Despite the two year absence, The McAllenite continued to listen and support RGV music. Here are some highlights from the past year, featuring a dream-pop surprise, a spirited tribute to Harajuku, and some jarring experimental music. It’s good to be back and we’re ready for 2025.
A recap of RGV singles so far this year (part 1). We got intoxicating art-pop, stimulating tech-house, a devastating Olivia Rodrigo cover, and more.
Some of the most distinguished RGV songs to put in our 2022 vault. These are the singles that made us dance, reflect, brood, and get fired up. There are magical indie soundscapes, a wide range of singer-songwriter bliss, and a cumbia anthem that took the RGV by storm.
An expansive jazz album with profound reflection on the crises of today, and the possibilities of the future.
Score: 9/10
