Going Behind the Lens With Alexandra Scuffle

Victoria Blade Shares Music Video for "Moving Song"

Atlanta-via-Brooklyn's singer-songwriter Victoria Blade is one of my favorite discoveries of the year. Blending classically trained vocals with a carefree, indie-pop vibe, sweet melodies, and lyricism that makes her songs feel more like a journal entry than a track meant to be shared with the...
