Track Review

“fly in the milk,” if you’re unfamiliar, is a metaphor for the unique and often alienating experience of being a Black person in a predominantly white space. And it’s not just about awkward moments at work or being the only Black guy at the indie folk concert, it’s about the broader societal forces that make […]

One for Georgie immediately starts with an upscale, upbeat tune that will sweep you off your feet – it only keeps this vibe up, gradually getting better as the song progresses. The man called ‘Georgie’ in the song (“Georgie, Georgie, where are you?”) refers to George Best, the late Manchester United legend. As such, this

Right off the bat, everything about “The Simian” seems fresh and high quality, like every instrument and every detail is meant to be there. We’ve got Kris Yunker, Ben Atkind, Ari Joshua, and Jason Hann from The String Cheese Incident to thank for that. Not only is it a feel-good-esque song, but it’s also quite

There’s nothing better than a song that sounds and feels good at the same time – “Insecurities” inflicts the feeling of wanting to bop your head to how great it sounds, and because the meaning behind everything is something you can relate to. First of all, everything about this track is clear as day. DayEyez

Kent-based duo The Worry People are unleashing an interesting banger of a track with their latest single, Stamp. Stamp dives headfirst into a darker, more intense sound from what the band normally dabbles in. It’s a sonic shift that feels less like a gentle nudge and more like a desperate scream into the void. With

Starting off with techie vibes, slowly transitioning to a more indie/alternative tune that incorporates that same 8-bit element to the mix, “Get There Before Noon – LA Mix” carries on a feel-good aura all throughout, sound and meaning-wise. The title is already motivation itself – get there before noon; don’t waste anymore time. The Afro

Straightforward, and has a preach-like consistency all throughout. Eddie Cohn’s new single, “Wheels Stop”, comes in strong, powerful in all ways, coherently expressing the raw feeling and desire to break free in a way that listeners will never want to stop listening to. Cohn’s vocals grace the song beautifully, setting the standard and prompting his

Ray Noir claims that this song feels as though he’s “planning his own funeral”, and he’d be right – one thing’s for sure: he’s going out with a bang. Everything about “Razorblade Romance” just sounds high quality, full, and well-put together. It’s definitely something that would get you jamming, something played and mixed at a

Ekelle definitely aims to empower through slick rhymes and catchy beats through her new single, “Kiss the Ring”. It narrates a successful lifestyle in style and fashion, automatically earning its spot on nightclub and night drive playlists. The assertion of capability and dominance through the lines themselves work hand-in-hand with how it’s all delivered. “How
