Baby Rose - YEARNALISM (Secretly Canadian) Baby Rose has returned to completely heal our souls with her third studio album, YEARNALISM, out now via Secretly Canadian.

Recorded straight to tape using vintage studio gear, the album prioritizes imperfect, deeply human first takes over hyper-processed pop perfection. Her singular, smoky vocal delivery […]

When Chuck Strangers sits down to talk about Glory of the King's Hand (Lex Records), it feels less like a standard promo run and more like a late-night chat with an old friend. He opens up about how this album represents a major shift in perspective: it's all about playing the cards you're dealt instead of measuring your life with someone else's ruler.

Courtesy of Artist For this episode, I sat down with an incredible artist whose creativity delves into the margins of our lives. Some artists write songs. Mereba writes memories. In this conversation, the singer-songwriter reflected on the moment she first fell in love with writing, the profound influence of her father and brother on the artist she has become, and the deep connection she still feels to her mother’s Milwaukee roots. She also opened up about one of the most […]
Ibeyi – Offering (AWAL Recordings) French-Cuban twin sisters Lisa-Kaindé and Naomi Diaz return with Offering, their fourth studio album that stretches their mesmerizing global soundscapes into grander, experimental territories. Known for blending modern electronic elements with traditional Yorùbá chants and Afro-Cuban percussion, the duo reaches a brilliant creative peak here. The production feels delightfully restless, contrasting heavy rhythm sections with delicate, baroque melodies. The record is previewed by the post-industrial R&B jam and lead single "Moshpit," which floats somewhere beautifully […]
