Premiere: Dolly Dirtbag Releases a New Single “All This Time”

Dolly Dirtbag Releases a New Single “All This Time”. “All This Time,” is a melancholy, nostalgic song about yearning for and mourning the loss of a younger, more perfect version of yourself. Written, produced, and recorded by Dolly Dirtbag. She is at times bratty, at times wistful, at times enraged and her songs range from dreamy ballads to experimental sound poems to high energy pop, all with electronic production, catchy melodies, and an affinity for processed or altered vocals. Her diverse influences include Kate Bush, Caroline Polachek, Mitski, Oneohtrix Point Never, SOPHIE, and late 90s Eurodance/pop-infused trance.
In September 2018, Dolly self-released UNCOVERED, her debut EP, and in May 2019, she graduated from CalArts with an MFA in Music Technology. At CalArts, Dolly developed the Infinity Glove and Dolly’s Selfie Stick, two tools to help bring the character(s) to life in performance. In June 2020, Dolly released the single “Broken Shell,” and also opened her online shop, where she sells handmade and reworked clothing and jewelry. She plans to release three more singles in August and September 2021: “All This Time,” ” I Want Everyone to Like Me,” and “Too Little Too Late” before self-releasing her debut full-length album, Slug Dreams on September 14, 2021.

The Dolly pantheon plays with feminine tropes like the sexualized little girl, the bratty teenager, the scorned woman, but also includes a gender-neutral, calm, and heavenly slug and seeks to complicate stereotypes by refusing to occupy a stable persona. Dolly thrives most in areas of tension between supposed opposites or differentiated categories: in between characters, genres, genders, in between high and low-brow culture. The project also straddles the line between playful, over-the-top sarcasm and raw emotional vulnerability and in doing so speaks to the universal struggle to forge a self somewhere in between authenticity and performance.

Fliptrix and Frisco trade sharp bars on new release “Visionaries”

Honk Magazine Default

Fliptrix’s New single “Visionaries,” featuring Frisco, treads in potent territory and sounds both rooted and revolutionary. Set over an urgent, head-nodding beat, the track makes no bones about its presence, crisp drums, laser-sharp energy, and a tone that suggests all kinds of intention from the first bar.

This link-up feels as undeniably generational as they come. Two experienced voices join here not to compete, but to elevate. Fliptrix is delivering with clarity and conviction, his pointed bars cutting through the production as if with purpose. Frisco counters that intensity step for step, delivering grit and veteran poise that enhances the weight of a record. The chemistry seems organic, less a matter of design than a meeting of minds.

What distinguishes “Visionaries” isn’t just its lyrical insight but also its balance. The track brooks grit, yet it’s not ever chaotic, and there’s a meditative undercurrent beneath the urgency, as if both artists are contemplating even as they move forward. It’s message-driven but not in a heavy-handed way, motivational without getting soft.

Sonically and spiritually, the single hits right at the vein of U.K. hip-hop tradition, authenticity, resilience, and self-awareness, but with an eye fixed resolutely on what’s to come. It’s music for thinkers and builders, for those forging their own path. With “Visionaries,” Fliptrix and Frisco don’t merely align bars, they swap perspective. The result is an anthem that reaches past the beat, a pointed reminder that vision is earned, disciplined, and unshakeable.

Hennzo delivers a must-hear track with “Premium”

Henzo

Hennzo makes a swift impression on listeners with the release of his new single, “Premium,” From the moment it begins, the track delivers on its name, here is something elegant, purposeful, and crushing. It’s the sort of record that doesn’t float in the background, it takes over a room.

Anchored in crisp, hard-hitting production, “Premium” offers a polished sound terrain that feels lovingly molded but with its edge intact. Each component within the blend serves a specific purpose. The beat knocks with confidence, but not so much that there isn’t room for Hennzo’s vocals to slide smoothly across the track. That balance is where the magic lies.

What ultimately distinguishes “Premium” is the confidence in Hennzo’s delivery. His voice has a confident calm that makes every line feel ordered and assured. He doesn’t follow the beat, he commands it. That kind of control elevates the hook into something that sticks in your head long after you’ve heard the song fade out. It’s infectious without going overboard, and catchy without sacrificing substance.

For all its chilled-out opening, where’s the “Billie Jean”-level sprightliness? Each listen reveals the subtle layers in its production and the nuanced charisma in Hennzo’s performance. It’s a perfect fusion of skill and character, a song that feels just as natural blasting through speakers or as the score to a nocturnal passage. With “Premium,” Hennzo doesn’t just send us a single, he sends a message. It’s refined, propulsive, and intent-driven, a record that not only will meet expectations but meets them handily.
