For the independent R&B, hip-hop, pop and dance artist, the EP represents a return after years of personal challenges, music-industry controversies and obstacles that she says have tested her determination to continue building her career. “I didn’t quit. I was delayed. Now I’m BACK OUTSIDE,” says Wadena. “I’ve been through a lot, but I’m still here, I’m still creating and I’m hungry for this moment.” WADENA AND ALICIA KEYS: “I WOULD RATHER SIT DOWN AND TALK” Wadena is also choosing this moment to speak publicl...

  José Quervo is a Puerto Rican-born, New Orleans-raised R&B singer-songwriter whose new album Aqua Man finds beauty on the other side of mortality. Shaped by his survival of Stage 4 cancer, what could have been a final statement became an album about getting another chance, learning how to receive it, and loving without reservation. Produced by 3X Grammy-winning producer Deezle , the 13-track project lives somewhere between R&B sensuality and atmospheric immersion, with 808s rumbling beneath hypnotic basslines and electric guitars flickering through the arrangements like light through water. Every song moves with the fluid physicality of a man who trained as a dancer, and water runs through this record as both theme and texture, making Aqua Man an unforgettable musical catharsis.  In collaboration with Nov Did It and super producer Deezle, Quervo delivers a raw, intoxicating soundscape inspired by icons like Michael Jackson, The Weeknd, and Bad Bunny. Blendi...

  When Ashlee Ray published her first book, Manifest 22, she gave readers a 22-day framework for turning desire into reality. It was a roadmap built from her own experience — a woman who had climbed from foster care in Little Rock, Arkansas to the top of the media industry, then watched everything she built come apart, and found her way back through intention, ritual, and a faith in the alignment of things most people cannot see. That book changed lives. It also left something unsaid. The Manifest 22 Transit Guidebook, releasing June 5 and available now for pre-order exclusively at mamiwataorganics.com , is the something unsaid. This Is Not a Follow-Up. It’s a Reckoning. The first book taught the system. This one lives inside it. The Transit Guidebook was written during one of the most disruptive astrological cycles of Ashlee’s life — the years Uranus moved through Taurus, dismantling the material foundations of her world. Ashlee did not write about this transit from the safet...
