Best Music 2021
Here’s some of our top artists this year. Let’s get into it. Valerie June: Valerie June is literally a star — a bright shining sphere of revolution— fallen to earth in the form of human dust in order to levitate our souls into higher consciousness with each song. A perfect manifestation of Southern Buddhism.

That Was The Album, Really?: Roddy Ricch, Live Life Fast Album Review
Let me start by saying this album, outside of Drake’s Certified Lover Boy and Ye’s Donda, was the project I was most looking forward to. Roddy absolutely delivered on his freshman album Please Excuse Me For Being Anti-Social and I expected nothing less than amazing in his sophomore album. Boy was I wrong.

Musical Digest: Honorata Skarbek "Recepta"
[Cue tapping a microphone on an illuminated stage] “Is this thing on?” Ok. Great. Now that you can all hear, it’s time for another different type of musical digest. It’s been a while, there have been a lot of great lyrics that have passed through my eardrums, but also a lot of questionable renditions. Don’t worry though…this particular one isn’t exactly in that realm.

Twice Eyes Wide Open Album Review
FINALLY! Finally I found the time to talk about this goth tier album. Twice turned 5 years old this year, and wow I wanna cry. They were the first girl group I really fell in love with and seeing them grow from the cute and bubbly teen girls to sophisticated and beautiful women is so surreal. I’m so proud of them, and I’m so proud of their musical growth that is showcased in their second full album, Eyes Wide Open. This is an amazing album and I just want to gather my thoughts and go through each track.

Getting Back Into Melanie Martinez
When Melanie Martinez came out in 2015 with Crybaby, I was instantly fascinated with her. She was a pastel goth girl doing incredible alternative-pop music that felt very soft yet stuck to me like glue. Then her whole concept is following the life of her character Crybaby who deals with subjects like plastic surgery and eating disorders and broken families. Crybaby is a great debut album and was a game-changer for what I call darkpop (I know cringy) that lived in the realm of Lana Del Rey, Marina And The Diamonds, and Halsey of that 2014-2015 era. She was a diamond in the scene full of talent, but for some reason, I just stopped listening to her.

My Top 10 Albums Of 2020
2020 was a shit year. I'm not going to lie about that, 2020 was awful, from the australian fires to Trump to COVID to the loss of amazing people like Kobe and Chadwick, innocent black people deaths, and proud boys making me scared to go grocery shopping, 2020 was shit...however...the music was amazing.

Ashnikko Halloweenie III: Seven Days Review
Ashnikko is one of my favorite music artists. From her fun personality to her music that can empower anybody that listens to it to her fashion style, I love Ashnikko and everything about her, so I was very excited when she revealed her project Demi-Devil to be released in October... well it was suppose to release in October.

Jazmin Bean "Worldwide Torture" Album Review
So I’m an American, unfortunately, and so when I saw Jazmin’s album dropped I was hella confused. I was like, “Um why you releasing it now, ain’t it suppose to be tomorrow?” But then I remembered they are British, and I’m stupid.

Johnny Goth, The Great Awakening, Album Review
As I start writing this review, it’s 2:07am, and I’m sitting in a pitch black room, which is one of the best settings to listen to Johnny Goth.

Secret Number “Got That Boom” Review
Secret Number made their first comeback since they debuted with “Got That Boom” along with another song called “Privacy.” From the moment I first listen to “Who Dis?” and laid my eyes on Secret Number, they quickly became one of my favorite girl groups, being in the top 5 of my list. “Who Dis?” was a great debut, showcasing their vocals, rapping, and dancing. Then their song “Holiday” was incredible and so far my favorite song by Secret Number.
