Some artists’ impact on music is undeniable and really, undebatable. Take Prince for example, his music lives on everywhere in modern music from the rockstar showmanship of Bruno Mars to the production of singer-songwriters like Chocc.

If there is one era of history I could travel back to, it’s the 1970s. The fashion, the vibes, the music. It’s really about the music and trying to have a chance with Harrison Ford.

With her last record, the songwriting was placed in the forefront. This time... Continue Reading →

October 25th. During lunch, I listened to as much as I could of The Great Impersonator, the latest album from Halsey in which she pays homage to those who’ve inspired her throughout her three decades on earth from the gravel-voiced Jersey boy to Iceland’s favorite swan-wearing artist.

Lucy Isabel recently dropped an album that felt very much like a Disney princess, and while I got the same vocal delights from Cashavelly on 2024’s Meditation Through Gunfire - this was as if that princess realized the prince was actually trash. Cashavelly proves within the confines of 16 tracks to be a woman with... Continue Reading →

Who is ready for some delightful, airy folk music? If you raised your hand, please turn your attention to All the Light, the sophomore LP from Lucy Isabel. 10 songs deep, All the Light feels more personal than a lot of the music one hears on Top 40 radio.
