostalgia-bait, “remember when rock
Some debut albums try so hard to fit into trends, some even fall for the polished, hollow sounds that trades artistic identity for applause. But Aseo Deogeo’s debut album “Revenge” is one the few that gives you bops along with character and personality. Hailing from Memphis, TN, Aseo Deogeo is an author, school teacher, and

“Fire Escape” feels like the musical equivalent of standing on your apartment balcony at 2 a.m., staring at nothing in particular, and suddenly realizing you might be okay. Not fixed, not magically transformed into a better version of yourself, but okay enough to keep going. That quiet, hard-earned reassurance is the emotional center of Cooper

Some tracks feel so catchy and ready for fun sing-alongs—until you actually listen, and the heartbreak isn’t subtle anymore.
