Your new album Thou Art That is beautiful. What was the inspiration behind the title? Thank you. The inspiration behind the title was from a painting I made of a palm tree. I titled the painting Tat Tvam Asi. It’s Sanskrit. It is from the Upanishad. It is a declaration, “Thou At That”. It is

Funky and full of a springiness that isn’t as common in rock as it is in contemporary R&B and some crossover jazz nowadays, the beats that come pouring out of the stereo speakers in “Give It Up,” the new single from Bencoolen, are the most stunning element that this track has to offer, no question

Songs composed for a soundtrack don’t always translate as well on their own as they do within the context of a complete film, but in the case of Hooked Like Helen’s “Liar,” the new single (and music video) from this Ohio-based pop duo is just as fetching in either scenario.

The millennial hip-hop fan has a higher standard that previous generations had, and in this
