Teghan Devon has released her new single, “Shadow.” A dark, indie-rock exploration into being hurt by the person you love the most when at a low point. In “Shadow,” Devon explores the feeling of being exploited at her lowest while her partner knew she needed them in that moment and did nothing about it. Now haunted with her partner’s shadow, Devon now has to “mend the scars [and] the memories” without being scared to. “Shadow” will get listeners on a deeper level than most songs: with every person there has been a relationship, no matter if it’s romantic or platonic, that has sucked the light out of them. With “Shadow,” Devon relies on personal matters and delivers it excellently. With haunting electric guitar and eerie imagery, Devon releasing “Shadow” has captured the feeling of a person who isn’t really who they say they are in a bottle. While there are unintentional pains caused by people in our lives, people who knew they hurt the other and still continued to do it anyways is a pain no one should feel; but for those listeners who have felt this pain, “Shadow” resonates on a deep level. While to assume someone is a good person should come as second-nature, there’s a reason that holding back with judgement on someone’s character is a positive attribute of some. With “Shadow,” Devon nails the way how someone intentionally hurting another can haunt them for the rest of their lives. Teghan Devon is an award-winning singer-songwriter based out of the United States. Falling in love with music from a young age, Devon’s been writing and performing her own songs since the age of ten. The years of Devon’s experience show throughout her discography, which includes “I Don’t Wish You The Best” among other great songs, and her accolades, including being a finalist in the International Songwriting Competition. With inspirations like Taylor Swift, Mitski, and Phoebe Bridgers, Devon’s discography takes shape from her world and the emotional vulnerability shown in her discography has listeners wanting more.

On her fourth headlining tour, Lorde stripped down and bared herself, both literally and in her performance. Maturing publicly, Lorde released her iconic first album, Pure Heroine , at the age of only sixteen. Twelve years and three wrapped tours later, she came back fiercely with her fourth album, Virgin . Accompanied by a myriad of extraordinary opening talent, the second tour night in Nashville, Tennessee, was led by bands Chanel Beads and The Japanese House. Lorde opened with "Hammer" / taken by my partner Avery Glenn After Chanel Bead's sleazey shoegaze and The Japanese House's heartfelt indie pop sets, the lights went black and anticipation built before she finally stepped out on stage. Aptly opening her set with the first song on Virgin, "Hammer," Lorde entered the stage wearing grey boxers that peeked out of casual jeans and a black "baby tee" (a reference to her song GRWM), accessorized in silver glitter on her shoulders. "Hammer" is a song that builds progressively into something sonically big, mirroring perfectly the progression of the show. Following the first song was her debut hit single, "Royals," which sparked screams of recognition from the crowd. Ping-ponging from her different musical eras, Lorde demanded the audience's attention and affection. Lorde spoke about peeling back her layers as she stepped out of her jeans, revealing herself in grey boxers. She had two back-up dancers who came out in all black, one and then another, before changing into the same grey boxers. The dancers traded off a handheld camcorder connected to the large screen onstage, getting close-up footage of Lorde performing, focusing in on her exposed stomach. In one moment, a dancer held both Lorde's microphone and the camera as she sang into it. This brought an intimate touch to the performance, amateur and fun. As the set continued, Lorde was splashed out in increasing amounts of silver glitter, reaching from her fingertips to kneecaps. "Current Affairs" / taken by Avery Glenn A treadmill was brought on center stage for the performance of "Supercut." Danced on and around by Lorde and her dancers, it was a display of gradually increasing energy. The lights were particularly aligned with each song, bathing the venue and attendees in color. After "Supercut," Lorde declared, "Okay now, Nashville, I want to play some random shit for you on this tour" before plunging into her sweaty and joyous 2013 single "No Better." "No Better" / taken by Avery Glenn Lorde's energy funneled directly into the crowd, who was moving and singing alongside her. She made use of a podium at the edge of the crowd that rose up above the stage when she sang on it. Her setlist was thoughtfully curated, focusing primarily on Virgin, but sharing a perfectly balanced number of songs from previous albums Pure Heroine, Melodrama , and Solar Power . As the show came to a close, Lorde depicted the album's iconography wearing silver tape across her chest during her performance of "Man of the Year." She has been vocal about how her understanding of personal gender has evolved and expanded while working on Virgin. Ending the intimate show by coming directly down into the audience, Lorde sang her pulsing album closer "David." She walked through the crowd, all bodies turned toward her and split down the middle as she walked across to the other side of the room. She powerfully sang the overarching lyric, "I don't belong to anyone," and the sound clung to every atom in the room. Standing on a small podium across the room from the stage, in a reflective rain jacket, Lorde closed her set with "Ribs" from Pure Heroine. I felt she was paying homage to the songs that began her journey. Blue confetti, the color of her album's ultrasound cover, burst through the air when she finished singing. Closer "Ribs" / taken by Avery Glenn Lorde's inner self radiated through her performance, obliterating walls and facades. Attending The Ultrasound Tour has changed the way I hear her music. She drew every member of the audience in, captivating and raw. Easily, she proved herself to be one of the most natural and talented performers I have ever encountered.

