In her latest single, Leeds' Clare Kelly  concerns the pre-lockdown situation of many people in agglomerations - the crippling feeling of being alone in the masses.

Story Release Date: June 25, 2021 Label: AWAL Format: Digital Length: 09:57 Genre: Revenge Pop Origin: Buffalo , New York , USA I don't often quote the press kit, but this time I think that I can't help. "When you're queer, everybody wants your sob story. With "S.O.B. Story", non-binary Alt-Pop and Hip-Hop artist Medusa asks: What if we're not sad?" "S.O.B. Story" is a three-track EP by Buffalo's artist Medusa (they/them), featuring guest appearances by way2wavybaby (she/her), and Overflow (they/them). It is a powerful release doing away with the prejudice that queer identity is directly connected to suffering. Instead, "S.O.B. Story" is a self-confident release conveying a message for cis- and straight allies: don't express pity, and show support instead. "S.O.B. Story" is a loud release. Medusa and their guests Overflow and way2wavybaby do use their inside voices when si...

Picture Credit: DominicoArtist   DominicoArtist - Karma's not your Friend Release Date: May 26, 2021 Length: 02:46 Genre: Indie Pop / Alternative Pop Origin: New York, New York , USA We all have met those people spreading nothing but negativity, going their way, selfishly without looking to either side. And also, we most likely had all had friends like this - had. Sometimes, it is the best for your own good to cancel those beings from our lives and wait for karma to give them what they deserve.

Almost sixty years later, her grand-daughter Tinker implemented the song's chorus to the intro of 'Your Loss' and successfully proves that she has inherited her gandmother's musical talent. 'Your Loss' is a powerful and deep Soul song about missed opportunities in life, about toxicity, and about empowerment.
