Tony Will has always lived between worlds. Music and performance. Identity and ambition. Spirituality and desire. The polished version of yourself the public can understand, and the private version that only shows up when you stop asking for permission. For a long time, he tried to keep those parts separated, like they needed their own boxes to be valid. Then life did what it always does. Touring, curating showcases, writing, and moving through real chapters made the answer o

There are songs that feel like the next step, and then there are songs that feel like a return to the reason an artist started in the first place. Bellamy Bentley’s new single “My God” lands in that second category. For Bellamy, this release is not just another addition to her catalogue. It’s a line in the sand. After spending years creating across R&B, dance, and Afro-influenced sounds, she’s now stepping fully into gospel with intention, clarity, and a deeper sense of calli

Some songs don’t show up as a flex. They show up as a confession. On “DO YOU LOVE ME,” Canadian artist EJ Brockett leans all the way into the kind of vulnerability most people dodge in real life, let alone on record. It’s a slow pop ballad built around a simple, slightly scary question: if I’m not perfect, if life gets messy, if I’m carrying something heavier than usual, do you still love me? That tension is the point. EJ isn’t trying to sound untouchable here. He’s trying to

Some records are made to be background noise. “Reminder” is the opposite. Jackie Art’s EP lands like a knock on the door you can’t ignore: high-energy, hard-hitting, and built around sharp lyricism, sticky hooks, and bold production choices. It’s the kind of project that doesn’t ask for attention politely. It takes it, then dares you to look away. What makes “Reminder” hit harder is the perspective behind it. Jackie Art grew up between worlds, hailing from London, UK and comi

There is a specific hour where your phone feels heavier than it should. The room is quiet. Your pride is loud. Your thumb hovers over a name you promised yourself you would not touch. No-contact turns into “just one check-in” in your head. The story you tell yourself is clean. The truth is messy. And in that moment, you are not deciding whether to text your ex. You are deciding whether you still belong to a version of the relationship that already ended. That is the emotional

If you’re trying to understand Sarafin, start with the way he talks about writing. He didn’t begin with “songs.” He began with poetry at thirteen, because he felt unheard, and he needed his words to carry weight. Middle child energy, sure, but more than that, it was a young artist clocking a real problem early: if your voice doesn’t land, you keep adjusting until it does. That instinct still runs through his music now. Honest. Intuitive. Catchy. Not catchy like a gimmick, cat

There’s a bad habit in music marketing: once a date is public, artists start treating it like law. The calendar becomes the boss. The campaign gets locked. Everybody keeps moving, even when the music, the visuals, or the message clearly aren’t landing the way they should. That’s why the Venice Music post on Brent Faiyaz’s ICON rollout is worth paying attention to. Their core argument is simple and sharp: a rollout should reinforce the identity of the work, not force the work

Member Spotlight Feat Swabski Swabski’s story starts with a question a lot of artists quietly carry for years. Where is home, really? Born in Orange County, raised in Austin, shaped by time in China and Hong Kong, and rooted in Vancouver for the last 13 years, Swabski has lived the “third culture kid” reality in full. Home becomes less of a place and more of a feeling. A frequency. A room you build for yourself when the world keeps moving the furniture. For him, music became
