Tyler The Creator Assists Channel Tres On The Uptempo ‘Fuego’
The two genre-bending rappers reunite on Channel Tres’ new EP, ‘I Can’t Go Outside.’ …
Compton dance-hop upstart Channel Tres has released his third EP, I Can’t Go Outside, a day early after announcing its intended release date, December 11, earlier this week. The seven-track EP features guest appearances from Tinashe and Tyler The Creator, the latter appearing on the track “Fuego,” which Tres broke out as a single today as well.
Featuring a typically uptempo beat and deadpan verses from Tres and Tyler, “Fuego” serves a double purpose in addition to its lewd dancefloor come-ons. Speaking to Apple Music about the collaboration, Tres explained, “‘fuego’ was the first song I wrote when I started the project. It was just really about me questioning my art, like, ‘Yo, it ain’t that bad. Why are you scared of this shit?’… So, that’s just me questioning myself as an artist and why am I doing it and stuff like that. And then, Tyler comes in and just kind of shuts up all my doubt. He definitely blessed me with that verse, for sure.”
“Fuego” is the two artists’ second outing as a collective, after Tres remixed Tyler’s “Earfquake” into a techno bop. Tres can also be found on Disclosure’s new album, Energy.
Listen to “Fuego” above. I Can’t Go Outside is out now. Get it here.

Firecamino maintains folk storytelling with new release “Juan The Baptist”
“Juan the Baptist” is a stunning single by Firecamino, blending vivid storytelling with charming melody. The laid-back indie song with folk and country influences sounds like an ancient story told around a campfire after a long night.
The song’s central character is a misguided hero, vulnerable and human. Firecamino emphasizes imperfection over perfection, creating a relatable protagonist. That storytelling gives the song a cinematic, intimate feel.
“Juan the Baptist” handles several musical influences well. Folk-inspired writing and country textures add emotion and familiarity. Meanwhile, the cool indie vibe smooths the edges and lets the track flow naturally without being dramatic.

Lisa Jo finds freedom in chaos, breaking the loop on new release “Runnin in Circles”
Lisa Jo’s latest single, “Runnin in Circles,” is a captivating look at spiritual surrender and emotional exhaustion. The song’s painful cycle of self-destruction and setbacks makes it personal but universally relatable. The song is for anyone who’s been stuck in their own patterns, trying to break free from repeating mistakes.
“Runnin in Circles” captures the emotional exhaustion of repeated rock bottoms. Lisa Jo vividly depicts inner conflict and self-sabotage becoming all too familiar and devastating. The song embraces the emotional wreckage of “burning your own house down,” which is raw and honest.
Evolution makes this record strong. “Runnin in Circles” slowly moves toward surrender and release instead of staying in the dark. Lisa Jo explores that difficult yet transformative moment when control passes to something greater. The spiritual element gives the song depth and resonates beyond heartbreak and frustration. The song’s messiness is lovely. Healing isn’t polished here. Lisa Jo accepts the hard truth of growth, the confusion, the setbacks, and the painful realization that change often happens after the emotional bottom falls out.
