Alessia Cara returns to her YouTube cover roots (again) with this amazing cover of SZA’s “Drew Barrymore.” Anytime we get Alessia Cara dropping YouTube covers, it’s a great time to be alive. But, add in the bonus that it’s a SZA cover and we’re taken to another level of greatness. So, enough of me fanboying […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @NishoSoul Talks on His Tilted Halo in New Track
Nisho conjures up thoughts of Common and J. Cole on this one for me. Overall, I’m a fan of the two-step-friendly vibes (and production).
