I hate writing about Lykke Li sometimes. It’s like trying to describe a bubble. It’s kind of a rainbow, but also absolutely clear. You remember a perfect circle, but wasn’t it shifting the whole time? It was definitely there, but now it’s not, and I can’t prove it’s existence. Where are we now? I’ve beenContinue reading “Sing it Saturday: Lykke Li – Carousel”

Sing it Saturday: LCD Soundsystem – Someone Great
LCD Soundsystem epitomizes the early aughts. James Murphy’s deadpan lyrical delivery set atop a production filled with clicks, blips and thuds feels as quirky and smooth as the very best of The Postal Service/Death Cab. Someone Great is mellow and melancholy. Murphy’s subdued rage feels like he was pissed eight days ago but hasn’t sleptContinue reading “Sing it Saturday: LCD Soundsystem – Someone Great”
Sing it Saturday: SZA – Supermodel
SZA isn’t a Party gyal, as she Tweeted the night after the SOS album release event. As much as we’ve learned about her since the release of her 2017 opus Ctrl, so much still hangs in ambiguity. I think she prefers that, and I don’t mind it either. I love filling the gaps with howContinue reading “Sing it Saturday: SZA – Supermodel”
Sing It Saturday: Carol Ades – Sadtown USA
Every once in a great while, I hear a song that fits my taste so perfectly that I’ll fly off the tracks of my own thoughts. I drop whatever task I was working on or whatever conversation I was in to focus my entire attention on the song to the point that I almost forgetContinue reading “Sing It Saturday: Carol Ades – Sadtown USA”
Sing it Saturday: Lizzo – Special
Lizzo is a fan favorite. She gives us songs to dance to, TikToks to laugh at and a whole lot of booty content on Instagram. What she offers uniquely, however, is that feel-good element of validation and embrace. Fitting neatly into Lizzo’s narrative of self love, the title track of her fourth studio album “Special”Continue reading “Sing it Saturday: Lizzo – Special”
Lorde: Solar Power Tour
I hate the winter. I’ve learned in my life to process hardship and treat it as temporary, just as you should with the better times. It is fair to acknowledge the negative swing of the pendulum, and take enough time to heal before progressing. Lorde is an artist whom I can comfortably say I haveContinue reading “Lorde: Solar Power Tour”
Sing it Saturday : Back On My Love
Who is Pure Shores? Where did they come from? How does one partake? None of these questions can be answered at this current time due to the fact that this act is brand spankin new, and their story is yet to be written. Comprised of Swedish DJ/Producers Marlene and Ji Nilsson, this new project boastsContinue reading “Sing it Saturday : Back On My Love”
SOPHIE
We have all enjoyed the extreme variance of SOPHIE’s creations, whether we knew it or not. Lending a hefty influence to the last decade of dance and electronic musicians, SOPHIE had a ubiquitous hold on the music industry that the general public finally seemed to be catching onto. Blending super sped bubblegum pop with someContinue reading “SOPHIE”
Kanye and Drake take the Coliseum
In a massive double-bill that nobody expected, the two titans put aside their confusing public feud in effort to free long-jailed Chicago gang leader Larry Hoover at the LA Memorial Coliseum. Announced just a few weeks before happening, my immediate reaction was “That’s never going to happen.” Kanye (Now known legally as “Ye”) has aContinue reading “Kanye and Drake take the Coliseum”
2021 – A Year in Songs
We didn’t shake off the societal injuries sustained in 2020 as we had hoped, but many aspects of life returned this year, some bigger and better than ever. Live music exploded (with proof of vax, of course) and many of us flocked to shows, gigs and even festivals at a rapid pace. I was outContinue reading “2021 – A Year in Songs”
