Debby Friday’s ‘good luck’ is very clear to see ahead of debut album

Debby Friday; Courtesy: @katrinbraga Toronto-based singer and emcee, DEBBY FRIDAY, has released the stellar track ‘So Hard to Tell’ from her debut full length album, ‘Good Luck’ out everywhere on March 24.

Megan’s Rule: Being exceptional doesn’t make you the exception

Megan Thee Stallion. Amanda Howell Whitehurst for NPR In December 2022, one of the biggest trials of the year unfolded in LA.
