Singles
student 1 - idcicantbeherefortoolong
Starting as a subtle, slow burn, student 1's delivery ramps up as the track goes on. A mid-track beat switch flips it on its head. It's interesting the whole time and prompts a relistens as soon as it ends - Julian Green
Dizzy Fae - Right Side
Dizzy Fae’s latest track “Right Side” is super catchy and fun, and it transports us to an animated fantasy world. Dizzy has never been afraid to explore sonically, and this is yet another example of a different, unique sound that is just “right.” - Natalia Toledo
Tailor Briann - New York Minute
Minneapolis artist Tailor Briann started November off strong with her latest single “New York Minute”. Starting with a sample from The Players Club, Briann commands the attention of the listener in this track. She glides into the chorus of the song – her cadence being smooth, confident and hard-hitting. The bassy kick in the instrumentals will knock you right out of your chair. The bell samples also fit so nicely. Briann isn’t trying to convince you she’s a big deal in this single – you should already know that. - Nikhil Kumaran
Juice Lord, Lyndi, Quajo Productions - SLIDE
St. Paul star Juice Lord will always be making music for the love of it, and it’s abundantly clear on his new song “SLIDE.” From the collab with the wildly talented Lyndi (that had been years in the making) to themes of family and healing, this track will be providing some much needed warmth for the Minnesota winter approaching. - John Kueppers
