Jean Dawson, an artist who grew up between San Diego and Tijuana brought together multiple different genres on his latest album Glimmer of God. The album brings in vibes from West Coast Hip Hop, Punk, British New Wave, and even some 80’s esc synthwave. If you are a fan of The Weeknd, The 1975, or even Tory Lanez in his Alone at Prom era, this album is the perfect pick for you.

The opening track Darlin’ starts off with these psychedelic rock esc guitar riffs before quickly transitioning into an R&B style beat before with another switch about halfway through the song into a beat strung along by a heavy hitting baseline similar to those you’d hear in a Thundercat song. This first track sets up the versatility and diversity this album brings.

On October 28, 2024 Tyler the Creator dropped his eighth studio album called “CHROMAKOPIA” featuring fourteen songs with a multitude of guest artists. These songs, as with all of his music, offer a unique unapologetic tone. In my opinion, listening to Tyler the Creators new music solidified the idea for me that his music and his persona has redefined hiphop. 

Tyler the Creator first started out with a group called Odd Future back in 2009 then went into making his own music with his first studio album “Goblin”. In an interview conducted by the podcast Rap Radar in 2023, Tyler the Creator looks back on his debut album stating that although it was not his best work, it was more about the energy being different than what others were doing at the time.

Welcome, all, to the first edition of “Moose on the Loose!,” a brand new concert review and recap series exclusive to U92 the Moose. In this series, we’ll be delving into the world of shows in and around Morgantown that our staff attends, from local acts in basement shows to big-time bands up in neighboring areas like Wheeling and Pittsburgh. 

Our first entry to this series is the ever-wonderful MJ Lenderman and The Wind, the alt-country act from Asheville, NC playing live from Thunderbird Music Hall in Pittsburgh, PA on the night of October 29th. When Lenderman’s Manning Fireworks Tour was announced in July, it might have been the fastest purchase I have ever made. Not only was this my first opportunity to see him live since becoming a fan, but it was also Lenderman’s first show in Pittsburgh. That’s a recipe for a damn good time, and a damn good time it was.

Morgantown W.Va. – The now ranked seventh-ranked West Virginia Mountaineers (10-1-4) host the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers (3-9-2) on the spookiest night of the year.

West Virginia looks to avoid another scare like the one the Dukes of James Madison gave them in their last match where WVU drew 2-2.

Joelle Joanie Siwa of Dance Moms and Nickelodeon brand deal fame wanted 2024 to know that she’s a bad girl now. She ditched the “Boomerang,” JoJo-bow persona, songs under which, for the sake of parents, are THANKFULLY now distinguished on streaming services as “JoJo Siwa (Kids),” for a PG-13 redefinition of her career. Once you see her, it’s easy to see how. She debuted her new look on the iHeartRadio Music Awards red carpet, with her face dripped in black paint and body suit covered in glitter. It looks a little bit like she rolled around in the Nickelodeon slime that made her so famous, but not before slipping in some black dye.

I was wondering how out of all of the esteemed releases of 2024, Siwa’s debut EP Guilty Pleasure did not find its way into the U92 rotation. Was JoJo’s jarring persona actually masking a blossoming career of the next musical icon? As a “glass half full” person, I decided to take a listen to the 12-minute, 5-track EP while disregarding all that the crowd has told me to think about JoJo Siwa.
