There is nothing else I’ve listened to this past week (aside clips from Beychella, of course) besides Hop Along’s latest album Bark Your Head Off, Dog. I’ve gotten everything I need from their leader Francis Quinlan: charming and imaginative storytelling, captivating vocals, and pop melodies and hooks.

There is really no point in trying to talk about anyone/anything else. Cardi B’s debut LP Invasion of Privacy dropped last Friday and it woke everyone the hell up! Cardi also made her debut on SNL this past weekend, you know, just livin’ her best life. Ms. Almanzar out here proving that “bad bitches do what […]

Seriously y’all, if you’re feeling down or like all the confidence has […]

Her anger about and annoyance with misogyny is just about the only thing I’ve been able to relate to these days. The song itself showcases what I believe is Barnett at her best, […]
A whole lotta of our past Music Monday ladies are releasing new music and living their best lives so I thought I’d compile some of the awesome things they’re doing in one post, you know, for posterity and all that. From our first MM feature: SZA (collaboration with fellow TDE artist Kendrick Lamar) While we’re […]
