It’s not uncommon for Bryce Gotta’s lyrics to be incomprehensible on first listen. Professionally known as Belis, she’s even jokingly apologized on Twitter: “Sorry if you can’t understand me, I’m speaking in Belish.” Often described as a “baby voice” by fans, her saccharine, high-pitched vocals are heard on standout singles “Hysterical Glamour” and “LEMONADE,” which have […]

With this week’s […]
Ever since Ari Lennox signed to Dreamville Records in late 2015, the Washington, D.C. talent was determined to deliver a debut album that fully represented who she is. More than three years later—along with an EP, various guest spots, and opening for J. Cole on tour—Lennox has released Shea Butter Baby, a labor of love […]
I’ve been avoiding any and all details about Quentin Tarantino‘s new and ninth film, Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood, like the plague. I haven’t even watched the new trailer—I wanna go in cold and pure, baby! And that definitely means muting any and all details the Cool Kids at Cannes are tweeting for clout vis-à-vis their […]
