Album Review: "people stories" by UMI

"people stories" by UMI album cover
One of my favourite musical finds this year has been the incredible artist named UMI. Her collab with 6lack entitled "Hard Truths" has been in my rotation since I discovered it as evidenced by its multiple showings on TMC's HotπŸ”₯10! . Naturally after discovering an artist I like my next step was to find out if they have released a full body of work like a mixtape, EP or an album. I was pleasantly surprised to find that she had released a 4 track EP entitled " Somewhere New/What Now" with her third studio album titled "people stories" to be released soon. 

The writing above was taken from my review of her 4 track EP that she released some months ago. Well, her long awaited third studio album titled "people stories" is here and includes the 4 tracks that were featured on her previously mentioned EP. Seeing that I absolutely loved that EP she released a few months ago, I am more than excited to finally listen to a full body of work from this incredible artist. Let's see what she has in store for us with this project!

Woman in The Mirror by Sacha album cover Ads can be such a nuisance! However, we have all had a moment where those pesky advertisements can be life changing. My discovery of the Canadian country artist Sacha can be counted as one of those life changing moments. After watching the video for "Later Tonight" by John Ross, YouTube played an ad of song called Shooting Star. Curiosity got the better of me so I went to the video to hear the entire song. Instantly I fell in love with the song and had to find out more about this new artist.

Album Review: "June" By De'Wayne

"june" by DE'WAYNE album cover "She's a synthesizer, Orchestrates the band, She's got the whole world, Wrapped around her finger, She's a synthesizer, Baby don't you understand, She's my heaven she's my earth, She's my woman she's my man." Lyrics taken from  https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/dewaynejackson/synthesizer.html The song "synthesizer" was how I was introduced to the wonderful artist called De'Wayne. I came across a snippet of the video on Twitter and decided to give the song a listening ear and I instantly feel in love. This new discovery filled me with so much joy because as an avid music listener I  always seek to expand my musical horizons to listen to genres I usually do not follow. Therefore, coming across a Rock N Roll artist that I instantly liked was so exhilarating. I listened to the song until my own ears and music player got fed up with me and was even more elated when I discovered he was releasin...
