Power can be everything a person dreams of having, yet it can also become the very thing that changes them. On “What’s Power?”, released on June 13, 2026, Koine Poetry explores the complicated relationship between ambition, authority, and spiritual corruption, raising uncomfortable questions about what happens when someone finally reaches a position of influence. What makes the song interesting is its confrontation with the illusion of godhood. At one point, Koine Poetry challenges someone who appears to believe they are a god.

Initially consumed by the cruelty of time and the pain of being left behind, Scarlett began considering loss from another perspective. Instead of asking how…

Previously released singles have been met with critical acclaim from CBC’s Q, Exclaim! and Sirius XM. Big Time emerged during a period when Teagan deliberately stepped back from her music career and began reflecting on a decade spent struggling…

Ahead of their upcoming fourth studio album’s 2027 arrival, New York’s Earthquake Lights share “Mr. Always-What-He-Had-To-Be,” a confident, brooding new single that turns psychedelic alt-rock swagger into a character study of arrogance, narcissism and questionable wisdom. Inspired in part by the unruly spirit of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, the track inhabits the mind of a self-described artist whose certainty in his own worldview is as compelling as it is misguided. The song began with a handful of chords the band initially considered disposable. Once they played them together, however, the feeling proved too good to abandon. The confidence…
