On the eve of the release of her new album CHILDSTAR, Grace VanderWaal is talking about guilt. “[It’s] another thing that holds back important conversations is people’s personal guilt over something that should be a discussion. People do that too often. It strips any development of what could be a conversation between two people, and some things really should be talked about,” she tells EUPHORIA.

When listening to a song by Ashnikko, you are listening to something that almost requires that the lyrics be shouted at the top of your lungs. She makes music that is sexy, high-energy, and unapologetic. But Ashnikko is not just a talented pop artist; she is also brilliant and well-read, making her opinions blatantly clear in her music. Her new single, “Itty Bitty,” is just as sexy and queer as her previous singles and twice as fearless.

I think about The All-American Rejects as the anthem of my teen years, but the truth is that “Swing, Swing,” the song that I most associate them with, came out when I was nine years old. “Dirty Little Secret” when I was twelve, and finally, “It Gives You Hell” when I was fifteen.

From the beginning, it was theorized that Charli XCX’s “Girl, So Confusing,” taken from her brand new album BRAT was a Lorde diss track. “People say we’re alike/ they say we have the same hair/ we talk about making music/ but I don’t know if it’s honest” she sings, referencing a peer in the industry who she finds herself comparing and competing with. A diss track would have been fascinating. But what it has turned into is much better.
