LaCosta Tucker And Your Shadow’s Gone – A Country Comeback

Every time I come across an artist like LaCosta Tucker, I find myself thinking about how strange and beautiful music can be. Decades pass, trends come and go, entire generations grow up, while a handful of voices keep moving forward and finding new roads. An obvious reminder that experience, talent, and passion never go out of fashion. LaCosta Tucker's Your Shadow's Gone arrived on my desk carrying all three. John K Faye wrote it, Roger Ball produced it, and LaCosta […]

Kabusa Oriental Choir Reimagine ‘Folded’ Through Afrosoul

I've been in music for a long time. Long enough to think I had a decent grip on African music, which I've always loved. Then Kabusa Oriental Choir arrive with Folded, and show me how much ground I still have left to cover. And I swear to God, that's a good feeling. I like when music does that. Kabusa Oriental Choir and the Abuja Spark Kabusa Oriental Choir started in Abuja, Nigeria, back on 11 March 2019. It all began […]

Tori Lord Faces the Fame-Shaped Illusion with Conman

Fame does strange things to people. Some start protecting access like medieval templars protecting the Holy Grail they’ve seen and we don’t. I’ve seen it too many times. Music industry, nightlife, social media circus… same film, different wigs. And Tori Lord grabs that exact feeling by the throat on Conman, her latest single release. The New York–based Canadian artist takes a long stare at the kind of person who slowly bends themselves into shinier version. Just to stay invited inside […]

YACOVELLI Dropped ‘Since Emilia’, Bringing The Grunge Back

Sometimes I enjoy music the most when somebody brings an unusual instrument through a dirty rock song, and somehow makes the whole thing feel alive again. A baglama opening a neo-grunge track from New York? Beautiful. That tiny Greek folk instrument sounds like it escaped from a cigarette-filled tavern somewhere near the sea, jumped into a taxi, then ended up smashed against distorted guitars in Hell’s Kitchen. That's the kind of strange decision I respect. YACOVELLI’s new single Since Emilia […]

Jonas Blue Drops Girl – Another Defected Summer House Heat

Will it be hot this summer? Probably. The weather people already have their red maps ready, looking like someone spilled hot sauce over Europe. However, dancefloors have their own forecast. And Jonas Blue just walked in with a fan, sunglasses, and Girl - his new Defected release coming out on 29 May 2026. I think I need some air. Just imagine… people pretend they know the lyrics after one chorus. After Edge Of Desire with Malive turned into a global […]

Ho Jo Fro Rebuilds Broken Ties on When Did You Knock

Just for those who don’t know too much about me - I have a brother. Life kept us in different countries for too long, and yes, I miss him, even after all those childhood fights where love looked suspiciously like a small domestic war. I’m saying this because the next song on my radar belongs to Ho Jo Fro and is called “When Did You Knock?” Now I will tell my thing on this one, especially because it comes with […]

Alternative Rock

Riley Finch Burns Through Inner Chains with ‘My Own Flame’

I think people need lessons about reclaiming identity after spending too much time trying to fit into other people’s expectations. Elementary school material, probably. Maths, spelling, emotional survival. Useful stuff. Riley Finch arrives with My Own Flame and brings the manual nobody printed. I listened and found those darker edges, and that lovely human habit of pretending we’re fine, while we are actually chewing glass. After her 2025 album Only When You Come, Riley keeps shaping a world built around longing, […]

Song From the Other Side of a Mistake: Fallen by Micayla Shafran

I keep thinking about that phone call. The one from an unknown number. The one you answer faster than dignity allows because maybe it is your mother calling from the other side of a mistake. We all go wrong sometimes. Some people break plates. Other break hearts. Some end up behind bars. Life has that nasty little habit of testing love right where it hurts most, then watching how long you can cope with it. That is the bloodline running […]

Electronic

Solardo Unleashed Forever with Defected – Heat Is Back To House

Honestly, for a duo that came from the huge tech-house boom years, Solardo survived better than many others. A lot of acts from that era became formula machines. Meanwhile, these two still sound like blokes who actually enjoy standing inside a sweaty club with a pint in one hand and a bassline rattling the floorboards under their trainers. Forever arrives through Defected like Solardo remembered where the chaos and groove came from in the first place. Real movement. You can […]
