    • Sublime’s ‘Until The Sun Explodes’ embodies the band's classic sunburnt SoCal style | The Independent Florida Alligator
      • Sublime, the legendary ska punk band from Long Beach, California, was founded in 1988 by Bradley Nowell, Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh. Known for its genre-bending irreverent anthems, Sublime’s fourth studio album released June 12 is characterized by the same punk mentality — but its true purpose is to serve as an earnest tribute.
    • Kill The King - Album by T.I. | HotNewHipHop

    • Album Review: Kill the King by T.I. | Shatter the Standards

    • Ryan Beatty loves with longing on ‘Sweet Fortune’ | The Daily Texan
      • Singer-songwriter Ryan Beatty consistently proves himself a talented penman — and his record Sweet Fortune, which released on Friday is no exception. Beatty first grew in popularity writing for and performing alongside BROCKHAMPTON, a hip-hop boy band founded in San Marcos, and won a Grammy for co-writing Beyonce’s Texas-inspired Cowboy Carter. Beatty’s last indie-pop album,...
    • Album review: Ryan Beatty "Sweet Fortune" | Showbiz by PS

    • FRESH MUSIC: AMA - AMA (ALBUM) | Yeeeaahnetwork.com | June 19, 2026, 8:48 a.m.
      • London-raised R&B artist Ama released her sophomore album AMA on June 19th via ISO Supremacy and PULSE Records. The record strips things back to the emotional core — minimalist production, sensual writing, stacked harmonies, close vocal control — and does not reach for anything that is not needed to tell the story.

    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.
