PREMIERE! "Norma Jean" by Kaycie Satterfield

Like poor Norma Jean, crushed by the sunny and sexy persona created for her by the media, this song similarly begs to be listened to more deeply. Past the song’s immediate hook (and a groove as retro as its protagonist

This eleven track album resembles an enchanted trip with standouts “Softboy” and “Think Quiet.” Goth rawness radiates through each song in expressive ways that resemble the definition of Vanta Black: the darkest substa

From the first cheery ukulele strum, this song is like a drink of water. Yaniza’s twinkling, bright vocals against a lush natural backdrop make her video for "Fly Away (Free Bird)" a refreshing musical feat.

Francie: "Your Way"

The new single, "Your Way," by Francie is a peaceful, beautiful listen. The simple guitar strums help illuminate the soft and melancholic vocals, highlighting the dichotomy between love and loss. Francie then introduces an edge to the song with a transition from a simple acoustic guitar to a more complex arrangement at the bridge. The shift perfectly fits the tonal change in lyrics as she says, “I never told you the way I feel now/Something has frozen in my veins…/You seem ve
