Ranna Royce drops her latest music video, “Annabelle”

Ranna Royce

Ranna Royce’s latest music video, “Annabelle,” has left fans and critics alike in awe of her artistic prowess. Ranna takes her audience on a kaleidoscopic journey into her inner pandemonium in a cinematic spectacle that could rival the opening credits of an American Horror Story series starring Audrey Hepburn.

The “Annabelle” music video is a haunting and surreal narrative, unmasking Ranna’s dark and captivating alter ego. As the visual unfolds, it becomes evident that Ranna has delved deep into her creative wellspring, producing a work of art that demands your attention from the first frame to the last.

Guiding this descent into madness is none other than Grammy-winning producer Jared Lee Gosselin, renowned for his work with Velvet Revolver, Zappa, Sublime with Rome, Darryl McDaniels of Run-DMC, and Serj Tankian of System of a Down. Gosselin’s contribution to “Annabelle” is nothing short of menacing, perfectly complementing Ranna’s pilgrimage to the brink of sanity.

The video is a dark, twisted masterpiece, produced and directed by the dynamic duo Izzy and Kiandra Jade, who capture Ranna’s edgy Old Hollywood aura through the lens of a creepy, Tim Burton-esque prism. The result is an unsettling and captivating visual experience, much like a nightmarish dreamscape coming to life.

Yes, that’s me.”

“Annabelle” is a masterpiece that will leave you mesmerized and craving more. Ranna Royce has once again proven herself a true artist, unafraid to push the boundaries of creativity and take her audience through the depths of her mind.

My Friend Evonne,” the newest single by singer-songwriter Mick J. Clark, pulled from his sixth album, ‘Pole Position,’ is a heartfelt tribute to friendship.

Starchild’s “PG-13” is a love letter to teenage romance

Starchild - Honk

If you’ve ever had a sweet crush that made your heart feel like it was on a trampoline, “PG-13” will resonate with you most awesomely. Starchild, the queer dance punk musician and poet from Williamsburg, VA, swaps out distortion and misery for something softer, sunnier, and just as emotionally potent on this indie pop reggae gem.

“PG-13” is a cacophony of butterflies-in-the-stomach innocence seen through a rainbow-tinted lens. With lax reggae grooves underneath airy pop melodies, the tune emits a nostalgic warmth. It is the musical equivalent of doodling hearts in the margins of your notebook when you should be working on your homework, daydreaming about somebody who makes you feel like everything out of your imagination becomes suddenly electrified.

“PG-13” dances into your ears with an irresistible, frolicsome charm that epitomizes the essence of summer break in song. Starchild’s self-assured lyrical exposure is a breath of fresh air. Inspired by the cutest girl Starchild has ever seen, it cut the preamble from an unbridled rush of giddy, unfiltered emotion. The voice is earnest, a little breathless, and completely real, bringing a tender specificity that strikes home, especially for queer listeners who very rarely hear their first crushes celebrated in such an open and joyful manner.

It’s a taut song, and the reggae undertow gives it an easy lilt and confidence that grounds things just the right way. It’s that mandate of lightness and depth, a musical tightrope that Starchild easily walks. “PG-13” doubles down on the awkwardness, the shine, and the exposure of first feelings, and in so doing, it lodges itself directly in your heart. It’s both an homage and an innovation, a celebration of queer joy, innocence or ignorance, and the power of seeing someone and feeling like you’re feeling everything at once. And in a world that often rushes right past the R-rated material, “PG-13” reminds us that the true magic is sometimes in the blush rather than the smooch. And Starchild nails that magic.
