Single Review

As Addison frantically dances around a burning field during the song’s bridge, an ad-lib in the song comes in: “I know how to make the hard things look really easy.” Damn right.

Pop culture is anything but minimalist. It’s an inescapable flash-bang of everything. And who doesn’t get tired of a constant reminder?

Weaving romantic and platonic themes, Black Country, New Road masterfully combines the evocative lyricism of their first album with the collaborative composition of their last.

Thronged with dreamy harmonics and perfected cultural references, “Aquamarine” is unlike anything Rae has released before.

What better way, then, to jumpstart our frozen hearts with a high energy anthem for the disenchanted, messy, and procrastination-prone, than with “To Know You’re Screwed is to Know a Lot,” the latest single release from LA-based rock duo Mediocre.

The sincerity she puts into her lyrics has continually set her apart from other up-and-coming bedroom pop stars. “Amelie,” the third single off her upcoming album Good Riddance, is no different.

The three horsemen of melancholia — Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus — make their musical return as boygenius with the perfect seasonal depression soundtrack. the record, released on January 18, 2023, is boygenius’s first set of singles since their self-titled EP in 2018. 

New York-based indie folk artist Kevin Atwater (he/him) is known for his gut wrenching, tender and endearing queer love songs and his latest single “christopher street” is no different.
