From Regrettes to Midtown

Also this week:

Print star Dove Armitage said of her Concernless EP, “I’m super excited. It feels like the feeling that I imagine women feel when they’re about to have a baby and you’ve been pregnant for too long. That’s the energy it’s been feeling like lately. Like, I just want to give birth to it already.”

In “Not Another DJ,” Somni said, “I was working on Gravity on and off over the course of about two years, from late 2020 to late 2022. The whole process was kind of like a therapy session for me — figuring out what you have to say and coming up with lyrics is a whole different process than making just instrumental music. I wanted to make an honest album that really reflected where I was in life and how I was feeling, and when you sit and just force yourself to write it can be surprising what comes out of you – a super cathartic process. I think I had a lot of stuff bottled up and I kind of unloaded all my fears and doubts and struggles into this thing so it’s a weird feeling to have it out in the world, on display for everyone to see.”
