Alt-Pop Expressionist Eva Grace Announces Single “still cry sometimes”

Haunted by relentless retrospection and emotional turmoil, Eva Grace details how relationships can wreak havoc on the soul in her April 27 single, “still cry sometimes.” Lyrical despair and melodic euphoria are woven together as Eva Grace purges the remnants of love lost.
“This song is about the feeling of being with a person who was never there for you in the way you needed,” says the alt-pop expressionist. “Whether they’re out of your life or not, it’s okay to still feel betrayed by this person. The lingering emotions of past pain are valid, but that doesn’t make them any less painful.”
Eva Grace’s velvety vocals and electro-pop production create a mystical yet mainstream track that solidifies her status as a pop-essential. After all, DMÜ described the inexplicable entertainer as “one of the most promising alt-pop artists around.”
“still cry sometimes” will be released everywhere on April 27. For more on Eva Grace and to listen to her already released tracks, follow her on social media @imevagrace and subscribe to her YouTube channel.

ANACY shines with a heartstring of honesty and cinematic intimacy in her recent single “It’s Not You”

Cape Town’s emerging pop artist, ANACY, has made a compelling return with a hauntingly honest offering in her new single, single, “It’s Not You,” a poignant dive into the intricate dynamics of avoidant attachment that artfully balances emotional chaos with quiet yet vulnerability. Wrapped in a sleek, cinematic production meticulously executed by Mpho Mantyi at Bombsquad Studios, the track’s real magic lies in its emotional duality: fierce yet fragile, presenting a polished yet unfiltered quest for redemption that walks a fine line between control and catharsis.
Upon initial listening, “It’s Not You” may seem like a conventional breakup anthem; however, a more nuanced analysis reveals a more profound significance. ANACY does not attribute her withdrawal from others to their perceived faults; instead, she holds up a mirror to her emotional responses, illuminating the paradox of seeking intimacy while instinctively retreating from it. It’s not cold-hearted rejection; it’s a vivid portrayal of the intricate nature of love undermined by self-preservation, all delivered through a beautifully composed melody.
Her vocal performance resembles intimate confessions scribbled in a journal, soaring into a chorus that feels both triumphant and tender. Sonically, the song shifts the emotional tides it narrates, one moment soft and pensive, the subsequent swelling into an assertive release. A particularly impactful lyric captures the essence of realizing one’s emotional unavailability while simultaneously longing for connection anyway with striking lines: “I knew it from the moment we met / That I would be the lover you would learn to regret.”
What makes “It’s Not You” memorable is its delicate truth: sometimes love falters not because of someone else’s inadequacies but due to our fear. ANACY’s lyricism explores this grey area, extending empathy towards those who navigate love while simultaneously retaining a protective distance.
In this single, ANACY successfully ventures into a more sophisticated creative realm, seamlessly blending alt-pop sensibilities with potent, narrative-driven emotion. The enhancement provided by Sunset Recording Studios further enriches the track’s intimate atmosphere, allowing it to resonate intensely, whether listened to through headphones or speakers. “It’s Not You” transcends mere depiction of heartbreak; it also functions as a therapeutic exploration and healing experience, encapsulating a moment of introspection disguised as pop music. This release signifies a pivotal evolution in ANACY’s artistic trajectory as a songwriter and producer, underscoring the notion that vulnerability can exude confidence and assurance in its sonic presentation.

Kendrick Lamar Beats Drake For Album Of The Year At BET Awards With “GNX”

On a night filled with amazing performances and awards that were rightfully doled out, Kendrick Lamar took home one of the most prestigious accolades of the BET Awards, Album of the Year. Faced with some tough competition from the likes of Drake, who was nominated for his work on $OME $EXY $ONGS 4 U with PartyNextDoor, Kendrick’s GNX closed in with the final comments section. And while both albums have made plenty of waves this past year, it was apparent that GNX had the staying power to push it over the top enough to set itself apart from the pack.
From the moment the nominations began rolling in, fans and critics were already beginning to whisper that Kendrick was the favorite and that they were right. GNX did more than take over playlists and own every room he entered, he engaged in conversations, pushed the boundaries of his craft and produced the kind of masterful art that lives with you long after the music stops. The album displayed Drake’s easy chemistry with PartyNextDoor, who provided silky-smooth grooves and irresistible hooks perfect for late-night playlists. But up against GNX, the nuance of Kendrick’s work just had to win. Instead of an upset, the win registered as the perfectly logical final chapter of Lamar’s incredible year.

Maybe because it felt so particularly earned, given that it was Kendrick Lamar’s return to the BET Awards stage. The artist has been an enigma in award shows in recent years, but he turned it up last night. Arriving on the stage with grace and humility, Kendrick tearfully accepted the award and credited BET for “always doing right by the culture.” His presence was a compelling reminder of his tie to the community and his reverence for the platform that has honored Black excellence for decades.
With the strength of that in mind, GNX appears ready for further recognition, it already has a shot for the 2026 Grammy Awards. If last night’s victory is any indication, Kendrick’s artistic momentum won’t be waning any time soon. Ultimately, both artists presented outstanding work and contributions, but the GNX Project served as a firm reminder of what happens when innovation, authenticity, and cultural resonance are combined, it’s exactly what Album of the Year is supposed to exemplify and celebrate.
