Sydney melodic hardcore heavyweights Bloom have just announced their second full-length album The Light We Chase, spookily due out this Halloween (October 31). And if lead single ‘Withered’ is anything to go by, we’re in for the band’s most gut-wrenching and ambitious work yet. The follow-up to 2022’s In Passing LP was born from a storm of emotional chaos — crumbling relationships, crises of trust, and moments of staring into the proverbial abyss. Bloom – ‘Withered’ “You can’t catch light in your hands, and you can’t have darkness without the light casting its shadow,” drummer Jack Van Vliet explains, calling…
American artist Tyler J Music has just shared his brand new single Your Holy Name, a Trap-infused, Contemporary R&B/Christian Pop music. What I like the most about this song is the passionate and confident vocal delivery and how it is nicely paired with an effortless rap flow that makes the song stand out even more. A collaboration with fellow artists Jimmy Mor, Mike Teezy and DEON, Your Holy Name is their way to show their devotion and love for God, giving Him all the glory no matter what life looks like. I am really enjoying the trap-infused beat which is nicely…
Ana Navarro is calling on Gloria Gaynor to turn down an invite into the 2025 class of Kennedy Center Honorees in light of Donald Trump‘s involvement in the awards, with the polarizing president taking over this year’s awards process months after overhauling the institution’s board. In a Thursday (Aug. 14) post on Instagram, The View host shared a photo of the disco legend and opened up about her love for Gaynor’s signature hit. “A few years ago, I got to briefly meet @gloriagaynor at a concert in Miami,” she wrote in the caption. “She gifted me a keychain that belted…

American Pop artist Blake Neal shares his brand new single Nervous, a high-tempo alt-pop track dripping with late-night tension and flirty vulnerability. His third release as an artist, out now via Dean Sparks Records, Nervous finds the talented artist capturing the intoxicating blend of lust, desire and vulnerability that comes with a new, magnetic attraction. A dancefloor confession about lust, longing, and losing your cool when they’re in the room, Nervous shares a longing for deeper connection beneath all the flirtation and sensual games. I am really enjoying the tone of his voice, super smooth and soothing, yet very expressive and…
Press release – The band’s new track blends heavy metal, history, and reflections on the formation of South American nations. Armahda, a band known for turning chapters of Brazilian history into music, has released “Silver Tears,” the third single from their upcoming album. The track revisits the events of the Cisplatine War (1825–1828), a decisive conflict between newly independent Brazil and the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata, which led to the foundation of the Oriental Republic of Uruguay. With a section sung in Spanish, the song pays direct homage to the Uruguayan people and offers a pluralistic…
Berlin-based singer and songwirter Christian List has just shared his brand new single On The Beach, a bittersweet, somewhat melancholic, genre-bending ode to the sea! On The Beach finds the talented artist sharing a reflection on loss and change where the beach becomes a place of memories and introspection. I am loving how smooth and passionate Christian List’s vocals are, effortlessly capturing my attention from start to finish. Accompanying his passionate, heartfelt delivery we have acoustic guitar plucks that are nicely intertwine with lush synth textures, and the warm tones of pedal steel that come together to create an overall warm,…
A governor in Mexico has defended booking Marilyn Manson for a state fair as a “defence of freedom of expression”. The musician performed a free show in the Mexican state of San Luis Potosí on August 10, pulling in a crowd of over 205,000 people. Ahead of the gig, the planned performance was met with controversy from local religious groups, who deemed Manson’s presence “inappropriate”. It comes as Manson has been the subject of a slew of allegations in recent years: he was accused of rape and domestic violence by four women, which he repeatedly denied as “falsehoods”. The case ended at…

In May 2024, the head-to-head dis track shoot-out between Drake and Kendrick Lamar escalated sharply. Drake released “Family Matters,” lobbing accusations of infidelity and abuse — but Compton’s finest was ready. Twenty minutes later, Lamar dropped the blistering “Meet the Grahams,” a 6-and-a-half-minute surgical dismantling of his foe. The release caught one particular listener by surprise: The Alchemist, who had produced its eerily methodical beat. “I was getting a haircut,” he says on Zoom from his Santa Monica, Calif., studio, framed by shelves teeming with records. Though the descending piano sample pairs perfectly with Lamar’s dead-eyed calm on the track,…
