- Maisie Peters is in Full Bloom with New Album ‘florescence’
Spring has sprung, and so has Maisie Peters; after an electric run as an opener for Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour” (and a handful of heartbreaks), Peters is back in full force to tell the world that something new has blossomed in her life: love. For her third studio album, florescence, Peters is trading devastation for…
- Stella Lefty’s Debut EP ‘Is This Heaven?’ is a Breath of Fresh Air in an Overcrowded Genre
Country music has a crowding problem. For every artist carving out something genuine, there are a dozen more leaning on the same bro country tropes, the same truck and tailgate imagery, the same production shortcuts. Stella Lefty‘s debut EP Is This Heaven? doesn’t have that problem. It sounds like someone who actually has something to…
- RAYE’s ‘THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE.’ is the Most Ambitious Album You’ll Hear This Year
RAYE’s sophomore record “THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE.” is the kind of body of work that makes genre labels feel inadequate. Jazz, R&B, classical, pop, rap, orchestral swell. It moves through all of it with a confidence that never feels scattered. It just feels like RAYE, and at this point that’s a genre unto itself. …
- REVIEW: Why Jack Harlow’s ‘Monica’ Comes Up Short
Jack Harlow has always been more interesting as a persona than a writer. He returns with “Monica,” a project that feels more personal, restrained, and intentional than anything he’s released before. Where his earlier work often leaned on charisma and clever one-liners, “Monica” trades some of that flash for introspection and the result is easily…
- Forget Harry’s House – It’s Harry’s World Now: Harry Styles Releases “Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally.”
It’s been four years since Harry Styles has released new music. What has he been doing for all this time, you may ask? Kissing all the time. Discoing, occasionally. For his long-awaited fourth studio album, “Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally.,” Styles returns with a synth-heavy vengeance. In an interview with Apple Music, the singer…
- “luck…or something”: Hilary Duff’s Return to Music is What Dreams Are Made Of
Lizzie McGuire may have been an outfit repeater, but I’m a Hilary Duff rememberer. There was nothing better than sitting in front of the tv on my living room floor, watching Lizzie and her cartoon mini-me deliver an inner monologue as I dreamed about my own teenage years. Now imagine the same cartoon, but raunchier…
- Katie Tupper’s ‘Greyhound’ Finds Beauty in the Chase
It’s a rarity when a debut album is released and sounds like an artist already fully formed, but that’s exactly what you get with Katie Tupper’s debut album, “Greyhound.” Blending prairie-born folk, modern R&B, and smoky soul, the record unfolds like a series of late-night conversations. Tupper doesn’t rush you into “Greyhound.” The opening track,…
- Eight Years Later: A$AP Rocky Chooses Artistry Over Chart Dominance with “Don’t Be Dumb”
At long last, A$AP Rocky’s newest album, “Don’t Be Dumb” arrives under the weight of nearly eight years of anticipation, and rather than chasing the sound that first brought him to mainstream dominance, he leans heavily into experimentation. The result is a project that prioritizes atmosphere, aesthetic ambition, and artistic identity over chart-driven urgency. It’s…
- It’s Not That Deep – And Somehow, It Is : Demi Lovato Releases New Album
After a decade-spanning ride through the entertainment industry, Grammy-nominated pop powerhouse Demi Lovato has come to one conclusion: It’s Not That Deep. Her ninth studio album, It’s Not That Deep, is the perfect combination of club classics and cultivated confidence; it’s here, in the pulsing euphoria of the dance floor, where Lovato shines brighter than…
- Amanda Shires Finds Her Fire on ‘Nobody’s Girl,’ and Brings It to the ‘Silver Deliverer Tour’
When Amanda Shires hits the stage at Boston’s Roadrunner this Sunday, she’ll be bringing some new material with her. Nobody’s Girl, released just last month, is a sweeping, emotionally charged album that shows Shires at her most honest. The Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, and fiddle virtuoso joins pop duo Aly & AJ as the direct support…
