  • Canada’s Alt-Rock duo Neon Dreams releases ‘Sick of Feeling Useless’: Listen

    Diverse Canadian duo Neon Dreams is known for being unafraid to switch up their genres. Their latest track ‘Sick of Feeling Useless’ is a bold one. Aside from having a title that I felt to my soul, the duo brings true alternative rock back into our stratosphere. This effort gives an early 2000s Alt-Rock feel, but with a modern twist. The song is emotional, one for the people who feel pretty unproductive and trapped, which is a feeling that many can have in a time where most of us are stuck in the house. Neon Dreams is a group that will continue to elevate and adapt, and we’re here for the ride.

  • Have you watched ‘squeaking rapper’ 645AR’s video for viral hit ‘Yoga’? Twitter is in rage

    645AR just saved the world with the new visual for his viral hit song ‘Yoga’. Whether you are hearing the song for the first time, now or you have seen the many popular TikToks using the track, I can promise the song will be stuck in your head. The song is a beautiful mess and every time it ends, I find myself listening to it again. Maybe, it is because I love it. Maybe, it is because I don’t understand it. The same concept applies to this exciting visual.

    [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0PCMNels-s&h=315]

    After watching it many times, I get it and to be honest… I love it! This is what the future sounds like and we got to see what the future looks like with this one. This is fun, exciting, new and the song just makes me happy. Many people will wonder if this is serious or if this is a parody, but regardless of what it is… I can’t get the song out of my head and I can’t stop smiling. I have never seen anything like this video before. I have never heard anything like this song before. The song is infectious, but in a good way. In a way, that counteracts all the negativity spread by the infectious Coronavirus. Maybe, 645AR is saving the world and despite this being a silly song… It is saving the world in a sense, by spreading some positivity during these dark times.

    As someone who appreciates clear, crisp vocals and lyrics, London’s rising star Alana Maria is just my speed. The young UK singer is gaining traction and we can see why.
