#FOMO Report: Marc E. Bassy’s “Gossip Columns” Listening Party
How is it mid-October already? Excuse me as I go through a mid-life crisis. Today, I woke up in a Marc E. Bassy mood. If you’re a Marc E. Bassy fan, you know what I’m talking about. When you’re just in the mood to listen to some Marc E. Bassy. If you’re not a fan, I’m about to make you a fan. Organically. His music speaks for itself. Read more…
“You And Me” with G-Eazy makes me want to cry. Every time I hear it. It’s that good. Marc is from the Bay, which is an automatic co-sign. He’s an R&B singer, but his voice is so fucking unique. It’s so identifiable, which is extremely rare nowadays. I was just having this conversation with someone tonight. Music is beyond saturated right now. I was specifically addressing female R&B artists but it applies to all genres. There’s so many new artists and so many artists with the same sound. It’s really hard to keep up. Especially when it’s part of your job.
Gossip Columns out now around the world. Can’t thank you all enough. Link in bio.

ANYWAYS. Marc is an artist I think is so slept on. I mean, he’s known. He’s poppin’. But I think he should be superstar status with what he brings to the table. Tonight was the celebration of his debut album Gossip Columns, which is now available. This was an invite-only listening party, so I felt honored to make the cut. Huge thanks to Matt all the way in New York always making sure I’m taken care of. He’s the best of the best.

The event took place at the Live Nation offices in Beverly Hills, which was totally not advertised on the flier but I recognized the address. I was here for Destructo’s 10-year celebration of HARDFEST. This place is so lit lmao. So nice inside. The event was from 6-8pm and I definitely did not make it. The goal was to catch his performance but with LA traffic, my 7:45pm arrival time did not suffice.

I bugged everyone around me for clips they got of Marc’s sexy self lmao. Huge thanks to Frankie, Eric, and Ash for sending me their flicks. Literally so annoying but I really wanted to put him on. Besides being amazingly talented, Marc is also phenomenal live. His last show in LA had us all drooling.
It was all fam out tonight. Literally family. I got to interview him for Young California, and I’m pretty sure he was nearing the border of drunk and wasted lmao. But I’m glad I got him before the latter. Shout out to DJ Amen and Fess for setting this up. Marc is really a sweetheart and I’m just waiting for the day he’s too big to be talking to little old me.
HERE FOR THIS. @MARCEBASSY & #kehlani ✨✨✨ pic.twitter.com/D4JDzUrxpf

So funny, I was literally listening to the album before it dropped on Apple Music, where they have the tracklist but only the singles are accessible. And as I was driving, at 9pm, all of a sudden the songs that weren’t available beforehand now were. That tripped me out. I only noticed when Kehlani‘s voice all of a sudden took over my speakers. I fucking love Baelani. Gossip Columns will definitely be in rotation this weekend.
