We’ve got less than a month until Nashville’s Buick Audra releases her latest, self-produced, full length project, titled ADULT CHILD. While we wait for that genius, the newest single off that album, “It All Belonged to Me,” and its accompanying video are now available. She sings the song with a strength in the vocals and conviction in each lyric. The track itself was written to answer a question Buick Audra is often asked, if she ever returns to Miami, where she grew up.

It is no surprise that FOX’s “New Girl” was a fast and easy television hit. With its fun storyline, quirky one-liners, and handsome young cast, it infiltrated the hearts of many—and left a legacy that has people quoting it back and forth into infinity. Jess, Winston, Coach, and Nick were all amazing gems, but we have to give the funny bone award to Schmidt, if there were such a thing, of course. His quick jokes, his awkward sincerity, and his weird mannerisms always had us silent giggling.

You are in for a treat with this five minute and nine second track from Los Angeles native Marina Sakimoto’s rock project Shunkan. It begins at a bit of a trudge, but the composition becomes lighter, more encouraging as it progresses. It is equally hopeful, tragic, and contemplative, full of thoughts many of us have had. Audibly, it is both dark and light, playing with the emotional turbulence of her inner thoughts and, in turn, the listener’s inner thoughts and critiques.
