WILLOW, aka Willow Smith, is back with a new song and accompanying visualizer for “alone.” The simple, yet stunning black-and-white music video zooms in and out of an ever-expressive WILLOW as she sings over a simple jazzy drum beat. Though a departure from her pop-punk albums <COPINGMECHANISM> and lately I feel EVERYTHING, the calming track harkens back to the R&B-centric songs from 2020’s THE ANXIETY. Check out the song and visualizer below. WILLOW directed the video herself, and even shared a short video from the creation of it. Dressed in all black, she sits in front of a large white… Read more »

Last night, during Fall Out Boy’s headlining So Much (For) Tour Dust performance in London, the pop-punk mainstays brought special guest, Waterparks’ Awsten Knight, on stage to perform “Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy.” The brief collaborative moment was one to rejoice over as Waterparks and FOB fans previously speculated that a proper collaboration may be in the works between the artists and had hoped one may emerge on either FOB’s March release, So Much (For) Stardust or Parx’s April release, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. While neither of those things came to fruition, and let’s face it, there seemed to be very… Read more »

Halloween is basically emo kid Christmas. It’s the season of the year where you can don silver chains and skull jewelry, create fake blood makeup, decorate your house with every single Jack Skellington item in existence, and more, without any questions from the normies of the world. Additionally, it’s the time when celebs such as Heidi Klum use their wealth for good and make elaborate, cool costumes such as this year’s peacock offering featuring 10 Cirque Du Soleil performers as her feathers.

Here at idobi, we love artists who make a statement with their music. From Green Day’s American Idiot to Neck Deep’s The Peace And The Panic, music and lyrics remain a powerful outlet for bands to share their socio-political views and spark movements within their fanbases. YouTube star turned pop-punk act, NOAHFINNCE is speaking out on trans rights and calling out TERFs in his latest single, “scumbag.” Combining his unique blend of distorted guitars and Myspace-era synthesizers, the new song is a dynamic diss track that cleverly fights back against transphobia. With lyrics like “this inclusion delusion gender confusion/why are… Read more »
The music industry can feel like a boxing match. Some days, you’re swinging with full strength, claiming every opportunity you can and being applauded by the public for your artistry. On other days, the crippling self-doubt that comes with grinding on the road and being on social media can knock you out faster than you came. This competitiveness, mixed with imposter syndrome, is a juxtaposition that the music business can make bands in the scene feel. These complex feelings are precisely what Jhariah’s new single, “Eat Your Friends,” is about. Featuring his friends and Baltimore natives in Pinkshift, the track… Read more »
