Keeana Kee “Tik Tok”: The Ultimate Summer Anthem Groover City
Finding the Price Tag on Your Soul I’ve had those moments - quiet, ugly ones - when you realize you’ve been feeding someone else’s hunger while starving yourself. Dedrick Soul’s I’d Be A Fortune lives right in that space. Written and produced by Dedrick himself, this track feels like it comes from a man who’s done the long, slow math of self-worth and finally carried the one. Born out of […]
Angel Haniel's Clearing: Karen Salicath's Morning Gift from the Other Side There are songs that are written, songs that are produced, and then there are songs that just arrive. Angel Haniel’s Clearing by Karen Salicath is one of those rare ones. A piece that came fully formed, as if waiting to be heard, waiting for someone to listen. Released on July 11, this song it slows things down and offers […]
Finding the Price Tag on Your Soul I’ve had those moments - quiet, ugly ones - when you realize you’ve been feeding someone else’s hunger while starving yourself. Dedrick Soul’s I’d Be A Fortune lives right in that space. Written and produced by Dedrick himself, this track feels like it comes from a man who’s done the long, slow math of self-worth and finally carried the one. Born out of Oakland, raised in the shadows of unreturned love, the song […]
Still Loading the Van, Still Believing There’s something beautifully stubborn about The Fades. A four-piece from South West London, hurling their sound like a Molotov of post-punk, garage rock, and indie chaos into the noise void. Fully aware it might echo back as silence. And yet, they keep showing up. Sweating on pub stages, hauling amps into corners of the UK you won’t find on any music blog, because that’s what you do when you're in too deep to quit […]
The Tune That Walked In Just Like That I wasn’t exactly looking for a new track when Wholly You by Jon Gold showed up. I had tabs open, deadlines breathing down my neck, and a half-drunk tea gone cold beside me. Still, something about that title made me click play. Everything felt natural - the rhythm, the phrasing, even the way the melody unfolded without rushing. It had a pulse, steady and sure, like it had something clear to say […]
Freud, Harpsichords, and Purple Trains There’s something uncomfortably human about dreams. That weird, disjointed cinema of the subconscious where you’re chasing purple trains or being flipped off by Al Gore. Most of us wake up, shake it off, and go make coffee. But Noel David? He turns it into music. Hey Dr. Freud is the closer to Leon’s Imagination, an album named after his own mirror-self. Leon being Noel spelled backwards. It’s not some clever setup. It’s just how his […]

Angel Haniel’s Clearing by Karen Salicath is one of those rare ones. A piece that came fully formed, as if waiting to be heard, waiting for someone to listen. Released on July 11, this song it slows things down and offers a clearing in the noise. Born from Dreams, Guided by […]
Proklaim - One Voice That Knows Its Roots When I hit play on Creepin/Further, it felt less like a single and more like a direct transmission from a studio somewhere in Windhoek. One of those places where walls remember lyrics and cables still smell like yesterday’s session. It lands as it is. Straightforward, but not empty. Just focused, poured straight into a mic and sealed with instinct. Sometimes that’s all I ask from a track. Proklaim returns with something sharp […]
A Lullaby You Don’t Want to End Some songs feel like conversations I’ve had in my head. Maybe that's why Holy - the latest release by Jacre and Lucie Glang - made me stop what I was doing and just sit there for a while. A lullaby that tiptoes in and just... stays. I’ve written about Jacre before - usually feeling this tug, this softness that got under my skin, quietly. But this track? This one parked itself somewhere between […]
Back-to-back like it’s schoolyard business I don’t know what you’re doing when you press play on a new rap track. Maybe you’re half-checking emails, maybe you’re staring at your ceiling waiting for some God-tier beat to land and save your day. But I hit play on BMT and immediately got that old-school pulse in the chest. No dramatic intro, no mood-setting hook, just two voices cracking knuckles. They showed up with bars loaded and rhythm in their bones. They came […]
I wasn’t deep into rock twenty or thirty years ago. Still, I always felt connected to it - my first job was in radio, and I've stuck with it ever since, for more than 25 years now. Over time, I’ve learned to love them all, one riff and one story at a time. And today, I find myself shifting from celebrating yet another rock release… to mourning the passing of someone who felt like a friend. Bigger than the hits, […]
