Read More »Single Review: Milquetoast & Co. “Hummingbirds”
While animated and presented in sepia as if to suggest an ancient quality not made clear to us in the song itself, the video for Milquetoast & Co.’s new single “Hummingbirds” is an imagistic treat that doesn’t deliver its eccentricities to us in limited doses. We’re brought into what feels …

One part hip-hop ballad, another part progressive R&B experiment, Christopher Watson’s “Truth Is” isn’t exactly the easiest of singles to categorize, but when taking a look at its music video, there’s no denying that its composer has a very stylish and appealing persona no matter what you call his sound. …
