PJ Lets Haters Know She’s Here To Stay In Her Vibrant ‘I’m Forreal’ Video With Lute

The singer offers a visual to the lush track off her recent EP ‘Waiting For Paris.’ …

North Carolina singer PJ has had an eventful year. Along with dropping her EP Waiting For Paris, her track “Element” got a major co-sign when it was featured on Issa Rae’s curated Insecure season 4 soundtrack. The singer is also gearing up to make her debut on The Tonight Show Wednesday but first, PJ tapped Dreamville Records rapper Lute to join her in a captivating video alongside their track “I’m Forreal.”

Directed by Alison Roberto, PJ’s “I’m Forreal” video captures the singer’s vibrant energy and positions the two NC natives representing their hometown in LA. Dressed to the nines in various locations, PJ flaunts her self-made status through each boastful verse. “F*ck ’em all / Cuz baby I’m good / I found my little red right out the hood / I found a way to navigate round the woods,” she sings.

Ahead of the visual’s release, PJ wrapped up a nine-city Get Out The Vote tour with Common, which made stops in a handful of swing states. Prior to their tour, Common had called on PJ to appear with him at the virtual Planet Afropunk festival.

“We Keep Walking” by Foxy Leopard explores the quiet forces that lead us toward history

Foxy Leopard

There is something unsettling about being on a journey that does not end when the destination is not assured. That tug is at the heart of Foxy Leopard’s cinematic alt-country sound on “We Keep Walking.” What looks like a simple step forward becomes a meditation on history, community, and the choices people make before they know the consequences.

The concept album Foxy Leopard released earlier tells the story of the last months before the American Civil War through the lives of common people, and the song is a turning point that takes a different turn from a typical historical song. It’s not zooming in on the war itself but on the unseen momentum building around normal families and communities.

Foxy Leopard dishes up alt-country with a cinematic edge, and “We Keep Walking” seems to be a particularly potent example of that style. This song has a forward motion that fits its theme, a driving pulse, and darker implications all the more apparent.

The vocal and production approach serves the storytelling, and there’s a control beneath the energy that makes the track’s space feel reflective, uneasy, and quietly dramatic. Foxy Leopard demonstrates how alt-country can be employed for cinematic storytelling without sacrificing its human scale. If you’re a fan of atmospheric alt-country, storytelling songwriting, and songs that find personal meaning in grand historical moments, there’s a lot to discover on “We Keep Walking.”

Lana Crow unveils a fun getaway for summer freedom on latest release “Japrisot”

Lana Crow

Lana Crow‘s latest release, “Japrisot” is a song that feels carved from sunshine, open roads, and the call of the sea. Lana Crow’s sunny summer feel here is a perfect fit. The song takes inspiration from The Lady in a Car with Glasses and a Gun, and while it has a playfully dramatic touch, its energy is squarely aimed at adventure. Right away, the attitude is set in the lyrics, “I stole your car, I bet you weren’t prepared for this. I am driving off. To the sea, to the joy you can never know. It’s cheeky, it’s bold, it’s just right for the song’s freewheeling summer vibe.

“Japrisot” musically has the feel of a classic pop tune, with a bass line that serves as an especially enjoyable foundation for the guitar. Lana’s vocal texture is another appealing element, her breath control and warmth are cool, giving the song a playful drama without overwhelming its breeziness.

Lana Crow keeps the track moving with lyrics about speed, excitement, and the rush of taking control, the feeling of movement goes on. I’m driving fast, the rush of hitting the gas, it feels so hot, it makes me feel like a badass, this is what I call freedom. The song doesn’t just talk about a sunny day, it gives the heat, the road, and the sea something bigger, something that’s part of an escape.
