Too Long is honestly probably my least favorite release of Rochelle Jordan this far. However, I will admit that I’ve been waiting too long for a new project to drop from Ms. Jordan. Regardless, I’m sure she’ll exceed any expectations with the release of PRESSURE which is due out any day, week, or month now…Listen [...]

PRESSURE is due out sometime this summer, and I wonder if Rochelle Jordan is starting to feel any of it, with her new release coming out soon. Like many girls, she is “Losing” herself in this latest release. It’s very common that both guys and girls lose themselves in the process of impressing someone else. [...]

Maybe you’ve heard of Michael Kiwanuka before, or maybe you haven’t. It’s undeniable that the boy is talented. Growing up in North London, he started writing his own songs just for fun.

If it’s anything like her last project, then we’re in for something good. Last time I found myself comparing her a lot to Ameriie, but I’m hoping [...]

  The Hi5 Collective has mastered the art of storytelling in their series of unofficial video releases. This time..they take on The Weeknd’s Montreal. This video shows images of drug abuse, abuse, violence, and what I’d say is a pretty dysfunctional family. I think these guys do an excellent job of making short movies rather [...]

I’ll be the first to admit, that The Weeknd hasn’t quite fully grown on me yet. I’ve only successfully listened to his music while doing hookah, which might I add, is a great combination. His third official release, Echoes Of Silence, was already trending last night shortly after it’s release. After the spark of the [...]
