By Yarely OrtizMusic Journalist Hip-hop is more than music; it is a cultural movement that influences and incorporates different varieties of art. Hip-hop has grown and evolved into a prominent music genre through the decades across the globe. One could argue it is for the best or worst, yet it is hard to deny hip-pop continues to be a phenomenon all over. Hip-hop emerged from the Bronx in New York […]
By Shack KhozaMusic Journalist Tasteless indie soft rock is what I would describe this insignificant album called, Coming Into Beauty by the quartet group, The Mommyheads. This skippable 15-track album is a huge example of how to produce an album that has incoherent lyrics, unmemorable melodies, and horrible chord progressions, not to mention, some instruments are out of tune. This album (“mixtape” more like) is created for those who find […]
By Maddy LehrMusic Journalist The synth-pop band, STRFKR, released their album Future Past Life a little over a year ago today. Along with their signature melodic synth approach, this album includes a sense of dreaminess. The transcendental and futuristic sound of Future Past Life will entrance anyone listening. A few of my favorite tracks from this album include “Deep Dream,” “Better Together,” “Sea Foam,” and “Cold Comfort.” The album begins […]

By Daniel BarrettMusic Journalist In many ways, the 1990s served as a transitional period for music. Following a decade dominated by hair metal and dance-pop, the '90s would make a name for itself by largely shedding the happy-go-lucky attitude, and taking on a much grittier approach. Sure, popstars still dominated a sizeable portion of the industry, but mainstream music was undeniably being taken in a new direction. Bands like Nirvana […]
By Yarely OrtizMusic Journalist Andrew Mayer Cohen, better known for his stage name, Mayer Hawthorne, was an up-and-coming soul singer when he released A Strange Arrangement in 2009. Hawthorne’s stage name was inspired by blending his middle name with the street name he grew up with. Before Hawthorne pursued his career as a soul singer, he was performing as a hip-pop DJ in Los Angeles, known as DJ Haircut. A […]
By Lesly MilanMusic Journalist After waiting five years since releasing their last album, As You Please, in 2017, Citizen finally released a new album in late March 2021. Citizen’s new release, Life In Your Glass World, is the sixth studio album in their discography. This album explores a new sound that cannot be compared to any other existing Citizen album. Life In Your Glass World’s upbeat, dance-punk sound can easily […]
by Dillion Veazie Music Journalist Exactly 10 years after the release of Toro Y Moi’s sophomore album, Underneath the Pine, Chaz Bear aka Toro Y Moi, is back again with an instrumental version of possibly his greatest body of work thus far. Bear’s sophomore album marked the end of his chill wave era. Underneath the Pine moves away from the electronic and sample based songs we heard from him previously, […]
By Maddy Lehr Music Journalist Declan McKenna’s sophomore studio album, Zeros, was released September 4, 2020. Similar to his past music, this album has underlying political cries and a jab towards protest. He continues the conversation about the blatant ignorance the British government has when it comes to dealing with political issues. Zeros steps away from Declan’s older style and moves towards a more mature electronic rock sound. He got […]
