Dancing On The Wall by Muna

MUNA’s fourth studio effort, Dancing On The Wall, is a shimmering, synth-drenched masterpiece that proves being well-adjusted is overrated but being well-produced is mandatory. Emerging from the glitter-cannon blast of their 2022 self-titled record, the trio has returned with a “pop world built with teeth,” trading some of their previous optimism for a deliciously anxious […]

This French-American duo manages to take the “less is more” philosophy and turn it into “less is actually everything,” delivering a record that inspires you to hunt down a […]

Another Country by Cindy
