Sub Urban – Mascara (Official Music Video)

Sub Urban, hailing from New York State, is known for his dark, theatrical worldview and distinctive style.

With a unique background—his father is French-Canadian and his mother is from Taiwan—his latest work is an ambitious piece that fuses alternative pop at its core with a dreamlike soundscape and raw emotional intensity.

The track included on the album “If Nevermore,” though only 2 minutes and 16 seconds long, portrays heavy themes such as betrayal and psychological collapse, expressed through his signature warped melodies.

Created over a lengthy production period from 2019 to 2024, the work was released in April 2025 alongside a music video directed by Sterling Larose.

It’s a song I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who connects with dark, melancholic moods.

A beautiful masterpiece where a wistful singing voice intersects with the refined melodies of jazz-pop.

This song by Icelandic artist Laufey portrays the moment of love as if opening the door to one’s heart, marking a new step for her after winning a Grammy for her album ‘Bewitched.’ Her true strength lies in weaving a contemporary pop sensibility into a foundation of classical and jazz training.

With a background of a Chinese mother who is a violinist, she has been strongly influenced by Ella Fitzgerald and Chet Baker, and her uniquely sophisticated musicality shines throughout this work.
