if i could make it go quiet

girl in red

When your music becomes part of Tik-Tok code language, you know you are striking the right chords.That’s exactly what girl in red, Marie Ulven, has managed to accomplish in just a few short years as an artist. There are a lot of Billie comparisons that could be made as they both sing to the unique struggles of the millennial generation - embracing topics like mental health, queerness, and drug use head-on. She’s even the sole songwriter on the album and even co-produced a few of the songs with Eillish’s brother, Finneas. The first half of the album features the angsty punk-pop sounds girl in red fans have become accustomed to, while the second half reveals softer almost R&B style production. It’s an excellent listen … if if you’re not up to date with Tik-Tok slang :)

Dawn

Yebba

Yebba has one of those voices that seems incomprehensible. Surely no one actually can sing like that? However all of the riffs and spins you here on her 2021 album Dawn are real, and so is her impressive vocal range and nuanced lyrics. Last Week we featured Certified Lover Boy, the newest Drake album. If you gave that one a listen through you might have noticed there was one track that Champagne Papi seemed to be missing entirely from: “Yebba’s Heartbreak”. This isn’t the first time she has collaborated with some of the industry’s most prominent hip-hop and rap artists. That’s her voice you probably recognize from the backing vocals of Chance the Rapper’s “Same Drugs” and she pulls in A$AP Rocky and Smino for this latest album.

If you want to see what a powerhouse the Memphis native is check out this live performance of her song My Mind from a few years ago. Her voice is raw and connected and is a once in a generation rarity. 
Guaranteed goosebumps.

Abhi vs The Universe

Abhi The Nomad

Abhi vs The Universe is a cheery album. The type of music you’d hear on an Apple commercial as someone rides a nickel board down the boardwalks of a beach town. Abhi the Nomad, aka a “Brown guy who raps,” spends much of this album rapping over some funky beats and mixing in a few features that you most likely have never heard of before but just might go listen to their top 5 songs real quick to see what else is good.

Broken Boy Soldiers

The Raconteurs

We went back and dug this one back out of the mid 2000's as an album most definitely worth re-discovering. The Raconteurs are a classic “The” XYZ band from this era that plays guitar the way it’s supposed to be played, reminds you on Nirvana every once in a while, and plays hard enough to satisfy some heavy metal rock fans but not hard enough to scare away those on the fence.""

Turns out The Raconteurs band was Jack White’s (headman of The White Stripes) first musical collaboration. According to Rolling Stone, White, “vowed the White Stripes could never use a bassist, or any other interloper, because he didn’t want to kill the Stripes’ one-on-one spontaneity.” All bets are off as a Raconteur, though.
