Snoop Dogg Revives Death Row Records with Charlie Bereal’s Retro R&B Vibes

Snoop Dogg

Snoop Dogg, who took ownership of Death Row Records in 2022, is on a mission to revive the iconic label. Originally home to legends like Dr. Dre, 2Pac, and Snoop himself, Death Row had been dormant for nearly two decades following legal troubles that culminated in bankruptcy in 2006 under former boss Suge Knight. Now, under Snoop’s leadership, the label is making a comeback in the ever-evolving hip-hop and R&B scene.

Snoop has signed several new artists, including Rhythm + Flow winner D Smoke, singer October London, and the legendary Tha Dogg Pound, who released their first album on the label in nearly thirty years. Adding to this dynamic roster, Snoop recently introduced R&B and gospel singer Charlie Bereal as the latest signee. The announcement, made on Instagram, has sparked a wave of excitement among fans.

Charlie Bereal, known for his soulful sound reminiscent of 1970s R&B, has garnered positive reactions from fans. “We need this kind of music again,” one user commented, while another noted, “Sounds a lot like The Stylistics.” However, some fans expressed nostalgia for Death Row’s original hip-hop roots, questioning the label’s shift towards R&B. “What happened to the real sound of Death Row?” asked one user.

Bereal, previously a member of the gospel group The Soul Seekers, released his debut solo album Testimony in 2017, followed by 11-11-11 in 2019. A talented multi-instrumentalist, he is primarily known for his guitar skills and is also a Grammy-nominated artist for his work on BJ the Chicago Kid’s track “Bring It On Home To Me.” His debut single with Death Row, “Never Gonna Take Away My Love,” is set to release on Friday, marking a new chapter in his career.

With Snoop Dogg at the helm, Death Row Records is poised to blend its legendary past with a fresh sound, and Charlie Bereal’s unique style might just be the key to bridging the gap.

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.
