With a rich, silky voice and the crushingly honest lyricism to match, Marcus King has made a clear name for himself at the intersection of country, Americana, and soul music. After getting nominated for a Grammy for his previous album El Dorado, Marcus King is back for more, with even more honesty and vulnerability. The album comes as a collaboration with famed producer Rick Rubin, recorded at Rubin’s Shangri-La Studios […]

With a backdrop of rolling hills, cicadas, and the hot sun’s final appearance of the day, I sit across from THE BAND LIGHT on the steps of East Iris Studios. There’s a cool breeze, and four cool boys sprawled in front of me like a Rolling Stone cover from the late ‘70s. They’re a fairly new – and fairly young – band in Nashville, but they share an air of […]
Few things bring Nashville together like country music and cowboy boots, and Dylan Gossett’s 4/9 Exit/In show is no exception. With a sweet and syrupy singing voice and an acoustic guitar to match, Dylan Gossett gave Nashville what it needed – some verses to belt in good company at a legendary venue. With Gossett’s gravelly vocals and emotional lyrics, it’s easy to understand how he brings you to tears. To […]
Taking the music industry by storm, Em Beihold’s songs have made a mark with her authentically transparent and honest lyrics that speak to the heart as much as the soul. Her 2022 hit “Numb Little Bug” went platinum, establishing her as a musical force to be reckoned with and forming her eclectic and loving fanbase. To date, she has earned one billion streams across platforms – she is here and […]
Dove Armitage started her music career started unlike most – by playing video games. Bouncing between the console and her grandma’s electric piano, Dove would try to play the video game melodies, stopping only when she figured out exactly how they came out on the piano. These video game theme songs still hold a place in her music, a deeply embedded nostalgia. I had the pleasure of interviewing Dove, […]
In the wake of Troye Sivan’s euphoric new album Something To Give Each Other and Omar Apollo’s Live for Me, as well as my own discovery of both Tiberius b and Miki Ratsula, I’m reminded again what it means to make characteristically queer* music. * For clarity and ease, I use the term “queer music” to describe an umbrella term that includes all LGBTQ+ artists and their music Sivan’s […]
With Halloween around the corner and a few more parties left before the weekend is out, let me introduce you to the next song you need to queue: “SWEET TEMPTATION” by DMAD. For anyone out there, like myself, that is getting into the intersection between hip-hop and house music, DMAD’s new single is for you. As the song starts a cartoon villain comes to mind, the beat consisting of […]

A foggy haze falls over the stage as Tom Odell takes his place at the piano. He quietly takes a sip of a rocks glass, instantly transporting the crowd to an old but familiar time. With just one song, the slow lull of the music crescendos into him belting, a glissando cascading on the piano like an old school blues rocker. Somehow, I had never heard of the 10-year career […]

With her self-proclaimed “shadowy avant-pop glitch rock” in its full glory, Dove Armitage’s new single “Sex on Display” vulnerably reveals her, with every part on full display. Quincy Larsen, the voice behind Dove Armitage, says she is “embracing the scary moments and the darkness that exists in each of us.” With her EP Concernless to be released on November 3rd, Dove Armitage is deepening the identity of her sound, […]
