Beyond the Boys’ Club: Brittney Slayes of Unleash the Archers
Beyond the Boys’ Club is a monthly column from journalist and radio host Anne Erickson, focusing on women in the heavy music genres, as they offer their perspectives on the music industry and discuss their personal experiences. This month’s piece features an interview with Brittney Slayes of Unleash the Archers. Canadian power-metal band Unleash the Archers present a hard-charging sound coupled with creative songwriting and storytelling. Early in their career, the band was often lumped into the symphonic metal genre, simply because they have a female vocalist, but they’re really straight-ahead power metal act, with vocalist Brittney Slayes roaring from song to song. Unleash the Archers recently released a new album, Abyss, featuring stunning guitars and Slayes’ powerful vocals. Slayes chec...
Obama Gives Drake His Blessing to Play Him in a Movie
Barack Obama just turned 59 years old, but he’s already lived one hell of a life. Remember when he won the Nobel Peace Prize, was nominated for an Oscar, hung out with celebrities like Beyonce and JAY-Z, and, duh, was the US President for eight historic years? A man like that is bound to be immortalized in film more than once. So Obama has spared casting directors the stress by officially giving Drake his blessing to portray him in a movie. That coveted seal of approval was revealed during Obama’s recent interview on 360 With Speedy Morman. After being asked by the Complex News host about the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the drawn-out 2020 election, and his opinion on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the 44th POTUS was given some time to riff on more light-hearted topics. That’s when Morman pose...
Meg Thee Stallion Went Hard On ‘Good News,’ But It’s Only A Glimpse Into What She’s Capable Of
Source: Apple Music / Apple Music Let’s go back to Good News Friday (Nov. 20) and it’s time to listen to the album we’ve all been patiently waiting for. My coworkers, men, can’t stop talking about Meg Thee Stallion‘s official debut. Upon pressing play, you’ll understand immediately that although Good News can be a polarizing project, it definitively positions Black women as a community of power in every bar uttered. Hot Girl Meg has given us the indisputable commandments of a bad b*tch, putting f*ck boys all over the nation on notice. As a Black woman, myself, I feel captivated by the Houston Hottie for countless reasons. Women who look like us are always stereotyped, disrespected, and pigeonholed — and historically, Black women of Meg’s height and size have been mocked even more so. But M...
