Music & Concerts from My Perspective
NOW PLAYING: The brand-new single “Run Your Mouth” from LA’s own, The Marías. The song and video release mark the first lead single from their upcoming album Submarine (which is the follow-up to 2021’s Grammy-nominated debut album CINEMA). Saturated with primary colors and minimalistic shots, the music video concept blends beautifully with the song’s composition and lyrical content.

Happy Almost-Friday! And can you believe we’re already wrapping up another month of 2021? It’ll be summer before we know it, and that usually means a ton of new music and (maybe shows?) are thankfully on the horizon. I wanted to talk about an artist I just discovered a few weeks ago – the amazing UK-born R&B singer/songwriter Rochelle Jordan. I’ll share my first impressions with the song and video for her single “Next 2 You”, which I’ve been listening to on repeat. And you know what’s even better? I’m just in time for a brand new album release THIS weekend!

The incredibly talented (and unjustly attractive) singer and dancer Kim Jong-in, mononymously known as Kai, released his debut solo project just over a month ago, extending his work beyond active K-pop groups Exo and SuperM (both of which he’s also a current member). The self-titled mini album was prefaced by a visually stunning teaser FILM: KAI just mere days before it’s official release. Known for his enthralling dance skills and smooth voice, this literal Gucci model was able to really shine in his element with this R&B project masterpiece.
Abel Tesfaye, better known to the masses as The Weeknd, dropped a frenetic new music video to accompany the pulsating track “Heartless”, and also shared a second single “Blinding Lights” to kick off this new era – which he has personally described as a “brain melting psychotic chapter”.
This cute little playlist features a ton of acts that just took the stage at the 2019 MTV Europe Music Awards, held this past Sunday in Seville, Spain.

Doja Cat’s feline instincts make their formal debut in the purrr-fectly crafted visual for her latest track “Rules”. This release joins 2019 hit singles “Juicy” (the remix featuring Tyga), and the spanking new ride-or-die anthem “Bottom Bitch”. The sultry track is accompanied by an unexpected (and unapologetic) Christian Sutton-directed music video.

Atlanta’s annual Music Midtown Festival is almost here – can you believe it? In just six days I’ll be in the presence of a few familiar faces, and some that are actually new to me. This marks the first time I’m getting to see both Lizzo and Cardi B, but also the 5th time seeing Travis Scott across the span of just a year. Naturally, I put together a playlist to highlight some acts that I’m looking forward to seeing this upcoming weekend!
This edition of Music Overload features females in hip-hop, interesting collaborations, new music videos and when these artists will be hitting the road. Let’s get right to it!
