“ExtraL” hits the ground running as an unapologetic anthem of female empowerment, blending Jennie’s slick K-pop charisma with Doechii’s gritty, commanding rap prowess. From the jump, the track oozes confidence with its infectious hook – “Do my, do my ladies run this?” – a chant that doubles as both a question and a flex. Produced by Dem Jointz, the beat is a bass-heavy rollercoaster, minimalist enough to let the vocals shine but punchy enough to keep your head nodding. It’s the kind of song that feels tailor-made for strutting through life like you own it.

Writing about songs and albums across multiple genres, regardless of when they were released
A La Sala – Khruangbin
Khruangbin’s A La Sala feels like a sunlit road trip through a desert of the mind—minimalist, hypnotic, and effortlessly cool. The Texas trio—Laura Lee Ochoa (bass), Mark Speer (guitar), and Donald “DJ” Johnson (drums)—returns to their roots with this fourth studio album, stripping back the cosmic sprawl of 2020’s Mordechai for a tighter, more introspective groove. Clocking in at 12 tracks, A La Sala (Spanish for “to the room”) invites listeners into an intimate space where funk, surf rock, and global influences swirl like dust motes in a shaft of light.
Alligator Bites Never Heal – Doechii
