Part 1 Here :3

"Luvagirl" Coco Jones. Bombastic, suave, with a great horn line, this song is where pop and R&B collide and turn into bubbly champagne on impact.

"Right Back to You" Fetty Wap. Yeah, Fetty Wap is back and feels romantic as hell after his prison stint. Groovy and fresh, it's worth checking out.

“an apple a day” HorsegiirL. Hardstyle, AMC-ready electronic music that feels both extremely nostalgic for the late 2000s while also feeling very fresh

“Kingdom Undersea” & “I See Red” Ladytron. New Wave influenced synth pop for those who reblog The Last Unicorn gifs for the aesthetic.

“Latency” Latency. If you Stanned Loona, time to get into Hyunjin’s light and airy pop rock venture.

“Starlet,” “Grab It,” & “Jus a Lil’ Bit” Leven Kali. LK has moved on from his contributions to Beyoncé’s Renaissance to master his own forays into soul, r&b, and rock. Layered and slick, you can’t go wrong with any track on this album.

“Back Pain” Lilyisthatyou. Lola Young adjacent, this track is a bit of a crunchier sort of mourning indie rock with angel-with-cigarette vocals and lyrics that hit a bit too close to home.

“Look How Far…” Modest Mouse. I haven’t followed up on MM in such a long time but they truly are just giving us more MM. Chaotic alt rock for when your life is falling apart 👍🏻

“Danger” Nia Archives. I have been championing her career for a while now. If you love drum & bass with hypnotic, blunt vocals, check her out.

“Old Fling$,” “$T. Loser,” “What is it Like, to be Liked?”, & “Brittany Murphy” Slayyyter. If you like Charli XCX but want a musician who does coke to fuck in an alley and roll in the dirt, not just wear a bikini top in the DJ booth, this is the album for you.

And to the most important music release of the month: The entirety of the album “U” by underscores.

I’m be reviewing my fave 3 (non-pre-release) songs off the album.

“The Peace” has insanely adventurous production and heartbreaking lyrics. It’s a track for people who want to get entirely lost in their feelings.

“Hollywood Forever” is for the girls and gays who really miss 100 gecs but also are craving something a bit less ironic and a bit more sincere.

“Innuendo (I Get U)” is a bit punchier and makes you want to hit the pavement and start running for your life until you start lifting on the ground and run straight into a star or moon.

Honorable mentions from the month:

Headcanon: Lucifer visits Earth every decade or so as a part of his job as the ruler of Hell. He does it to learn about new sins as "subtly" as he could.

Lucifer: What is ray-sings-sims? Raising-sims? Raisins? Rain-Race-sin? R-Racisms? YES! That! Is it the one where people hate on the opposite sex for absolutely no reason even though humans were all made of the same cosmic dust?

Black woman: (Looking amused at the most stereotypical rich white guy she's ever met asking about sexism and racism.)

Lucifer: Yeah. This cocaine thing is doing absolutely nothing for me. I don't really get it, but this is a sin too. So marking that off the list! Thanks for letting me have a go at this, uh, Mr. Dealer? That's your last name, right? Oh man. I'm really bad at remembering names, but have this as a token of my appreciation. (Gives him a thousand dollars which is basically worth even more at the time.)

Drug dealer: (Gobsmacked the guy was still able to keep walking after practically inhaling every drug in existence back then in one go.)

Lucifer: So this, um, cult thing? How did it get assigned to our department again? It sounds just like what Heaven does to me. Huh. Ah well. I guess I'll just roll with it like everyone else here. (Shrugs.) Yay, cult! Sooo do I get to keep the robe? It's kinda comfy- Aw wait there's murder? One died a-and another... Oh... OH... Ooooh boy. Oof. Yikes... So this means I can DEFINITELY keep the robe, right?

Lucifer: Ah yes. Burning the witch. Time to list down all the sorry souls who threw their life into the flame by believing in the occult arts. (Lists down everyone in the crowd who burned said "witch.") And as for Ms. Agnes The Witch here... Hmm. Well, that's for Heaven to worry about! Toodles~! Or, uh, Tickety-Boo!

(Needless to say, dear Luci has been an accidental charmer back on Earth. ^v^ Specially to sinners and people who were just unjustly treated during those times. He just had to see what every sin was for himself and try them out from time to time, but he didn't know he's been perceived as acting with the manners and traditions he gathered from the LAST decade he was on Earth so to everyone who's long gone pass those times, he comes off as a polite old-school rich white man. Naive yet surprisingly non-judgemental.)

Oog.
