Never heard of LIV? No surprise there. They were a quick project composed of Lykke Li, Miike Snow and Peter Bjorn & John. They only made four songs together over the span of a few years starting in 2016, but each of those songs is something special. The most memorable is “Wings of Love,” which soundsContinue reading “Feature Friday: Wings of Love – LIV”

Feature Friday: Eh, Eh – Lady Gaga
Call it a throwback. Call it a reach for obscurity. This “deep cut,” as it were, reeks of the earliest stages of Lady Gaga, who had just barely stopped going by “Stefani” at this point in her career. It’s easy to forget how many good tracks came out of Lady Gaga’s debut album “The Fame,”Continue reading “Feature Friday: Eh, Eh – Lady Gaga”
Feature Friday: Linger – The Cranberries
This song is one of my earlier music memories. I recall visiting my (way) cooler older cousins for the summer and latching onto everything they did. It was all so much grander in the bigger metropolitan area that they lived in versus the dorky suburbs that I came from. I was in single-digit aged atContinue reading “Feature Friday: Linger – The Cranberries”
Feature Friday: Tonight – Lykke Li
Lykke Li has put me through every emotion. I was thrilled when I scored tickets to see her in Las Vegas in 2015 at the tail end of her tour for “I Never Learn,” which is still one of my favorite albums ever. I was devastated when that very concert was canceled due to winds,Continue reading “Feature Friday: Tonight – Lykke Li”
Feature Friday: Love S.O.S. – Justice
Categorized under “concerning,” this song jolted me the very first time I listened to Justice’s 2016 album “Woman.” It stands out, and Justice has taught me to stay on my toes when listening to tracks of theirs that I’m unfamiliar with. Sometimes the French House duo is funny. Sometimes they’re scary. Sometimes they’re messing aroundContinue reading “Feature Friday: Love S.O.S. – Justice”
Feature Friday: Sigala & Paloma Faith – Lullaby
First and foremost I should be honest: I’m going through it. The kind of lingering ever present discomfort that kills my appetite and leaves me jumping out of my skin if I don’t do a good enough job at distracting myself. Aside from bothering everyone willing to listen, my go-to is music. Paloma Faith hasContinue reading “Feature Friday: Sigala & Paloma Faith – Lullaby”
Feature Friday: Taylor Swift – State of Grace
“Red” is arguably Taylor Swift’s best album. It fell perfectly between her earlier country sound and her more recent pop contributions. Some would consider her Pièce De Résistance to be “1989,” but those who know, know: Red is the one. Back in 2013, I caught one of her many Concerts at Staples Center, and she kickedContinue reading “Feature Friday: Taylor Swift – State of Grace”
Feature Friday: Recovery – CULTS
“Drifting through the silence, searching for guarantees. Out of view, but not too far out of reach…” This is my favorite song by CULTS, which has basically become one of my favorite bands. I love their ’60’s, surf-rock with a dark backstory-kinda sound, and I appreciate their style that’s cool and apathetic, while still conveyingContinue reading “Feature Friday: Recovery – CULTS”
Feature Friday: The Beach Boys – Don’t Worry Baby
Spend ten minutes with me and you’ll probably learn that I’m obsessed with nostalgia. While I’m fascinated by today’s youth, and I love knowing what’s going on with the coolest people among us, I’ve always spent my life daydreaming about a time that I never existed in. The 60’s and 70’s are my favorite timesContinue reading “Feature Friday: The Beach Boys – Don’t Worry Baby”
Feature Friday: Kindness Feat. Robyn – Who Do You Love?
What initially felt like a cool mix with some nice lyrics ended up hiding a lot more under the surface. This song came into my consciousness at the end of Robyn’s set at the Hollywood Palladium– her first solo show in LA in about eight years. I couldn’t have been happier to be there, and was singingContinue reading “Feature Friday: Kindness Feat. Robyn – Who Do You Love?”
