Warren Commission on Trust, Tension, and the Art of Making a Song

Bhavana Hari Rap/Hip-Hop Journalist For Warren Commission, making music is not always about getting everything right on the first try.

Finding comfort with Melt Away

Bhavana Hari Rap Music Journalist Since their start in 2016, Jadu Heart has always taken a quieter approach to fame. The British Duo, consisting of Alex Headford and Diva Jefferey, has built an extremely loyal fan base. Their music feels very personal due to how immersive the experience is while listening to them.
