Travis Scott: “See You Guys In 2021 In Utopia”

Despite what Chase B says, it looks like Travis Scott is inviting us all to Utopia as part of his next studio album release.

The Houston-born rap artist has been having arguably the best year of his career, and he hasn’t even released an album. Commercially, it is worth debating that nobody has more power than Travis Scott, who has collaborated with major brands like McDonald’s, Land Rover, Nike, and more. When his name is attached to a product, it’s basically guaranteed to sell out.

On the music front, things haven’t been too shabby either as, in the last twelve months, La Flame has earned three #1 records. After the debut of “FRANCHISE” at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, Travis promised that he would send radio hosts and DJs a special little something, and it has just arrived for some.

A note, which was sent to DJs around the country, reads: “Thank you for always rocking with me and the whole cactus gang. Your support is beyond appreciated and doesn’t go unnoticed. Hope you and your families are staying safe in these times and I look forward to going up with you once everything is back. Thank you again! For all of the support and see you guys in 2021 in Utopia!!”

That last bit seems to confirm that Travis Scott’s next album, presumably titled Utopia, will arrive next year. It makes sense because, once everything is back to a semblance of whatever “normal” is, people will want to rage to their heart’s desire.

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”

Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.

“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.

But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
