By Hayden Hovsepian Music Journalist Australia is seemingly home to more psych-rock bands than it is to venom and marsupials. Although the latter two could easily be found on a short hike through the outback, there doesn't seem to be a one-stop shop for the continent's trippy tunes. Curious fans need a way to explore a balanced mix of the musical gems the Aussies have to offer. If you check […]
By Sofia Gualy Music Journalist The twee aesthetic is predominantly identified by peter pan collars, colored tights and of course Wes Anderson movies. Twee is also found through the indie pop and indie folk music of the early 2000s and 2010s. This era of music largely inspired the trends that are now making a comeback in 2022.

By Christopher BrockerHip-hop Director “Big Boss Rabbit” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NabmJWtYK5c Indiana native Freddie Gibbs returned with this single “Big Boss Rabbit”. Gibbs’ Alfredo was recently Grammy-nominated for rap album of the year. However, the project lost to Nas’ King’s Disease produced by Hit-Boy. The beat samples Nas’s “You’re Da Man” from his 2001 album Stillmatic. The intro samples Mike Tyson declaring his greatness in a post-fight interview. The beat has a bouncy trap beat that is similar […]

The news has led me to not only revisit some of my favorite songs from Olsen and Furman, but to also revisit some of my favorite LGBTQ+ musicians. Below I have included some of […]
By Lesly MilanMusic Journalist As a Spotify user and avid music listener, I am always searching for new music of all kinds. I have realized that some of my favorite songs are not even songs that I personally searched for. I just happen to randomly come across them, and then they play on repeat for the next few weeks. Over time, I have collected a list of songs that I […]

However, women are essential to the genre from top to bottom. That is more prevalent than ever as women rappers have risen to the forefront of the genre.

Jesse RodriguezMusic Journalist The sound of late 50s and early ‘60s soul music was such a niche time for music and from the wise words of Mr. Brown Eyed Soul himself, Sunny Ozuna, “It can never be duplicated.” Instead of trying to replicate it, new soul acts have straight-up revived it.
