Take The Weeknd and mix him with Jeremih at his best and you have the best way to describe Sam Austins’ ANGST EP without spoiling too much. As I mentioned in a previous review of his stuff, Austins takes the “trapsoul” genre and puts it on its head for the world to see. That happens here […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: Phoenix’s @ArjaySoul Is Looking for Someone "Better Than You"
The press release for this song makes mention that you only get one first impression. Because of that, the PR also asks what does this song tell us about the artist in question, Arjay Soul? To put it bluntly, the song tells me that Arjay is a young man on several quests at once. He’s […]

Read moreNew SOTBMusic: Frank Ocean x @YoungThug – Slide On Me
An unofficial stream of Frank Ocean’s Young Thug-assisted “Slide On Me” recently dropped.
