#ad The daughter of a singing mother and a rapping father, she recorded her first song at the tender age of 9 and got her chops performing on Atlanta’s underground circuit in her teens, going from the teenage girl who had to finesse to get on a show’s line-up to becoming an in-demand local star.

There are safe ways to choke someone. With degradation, there’s a person-to-person etiquette to consider: Where to spit? How much viscosity? Where to slap? How much intensity? @isabellalovestory seems to know the answers intrinsically. That's why we included “Tacon” on our Songs You Need Playlist. Link in bio to listen. On “Tacon,” (Spanish for “heel,”) Lovestory adopts the role of an uber-dominatrix, sweepingly confident in her skills and station. “Tell me how my heel feels in your mouth (plastic, leather, diabolical),” she coos in Spanish as 8-bit synths chime next to shuddering reggaeton drums. ✍🏽 @jjjoorrddaannn

One could listen to all of @lucreciadalt’s new album '¡Ay!' and marvel at the beauty of Dalt’s unearthly arrangements without knowing anything about its concept, but an understanding of the strange story behind the sound makes the music even more compelling. The album tells the tale of Preta, an extraterrestrial, feminine consciousness who actualizes herself as a creature composed of cosmic dandruff in order to visit Earth. For a deeper understanding of the work, The Colombian-born, Berlin-based sound sorceress broke the record down for The FADER, track by track. ✍🏼 @hamiltonthemixtape Visit the FADER website for the full breakdown.
