Okay, so here I am yet again to regale you with something fantastic concerning my favorite band, Decadent. This time around, it’s about the place where they actually create their incredible music. For longtime fans of the band, they’ll remember a little documentary they made about a year ago, following them as they created their … More “My Friend Lives in the Studio” — The Magic of Janitor Studio
A couple of weeks ago I was introduced to the Indonesian band Tokyolite (Thank you Martin!) and it was truly love at first listen. I immediately went to devour all of the content I could find on YouTube and what I discovered was that, not only do they make great music, they also seem like … More [Out of the Box] Tokyolite
On Valentine’s Day, Rock N’ Seoul favorite Love X Stereo released “Zero One.” The song is the main theme for the film of same name, directed by Nick Neon. While the music video is simply shots of lead vocalist Annie Ko interspersed between scenes from the film, the song itself has a terrible poignancy that’s … More Love X Stereo — Zero One
As you all recently found out, I’ve got an immense amount of love and adoration for SPACECOWBOY. His brand of electronica is more than just the sum of its parts, really. There’s always a story there, always something deeper nestling under the surface. With his latest track, “Rain,” he bridges the gap between his electronic … More SPACECOWBOY Returns with Moody Track “Rain”
Damn! It’s great to be a woman! Sometimes you come across an anthem that just makes you wanna go out in the streets, take off your bra, and slap a dude that dares try to cross you. In 2016, that was “Formation.” Last year it was “Bodak Yellow.” It may very well be that YESEO‘s … More Yeseo Knows Bad “Bitches Rule”
The wait is over! Hyukoh dropped their latest EP: “How to Find True Love and Happiness” and it has made my cold black heart beat again! Seriously…I might be open to love and marriage just so I can play “Love Ya!” at my wedding. Admittedly, Hyukoh can do no wrong with me. They have consistently … More Love Wins with Hyukoh’s “Love Ya!”
Yoon Mi-rae is back, and this time she’s going after throats. Once again, the undisputed queen of Korean hip-hop has displayed why she’s had the throne for twenty years. “Kawi Bawi Bo” is an anthem, point blank. It’s a song that speaks of revolution, of finding your place, standing your ground, taking no stuff from … More Queen T Did Not Come to Play: Kawi Bawi Bo
Finally, after having to wait a few weeks, the official music video for SAAY’s latest single “COLD VIEW” became available on YouTube Stateside. Everybody knows how I feel about SAAY. Her voice just… sends chills up my spine, as cliché as that is. But it’s true. Something like a cold wind creeps up my backbone whenever … More SAAY — COLD VIEW
2018 has been dripping with Black Excellence since the clock struck midnight. The arts have been affected in a way that can only make me smile and laugh in outright delight. So much of music, film, and traditional art has seemingly hurdled us into a new Black Renaissance, and I’m just overwhelmed with the glory … More [Out of the Box] JOJO ABOT
Today’s Out of the Box is a bit of a throwback. Several years ago, coming on six years now, a friend of mine introduced me to an artist making big noise in China. When I checked her out, to say I was blown away would be doing her an injustice. SingerSen is a pixie of … More [Out of the Box] SingerSen
