Don’t go assuming your favorite R&B singers are all wounded-hearted balladeers, wailing on the mic and penning tear-stained lyrics about unrequited pining. For Toronto R&B jack of all trades JAHKOY—who is now producing and recording as well as writing his music—joy is the modus operandi. Even on its quieter cuts, his new album Tangible maintains […]

Among the many things that 2021 stood for, it was the year live sports returned in full effect. After COVID hit the world in March of 2020, canceling major sporting events and causing professional sports leagues to create “bubbles” in order to carry out their seasons, this year was much more normal.
