If you’ve somehow managed to avoid Childish Gamino’s Redbone until now I have a trophy ready for you to pick up at your earliest convenience. It swept the nation and hooked millions of listeners with its smooth bass lines and soaring falsetto. But I have an unpopular opinion incoming. Redbone is not the best song on this album. Most popular, yes. But the best song has to go to terrified. Now before the gambino stans kill me just listen. It has all your favorite elements of redbone. Smooth bass lines and soaring falsettos occur on this song too. I just think this song was executed better. I don’t want to start any trouble. I’d actually like to hop on the Childish Gambino bandwagon if you’d have me. Just let me have my opinion in peace.
If you haven’t listened to Childish Gambino’s latest album your bullying your ears. Donald Glover blends 70’s P-Funk and Soul with a modern twist. You could play this next to any major soul album of the 70’s and it’ll fit right in. A huge change stylistically from anything he’s ever done, Awaken My Love was a huge haymaker to anyone who ever tried to put him in a box.

Make Me Feel Like Your Bitch – Parallelephants
23 August 2018
Parallelephants are a local synth pop band based out of San Antonio TX. Since I currently reside there, I’m pretty hip to what’s popular as far as local talent goes. This is my favorite local band and they don’t half as much love as they deserve in my opinion. Their unique blend of electronic, alternative and hip hop gives them a unique voice in the city that can’t be easily replicated.
Starfruit LA – Choker
16 August 2018
Choker is back for his second EP Honeybloom and I couldn’t be happier. Seemingly out of nowhere he dropped this project with little to no promotion. Not one for social media, only sporting a Twitter account that tweets about twice a year. Choker mysteriously crept back onto the scene with a cryptic tweet stating that his new project was out now. He’s the type of artist who communicates through music only. And he has every right to because Honeybloom is amazing from start to finish.
