Angel Reese Sets the Record Straight on WNBA Boycott Buzz
Angel Reese recently spoke out to address some misunderstandings about her comments regarding the WNBA, specifically about future negotiations. Reese, who plays for the Chicago Sky, wanted to clarify that she and other players are not calling for a boycott of the league, as some rumors suggested. In a recent episode of her podcast, Unapologetically Angel, Reese chatted with her fellow player, Dijonai Carrington, about the upcoming discussions surrounding the league’s contract negotiations for 2026. During their conversation, Reese mentioned hearing discussions among players about holding out if their requests aren’t met.
Unfortunately, this led to a lot of misinterpretation online, with many believing she was outright demanding a strike or higher salaries akin to those in the NBA. To set the record straight, Reese took to Twitter to explain her point. She said, “I love how y’all have selective hearing. I said ‘I’m hearing if they don’t give us what we want, we sitting out.’ And that’s the truth, I never said anything about the NBA.” She emphasized that she and her teammates are fully committed to negotiating for better pay, resources, and respect. To help people understand her message better, she even shared a link to the full podcast episode so fans could listen to the entire conversation rather than just snippets that may have been taken out of context.
The conversation around pay in the WNBA is an ongoing issue, and Reese’s comments reflect a broader movement among players advocating for their rights. While some may twist her words for sensational stories, Angel Reese passionately works for a brighter future for women’s basketball, not stepping back from it. As the WNBA approaches its next major contract discussions, expect athletes like Reese to continue pushing for changes and making their voices heard.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”
Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.
Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.
If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.
The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.

NOAH. captures the unspoken signals in enchanting R&B track “That’s Bless”
“That’s Bless” captures the unspoken late-night message, the smile that was exchanged from afar, and the feeling you sense but are afraid to say. NOAH. offers a song with a smoky R&B feel and lyrics that capture unspoken tension, firmly in the realm of emotional ambiguity, where connection is clear but not defined.
This piece concerns the subtle discomfort of mixed signals and quiet longings, when looks say more than words ever could. NOAH. handles the theme with restraint, letting the chemistry simmer rather than explode. NOAH.’s delivery shows a confident gentleness, recognizing that some feelings don’t need strict definitions to be real.
In “That’s Bless,” he captures the essence of connection and the compelling allure that endures, even when both parties pretend it is not there. The composition is based on real-life events, and it acknowledges that specific attachments endure in the heart long after one has persuaded oneself of having progressed.
“That’s Bless” is at the crossroads of closeness and distance, clarity and confusion. The song doesn’t resolve the tension it talks about, and that’s what makes it so powerful. It sums up the connection we say we don’t want but keep coming back to in memory, rhythm, and pulse.
