Tyler made me love rap music. Being brought up in what was then a strict Christian household, I wasn’t allowed to listen to hip-hop. Gospel music was all I knew, and I was becoming sick of it. I always liked and understood the concept of Christianity but was heavily uninterested in the Church environment. My
In SZA’s long anticipated album, Ctrl, SZA explores all aspects of sex, love, and relationships. Ctrl is not only a coming of age album, but it also tackles the deeper adult issues of trust, insecurities, and emotional health. SZA also just announced her tour last week! A TOUR 💚 pic.twitter.com/gD8oye4amh — SZA (@sza) July 5,
In today’s pop culture, we have so many gifted and unique artists. From Beyonce’s hypnotic harmonies to Ariana’s jaw-dropping high notes, there is no shortage of raw talent within many genres of music. Though, if there is one artist that can definitely be shown more love to, it’s Florence Welch. As the front-woman of Florence
As many were expecting, SZA is about to embark on a North American tour in support of her debut album Ctrl (2017). The tour has 44 dates across America and Canada, and her opening acts will consist of Ravyn Lenae and Smino. Both Lenae and Smino are part of music collective Zero Fatigue and have
Tinashe Jorgenson Kachingwe was only three years old when she started entertaining people with her acting and modeling. Now, at the age of 24, if we take the time to analyze her skills, we will easily realize that she is one of the most skilled musicians in the American industry: her vocals are great, she
Getting through heartbreak is tough. After the healing time has been taken, it’s time to embrace the fact that you’re single, not committed, and can live your life. Being alone doesn’t have to hold a negative connotation and this is something many of us are still trying really hard to learn. Here are 10 songs
It seems like singer/songwriter Khalid rose to fame out of nowhere. However, I’d argue it happened after his release of debut album American Teen back in March. ‘Location’ hit soundcloud 10 months ago and now has over 55 million plays. Just this past month, Khalid held a free concert at the Santa Monica Pier June

However, with the help of a friend, I have compiled a list of five singers who use social media as the main platform with which to share their talent. These
After a five-year hiatus, Kesha returns with the release of her new single, “Praying.” The song dropped on June 6 and is an inspirational ballad reflecting Kesha’s emotional rollercoaster during her absence. Kesha’s absence from the music industry was a result of depression and her legal battle against her producer and record label head, Dr.Luke
I’ll admit as a punk and rock fan, sometimes the genre can feel very male exclusive. Sometimes I just want a woman to belt out lyrics about the things I’m feeling. Before I only had old 90s riot grrrl bands to turn to but then I found War on Women. This band shreds through topics
“Hey, we’re a new band called Bad Cop/ Bad Cop and this a song from our latest album, Warriors!” yells singer and guitarist Stacey Dee to hundreds of people, many of them packed tightly at her feet. The band starts a loud guitar riff as the first notes of their song “Retrograde” fill the venue.
When MTV News restructured itself at the beginning of 2016 it was branded not only an uprising but a movement as well. In fact at the time the new editorial director of music Jessica Hopper said “What we are about to do here is the most revolutionary and forward-thinking thing that we can try to
