“Freely Maneuvering Without Obstacles is Ecstasy for me.”: Harun Rune Himself Becomes Generous, and Affluent
Honestly, you could be a little jealous of this artist. Harun Rune from North London managed to write a track – and the fashion house Moschino came to say “thank you” itself. 380 thousand streams, an entire archive of the brand’s pieces at home and a song they want to play at shows. Seems like…

HUNT3R DOM: Quicksand You Want to Stay In – “Sabbie Mobili (Balla Radio Mix)”
Every metropolis has its own musical portrait. New York hums with the bass of the subway, Lisbon trembles with fado in its evening alleys, and Milan – Milan pulses. The Central Station at midnight, lights that never go out, people who are rushing somewhere or, on the contrary, deliberately slowing down. It is in this…

“The Song Should be Strong and Stand on its Own in its Simplest Form”: Revelations from Groovy Shirt Club
Collaborative work in a musical group often begins with coincidences – sometimes accidental, but ultimately decisive. For Groovy Shirt Club, the story started around one song, someone else’s performance, and a barbecue party, and over time grew into a full-fledged band with its own sound. We decided to talk with them without unnecessary formality –…

Not Anger, Just Confusion: Cinnamon Rayne’s “Demon” Reviewed
“Never make someone your priority while allowing yourself to be their option” – Maya Angelou, poet and civil rights activist, lived through trauma and racial injustice of 20th century America, and that is why she knows the weight of these words.

The Secret Love of a Pianist That Became the Album: “Abrazo Musical Vol.1 Animes” by Victoria Daninisa
There are things that many people love secretly. Not because they are ashamed – but because their surroundings are convinced that, for example, loving classical music and being passionate about anime looks ridiculous. Mozart or Pokémon. Chopin or Naruto. The concert hall or the anime screen. But does an unspoken law exist that forbids these…

Chaos That Holds Its Shape: Anna Storm’s New Single “Trap Opera”
Frankly speaking, I’m a bit tired of genre debates. Every time it’s the same: “this one doesn’t sound authentic enough,” “that one betrayed her roots,” “there’s too much pop here.” However, here’s what’s strange. The most interesting tracks appear when someone says “you can’t do that.” Criticism is an unpredictable thing, and everyone reacts to…

Voice, Memory, Moment: Gentle Indie Folk on Adrienne Leska’s New Single “Never Gets Old”
They say that some things do not age. Old photographs in a box on the mezzanine. The smell of grandma’s pie. And-if you’re lucky-a song written with a warm, sincere feeling to which time does not stick. Cleveland singer and songwriter Adrienne Leska released the single “Never Gets Old” on March 27- a touching dedication…

Three Voices, One Self: Martha Elizabeth Miller’s “What Lies Within”
“Who looks outward dreams; who looks inward awakens.” – Carl Gustav Jung. More often than not, awakening appears awkward-a painful recognition of oneself in what one has long avoided. This is how Martha Elizabeth Miller’s album “What Lies Within” begins-and how it ends. Twelve songs form a spiral of transformation and an intimate conversation with the self.…

Sound Before the Spiral: “IMPATIENCE,” a Collaborative Single by Kina and EKKSTACY
In the track “IMPATIENCE,” Kina and EKKSTACY combine two moods: lingering melancholy and nervous punk energy. Everything begins with feeling and atmosphere – the words appear later. Kina started working alone, building a minimalist but heavy instrumental with the rhythm of a night city – familiar and unsettling. After hearing the demo, EKKSTACY treated it…
