Florida is the Sunshine State, but its southern tip has continually proven to be a hive for the dark and morbid. Despite all of the palm trees, shimmering sands, and omnipresent heat of the sun, goth culture has long pervaded Miami in a manner more befitting a depressed English seaside town in the ’80s.
There is no denying Luisa Maria Güell has an angelic voice. Singing mainly love songs, often backed by the drama of a big-band sound, she is an idol among Spanish speakers. Her back catalogue shows a diverse spectrum of influences, from tango to country and western all the way through…
It would be difficult to overstate Salt-N-Pepa’s significance for many of today’s biggest artists. Beyoncé could never have sung “Can you lick my Skittles/It’s the sweetest in the middle” if Salt-N-Pepa hadn’t rapped “Felt it in my hips so I dipped back to my bag of tricks…/Lick him like a…

Miami-based artist and musician Adel Souto has been toiling away in different forms of artistic expression the last few decades while fine-tuning his industrial leanings through his band, 156. “In 2012, I was managing a tattoo studio in Manhattan, and there were a lot of bones around, as decorative curios,”…
A perhaps vain attempt to clear John Mayer’s name of a brief list of charges
The 1990s was perhaps the last great decade to be a woman in the music industry. That’s not to say we don’t have amazing women making music now — we do. But the ’90s gave us the riot grrrl, Lilith Fair, and a plethora of female-fronted acts. Today,…

In case you’re in a heat-induced stupor, yesterday was 8/08 — meaning August 8, but also 808 Day, a celebration of the electronic drum machine. You know, the one that Future and Jay-Z have shouted out in lyrics, the one countless other artists have used to make mainstream pop, R&B,…

A summary of the Broward rapper’s hits and misses ahead of his August 10 show in Coral Gables.
Guns N’ Roses “Welcome to the Jungle” is an ode to the City of Angels, where the spotlight can burn those who aren’t careful. But the song might as well be about Miami, a city where if the shady characters don’t get you, the alligators will. Feel free to sing…
