Mind Over Matter

  "I Know It's All Overwhelming Between Our Thoughts And The Wine," and yes we truly feel overwhelmed with nostalgic babymaking vibes. You've heard correctly the year maybe 2023, but it's starting to feel like 1993, in the words of a queen herself Ms. Lauryn Hill said, "It could all be so simple."  In a state that most of us know because of either country singer Loretta Lynn, "The Greatest" Muhammad Ali, or Jack Harlow comes a new up-and-coming artist with a single that we true music lovers have been yearning to hear. In Kentucky, an artist named Spencer Diamond released a new single on all streaming platforms on July 8, 2023, called," U Need a Lover." And if you aren't lured in by the title of the song there's more. Being that he's an independent artist he's been promoting this song on social media, particularly on TikTok, which is where I noticed it. However, in the being, I didn't give it a chance thinking this ...

  "I Made So Much Last Week Just To Act Like A Thot, Tell Me What You Know About Profit? The first words that come into mind are...and I oop. The second words that come to mind are I know that's right. The cockiness, sensuality, and vulgar, but brass attitude lyrics could make the entire London Bridge fall down. And we can't deny that's what makes it even more intriguing.  While I'm simply an African-American girl in an Americanized world, like many others I do have a TikTok and when I saw an upcoming artist appear on my For You Page it definitely threw me for a loop. Especially because I've never heard a British Drill rapper like that before. She had to have been up and coming and another thought popped into my mind, which was why hasn't she been signed yet. The artist I'm referring to goes by Ceechynaa, who is a British Drill rapper that released her second single called," Last Laugh." Last Laugh was released on July 25, 2023, on all streami...

  This city is a graveyard and we're all zombies dancing to the new alternative tune. Yes, you heard correctly alternative music has a new tune to add to their chilling playlist and it's bringing a zombified aura like no other.  In a city that never sleeps and is full of lights that will inspire you, an independent alternative singer is breaking a color barrier and luring us with her new pop-alternative single. Her name is Baby Storme and she's the new Indie-Alt "IT Girl." Baby Storme is an upcoming independent-alternative singer-songwriter from Manhattan, New York, who on June 22, 2023, released her ALT-Pop single on all streaming services called," This City Is A Graveyard." This song is heavily inspired by ALT singer-songwriter WILLOW and R&B/Soul singer-songwriter Steve Lacy. However, this wouldn't be an unbiased article if I don't take the time to mention that Baby Storme made this song with the help of music producer CJ Baran, who's ...

  "This New Fit Came Fresh Up Off The Runway " and we are loving every angle, curve, and fabric of it all the way down to the Givenchy shoes. Yes, you heard correctly, fashion and the runway should be in a chokehold the way this song is living rent-free in our minds. Across the pond, in London, a new R&B artist is on the rise giving us PinkPantheress vibes, but with her own little twist of Y2k R&B and she goes by the name Ashley Iman. Ashley Iman is an upcoming independent artist from the United Kingdom, who on June 15, 2023, released on all streaming platforms her new single called, "MARSEILLE." The song is heavily inspired by early 2000s fashion culture with a Beverly Hills meets the Hamptons vibe that's so nostalgic it brings you back to when it all was so simple, with us wearing Juicy Couture jogging suits and watching Paris Hilton and Sofia Richie on the Simple Life. Ashley Iman herself has described it as a 2000s-inspired IT Girl Feel Good Anthem, ...
