      • A huge favourite on the social media chat pages of 2000 Trees and Arctangent, I will happily admit to knowing nothing about this band. Sure, I’d seen their name around, but not even a toe had been dipped into their musical waters.

    • Fetty Wap has a lot to say on 'Zavier.’ It’s his first album since being released from prison | WHEC.com | March 27, 2026, 8:49 p.m.
      • Melodic rapper Fetty Wap was released from federal prison to home confinement in January after serving just over half a six-year sentence for his role in a drug trafficking scheme. On Friday, he releases a new album titled “Zavier.” The artist born Willie Maxwell II tells The Associated Press that the album features a lot of different sounds. Collaborators include Tink, Wiz Khalifa, Max B and Fetty Wap's sisters. Fetty Wap says he didn't want to make an album about his incarceration, but he didn't want to avoid it either. He hopes “Zavier” gives his audience a feeling of “good energy” and “positivity.”

His favourite song of hers is still the very first one she ever wrote, a reflection on the polarities of life on Earth - pretty deep, right? But then again, this was never a surface-level household. Raised on a soundtrack of greats like Jill Scott and Whitney Houston, Olive’s musical foundations were laid early, before she found her feet in the Leeds music scene - joining a band - and event

    I'm a fan of Spotify for music discovery and easy access to tunes on my devices. And Spotify's API was critical to building this website. But I know that Spotify is not the best way to financially support the artists I love. So, when I find myself listening to an album repeatedly I make a point of purchasing it via Bandcamp or a local record store. And I buy tickets to see musicians live (and often purchase merch at the venue.) I hope users of this site will do the same.

    Similarly, as a longtime public media journalist, I know that it takes considerable time and energy to produce the articles linked here. Please also support those writers and journalists. Subscribe to the sites you visit the most, or leave a donation where that's an option.
