Track Review

Having more women representation in music that used to be a male-dominated field, shows how much of its landscape is changing. Hence, it’s nice to hear Koburg, a one-woman band who writes her own music and performs all the vocals and instruments. She continues to break boundaries with Painted Stars that demonstrated her ability to […]

If you’ve ever wondered what it would sound like if a cowboy with a heart of gold and a twinkle in his eye wrote a feminist anthem disguised as a honky-tonk double entendre, Rusty Jackson’s “She Likes to be on Top” is exactly that. On the surface, it sounds like your standard country toe-tapper, complete

Let’s be honest: 2000s piano rock was kind of the emotional support blanket of an entire generation.

The track has upbeat and catchy hooks capturing carefree and energizing beats which feels like a perfect anthem for summer. Star2 is a Thai refugee who was forced to flee from his homeland due to

We’ve gotten so used to romantic, fun, and unrequited love songs about gender and sexuality (not that it’s a bad thing!), that we sometimes forget the reality of societal prejudices and oppression behind it. There’s a lot to unpack with the Cardiff queercore punks Small Miracles as they release their bold, raw, and dauntless single

Distance can be a downer, let’s face it. In fact, it can even feel like you’re light years away from the ones you love. Sunrise in Jupiter takes that cosmic concept into this song, and maybe even so in their album Mission to Mars Vol. 1. With how they approach these feelings, they have turned

SkyDxddy dropped a new track called “Choker”, and it’s essentially what happens when you take all the emotional volatility of a late-night Tumblr post, filter it through a digital haze of trap percussion and moody synths, and then somehow make it really work.
