When we lose someone we love, we can feel a million different emotions simultaneously: sadness, anger, denial, and everything in between. While the technical term for it is called “grief,” it is a far more complex emotion and process than these five letters make it out to be. Alt-pop songstress Lauran Hibberd does her best to bluntly explain the stages of grief in her grunge-infused new single, “I suck at grieving.” Writing about the loss of her father, Hibberd opens the floodgates of her emotions and declares that she does not know how to navigate her feelings. Finding her voice… Read more »

Queens-based artist Eartheater contains multitudes. Her experimental electronic and folk-pop sensibilities shine across her five albums, and now her unique sound has taken on the iconic and heavy track “Chop Suey!” by System Of A Down.

Listen to the exceptional and unconventional cover below. The cover and its accompanying black and white visualizer were released ahead of her new album Powders, which will arrive on all streaming platforms on September 20. Ahead of… Read more »

Infused with an emotional charge, their powerful vocal harmonies breathe a profound new life into a song about feeling numb. Cassadee Pope, having co-written the song with Taylor Acorn, is… Read more »
