“Old Town Road” was a massive cultural event. Aside from the song’s chart success, the “Official Movie” and “Official Video” versions of the clip have over a billion combined views on YouTube. If you ask Lil Nas X, though, that’s not his best video, or even his second best.
A fan Twitter account recently posed the question, “Now that we’ve had time to enjoy the ‘HOLIDAY’ video, In what order would you rank all of Lil Nas X’s Music Videos?” Nas himself replied in a now-deleted tweet, ranking his videos from first to last, “Holiday,” “Panini,” “Old Town Road,” and “Rodeo.
He also recently responded to a fan commenting on the success of “Holiday.” Nas tweeted, “i took a 8 month break, and still we hit 12m on youtube, top 20 on spotify. i’m thankful for that. now is my time to promote and build a bigger fanbase. i’m working as hard as ever. we got this guys. a year from now every song i drop will pop.” Somebody else chimed in, “dont skress it bro. mfs finna tune in for CMBYN! Holiday a bop regardless,” and Nas replied, “not stressed king. otr took months to take off, panini didn’t peak until 4 months later. yeah they will tune in to cmbyn but Holiday is the focus rn. we will make it work.”

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.
