Proklaim Creepin/Further – New Beats on the Pulse of Windhoek

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 […]

Holy by Jacre & Lucie Glang – A Love Song for the Quiet Rebels

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 […]

Mz Goes BMT – A Bar-for-Bar Beatdown with Cabra on the Mic

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 […]

Ozzy Osbourne: The Farewell Show That Became a Last Goodbye

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, […]

Casket Rats Unleash ‘Whiskey Queen’ with Raw Boston Firepower

STREET FIGHTS, SWEAT, AND ‘WHISKEY QUEEN’ A handshake’s a nice idea - until it isn’t. You don’t show up to a Casket Rats gig expecting manners. You come for the punch, the growl, the boots planted firm in dirty basement stages while amps bleed through the drywall. And Whiskey Queen, the latest riot from Boston’s hard rock ruffians, is just that: a sweaty, full-throttle blitz of riffs and grit, served with a side of middle fingers and reverence for the […]

Leonie Sherif Twilight – Amapiano Nights Under Electric Stillness

AMAPIANO, AFTER DARK, AND THAT WEIRDLY FEELING There’s this moment - usually somewhere between your last drink and that split second before your body gives in - where your brain drifts into a half-dream. That’s where I landed when I hit play on TWILIGHT (Sp Deville Remix) by Leonie Sherif. One second in and I’m already floating somewhere between incense smoke and London pavement. Familiar and surreal. The bass moves like something breathing heavy in the background, I feel it. […]

MICALL’s Have A Home – Healing Through Heartbreak And Notes

A Piano, A Goodbye, and A Good Song Three years. That’s how long it took for MICALL's Have A Home to be born. Not from convenience or a sound pack loop, but from sweat, sentiment, and a grand piano. I’ve listened to hundreds of songs that aim for the heart and barely graze it. I skipped them. But this one lives there. MICALL lives in Los Angeles, but her music feels like it comes from somewhere older and deeper. Raised […]

Cali Tucker ‘Last Name’ Breaks the Mold And Keeps the Soul

When Legacy Doesn’t Pay the Bills You’d think having a famous last name might open all the right doors. Red carpets. Champagne. A spot in the front pew of country music’s sacred circle. But no. Cali Tucker’s latest release Last Name is not the story of riding coattails. It’s the story of standing on stage with your own damn boots, whether or not the crowd claps. And that, my friends, strikes a nerve. Not because it’s some rags-to-riches tale - […]

KP Hawthorn’s Fool’s Gold – Americana’s Bruised Heart

Just a Song? That’s What I Thought Too KP Hawthorn’s Fool’s Gold: There’s something about this song that made me stop everything I was doing. Not pause - stop. I was mid-email, mid-scroll, mid-whatever, and then Fool’s Gold played, and I realized the song had better self-awareness than most people I know. KP Hawthorn pushes it open and sets her stories on the table, right next to your coffee cup. And I like that. I’ve missed that. KP Hawthorn’s Fool’s […]
