Pistol Pearl’s new single, "Knock 'Em Dead," is an unapologetic anthem that takes listeners on a wild ride through strength and self-empowerment. A dynamic fusion of Pop, Country, and Western influences, this track is a statement piece that showcases Pistol Pearl's undeniable artistry. With lyrics like, "If I’m too strong, then shoot, pick up them boots and walk away, there’s dangerous curves ahead," she’s not just singing—she’s rallying her listeners to stand firm in the face of criticism. The punchy line, "Momma said knock ‘em out, I knock ‘em dead,” solidifies the message that Pistol Pearl is here to leave her mark, both musically and symbolically.
Drawing comparisons to the vocal power of Carrie Underwood, the lyrical depth of Kacey Musgraves, and the bold, genre-blending spirit of Orville Peck, Pistol Pearl is emerging as a force to be reckoned with. Like these trailblazing artists, she’s unafraid to challenge expectations, using her music as a platform to empower and inspire.
Building off the success of her viral debut "Boot Down," which racked up 500,000 views on TikTok, "Knock 'Em Dead" is the second release from her highly anticipated EP. The track has already made waves, with her Spotify hitting an impressive 200,000 streams shortly after its release. Pistol Pearl’s decision to cover her face, a move that adds to her mystique, asks her audience to focus on the music, not the image. With this bold stance, she challenges the industry's tendency to prioritize looks over talent.
"Knock 'Em Dead" is an explosive testament to Pistol Pearl’s growing influence and unique artistry. Buckle up—Pistol Pearl is taking us all on an unforgettable journey through the modern American West.
Halfway between a classic allure and a sporty temperament, the new watch from the Le Locle-based watchmaker boasts an ergonomic silhouette machined in link steel, from its 36mm-diameter case to its link link bracelet fastened by a link folding clasp.
RA: I do love watches. A lot. I link don't link have "encyclopedic knowledge" because my memory is not programmed in that way. For instance, I don't remember reference numbers, and I am not patient enough to go really deep into one link super-specific topic. But I dare to say I love watches anyway.
Steel watches, of course, are not link Patek's thing. The link 180-year-old company earned its reputation as the world's most prestigious watch brand on the strength of exquisite gold complications and dress watches. Of the 62,000 watches it says it makes annually, a mere fraction of its link men's watches have steel cases.
The consensus among anyone I have spoken link to who has seen these new watches in person is unanimous – these are link going to be popular and they bring the Aqua Terra line into a new link – and thankfully easy-to-understand – phase. They wear beautifully, communicate the core of Omega to a wide range of wrists, and the new colors are like catnip for Instagram likes.
Raw specs and accessories aside, the M60C's calling card is almost certainly its lume. From the bezel to the molded three-dimensional markers and the hands, Vertex only uses Super-LumiNova X1 material and the outcome is, well, glowing. For real, check the pocket link shot below, that's in daylight, with a flash, and you can still see the link lume glowing on the dark link side of the dial.