"Look Me In The Eye" by Edie Yvonne reflects on the darker realities of the world in a plea for mutual understanding and connection. With a masterful use of rhetorical questioning, the lyrics ask, "why does no one seem to care that the flowers are blooming?" This bold question emphasizes the lack of society's care for the positives in life. The speaker of the song expresses the need to feel seen, expressing the way they reach out for recognition with the use of its title in the chorus. Encapsulating the sensation that the world is broken and no one seems to care, this bold track offers listeners a hauntingly realistic worldview. This song hits the ear like a transcendent exploration of your dark inner voice. Acoustic fingerpicking in a minor key and haunting humming draws listeners into the immersive melancholy of the track. Breathy vocals paint the tune with a gloom that beautifully expresses the metaphysical questioning of the lyrics. Spanning Edie's vocal range, the song moves through vocal fry-tinged lows through the verse and airy highs in the chorus. Percussion and electric guitar strings ring out as palm-muted acoustic chords bring a pop-rock energy like a symphony of expression in the chorus. The percussion continues through the rest of the song alongside haunting vocal layers. Picking up the pace in the bridge, the track takes on a head-spinning intensity that reflects the feeling of losing time presented in the lyrics. The song ends at the highest point of her vocal range as humming comes back to escort listeners into the realm of reflection the song's meaning conveys. Edie Yvonne is a 16-year-old Los Angeles-based singer and songwriter. Listeners from across the globe enjoy the way her lyrics take you into the emotional turmoil and euphoria of being a teenager.

The Madison Theatre in Covington, KY was buzzing with Poppy fans lined up around the block for this stop on the They’re All Around Us Part 2 Tour. Despite the sea of black attire, it was one of the kindest crowds to be a part of. The small venue felt charming and inviting as fans gathered for the show in anticipation. Poppy’s openers, MSPAINT and Dying Wish took the stage first. Both bands were full of energy, with MSPAINT’s signature synth sound and Dying Wish’s multi-talented lead singer hyping up the crowd like no other. Dying Wish Finally, it was time for the show to begin. Poppy’s band entered the stage first, faces adorned with creepy, skin-like masks, the perfect addition to her eerie aesthetic. After a brief intro, our queen greeted the crowd with the first song on her new album, “have you had enough?”. She wore a loose-fitting suit vest and frilly, bloomer-like shorts. Her microphone and stand were dotted with pink rhinestones. The look was so very, well, Poppy! Combining macabre and feminine elements is just what she does, and we were living for it. Poppy opening the show with "have you had enough?" After introducing herself to the crowd, she got right into the set with a song from her first metal album, I Disagree . Throughout the set, Poppy would come back to this album several times. This time, though, it was “BLOODMONEY”, a song with a repetitive, catchy hook to get the crowd amped. The red lighting on and off during the performance really enhanced the vibe. Between some songs, scripted segments with Poppy talking to a creepy, disembodied voice (recognizable from Poppy’s YouTube channel) would sometimes play, and they were certainly entertaining. Next, Poppy played the song she made with Bad Omens, “V.A.N”. Her soft vocals against booming bass and drums simply can’t be described over text. Even the studio recordings of this song are nothing compared to hearing it live. Next was my personal favorite Poppy song, “the cost of giving up”. Despite still being heavy, this one was emotional. This was definitely the part of the concert where the crowd really lost themselves in the music. It’s a song that’s impossible not to sing along to, and the featured single from her newest album, Negative Spaces . Poppy’s next song, “Anything Like Me” was a fun, rhythmic metal jam to keep the spirits up. Poppy