Psycho, We Will “Never Forget U”

New releases from Liquid Ritual are practically guaranteed to be epic. The label's recent release of "Never Forget U" by Psycho further proves this fact to be true. This newest song is a dreamy blend of UK garage and breakbeat structures wrapped up in wave music's emotional undercurrent. All together, Psycho delivers a tranquil, low-tempo wavy treat that is perfect for this time of year--or any time of year, really. Find the new song on Spotify, below. "Never Forget U" feels like the descent into fall that we experience here in upstate New York.

Cherry Lena Weaves Together Darkness & Feminine Rage in “EDGE”

Canadian alternative pop artist, Cherry Lena, just released a new single: "EDGE". Touching on emotional themes like loneliness and isolation, this song is imbued with dark feminine energy and feminine rage. It also shows off the artist's rich vocals as well as her unique blend of drum 'n' bass beats and hypnotic dark pop tropes. Check it out: https://open.spotify.com/track/2uhtmKLHFHdf3K0NRWT1HE?si=33b6ddb822f94187 While this song doesn't quite emanate the same kind of "dark feminine"/"villain era" energy as some other tracks we've recently covered, it does lean into a specific side of 'bad bitch' behavior: inner strength and relentless self-care.
