Reviews from an actual music fan
Music isn’t just sound, it's soul, it's history, it's the heartbeat of culture. I’m Chilly Oppa, and since day one, music has been my lifeline. From digging into dusty records to obsessively deep-diving into every genre you can name, I’ve found beauty, meaning, and connection in every beat and every lyric.
What started as a personal passion turned into a purpose: bridging the gap between local music lovers and the incredibly talented artists right here in the Twin Cities. My mission? To give honest, heartfelt reviews that go beyond the surface, because music deserves more than clickbait, and artists deserve someone who genuinely gives a F*#% about what they create.
So whether you’re an artist looking for real feedback, a fan chasing your next favorite song, or just someone who believes in the power of music to bring people together, welcome. Let’s build something beautiful, one track at a time.
Much love friendingtons, - Chilly Oppa
Local Artist of the month
Ava Levy
I first came across Ava Levy when she played as an opener at Anna Devine's EP Release Show, and I was pleasantly drawn in by an extremely solidified sound, soft and playful, yet layered with grunge and emotional undertones. I quickly noted that the song built beautifully in layers (later found out this was her latest released single, Cat Song). The laid back yet impressionable perpetual guitar strum was addicting and highlighted Ava's personal and open lyrics. The song’s tonal structure and subtle sampling highlight Ava Levy’s creative depth. The more that I dove into Ava's music (post live performance), the more I got hooked on her iconic dualistic sound. Her other released single, not ur clown, was equally as impressive and catchy, and further cemented her distinct sonic fingerprint.
Brought into the music scene at a young age, Ava Levy has clearly been carefully crafting an organic sound/aesthetic for years, and it's definitely paying off! Though she only has 2 released singles, she still has quickly become one of my most listened to local artists. It's no secret that she has created her way to a well established place in the local scene, and has me on the edge of my seat, ready for whatever she is sculpting behind the scenes. Up next, Ava has a live performance at the 331 Club on May 29th, and speaking from experience, this is not something you'll want to miss!
