Forever doesn’t exist. It never has. Artists of every kind throw the term around with little care for the severity of the idea. Forever. For ever. With no end and in perpetuity. Nothing that has ever existed lives up to that. Shania Twain has a charmed and beloved place in music that gives her theContinue reading “Shania Twain – Forever And For Always”

Feature Friday: Wings of Love – LIV
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”
Lets Talk About…
Betty Who I’m sure we all saw that youtube video with the Home Depot flash mob wedding proposal. In it, a man proposes to his longtime boyfriend with their entire families participating in the middle of a Home Depot to the song “Somebody Loves You.” It went viral, made everyone cry and inspired a ton of subsequent flash mobContinue reading “Lets Talk About…”
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”
