Let's Hear it for the Skinny Boy.
Singer/Songwriter Myylo releases new Body Positive Anthem

Skinny Boys is a body positivity anthem made for the boys who don't have and don't need to have Thor's abs, Bat Man's pecs, or Aquaman's shoulders to love themselves. Self-love has been a part of the cultural zeitgeist for some time with artists like Lizzo and Beyoncé urging women to love their flawless selves. Skinny Boys follows in this lineage by rejecting the need to create the ideal male body and, instead, to worship the beautiful body you're already in.

Q2 Songs of the Week

Eloquent and lyrical, Indonesian-American singer songwriter Kai Mata releases her new single ‘So Hard’ ready to expand her storytelling style to a new audience. As she herself states "This song is a blend of sassy, serious, satirical, and sexy. It is every flavor of the rainbow".

This is the song that grabbed our attention immediately. Primme is exciting and interesting as an artist and 'InMyPrimme' is  a slapper of a song. The track is an anthem of life and love and energy. It’s a call to action and a rally cry all at once. You'll be happy you listened.
