A striking presence both visually and musically, Lyriqé brings a distinctly modern yet soulful energy to everything she does — an artist clearly rooted in authenticity and creative independence. Her sound lives in that sweet spot where classic R&B meets contemporary production. It’s a lane that has defined many of the UK’s strongest voices, from Birmingham’s own Laura Mvula to newer rising stars, but Lyriqé is carving out her own identity within it, blending nostalgia with fresh, self-produced storytelling.What makes her stand out isn’t just the music — it’s ownership. Writing and producing her own work, she represents a growing…
Avohee Avoher’s latest release “Noema” arrives like a quiet revelation—subtle, deliberate, and deeply internal. It doesn’t chase attention with dramatic flourishes or cinematic excess; instead, it pulls the listener inward, creating a space where thought and emotion begin to blur. Built around a minimalist piano arrangement, the composition feels intentionally restrained. Every note carries weight, not because of complexity, but because of placement. There’s a patience in the way the melody unfolds—never rushing, never overstaying—allowing silence to become just as important as sound. It feels reflective, almost like fragments of memory surfacing and dissolving in real time. The accompanying video…
Some artists find music. Angie Rose was found by God through it — and she has never looked back.Born and raised in the Bronx, Angie Rose grew up as a pastor’s daughter and the youngest of 11 siblings, coming to know the Lord at a very young age. She fell in love with God before she even fully understood what love was — a foundation that would later become her lifeline. But life tested that foundation hard. After painful personal losses, Angie’s faith began to waver. She left the church and turned to drugs and alcohol, walking a dark path…
Some collaborations feel like a quick experiment. This isn’t one of them. INTU!TION—the pairing of Mark “Loverush” Schneider and Avohee Avoher—steps in with “DOMINATION,” and right out of the gate, it sounds like a project with real intent behind it. Mastered at Abbey Road Studios, the track leans cinematic without losing its edge on the dancefloor. There’s a clear lineage here. You can hear shades of The Beloved, Way Out West, and Faithless in the emotional architecture—but this isn’t retro. It’s tighter, more deliberate, and built to pull you in instead of just hit you with a drop. The reason it works is pretty simple: both sides bring…
There are artists who entertain, and then there are artists who stay with you—the ones whose music becomes something more than sound. Ray Ray Star belongs to that second category. His work doesn’t just reach listeners—it holds them. Because what Ray Ray Star creates isn’t just music. It’s connection. His songs carry the weight of real life—struggles that don’t resolve in three minutes, emotions that don’t fit neatly into a chorus. And instead of trying to escape those realities, he leans into them. Not for effect, not for drama, but because they’re true. Because they’re lived. That honesty changes everything. Listeners don’t…
“Few minds can explain both Michael Jackson and the meaning of the universe—Howard Bloom does.” It sounds almost impossible at first. On one side, you have Michael Jackson—arguably the most famous entertainer to ever live, a man whose every movement shifted global culture in real time. On the other, you have the vast, ungraspable expanse of the cosmos—the kind of subject that humbles even the greatest scientific minds. Most people spend their lives trying to understand one or the other. Howard Bloom has spent his life navigating both. This is what makes him singular. Bloom didn’t just observe Michael Jackson’s rise—he understood…
