“I think 2026 will be an interesting year…”
It seemed like a harmless enough comment. You really can’t even call it a prediction. But I was right. We’re only 11 months in and 2026 has been a most interesting year, in ways nobody could have anticipated. Nice Nice Mean was released March 19, then Mixed Signals on April 9th, then both The Whisperer and What You Mean To Me on May 7th.
Then things got complicated…
Stay tuned for the complete story when CulturalException’s new album entitled The Whisperer is released, and the story of what it took to finish the album can be told.
What happens when your superpower
takes over your life?
“I believe the universe will find a way to reunite us someday…”
The Whisperer is another musical milestone for CulturalException fans. Hard rock meet emo meets the girl who hears too much and shares everyone’s secrets.
A brilliant vocal by Ivy Marie tells the story, with another stunning visual realization by frequent partner-in-crime Calinska.
“Privately she hides in the light / expensive taste, messy but just right…”
What You Mean To Me is a love song, reminiscent of your first school dance with a crush or the first dance at a wedding. A true collaboration with French/Brazilian singer/songwriter Enlia, who brought her distinctive vibe and texture to the production.
This song comes from the deepest of human experiences: Mutual attraction. Starts with a glance. Eye contact. Maneuvering to be physically close. Instant chemistry. Wondering, “Should I?” Or even, “What if?”
Directed by the amazing Calinska and set against the most strategic of games. Please feel free to share it with someone you probably shouldn’t be with, but want to anyway.
“Look, in today’s world a girl’s gotta know what she wants out of life…”
A dance manifesto that puts boys where they belong: under control.