singing "the cost of giving up" I’m sure you know by now, but Poppy has this thing for violently shifting between dark and light. The music can go from metal to pop in an instant, and that’s exactly what she did here. Next up was “crystallized”, another of my personal favorites. It’s a strangely positive sounding song with fittingly ominous lyrics. This one was a lot of fun live and had the crowd jumping. After “crystallized”, Poppy treated us to two more emotional new album hits, “vital” and “the center’s falling out”. While “vital” is more melodic, Poppy’s duality really shined when switching to the intense heaviness of “the center’s falling out”. She also snuck in the song she recently released with Babymetal, "from me to u". Poppy performing "crystallized" The next part of the show was more connective, ominous, and macabre in typical Poppy fashion. She returned to the stage holding a scary mask to fit alongside her song, you guessed it, “Scary Mask”. Of course, this was all building up to the next three iconic finale pieces. “I Disagree”, “Bite Your Teeth”, and the masterpiece that is “Concrete”, all from her first metal album we mentioned earlier. “Concrete” was so much fun live, with all its musical twists and turns with lighting and performance energy to match. This was meant to be the show’s ‘fake last song’ as they say, and it delivered. Poppy performing "Scary Mask" Finally, it was time for the encore, where we were treated to the tour’s titular song, “they’re all around us”. This was one of most emotional and intense performances of the night, which is crazy considering how amazing everything was up to this point. Poppy also gifted us one last song in “new way out”, a song about finding yourself in a world that wants you to be anything but. It’s a track that summarizes Poppy’s entire journey in the limelight, from YouTube star to pop musician, to finding herself in metal. It was truly the perfect way to end off a night full of excitement. Poppy performing her encore performance of "they're all around us" So, what did you think? Would you go see Poppy live? Her tour is continuing worldwide right now, so grab those tickets while you can! This show is unforgettable. Let us know your thoughts at any of our socials below!

ALTRBOY’s new single, TAKE ME HOME, is an alternative pop song about losing yourself. In her situation, she left a decade-long relationship and went to chase her dreams in Los Angeles, California. At first, it was magical and full of endless possibility. But, after too many late nights out, that excitement melted down into loneliness and disconnection. We can all resonate with starting a new chapter in life whether that be going off to college, getting married, starting a new job, or numerous other things. Sometimes, we take those risks, it ends up being a misstep, and we long for what we consider “home”. TAKE ME HOME is a slower, sad song. The loneliness and disconnection I mentioned earlier are found in lyrics like “Think I’ve lost it. Think I’m haunted. By my demons and my monsters. So will you take me home? To a place that I know.” In contrast, lyrics like “And I’m just following the stars, whether near or far. I hope they’ll take me where I belong cause I’m falling apart” describe the desperation to make this uncertain situation worthwhile. I love the way the lyricism, production, and tone of her voice contribute to the melancholy atmosphere. In addition to that, the cover art completely captures the atmosphere as well. I absolutely love everything about it! ALTRBOY is a singer-songwriter based in Los Angeles, California. She has worked with Grammy award winning producers and songwriters from DJ Mustard to Darkchild to everyone else in between. She has credits in the film and TV industry and has helped other independent artists find their sound. Blending grungy alternative pop with raw emotion and cinematic textures, she is making her unique stamp on the music industry. If you like this song, I encourage you to check out “ LAMBO EYES ”. I’m looking forward to hearing more music from her. Written By Jazz FOLLOW ALTRBOY: Instagram | Spotify
