Concerts w/ Coffee
We go to the shows, sit in the back, and tell it like it is. From stage presence to sound quality, we rate live performances based on what we actually saw- so you know who delivers when the lights go up. If an artist can hold it down from the farthest row, that says everything.
This week’s Concerts with Coffee lands at Lucky Daye’s show, where the lights hit warm, the vocals hit deeper, and the crowd knew every word. We sat in the back this time — close enough to feel it, far enough to really watch it unfold.
What’s Brewing : Music Radar
A weekly roundup of new releases and emerging artists curated by the CGR team that we think are worth spotlighting. From standout debuts to unexpected drops, these are the projects that caught our ear and earned a spot on our radar.


Song of The Week: When We Get By - D'Angelo
D’Angelo’s “When We Get By” is soul at its most human—warm, tender, and quietly resilient. His vocals and stripped-back production create a sense of intimacy that feels like a hand on your shoulder. It’s a reminder that love, community, and patience can carry us through, long after the song ends.

Albums We Love: 3ee LUVSNGS
On Love Songs, 3EE channels the falsetto finesse of early-aughts Robin Thicke and the inventive pop-R&B blend of peak-era Justin Timberlake, crafting a project that feels both nostalgically familiar and sonically fresh. The production is sleek, the melodies are intentional, and the emotion runs deep. It’s a confident step forward from an artist clearly rooted in tradition but unafraid to push the sound forward.

Tackling the Day's List.
Whether you're powering through work, easing into the morning, or just trying to shake off a not-so-great day, the right soundtrack can shift the mood, or hold space for it. These playlists are made for all of it: the flow state, the off days, the late nights, and the little wins. Music to move through it, reflect it, or rise above it.
