Abra Joins Hudson Mohawke & Tiga On Groovy New Single “VSOD”
Hudson Mohawke and Tiga are back with their second collaboration of the year. Following the release of their “Love Minus Zero” they dropped off earlier this year, the pair returned with their new single, “VSOD” which stands for Velvet Sky Of Dreams. The single includes vocals from Abra, marking one of the first times we’ve heard from her since the release of her last solo single in 2018. Euro-dance vibes come out heavy with some disco and garage influences sprinkled throughout.
“I loved her voice and her writing. Nothing was obvious. Everything had a twist,” Tiga said of Abra in a press release. “I heard echoes of ’80s romanticism and forgotten elements of the kind of music I’ve always loved.”
Check out Hudson Mohawke & Tiga’s new single, “VSOD” ft. Abra below.
Quotable Lyrics
In the night, in the night, in the night
You’re dead
And I still dream of sleep
While you all up under me
I pace in my head

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.
