Track Review: “High by the Beach” – Lana Del Rey
As we all eagerly await the blissful fourth album from the sultry perfection that is Lana Del Rey, her second track from the album has been released today. If you did not already assume so, it was amazing. Teasing us with nautical photoshoots for the single, Lana has continued to build my excitement for Honeymoon.…
Film Review: Southpaw
Southpaw is the Jake Gyllenhaal movie you did not know you needed. It is a fantastic motivational sports movie, filled with drama and suspense. In my opinion, Southpaw is the best boxing movie since Million Dollar Baby, which Clint Eastwood starred and directed. This movie will leave you on the edge of your seat and…
Femme Fatale Friday: Halsey
Every Friday we will be honoring the stunning Female musicians who have caught our eyes, ears, and hearts (we know that sounded corny, but roll with it). This week we're featuring Halsey! I first discovered Halsey at WTSR, the radio station I'm the manager of (open your mind and bang your f**king head!). The second…
2015 Emmy Predictions: Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series
I think everyone in the category for Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series breathed a sigh of relief when Orange is the New Black was deemed a drama series and, in turn, Uzo Aduba was pulled out of contention. With her out of the way, it's going to be a tight race with several women having phenomenal…
Femme Fatale Friday: Lulu James
The stunningly gorgeous Lulu James graced the stage at Gov Ball with Gorgon City earlier in June. Apart from being an absolutely incredible and lively performer, James has a truly beautiful voice that permeated every inch of the venue. Her ability to dance and jump around stage in 6 inch heels and her impressive high…

HANNIBAL -- "The Great Red Dragon" Episode 308 -- Pictured: Caroline Dhavernas as Alana Bloom -- (Photo by: Brooke Palmer/NBC) There’s really no getting around the fact that with “The Great Red Dragon,” Hannibal has become an entirely different animal.

Musical Review: “Amazing Grace”
Chuck Cooper and Josh Young in "Amazing Grace" When the lights go down at the Nederlander Theatre, Thomas (Chuck Cooper) takes the stage. Thomas, a former slave, tells the audience that they may be familiar with the song "Amazing Grace," but they probably don't know the story behind it's creation. Not…
Track Review: “Honeymoon” – Lana Del Rey
The queen of flower crowns and sultry perfection is at it again, enticing fans with her upcoming fourth album Honeymoon. Earlier today, Lana released her track "Honeymoon" from the impending album, and what can I say? She simply has one of the most enchanting voices capable of uttering the most soothingly enigmatic songs I've heard in my lifetime.…
Album Review: Vince Grant – “My Depression is Always Trying to Kill Me”
Despite the high-stakes title of LA singer/songwriter Vince Grant’s debut EP, it doesn’t seem like his depression is always trying to kill him. Sometimes it appears to him as a lover, one with whom he dances and holds onto like an addiction that he describes as a venom in his veins. But Grant’s depression is a cruel…
Album Review: Waxahatchee – “Ivy Tripp”
I saw Waxahatchee perform in a bowling alley this past fall. Used to the punk shows and crowd-sweat that had been there before, the small-ish turnout made the place look way more cavernous than I remembered. I’d forgotten that the small tour she was on was going to provide more low-key affairs, more solo-act than…
