She Writes Her Own Rules: Stunna Sandy and the Art of the Bad Gyal Anthem by NWO Sparrow
Bad B**** Music & Gold Dreams: The Rise of Stunna Sandy From the moment she laughed off my first question, “How does it feel to know you’re next?”, I knew this wasn’t just another interview. Most rising talents hope for the spotlight , Stunna Sandy commands it, with the casual magnetism of someone who’s already won. Her voice, soft but with Brooklyn bravado and Egyptian pride, didn’t pitch a dream, it narrated a takeover. By the time she casually mentioned “Make It Look Sexy” was only her third song ever, it hit me, I wasn’t just talking to a future star. I was talking to someone who’d already outgrown the word “rising.”

The Playlist That Got Me Through Heartbreak
The Playlist That Got Me Through Heartbreak They say music heals what words cannot, and I never fully understood that until my heart shattered one quiet October morning. The end wasn’t explosive—no screaming, no betrayal, just the slow, soul-bruising realization that love was no longer enough. One moment we were making weekend plans, and the next, he was packing a bag, saying, “I just don’t think we’re right anymore.”

Rikki La Rouge cover album of Willy Chirino songs “en Avenida de Willy Chirino”
this is Rikki La Rouge version of ‘s classic song Canta. It was released on Willy‘s 1993 album or 92 album South Beach. My version of is a flamenco one. I think it came out really well. My vocals were awesome, me playing the guitar on this song by the way and that’s me clapping in the background too. I hope that you enjoy what you’re here. This song was included on a cover album of Willy Chirino songs that I did called en Avenida de Willy Chirino or on Willy Chirino avenue. Recording this cover album of Willie Torino songs was a labor of love and a privilege to do so. The message of is just always stay positive and anything negative that comes your way. Just keep going it will always pass and just keep singing a happy tune.

Cayo Coco the video, the song, and the review
Grammy-nominated artist re-releases culturally significant single ‘Cayo Coco’ MIAMI, FL – In 2013, Miami-based artist Rikki La Rouge dropped an album called “San Antonio” through Interscope Digital Distribution and Universal Music Group that went on to be a first round nomination ballot album for the 57th Grammy Awards 1st round nomination ballot. She was on the ballot alongside artists such as the Salsa Giants, a salsa supergroup featuring one of Rikki’s main influences Willy Chirino. Selena is the other primary influence of Rikki La Rouge. The album gained notoriety around the world for its anti-Castro sentimentalities and “Free Cuba” mantra that echos across all the songs on the album. The single “Cayo Coco” received the most praise. And now six years later, Rikki La Rouge is re-releasing the song during a time when she said the world needs to be reminded of the themes that were presented in that song.

🎧 Not Your Average DJ: Steve Barrio

As a DJ, producer, and guitarist, Steve isn’t content with simply moving bodies on the dance floor—he aims to move hearts too.

Rikki La Rouge Cover of Como La Flor and Baila Este Cumbia
This is a rough demo I did of the Selena song Como La Flor. Even though it’s a rough demo, it did record really well. I recorded because she’s one of my favorite all-time singers. Also, when I was in high school, I sang in a talent show, and I decided to do my version of the Selena used to open the song by doing of the course first and then so I did a studio or makeshift studio in my case version of that song and it did come out really well, even though it was a rough demo that I did and it’s only rough because the what I recorded on was not equipped for that.

Rikki La Rouge covers Thunder by Imagine Dragons
my version of thunder by Imagine Dragons is throwback to Latin music of the 1950s. It’s cha-cha mambo. I love how intense my version of thunder by . It’s Latin music with English language lyrics. It’s tropical music Ingles. It’s got drive and intensity. I wanted to be as if not a little bit more intense than the original version of thunder by the Imagine Dragons. once again when I was recording this, I was songs that were relevant around that time and this was one of the songs that I really paid attention to I thought it would’ve been cool to do a classic Latin version of thunder and so I went for it and I’m glad that I did.
