Fox Nigon’s impact on the music has been magnificent; unquestionable even. The poignancy and heartfelt conviction with which he relays relatable narratives remain unrivaled. Throughout my life as a passionate music fan, I’ve had the honor of listening to artists who can hold a melody or two quite alright in their songs, but few can actually live out a song, tell a story through it, put the listener in the shoes of someone else in the same manner as Nigon…this is his favorite stamping ground.
“Adsum” is his third studio album; a 10-piece collection that is eclectic and versatile both sonically and lyrically. This album is leaning towards a genre-bending sound that blends pop, rock, and blues with electro sounds, vintage and classical stylings, and even reggae and jazzy specials for a wholesome listening experience.
Fox Nigon really does his best to push the genre boundaries and not limit himself to the type of music he provides here. The topics are also widespread and broad-ranging, ranging from climate change, wars, hope, love, and heartbreak to sensitive and equally imperative political issues!
“Good Vibes With You” is an electro-pop masterpiece that is transcendental, infused with a particularly strong dose of energy, and backed by a rewarding vocal presentation from Nigon. Through that irresistible chorus, you absolutely feel the vibrations with him. This track is one of the most upbeat and vibrant from the entire collection, and one that will get you dancing jubilantly with carefree abandon.
“Today’s The Day” starts with a delightfully charming guitar tone flanked by riffs before following a dance-pop route. Nigon’s delicious vocals ebb and flow through the enthralling electro-dance rhythms and grooves as he talks about a very vital subject: climate change. His message echoes the need for humanity to change by taking care of everything that surrounds us, lest we perish while we watch.
“Save the Bees” is a vintage collection that features a stripped-back intro before the mellow pop-rock elements take shape. Nigon then goes on to deliver a jaw-dropping vocal performance that is deep and emotional concerning the need to save the natural habitats of everything that surrounds if we are indeed serious about saving humanity and future generations.
In “Save the Bees,” the deeply impactful message is driven home with a seemingly sentimental chorus that comes from a personal place of hurt and great concern for the wellbeing of the environment.
“My Love Is True,” featuring the sensational MaryKat is a transcending pop-rock masterpiece delivered by an insecure male who is harboring skepticism about their lover’s loyalty despite there being no signs of anything to prove their doubts, or point of view. This is a case of borderline jealousy that has been delivered in a spirited and somewhat lighthearted tone, but it does not take away the impact of the relatable theme or that completely engrossing performance.
“No No No” is another dynamic tune that features a cinematic intro backed by crisp riffs before Fox breathes life into the sensitive lyrical narrative with his spine-tingling vocals, luring the listener in with those undeniable lead and backing vocal harmonies.
With the reggae stylings, “No No No” stays true to the reputation of reggae music for calling out societal injustices. In this refined delivery, Nigon calls out government manipulation and high-end corruption among those in power.
There is quite a great deal to enjoy from this all-around performance from someone who has continuously proved to be the master of his own craft.
If you are looking for music to inspire, entertain, and resonate with you; look no further than “Adsum” and you will forever be grateful.

Montreal-based pop sensation and LGBTQ activist Van Hechter is back with “Boy Problems,” a stunning new single. The track merges his signature upbeat charm with rare emotional depth. Hechter, known for hits like “Disco Brother,” “Hot Damn,” and “Love Elastic,” reveals a new side to his magnetic electro-pop personality, offering a message that is both radiant and raw.
At 4 minutes and 24 seconds, “BoyProblems” is a bilingual (French & English) eruption of glitter, melancholy, and empowerment. It’s built on irresistible synths, glossy production, and pulsing basslines. The song invites listeners into a world where heartbreak beats in rhythm with liberation. The melodies feel euphoric on the surface, yet are stained with a haunting vulnerability, proving that dancing and deep feeling can exist together.
At its core, the song is a manifesto about refusing to settle for half-love. Van delivers lyrics that make you sway, smile, and suddenly pause; the truth stings. If love isn’t loud, real, and fully given, he’d rather walk away. It’s a reminder wrapped in rhythm: loving yourself means refusing the small version of what you deserve.
