Black Belt Eagle Scout Shares Atmospheric New Single “Nobody”: Stream
Black Belt Eagle Scout, the indie rock project of Katherine Paul, is back today with another new single called “Nobody.” It’s the latest sample of her upcoming album The Land, The Water, The Sky. Much of Paul’s music is inspired by her Indigenous roots, and “Nobody” navigates the complexities of representing a marginalized community: “When I was growing up, I didn’t have very many Native role models to look to on TV or the radio,” she said in a press release. “It was within my own community that I found inspiring role models through our elders and our community leaders.” Paul adds: “With Native representation in music and television slowly growing, I often ask myself where I stand within representation in music and how I want to be seen. This song is about the relationship I have with my o...

Robert Plant: Phil Collins Was “A Driving Force” Behind My Solo Career
If you’ve been keeping tabs on Robert Plant lately, it’s clear he’s doing just fine without Led Zeppelin.

It wasn’t a difficult job to get together with other people, it was just wheth...
