In Time For Valentine’s Day Sarantos Is Sweet On “Love Always Wins”
Sarantos delivers a sweet ode to the sweetest emotion on the timely “Love Always Wins”. Right in time for Valentine’s Day, there is a beauty to the way that he sculpts the sound. His voice, always exceptional, gets a bit more vulnerable within the song. The layered approach adds to the timeless quality of the work. A light rock quality helps to give the song additional heft. By far however the true heart of the sound resides in his poetic lyricism. Done with dignity, nods to the Talking Heads’ later period work, the post-anxiety, appears throughout. Indeed, there is a timelessness about the way it all comes together.
Right from the beginning he wastes no time in setting the effortless groove. A lightness of sorts enters into the equation for he employs a spirit of restraint to the arrangement itself. The rhythm too has an easy-going aspect to it never feeling rushed. Due to all of these specific elements the song has tremendous heart behind it. Much of the work has a vulnerability, an intimacy, one that has an affectionate cadence to it. Verse upon verse further helps to keep the song focused. Thanks in large part to his vivid imagery within the lyricism a whole story, a fondness for another, helps to further highlight the personal aspect of the piece, all the way to the finale.
“Love Always Wins” features the undeniable ear for melody and storytelling that has become a prominent fixture within Sarantos’ work.

Boorook’s latest release, “Fight For Your Rights,” is both a song and a movement. The Indigenous people have a strong voice, and from the first beat, the song has a strong, urgent, and very human energy. “Fight For Your Rights” is an example of how conscious hip-hop can serve as art activism. The track is about unfair systems, and it’s clear that it supports the Black Lives Matter movement. Clarke’s performance is more than just a show, it’s a call to action that tells people to face hard truths and connect with the pulse of community and defiance.
Thomas Lorenzo’s live guitar adds an unexpected yet beautiful layer, giving the rhythm an emotional depth that makes it feel soulful. The track sounds real because it has real instruments and hip-hop beats. This shows how good Boorook is at mixing styles and still getting the message across.

Malammore unveils a new voice rising from portugal’s margins on new album “Aurora”
Malammore, whose real name is Sandro Feliciano, is a singer, songwriter, and producer from Lisbon, Portugal. “Aurora” is his first album. The album comes out on January 23 and tells the story of his life as a young Black man, his search for belonging, and his country’s cultural resistance. The lyrics talk about love, adoption, thoughts on humanity, and how the artist sees his role in the world. The concept for the album originated from a notebook containing poems, narratives, and my self-perception within this world. It’s a record of the Black experience in Portugal, of belonging and feeling alone, of love and loss.
Sandro, also known as Malammore, was born in 2005 and lived with the Portuguese State for two years until he was adopted in 2008, which was a big change in his life. One of the main ideas in Aurora is to turn the idea of a “black hole” into “the world’s white hole,” which shows a universe that erases identities. He challenges dominant narratives and changes how people see black bodies in society by filling it with the idea of blackness.
The album mixes hip-hop, rap, trap, and spoken word, which is not something that is usually done. Malammore gets the political tone of the project from people like Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Angela Davis, and Fela Kuti. No Icon (Rodrigo Fernandes) did the production, mixing, and mastering for the album at Lisbon Sound Society.