Filled with Hechter’s signature humor, glamour, and optimism, “Boy Problems” is a club anthem and a soul-stirrer all at once. The bilingual lyrics expand its emotional reach. The track feels at home anywhere, from Parisian dance floors and New York rooftops to headphones on a bus or speakers at Pride.
This is a jam that makes you feel like you’re flying, free from pretense. It’s definitively dance-pop and unmistakably Van Hechter, though the smile has a real heartbeat underneath. Listeners will hear that signature flair; he’s still cheeky, stylish, and unapologetically queer. His artistry is simply sharpened with new emotional honesty. This is a growth moment, delivered with a wink and a synth hook.
“Boy Problems” is a significant step beyond a simple catchy single. It’s a toast to self-worth. A glittering rebellion against lukewarm love. A reminder that the dance floor can be a place to heal. This sonic centerpiece belongs on your playlist, and on your friends’ too.
Sometimes a song shows up like that friend who kicks open the door without knocking, grinning and saying, “get your shoes, we’re leaving.” “Tule Tule,” the new single from South Sudanese artist TR Craze featuring Jamaican-UK rapper Caine Marko, moves exactly like that. The track is bold and charged, carrying the weight of lived experience while stomping over a dark, menacing drill beat that feels built for the streets as much as the club.
TR Craze’s backstory reads like a movie script Hollywood studios would fight over. He was born in South Sudan, shaped by the trauma of civil war, and pushed into the harsh realities of refugee life. He literally survived the treacherous routes through Libya and across the Mediterranean Sea to reach Europe. This man distills survival into rhythm. On “Tule Tule,” you can feel that heart, that urgency, and that fire in his delivery, channelled into a raw, assertive drill performance that cuts through even if you don’t understand a single word of the opening verse. At its core, “Tule Tule” is a raw, assertive drill track that isn’t afraid to bare its teeth.
The word “Tule” comes from Nuer. It refers to youth games and the electric thrill of chasing something, whether that’s victory, joy, or destiny. TR Craze uses that spirit like a drumbeat beneath his voice. The choruses hit with a communal, call-and-response warmth but here that playfulness is flipped into a gritty, chant-like hook – “Tule Tule” – that feels like the rallying cry of a crew on the move. Even without translating the lyrics, the tone tells you everything. This is about motion, pursuit, celebration, and refusing to stay stuck in the past, all wrapped in an unapologetic, high-adrenaline atmosphere. Lyrically, the track leans into street life, dominance and crew loyalty, matching the tension in the beat.
Behind them, producer Kyxxx builds a dark, tense soundscape, stitching drill drums with Brazilian bounce and Bhangra-flavoured rhythmic elements that keep the track constantly on edge. The result is a gritty, energetic and unapologetic atmosphere that pulls you straight into their world.
Then Caine Marko slides in for the second verse, and the whole energy pivots into a sharp, swagger-heavy bounce. His flow is clean but gritty, confident and confrontational, shifting between braggadocio and sly charm.
“She knows I’m a wolf and I run the pack,” he starts, classic alpha talk, but delivered with a laid-back grin. “She come first like running track,” he continues, flipping between affection and athletic metaphors like a man who’s too used to moving fast.
Then he opens up the verse more: “Doing dirt and getting with a bitty, I only pretty… then back to the city. Got me some liquor then it got me some weed.” It’s lifestyle rap, but the reckless, unapologetic kind. It’s the messy, outside-at-night, live-in-the-moment vibe that balances TR Craze’s more grounded narrative. When he ends with “you going to hang with the gang,” the energy snaps into a group-hyped finale, a reminder that music like this isn’t meant to be consumed alone, underlining the crew-first loyalty at the heart of the record.
“Tule Tule” works because it blends worlds without softening its raw, street-hardened edge. It merges East African emotion, Caribbean-UK swagger, drill and hip-hop grit, Brazilian and Bhangra textures in Kyxxx’s production, diaspora storytelling, and a spirit of joy that refuses to be dimmed by pain.
Let “Tule Tule” run while you’re walking, cooking, texting, or plotting big dreams – or getting ready to step out with your crew.
