Bad Gyal è la girlboss definitiva. Lo sanno bene in Spagna dove da oltre 10 anni guida una nuova scena di donne indipendenti, libere, che non chiedono permesso. Lo sanno in Sud America e nell’America centrale dove il suo nome, grazie a collaborazioni con Karol G, Tokischa, Young Miko, Ozuna, Anitta, J Balvin e alla recente data in cui ha condiviso il palco con Bad Bunny («un momento importante della mia carriera») è oramai così conosciuto da garantirle un tour nelle arene delle capitali, dall’Argentina a Porto Rico. Anche gli Stati Uniti, che di musica latina e spagnola sono ghiotti,…

Daniele Silvestri come back with Deckchair Songs (live in the studio)new album for Epic Records / Sony Music Italy. A project that recovers some less exposed songs from his discography to present them in a new guise, starting from the idea that a song can continue to speak to the public even years after its release. This is not a celebratory collection nor a simple rereading of the repertoire. The aim is to bring attention to compositions which, according to the Roman singer-songwriter, deserve a new listening opportunity. Deckchair songs, an album that looks beyond novelty The project was born…

Much is made in current dance culture about electronic music as an outlet for queer joy. Earlier this year, for example, when Charli XCX declared that “the dancefloor is dead” in her latest news-cycle-consuming PR stunt, it provoked worldwide outcry from DJs and producers who argued that denying dance music’s modern ubiquity robs Black and queer communities of the ecstatic temples that they built, across decades, as an antidote to adversity. And while that retort isn’t inaccurate, it can be a little unintentionally reductivist. What about queer pain, queer sorrow, queer fear, queer anxiety? These emotions are just as central…

Osees can be a forbidding proposition, even for longtime followers of John Dwyer’s garage-psych armada. Beyond his infamously relentless rate of output (and all the frequent rebrandings and extracurricular pursuits he’s initiated along the way), Dwyer’s music is actually becoming more caustic and confrontational as time goes on. Over the past decade, Osees have reinvented themselves as prog-metal warriors, hardcore agitators, and synth-punk freaks, investing each new permutation with the same degree of blitzkrieg aggression. And while they’re no strangers to bizarro artwork, their recent album covers have proven to be particularly potent nightmare fuel—for a rock band, they make…

Sparklmami’s debut album started from an unusual place: a decade of relative silence. Born Ariella Granados and raised in Texas, she spent part of her childhood singing for a church band, then stopped entirely. “When I left church, I stopped singing for 10 years,” she told UCLA Radio. “I like to think that in those 10 years, I was researching and really figuring out what it is that I liked.” After moving to Chicago for college, Granados spent her 20s as a visual artist, performer, and makeup artist, all while quietly writing songs on the side. Winning an artist residency…

If you come across an album that was recorded in Toronto and blurs the edges between indie pop, new-age gloss, and sultry jazz grooves, chances are Joseph Shabason was involved. Forget indie sleaze—Shabason’s aesthetic hews closer to “indie smooth,” whether he’s contributing suave sax licks to Destroyer’s Kaputt, forming a culinary-themed soft-pop supergroup called Fresh Pepper, or pursuing a headier avant-jazz approach on his solo records. The saxophonist is a musical shapeshifter who lends his talents far and wide, but his dreamiest, most conventionally melodic music usually arises from his long-running collaboration with vocalist Nicholas Krgovich.The pair recruited multi-instrumentalist Chris…

The hosts' rendition began with Rogers melodramatically singing over the piano melody until Yang joined in for a go at the verses,…
