We’re back with new RGV music to share with you. There’s intoxicating hip-hop and R&B, scenic music videos, and the swooning debut of a sibling folk trio.

Jay Sol - No Love

Jay Sol has the voice, the moves, and the video crew to make one hell of a tipsy r&b production.

Chio - Let me down

Chio is known for his soaring pop sound of his Boiz group. Now, his solo debut takes a darker turn with intoxicating textures while keeping all his pop and hip-hop bliss intact.

Eric Echo - Bat Outta Hell

What a hurricane of rock! Bluesy riffs, stern vocals, and a video that’s a tribute to the fun and intensity of the studio.

Noimnotwhite - Nostalgia

The floating feel of this downsized cloud-rap trip coincidentally makes this one of Jay Barrera’s most memorable songs.

Mr. Q - perks of being a hopeless romantic

The folk debut single from this sibling trio is alluring with how unapologetically quixotic and swooning it is.

Pinky Swear - 24

Pinky Swear returns from their hiatus with an aural shift from their usual indie rock malaise to a blurry vignette of somber beauty.

Fronterawave - Hola y Adios (Veronique Medrano remix)

Charlie Vela’s self-described “90’s dream pop” remix of Veronique Medrano’s 2019 Tejano bop shows that his frontera remix premise is still fresh with expansion and novelty.

matt nudes. - i’m sitting on a bench in farhampton

This soulful pop ballad with a faded veneer pairs nicely with a video of humble good times from the familiar locale of SPI and Bill Schupp Park.

Garden Seeds - Vampire Mirror

There’s a strong outsider/lo-fi element to this album that adds so much vulnerability. The scattershot styles — from emo, to dark wave, and indie pop — are held together by the shared moods of pain and passion.

Milagros - Pendejos

Her latest single is set to waves, dunes, and a sunset. It’s her most scenic video for her most scenic song.

Geminii - COMMONSTAGE performance

With decades of live experience between this duo, they grace the COMMONSTAGE series with their distinct brand of Latin-pop and electronica. There’s the rockin’ collaboration of “Conmigo Estás Bien,” the burning balladry of “Let Me Go,” and the dance floor drama of “Avísame.”
