Premiere: Lux Beauregard Reveals Indie-Pop Debut Single To The World Titled “Fireworks”

Indie-pop singer-songwriter Lux Beauregard is releasing her debut single. The song is titled “Fireworks,” and is a hypnotic indie single that introduces the emerging talent with a subtle grace to the world.

A sonic display of the coexistence of beauty and tragedy, “Fireworks” is the first milestone for Lux Beauregard, with a song that reflects the human journey through the deepest emotionality and the highest musicality one could dream of for a debut single. Her voice will transport anyone who listens to it to a parallel universe where sadness, joy, grief, and celebration walk hand in hand, tackling life’s essence in just one song.

This past year having been incredibly painful, seeing the world literally on fire, Lux imagined a song that portrayed the complex feelings that arise when good things are also happening in the midst of atrocity.

“You can fall in love while the world is falling apart, though. Somehow, those emotions can exist together. I wanted to make a song that expressed that idea and sounded both as heartbroken and hopeful as 2020 has made me feel.”

Soulful, cinematic, and atmospheric, Lux loves a huge, lush, ethereal sound, sitting at the intersection between indie pop, chamber pop and baroque pop.

Inspired by Renaissance and Rococo paintings, Lux’s synesthesia plays an active part in her creative process, with often a piece of art or a color palette in mind that looks how the song sounds in her head, guiding the whole process. Literature also plays a big role in fueling her creativity, as her grandmother was a librarian who influenced the way Beauregard developed characters and arcs for her music, and probably explains why she felt the impulse to write in the first place.

“Fireworks” is a poetic exploration of love amidst the chaotic world we live in, and beautifully exposes Lux Beauregard’s undeniable talent to the world for the very first time.

A new indie queen is born, and she is confidently starting this new decade with a song that will undoubtedly help cement her rise as one of the most promising indie artists of our new era.

Meek Mill Draws Mixed Reactions With Drill Take on Nico & Vinz’s “Am I Wrong”

Meek Mill has released a couple of songs that leaked online recently, giving fans a proper way to hear the tracks after they popped up over the weekend. “Philly Heathens” has been praised for its attention to street culture and youth affected by violence, but his other new album, “Am I Wrong,” has received a much more divided response.

“Philly Heathens” has been praised for its lyrics about street culture and the young people who get caught up in violence. “Am I Wrong,” however, takes a vastly different approach, remixing the song of the same name by Nico & Vinz as a drill centric interpolation.

“Am I Wrong” is now 12 years old, and its connection to the EDM sound of the time makes it especially recognizable to those who grew up with it. So Meek’s take is built on a familiar musical reference, but the response has been far from universally complimentary. A lot of the criticism has been directed at the hook. The production has also been called dated, but the track was leaked, which may explain its sound. But the strongest reactions have focused on Meek’s chorus vocals.

Some of the responses have been good, though. Some listeners felt the track was a throwback to the blog era, while others thought the criticism targeted almost entirely the hook, not the song as a whole. One Reddit commenter wrote that the track was good, but the chorus was bad, suggesting that Meek’s performance on the rest of the song was better than the reception to the hook may suggest.

The different reactions demonstrate the contrast between Meek’s two new leaks. “Philly Heathens” has resonated with audiences for its subject matter, while “Am I Wrong” has sparked discussion due to its interpolation and vocal approach.

Both songs are now officially available on YouTube so that fans can decide for themselves. The response to “Am I Wrong” shows how difficult it is to reinterpret a well known song, especially when a recognizable hook becomes the centerpiece of the new version

Drake Joins Karol G in Houston for First Live Performance of “Ahi”

Drake made a surprise appearance in Houston this weekend, joining Karol G on stage for the first-ever live performance of their collaboration, “Ahi.”
The surprise appearance took place during Karol G’s show in Houston, where Drake jumped out from the bottom of the stage to perform the song with her. “Ahi” is the latest from Karol G’s project No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto, and the Houston show marked the first time the pair had performed the collaboration together on stage.

Drake made his entrance to a loud reception from the crowd. The rapper popped out from under the stage, bowed to Karol G, hugged her, and launched into their collaboration. With “Ahi,” the performance was not over. Drake stayed on stage and carried on with the set, performing “Janice STFU” and “One Dance” and giving the Houston crowd a long set from the Canadian rapper.

The collaboration also sparked speculation about Drake’s upcoming music. A rumor started that Karol G was one of the collaborators on the project, along with Molly Santana and Future, days before ICEMAN is expected to drop. Future and Molly Santana were among the names on the rumored list, and Future ended up on “Run To Atlanta.”

Drake’s Houston appearance comes as he continues to promote music outside the traditional album release cycle. He released FOMO, a visual YouTube project featuring visuals for several songs from Habibti and Maid Of Honor nearly two weeks ago. The project also featured a couple of unreleased songs, including new material with Yeat and new unreleased music with Don Toliver.

Drake and Don Toliver have also dropped a remix of Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas.” The remix has recently sparked speculation about the artists after re uploaded visuals allegedly erased all footage of Langley.

But the Houston show shifted the focus back to Drake and Karol G. The surprise appearance turned the stop into the first live showcase of “Ahi” for the audience, while Drake’s renditions of “Janice STFU” and “One Dance” extended his surprise time onstage. It also gave fans their first chance to see the two artists perform their collaboration together, adding a live chapter to the release of “Ahi. “
