Uzi Freyja turns up the heat with “Medusa”
Uzi Freyja doesn’t make music, exactly; she conjures spells. And her new single, “Medusa,” has something loud, raw, and unrelenting. The emerging Cameroonian rapper collaborates with the French synth wave/EBM producer Carbon Killer for a sonorous jab that lands like a riot and lingers like a myth.
Blending electro-punk aggression and industrial rap grit, “Medusa” is full-force sonic g force above party rap. Think Arca’s glitchy unease, the political venom of Moor Mother, with a sprinkle of Doja Cat‘s flamboyant bite, all funneled through Uzi‘s electric voice. Her verses cut through Carbon Killer’s dystopian beats like a razor, demanding your attention with every bar. Music for the margins, stage, and underground, and it bites.
The track is a ritual and a rebellion. “Medusa” crams in a high-voltage blend of searing synths, mechanical drums, and Uzi‘s mumble-rap-inducing cadence at a hair’s breadth under four minutes. It’s confrontational. It’s magnetic. It doesn’t seek your attention but insists upon it. And lyrics that channel the fury and power of the mythical gorgon herself: Uzi flips the script on becoming a victim in the classic sense, turning the monster into the muse.
If ever this track was going to make a comeback, it’s now. With the thrilling news that Uzi Freyja will play every date of Noga Erez’s forthcoming European tour, “Medusa” is set to be heard by more ears than ever and rattle more stages. This is more than a song, and it’s an anthem for all who feel too loud, too different, too much. And in a world where that fire is much too frequently made to flicker, Uzi Freyja is here to fan the flames.
Raw, defiant, and singularly modern, “Medusa” is evidence that Uzi Freyja is not merely next when it comes to the future of rap; she is actively helping to build it from the ground up. Prepare to feel it in your bones.

Lana Crow turns challenges into a celebration with “Laugh With You”
“Laugh With You,” the latest single from Lana Crow, is a sincere rallying cry to embrace life in all its messy, beautiful mess. In the song, indie pop and alt-pop combine to deliver an emotional blow that feels both personal and universal.
“Laugh With You” feels like an instant connection, and Crow is telling you stories of hard times with a cozy, knowing smile. This song is as much about struggle as it is about how strong you are. It serves as a reminder that these struggles are simply what give us the strength to keep going, even when life is tough.
Crow encourages people to welcome them, create happiness in the cracks, and laugh even as the world gets heavy. The result is a song that delicately nudges you to love and embrace yourself. It is an anthem for anyone experiencing tough times who refuses to give up hope. Lana Crow continues to demonstrate her songwriting skills, both musically pleasing and emotionally rich, with “Laugh With You.”
It’s a reminder that it’s how we respond to tough times, rather than how they affect us, that’s key. With this song, not only does Crow provide us with music, but she also lets us know that sometimes a laugh is what we need to remember that there is always something to smile about and that, even when it feels like life has waged war against you, laughter can still be found.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”
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.
