Rivals EP by Tommy Lefroy

Tommy Lefroy is an up-and-coming duo hailing from the United Kingdom, made up of Canadian singer-songwriter Tessa Mouzourakis and American singer-songwriter Wynter Bethel. They recently released their highly anticipated sophomore EP, Rivals, following the success of their debut EP, Flight Risk, in 2021. The new EP features six dynamic tracks, most of which were self-produced by the duo, with the opening track "Dog Eat Dog" co-produced by Andy Seltzer. The EP's title, Rivals, is a clever satire on society's tendency to pit women against each other. The lyrics of the EP draw inspiration from this theme, with "Dog Eat Dog" addressing external pressures and the defensive behaviour can lead to, while "The Mess" embraces the idea of being imperfect and not conforming to societal expectations. "Worst Case Kid" takes a darker turn, exploring dysphoric thoughts and the allure of unhealthy relationships. Musically, Rivals showcases the duo's ge...

Radical Romantics by Fever Ray

Karin Dreijer, known as Fever Ray, is an iconic artist of the 21st century, known for their groundbreaking and original contributions to visual media, opera, and live performances that blur the lines of identity and anonymity. Their previous album, "Plunge" released in 2017, was known for its brittle and abrasive sound, exploring queer love with fervour. However, with their latest album, "Radical Romantics," Fever Ray takes a different approach, delivering a joyous and witty exploration of love and relationships. One of the standout aspects of "Radical Romantics" is its inventive production, featuring collaborations with experimental artists and producers such as Vessel and NĂ­dia, as well as the legendary Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross from Nine Inch Nails. The album opens with "Even it Out," a menacing track produced by Reznor, where Dreijer confronts a school bully, blurring the line between dark comedy and terrifying reality. However, despite i...
