Today is the 30th anniversary of one of Prince’s most-iconic albums. Now, I’m not going to get up here and make a big hullabaloo about the CD. I mean, you all know that I’m going to say that it holds up and is still a classic, fuck your feelings, and so on. It’s a great […]
Read moreNew SOTBMusic: @ebhoniogarro – Mood Ring
Toronto native Ebhoni reminds me of my kids’ mother’s teen sister. That’s not a slight. Both are in their mid-teens, both have powerful voices that still have a lot of pop sensibility to them.
