TRACK PREMIERE: LIZZIE WEBER – “YOU”
photos / Tony Hammons Lizzie Weber provides the heart with a dim lit dive bar and a shot of whiskey for the shattered pieces that you just might put it through. I’m literally imagining my 20-year-old heart outside of my body and sobbing to her music at that bar. On “You”, the first song from the upcoming EP “You” out this summer, she says, “The song is essentially about the paralysis that can come with... Read More
TRACK PREMIERE: HOLANDER – “SMOKE”
Photos / Adrien Ordorica Story / Chloe Robinson At the young age of 21, electro-pop artist Holander is really making a name of herself in more ways than one. Holander centers her music on not only empowering herself, but also many others. From supporting the LGBTQ as well as other groups to priding herself on being a feminist, she’s definitely a strong force for change, which shows throughout her music. Her new single “Smoke,”...

TRACK PREMIERE: FELICITY “HAPPILY PARALYZED”
STORY/ ERICA HAWKINS Felicity premieres her new song, “Happily Paralyzed”! There’s a line in Felicity’s latest track where the Australian-born mystic pop songstress raspily rattles off, “Can we go now, can we go now, before we have our doubts?/ Before the clock runs out / Give up on moderation now” that hits me right in my obsessed-with-all-engulfing-love gut. Themes of time well spent (or spent obsessing),... Read More
TRACK PREMIERE: GOLDN “MAMA I’M SO SORRY”
Photos / Nikko LaMere Artist GOLDN’s musical influences range from hip hop to punk rock and everything in between — with writing credits alongside mega stars like Gucci Mane and Rihanna, it’s mystifying that his name isn’t already a household one. With just one listen to his newest song, “Mama I’m so Sorry,” you’ll see why some explain his music and spirit as “enlightening” and “purposeful.” The track is no doubt a... Read More
TRACK PREMIERE: AINSLEY FARRELL – “WALLS”
Californian-born, Sydney based songstress Ainsley Farrell new single ‘Walls’ is a rock-infused folk gospel that will make you want to go to the church of lonely hearts. Her melodies are alluring and her messages delicately wrapped in with her heartstrings on this sunset drenched track.

TRACK PREMIERE: Katelyn Tarver – “LY4L”
photo / Arvida Bystrom Katelyn Tarver is a hyphenate that has breezes through the borders of the music and film industry so seamlessly she makes it look natural. Easy in a way that her big-name projects roll off her tongue with the excitement and causality like someone ordering a delicious steak at SPAGO. Tarver will be appearing alongside Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson in HBO’s Ballers this coming summer, and also happened to co-write Cheryl... Read More
TRACK PREMIERE: POUR VOUS “SOBER”
Photos/LOUIS RODIGER Makeup/KARINA FONTI USING ELCIE COSMETICS Story/MAEGHAN DONOHUE You think you know someone. And then abruptly your mind is blown when they put forth an entirely different kind of creative output. This is precisely what artistic powerhouse couple Johnny What from avant-garde alt-pop band BRÅVES (a LADYGUNN favorite) and actress Christa B. Allen, who broke through in her 2004 role in 13 going on 30, have done via their... Read More
TRACK PREMIERE: LAEL “CAN’T LOSE”
STORY // ANGIE PICCIRILLO I accidentally found Lael one night at Emo Nite in Los Angeles while waiting for another band to go on. It was one of those things where you aren’t paying attention, maybe buying a drink — and then you hear something amazing from the stage that stops you in your tracks. Later on, I discovered his song “Open Waters” — to which I literally lost my mind and sent to every friend I could find that would listen. It’s... Read More
