Track Review

Jesabel’s “Woman in the Woods” is not your standard empowerment single; the kind that gets slapped on a Spotify playlist called “Goddess Energy” and forgotten five minutes later. No, this one’s operating on a different register: it’s part mystical fairytale, part commentary on the nightmare we call society, and part proof that Jesabel would absolutely […]

“War Within” opens like it’s auditioning for the trailer of a blockbuster that doesn’t exist yet. That’s not an insult; it’s actually the hook. HZPROD knows how to make his beats sound important. The arpeggios climb like someone pacing in a war room, the drums hit with the weight of incoming artillery, and before anyone’s

Let me start by asking you a simple question. What makes love worth it? Before you answer that, let me say yes, you are correct. Let Cydan‘s newest track, “falling 4 u,” give you a different perspective and see if it still aligns with your answer. “falling 4 u” started with this melodic riff that

The ability to call out someone with grace? That’s a rare gem where it’s either bitterness, agony, or desperation that dominates the scene. Freya Magee flips the whole script with her latest single with Forget Yourself Not, and it feels like the last words you’d throw at someone to preserve yourself. Freya Magee is an

So when Michellar puts out “Never Say Sorry,” marking their one-year milestone in the music

In a world where mainstream pop is the go-to move, Brian Hunsaker’s single, “Power Over You,” decided to give us a taste of what real hard rock is. “Power Over You” started with a cinematic feel like walking in a deserted area imagery because of the guitar progression alongside the melodical phrasing. Brian’s voice works

You can’t go wrong with music that feels like a dual experience: sometimes painful, sometimes unexpectedly bright. Audius carries that exact energy with his latest single “Trigger”. Audius isn’t exactly new in the scene, offering his range from Urban to Amapiano and countless production collaborations with emerging artists. But even with over 20 years of

Collaborations in rock often feel like a blind date: sometimes you discover chemistry, sometimes you discover why you should never trust your friends to set you up. “Worth It”, the third time Los Angeles alt-rockers Love Ghost and UK outfit The Skinner Brothers have decided to see each other, thankfully lands in the category of

One of the most striking things about music is it will always leave space for you to find meaning in it. The House Flies lets you dwell on that space with their latest single “Sweet Foxhound”. The House Flies is a US-based Midwest gothic post-punk band. They recently have expanded their band’s lineup and this

Some producers build beats that feel like a warm backdrop. On his latest single Shadows, Lucas Burn builds beats that feel like a haunted house collapsing around you. His latest single, Shadows, isn’t content to be “cinematic” in the way that gets tossed around casually. Instead, it plunges straight into horrorcore territory, summoning the dread-soaked
