Netflix Is Raising Prices Once Again: Report
Netflix is facing a decent amount of competition these days, which means they need to find new ways to make more money. You would think all their blockbuster films would be enough, but no. Now, according to CNN, Netflix will be raising its subscription prices. The streaming giant is increasing the prices on its standard and premium plans for US customers. The standard plan is currently $14 a month, which is a dollar more than last year. The premium subscription is now $18 a month, up $2. The basic plan, however, remains at $9.
“We understand people have more entertainment choices than ever and we’re committed to delivering an even better experience for our members,” a Netflix spokesperson wrote in a statement. “We’re updating our prices so that we can continue to offer more variety of TV shows and films.”
“The price increase was a matter of when not if,” McTernan stated to CNN Business. “It shows they think people will be willing to pay more for the service as the pandemic disrupts content production thus making their vast library more valuable.” With Disney+, Amazon Video, Apple TV, Hulu, and HBO Max quickly tearing into Netflix’s once sacred stream base, it makes sense why the giant would increase prices. However, let’s see if it hurts their subscription numbers.

E.G. Phillips unveils where silence speaks the loudest on new release “Empathy for the Night Fly”
The mood of E.G. PHILLIPS’s “Empathy for the Night Fly” is instantly cinematic, dark, introspective, and frozen in time. The track sounds like a scene from a late-night club where everything slows down just enough for feelings to come out. The arrangement is jazz-like in that it lets each part breathe. The arpeggiating Rhodes piano comes and goes, giving the impression that the music is thinking, as if it’s moving.
The song is really about recognition, which is when you hear something in someone else’s voice that reminds you of your own experience. It’s subtle, almost fragile, but it has a big effect on people. That emotional connection is what holds the piece together.
That choice seems deliberate, even defiant. It asks the listener to pay attention differently, not just passively. Every break is a part of the story. E.G. Phillips doesn’t just make the mood; he keeps it going. In that space, “Empathy for the Night Fly” becomes a quiet, powerful look at memory, connection, and shared feelings.

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.
