“Light & Love” by A!MS is a unity soundtrack that hits home

Honk Magazine

A!MS shares a message that extends far beyond borders with a new single, “Light & Love.” Joining forces with reggae legend Julian Marley, Grammy Award-winning producer Antaeus, and sonic pioneer Hypertone, A!MS has created a genre-bender that throbs with rhythm, purpose, and soul. “Light & Love” is a tribute to human connection, enveloped in reggae’s warm embrace and the electric charge of dancehall. But there’s a lower and more provocative buzz below the surface. Tagged under the banner of “Global Street,” a genre A!MS himself helped define, the cut is a cultural crisscross, hip hop’s wayward DNA threaded neatly to thuggish beats, drill reggae’s conscious roots, and digital age dandification.

It’s music with no borders, from people with no boundaries. Julian Marley provides the song with earthy spiritual weight and ties it closer to its legacy. His mature, rich, and as real as it gets, his voice serves as the beacon. Meanwhile, A!MS raps with the assurance of a genre as shapeshifting, sputtering rhymes that are close to the ground in street realism yet possess an air of worldly ambition. Antaeus and Hypertone polish it all off with a clean but glowing production style that throbs with the heartbeat of the multicultural world the track unites.

Beyond a mere collaboration, “Light & Love” is an intersection of the minds, a joining of cultures, and a universal call to rise. It is uplifting and prides itself in its heritage, the unity of its members, and a future of borderless music. If you’re catching it on the dance floor, through headphones, or letting it soundtrack your next sunset, “Light & Love” comes out swinging. It’s a song that sounds like hope and revolution. A!MS is building bridges. And if this single is any indication of what’s to come, the “Global Street” movement is about to echo across continents with purpose.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”

Lisa Boostani

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”

NOAH.

“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.
