EarthGang And Wale Flex Their ‘Options’ With Confidence On Their New Collaboration

The track marks the duo’s second single of the year following their ‘Powered Up’ effort which landed on the ‘Madden NFL 21’ soundtrack. …

Considering the fact that their debut album, Mirrorland, arrived a little over a year ago, it may be a bit far-fetched to expect EarthGang’s would deliver their upcoming sophomore project at any point in the near future. Despite this, the Atlanta duo has teased some music over the past few months and now they have finally given their fans a new release in the form of their collaboration with Wale.

The track, entitled “Options,” has grown to be an unreleased fan favorite after they teased the song back in the spring. It’s an uptempo number that finds the trio flaunting the many options they have in their lives. Whether it be in respect to women or their careers, EarthGang and Wale make it clear that they’ll always somewhere to go or something to do.

Earthgang’s last 2020 single, “Powered Up,” can be found on the soundtrack for Madden NFL 21. Other than that, most of the duo’s recent work can be found on the recently released Spillage Village album, Spilligion, where EarthGang appeared on a number of tracks including “End Of Daze,” “Baptize,” “Hapi,” and “Jupiter.” They also joined the rest of the Spillage Village collective for a soulful Tiny Desk performance for the NPR series.

As for Wale, the DMV star released The Imperfect Storm EP earlier this year and released his most recent single, “Flawed” with Gunna, last month.

You can listen to “Options” in the video above.

Wale and Gunna are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

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.
