Some songs tell you a story about heartbreak. Others make you feel it. Intermittent Love from Exzenya, does both and then has the audacity to pull up a whiteboard and explain exactly how the heartbreak happened, complete with psychological terminology. It’s a soul-infused pop/R&B track built not just on emotion, but on the cold, clinical […]
Some songs announce themselves like they’re running for office. Big choruses, flashy riffs, a handshake for every voter. Fiona Amaka’s Cowards and Shadows is… not that.

This song shows up in an old hoodie, probably recorded at 2 a.m. with a half-finished drink nearby, and yet somehow still manages to sound sharper
Immediately flabbergasted by the vocal range and integrity, listeners are instantly pulled into a fast-flowing, extremely western vibe and progression that is “Dog ‘N All”. It’s a creative and endearing song about love and getting together, I mean, who can say no to someone who has a furry little friend all set to go? Having

The Armchair Captains’ latest album The Shrub Layer is named after that part of the forest that sits awkwardly between the canopy and the soil, full of smaller plants, brambles, and a surprising amount of life you’ll never see unless you get your knees muddy.
