Cortez Lake shines through the storm with soulful track “Lucky 2b Alive”
Cortez Lake’s latest single, “Lucky 2b Alive,” is an exposed damage cinched in pure strength and a bold declaration that surviving the worst days deserves to be honored. There’s weight to Cortez Lake’s delivery, a well-earned wisdom that leaks out of every bar. You listen to this song, but you also feel it. Deeply thoughtful lyricism doesn’t shrink from pain but instead walks right into the fire and somehow finds light on the other side. In the production, the players introduce an entirely new layer.
The beat is human, a pounding that swells and recedes like an emotional tide. It has a sound that provides enough space for the lyrics to breathe, and enough emotional weight to stand on its own. It’s the kind of record that ends up at the center of motivational playlists. “Lucky 2b Alive” is a testament to the sort of survival most people remain silent about. It’s for the days when getting out of bed seems like a victory, when that single breath in feels like a fist shaking at the world.
For fans of conscious rap and the contemporary emo vibes of rap-adjacent hip-hop/R&B, the voice of Cortez Lake is both something you’ve never heard before and something you’ve known forever. It’s like hearing your friend tell you their truth in a quiet moment of clarity. “Lucky 2b Alive” is a song to embrace the soul. Cortez Lake creates a space not just for himself as an artist, but also as a survivor and a person with something tangible to say. And in a world where noise all too often eradicates nuance, “Lucky 2b Alive” serves as a testament to the idea that truth, when combined with heart, will always get through.

pixelgrinder powers up a dark and fully charged new release titled “Nocturnal”
Manchester, NH-based electronic-rock artist pixelgrinder steps boldly into the dark with debut release “Nocturnal.” It’s an amped-up set that trims both mood and muscle. As a creator of music made with cochlear implants, pixelgrinder has always found ways to defy listeners’ expectations creatively, by crafting all-encompassing soundscapes that are equal parts cinematic, mechanical, and deeply human.
“Nocturnal” ventures deeper into rock-based space than the artist’s debut album without straying from the dark electronic pulse that makes up pixelgrinder’s persona. Industrial textures scrape against great guitar lines, with driving rhythms injecting an alt-rock urgency that lends the project a solid late-night energy. The effect is less that of a gradual slipping into darkness than that of movement through it, unbending, concentrated and thrilling.
What makes “Nocturnal” interesting is how transitional it feels. This release serves as a stepping stone of sorts, linking past experiments in digital emotion whatever’s next. Hints of influence seem to come from darkwave and industrial rock, edging towards the more aggressive electronic body music on offer here, with its intensified percussion and broadened vocal arrangements that White Mask promises to deliver. On “Nocturnal,” pixelgrinder crystallizes a vision, and it’s a dark statement that hints at evolution, ambition, and an unquiet creativity that refuses to go into standby mode.
