The 69 Eyes: A Return to Raw Rock ’n’ Roll
Finnish gothic-metal band The 69 Eyes, affectionately known as the “Helsinki Vampires,” marked their 20th anniversary in 2009 with fierce energy and fearless authenticity.
Frontman Jyrki 69 reflected on the band's evolution, highlighting their ninth album Back In Blood as a bold return to their darker, grittier roots:
“We wanted to be dangerous again. No frills. Just sex, blood, and rock ’n’ roll.”
Produced by Matt Hyde (Slayer, Monster Magnet), the album strips away the overproduction and synth-heavy layers, bringing back that primal rock edge — raw, unapologetic, and alive.
Sometimes, reinvention means peeling back the layers to rediscover the pulse of your original fire.
💘 Selena Gomez & Benny Blanco: When Love Becomes a Soundtrack
Their joint album I Said I Love You First is more than a collaboration — it's a personal, creative dialogue between Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, released under SMG Music, Friends Keep Secrets, and Interscope Records.
Across 15 tracks, the duo explores intimacy, humor, and vulnerability — all wrapped in catchy melodies and modern pop warmth.
In the music video for Younger and Hotter Than Me, Gomez pokes fun at her child star legacy, turning reflection into empowerment — and playfulness into art.
Featuring contributions from Finneas, Gracie Abrams, and Charli XCX, the album blends multiple voices into a unified emotional journey.
Sometimes, saying I love you first is the boldest creative act of all.
