Even after Soccer Mommy toyed around in the experimental electronic pop realm with last year’s one-off single “Rom Com 2004,” a collaboration with Bon Iver/Low producer BJ Burton, I cannot say I ever expected Sophie Allison’s next album to be produced by Daniel Lopatin. Yet here we are: The follow-up to 2020’s magnificent color theory […]

Lykki Li – “No Hotel”
The dramatic and intense Swedish pop star Lykke Li has been relatively quiet lately. Back in 2020, she released “BRON,” her first-ever Swedish-language single. Since then, it’s been crickets. Today, though, Lykke Li has surprise-released a new single called “No Hotel.” It’s very pretty and very, very sad. There’s not a whole lot of instrumentation […]
The Range – “Ricercar”
The Range returned with his first proper single in six years, “Bicameral,” at the end of January — it made our list of the best songs of that week — and today he’s back with news of a new album called Mercury, his follow-up to 2016’s excellent Potential. We’re also getting a new single today, […]

42 Dugg & EST Gee – “Free The Shiners”
Detroit’s 42 Dugg and Louisville’s EST Gee have a lot in common. They’re two of the biggest no-frills street-rappers to come along in the past few years. They both bring a whole lot of personality to a rap subgenre that could always use a whole lot more personality. They’re both signed to Yo Gotti’s thriving […]
Video: Dreezy “Covid Flow”
Dose of Dreezy. Dreezy is sick with the flow on her latest release, “Covid Flow”. Over Bankroll’s instrumental, the 4x Grammy nominated and multi-platinum rapper flexes ill raps during a photoshoot, a cruise through the streets, the studio, and a lush patio by the pool.
