Rookie Season prove themselves no rookies when it comes to swanky swooning R&B soul and groovalicious electro-funk in the new music video they dropped for their single Backtalker, a cut off their debut EP The Collide. The Midwest pair’s sound has been compared to Anderson .Paak, but there’s also a deliciously velveteen swagger to their plush and ritzy jam. The breezy claymation video for Backtalker was created by director/artist Azod Abedikichi, known for his work with Nike, the Olympics, ESPN, Reebok, NBA, Under Armour, and more. You can stream Rookie Season’s debut EP on Spotify, here.

KEEP YOUR ENEMIES CLOSE. Wylie is finally out of the detention center, but that doesn’t mean she’s safe. As much as she wants to forget everything that's happened and return to her normal life, Wylie knows that true freedom means discovering, once and for all, who is hunting the girls who are Outliers—and why. Armed with only a few clues and a handful of trusted allies, Wylie sets out to separate fact from fiction. But soon she is unearthing long-buried secrets and finds herself entangled in a conspiracy that is much bigger and more dangerous than she ever could have imagined. Worse yet, the nearer Wylie gets to discovering the truth, the closer her enemies get to silencing her and the other girls. This time, maybe forever.

God, I pray that I would become more fearful of you, and less fearful of others. Would I obey you and follow you and worship you in every aspect of my life, and would you mold me into the person you have created me to be.
