Sophia Lucia’s Remarkable Self-Titled Debut Album Out Soon

Thomas

Sophia Lucia, the Chicago-born but Paris-based artist like no other, is set to release her self-titled debut album, Sophia Lucia, on the 16th of December. Having gotten her start in music at around eight years old, Sophia Lucia has had music running through her veins and is finally letting the world hear it. The lead single off of her debut album will be “Chan’s House” but I think she will really have listeners screaming her name after listening to “Pizza Place Weekdays.”

The Real J Israel Releases New Holiday Single “Be Grateful (Give Thanks)”

Carmen Lees-Green

Atlanta-based R&B artist known as The Real J Israel recently released a single celebrating the holiday season entitled “Be Grateful (Give Thanks)” on November 25th. The Real J Israel made his debut in 2019 with the release of his single, “Freaky Tonight,” and things have only been going up for this emerging artist. This is the first holiday song released by The Real J Israel but it sounds like it could soon be an instant classic.

“This song is really close to me. As a young boy we would visit Anny/Grandma for the holidays and every visit she would have me sit at the piano with my dad and sing to her while she played. ‘Be Grateful (Give Thanks)’ brings back those memories and reminds us of the times that we need to appreciate” – The Real J Israel

The Real J Israel got his start singing gospel music in churches but shifted to R&B music when he launched his solo career. Any listener can still clearly hear his gospel influences on his new music and that is especially evident on “Be Grate..

GL Chats: The Mad Game

Following in the wake of their newest EP, Player One, we had a chance to chat with Sudo from The Mad Game to find out what’s what.

HY: Do you have any controversial music opinions?

How can one even have a controversial musical opinion? There are times that music videos have been called controversial because of what they depict, even some lyrics that are claimed to incite violence, but that doesn’t make sense to us. It’s artistic expression. No one started a war with music or killed the ocean with a music spill. Those who find controversy in music really should just learn to use the off switch or skip button. Real controversy lies elsewhere, in areas of society that have massive, real-world impacts on everyone’s lives.

HY: What is your current album/song of the year?

We don’t have one. We really don’t spend much time listening to music. After all, we spend a lot of time making it and silence can be rather golden. We search do search for any particularly interesting tracks and songs..

Know Them Better: David Hicks

Carmen Lees-Green

Photographer David Hicks has a global eye for common experience. If you’ve not seen the work of this singular photographer, now is as good a time as any to check him out. A great place to start is with his captivating images from the streets of Buenos Aires, which focus on Tango dancers and musicians.

“This very sexual dance you see now, was born out of the reality for men in those old days,” explains Hicks, ““The Tango, a now-popular dance between a man and a woman, started in it’s current form in the mid 1800s, after a massive migration to Argentina, mostly by men. Because men outnumbered women by quite some number, the only way for a man to get close to a woman was via a brothel or by dance. The men practiced together, as you’d have to be a great dancer to get a woman’s attention.”

Hicks’ equally fascinating photos taken in Cuba are also well worth a look. You can see them here. “In Cuba,” says Hicks, “they live for their music. It’s everything to them, and they’re very good at i..
