TiDUS – Not Sorry (Visual)
A year since teasing a clip on Instagram, Tidus has finally released his song “Not Sorry” to the world. The song was first featured in the independent film Canal Street, led by great actors like Bryshere Gray (Empire) and Mekhi Phifer. It can now be streamed everywhere, and Tidus has made a visual to complement it. The etheric beauty of “Not Sorry” speaks for itself. I enjoy his enchanting vocals on this one. Being that this is the third of three single releases the musician has released this year, and one of many he has recently previewed online, we can expect more from Tidus throughout the year. His full project…

TiDUS – Hear Us Clearly (Visual)
Following up on his first single release of 2020, Tidus unveils his song “Hear Us Clearly”, along with a visual. This has come at a moment when his overall message is needed, perhaps more than ever. The state of the world is in an unsure place, but Tidus consistently speaks on the power of belief in oneself. In this particular song, he states that it is time for those with love and truth in their hearts to lead the way. As beautiful and flowy as the song is, I see it as also being a call to action for the listener. It is time to be in alignment with who…

TiDUS – The Watcher (Visual)
Tidus released his first new song of the year, with a visual to match. In the video for “The Watcher”, he is seen on a California beach with beautiful shots of the sun shining on him. This is another beautiful song from the artist, which uplifts the listener and inspires them to hold faith through the motions of life. Whenever I listen, I feel a flood of light in my being which prompts me to stand up and move. One of my favorite lyrics chants “I don’t compare my life others that’s just nonsense / We all going through a struggle not a Contest/ If it ain’t happen for you…

Mouse Sucks – Me Af/Bae Af
Mouse Sucks is a twenty-one year old rapper and producer from Toronto, Canada. He is currently based in New York and is preparing an album as a follow-up to 2013’s Lacey’s Forehead. One thing you’ll notice about this artist, immediately, is the element of humor which comes across through his aesthetics. They match the subtle humor applied to his flow. The two-part song Me Af/Bae Af is said to be directly inspired by the DJ Kitty Kash. It is the introduction to his new, self-crafted sound we’ll be hearing more of in 2016. I’m ready for it! When you purchase this single via Bandcamp, there is a bonus song included…

Princess Nokia drops new album “Metallic Butterfly”
This LP has been one of the most anticipated on my list since I first discovered the electic sound of Nokia as Wavy Space. Princess Nokia and her producer OWWWLS have managed to perfectly sculpt this extremely visual work with themes that include the power of women, self discovery, defining oneself, culture, raising frequency, and acknowledges that we are all extraordinary beings of light and power. It even begins with Nokia introducing you to the album as a new planet called Metallic Butterfly. This album is a mesh of so many styles, one of my favorites being the trip-hop feel of “Biohazard Butterfly”, although I wouldn’t seriously pin a “fav”…
