Megan Thee Stallion Hints at Epic “Mamushi” Music Video, Is a Japanese Cinema Tribute on the Horizon?

Megan Thee Stallion isn’t slowing down after a whirlwind tour and the release of her album MEGAN. The rapper just teased a cinematic music video for her Yuki Chiba-assisted track “Mamushi,” which has quickly become a fan favorite. While the release date and details remain under wraps, the black-and-white visuals suggest a possible nod to Japanese film.

Amidst the excitement, Megan faces mixed reactions, including criticism from Lil Pump over her endorsement of Kamala Harris. He took to social media to disparage her political involvement and support for Harris, contrasting it with his backing of Donald Trump for 2024.

Adding to the drama, Megan is dealing with renewed conspiracy theories about the Tory Lanez shooting, which her former best friend Kelsey Nicole addressed on Twitter, reaffirming that her name was cleared.

As Megan gears up for the “Mamushi” video, fans are left wondering if other MEGAN tracks will receive similar treatment or remain hidden gems. With seven months of high drama and success already in the bag, 2024 looks set to be another blockbuster year for the Houston rap star.

Album Review

Paul Terry, Aptøsrs & Cellarscape unite on bold new album “Alternative Piano Club”

Combining his three artistic alter egos, Paul Terry presents an awe-inspiring new 12-track album, “Alternative Piano Club,” written in collaboration with Aptøsrs and Cellarscape. This is an album-length voyage of music that blends acoustic, rock, and piano-driven cinematic sounds.

Torn between this complex emotional spectrum, all the while the piano remains at its core throughout. Paul Terry opens his “Memento Mori (Chromogenic Phase)” contemplatively, creating a solemn, reflective mood. Cellarscape’s “Three Years Of Roses“ is warmer, whereas Aptøsrs’ “Questionnaires“ is much more textured as a large, sculptural post-rock.

“Dave’s Theme,” written by Paul Terry, musically expands the narrative with a touch of cinematic elevation that aligns well. “We Shape The Clouds” by Cellarscape is fluffy and heart-warming, “Writers Behind The Curtain” is somber, more narrative. We are all together in “A Place We Made,” an honest, intimate, emotionally grounded space.

The project contains vocal warmth and cultural depth in the song “This Is My Home“ by Silas Miami & Lana Crowster. Proceeding in a totally different direction is the stronger emotional clarity of Paul Terry’s acoustic storytelling on “Any Time You Want To Fly” and “No Sleep Has Come.” Cellarscape presents a wide, spacious atmospheric moment in “Cygnus,” while Aptøsrs ends with “Rust Mountain (Monochrome Piano Version),” a simple gem that brings the project full circle.

The mixing of Sam Okell and Adam Noble, the mastering of Alex Wharton and Robin Schmidt have, in many ways, brought their polish to it while still making it feel human. “Alternative Piano Club” is a work entity, where three musical personalities met and talk mind in the same emotional language.
