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”

Sing it Saturday: The Verve- Bitter Sweet Symphony
I find a deep satisfaction in bringing awareness to songs that I know will make other people happy if given a chance. It is always a differently rewarding experience, however, to talk about one that I know everyone already loves. Bitter Sweet Symphony was a perfect contribution of 90s music. It feels like a loveContinue reading “Sing it Saturday: The Verve- Bitter Sweet Symphony”
Sing it Saturday: Daft Punk – Get Lucky
Say what you will. Actually, don’t. Daft Punk is rad and nobody will ever do it like they did. I realized their polarizing appeal the weekend that I moved to LA back in 2017. Elite streetwear megastore Maxfield hosted a pop-up shop dedicated to our favorite space robots to commemorate their Grammy’s performance with theContinue reading “Sing it Saturday: Daft Punk – Get Lucky”
Sing it Satuday: LEN – Steal My Sunshine
1999 was a blast in the face from pop culture. Film, TV and music were at their peak, and we saw content that is still referenced today, even by young creators who weren’t born yet. Steal My Sunshine is a creation of that time. Everyone remembers this song, but probably wouldn’t be able to tellContinue reading “Sing it Satuday: LEN – Steal My Sunshine”
Sing it Saturday: Cher – Believe
No matter how hard I try, I can’t get past this late 90’s banger. It reshaped the landscape of pop music and showed that electronic elements in music were the way of the future. Sonically, it slaps. Lyrically, it’s devastating. I’m so sad you’re leaving. It takes time to believe it. As much as theContinue reading “Sing it Saturday: Cher – Believe”
Sing it Saturday: Allie X – Sanctuary
I remember being told by a friend “It’s literally my idea of a perfect pop song.” about Sanctuary. I’d listened to a good handful of Allie X songs, and understood that she purveyed an odd girl image against pop bangers and earworms. I always love when an artist creates challenging imagery to surround feather-light materialContinue reading “Sing it Saturday: Allie X – Sanctuary”
Sing it Saturday: Kacey Musgraves – Oh What a World
For the 5-year anniversary of Kacey Musgraves masterpiece album Golden Hour I chose to revisit a track that arguably serves as its thesis. Golden Hour upholds the highest standard of singer-songwriter pop, and justly won the Grammy for album of the year in 2019. Kacey perfected the country-to-pop pipeline and turned everyone into a fanContinue reading “Sing it Saturday: Kacey Musgraves – Oh What a World”
Sing it Saturday: Lily Allen – Smile
Something magical was going on in the mid 2000’s. The glimmer of pop music had tarnished and we were all sick of the picture-perfect perspective of “happy” popstars. As much as she looked the part, Lily Allen was not just another cute girly vying for popularity votes. She had a fuck of a bite, andContinue reading “Sing it Saturday: Lily Allen – Smile”
Sing it Saturday: Caroline Polachek – Fly to You
Caroline Polachek paints a different world with each of her songs. They feel ancient, but hundreds of years in the future at the same time. She pulls out emotions from each of us and gives the feeling that the journey we’re witnessing is our own. In Fly to You featuring Grimes and Dido, the trioContinue reading “Sing it Saturday: Caroline Polachek – Fly to You”
Sing it Saturday: Yuna – Loud Noises
A piano riff right at the top will always get me. This bouncy, soaring melodic song is pure and sentimental. You feel like you’re playing in Andy’s bedroom in Toy Story, no worries or concerns. “I promise you my friend, we’ll grow old together and never look back” The song moves along sweetly but realistically,Continue reading “Sing it Saturday: Yuna – Loud Noises”
