Brown noise isn’t just another wellness trend floating around the internet. It’s that low, rumbling sound, closer to the drone of a distant aeroplane or the continuous crash of waves. Imagine white noise, but with more bass—the moodier cousin. While white noise might remind you of a TV with no signal, brown noise feels more like nature having a quiet moment (minus the annoying birds or cicadas). So, why should you care? Because brown noise might be your new secret weapon for relaxation, focus, or getting a decent night’s sleep without reaching for the sleeping pills. Brown Noise, White Noise,…

Lily Kershaw’s “Pain & More” serves up heartache with a side of wry humor. Gentle guitar strums and haunting piano notes underscore lyrics that capture post-breakup despair and dreams of simpler times. Kershaw’s voice drifts through this 90s-inspired soundscape, creating a bittersweet ode to emotional and financial struggles that’s oddly comforting.

With vampires, real-life horrors, and an all-star cast, this film is set to be one of 2025’s biggest releases. Get ready for blood, history, and a twist on the vampire genre.
Honestly, I thought I was done with superhero movies. After being a comic collector long before it became mainstream, I’ve started feeling the superhero fatigue hit hard. She-Hulk, Echo, and even the fiasco that was DC’s Suicide Squad (though Deadpool gets a pass) made me think the era of superhero movies was over for me. I haven’t felt the hunger to jump at a new release, let alone a team-up of D-list heroes. But somehow, Thunderbolts has managed to grab my attention. This ragtag squad of antiheroes might be exactly what we didn’t know we needed in the MCU. Forget your picture-perfect superheroes with their neatly pressed…
Meimuna’s latest offering, Ève V., is a musical Trojan horse. It lures you in with its soothing exterior, only to ambush you with its lyrical depth. The track opens with a gentle caress. Meimuna’s vocals float effortlessly over a warm piano melody, creating an initial sense of tranquility. It’s the aural equivalent of sinking into a warm bath after a long day. You might find yourself drifting on waves of nostalgia, memories flickering at the edges of consciousness. But don’t let the serene soundscape fool you. Ève V. is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The French lyrics add an intriguing…
Òlah Bliss takes a detour with Bang Bang, and it’s worth the listen. Known for her R&B stylings, Bliss ventures into alt-pop/rock territory here. It’s a shift, but not a jarring one. Her voice, always distinctive, adapts well to the new genre. It switches between soft and forceful, mirroring the song’s themes of restraint and retaliation. The chorus is catchy: “Bang Bang /Better shut it down / Giving me the run around (bang) / Bet it’s driving you crazy (bang bang)” It’s upbeat, yet carries an undercurrent of defiance. You might find yourself humming it while reflecting on past relationships.…
Dua Saleh’s latest track, “P*ssy Suicide,” is a sonic whirlwind. The song shifts between hushed vocals and bold R&B diva moments, paired with lyrics that are cocky, weird, and emotionally charged. It’s a genre-defying piece that hits with swagger and vulnerability, making listeners question their musical sanity while craving more.
