In the wake of Native American Heritage month host, Sam Shipe discusses Native American musicians from years past as well as newer artists that deserve attention.
The Swedish pop sensation, ABBA, has returned. Although I’m sure you are already well aware of their amazing musical contributions to society, such as Dancing Queen, Mamma Mia, and my personal favorite Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight), you may not have been aware of their triumphant homecoming.
The 1970s are back, decked out in large Bourbon-colored sunglasses, revere collars, Embassy cigarettes, and crushed velvet suits. I absolutely love it! In a world where rap has become the number one musical export, many are left asking where’s the “real R&B” music in 2021? Where did music with instruments, captivating vocal performances, and heart-wrenching climaxes go? Contrary to popular belief it never left. The existence of Childish Gambino, The Internet, Janelle Monae, H.E.R., Kali Uchis, and Miguel are a testament to the modern R&B scene. In March 2021 there was a fortuitous attempt to make R&B mainstream again, thus giving birth to November’s Artist of the Month: Silk Sonic.

The "It boy" of the 90s was a Hollywood bombshell with an upturned button nose, long blond bowl cut, and sparkling blue eyes. His name was River Phoenix. This teen heartthrob was known for his down-to-earth personality paired with a striking appearance.
Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter are some of the most popular fantasy/science fiction franchises to ever grace God’s green Earth and dominate not only pop culture, but also the public eye. Each one recognized for their complex, well-crafted, original worlds and one-of-a-kind characters. Despite the massive success of these franchises, dare I say, Dune is significantly better than any of these—and only one film has been released. You might be asking yourself, how could someone make such a blanket statement that banks off the quality of only the first installment? Well, that chapter was the closest thing to perfection I have ever seen from a big-budget franchise, and that is why it is destined to be the next iconic franchise.
The race for the 2021 Game Awards has begun.

TikTok has become a platform not only for privileged kids to make mediocre dance videos, but also a launching pad for lesser-known artists—or in this case virtually unknown artists—to get their music to the public. For PinkPantheress it has created a huge boost in her very early career this year. What was first a 10-second clip from fashion TikToks, became PinkPantheress’ breakout single “Break It Off.” She eventually released the full version in March 2021 which has amassed over 6 million streams on SoundCloud. Subsequently, she released a series of singles including “Just for me,” “Pain,” and “Just a waste,” and worked with Grammy-nominated artist GoldLink on the song, “Evian” from his fourth project, HARAM!. After a feature and a couple of great dance tracks, myself and her 10 million monthly Spotify listeners were left yearning for more music. Our prayers were finally answered when PinkPantheress released her debut mixtape to hell with it.
