I’ve been all over the map with Lady Gaga. From the earliest feelings of fascination, intrigue and amusement with her cheeky stunts, to the fatigue of her public thirst that would follow. It rounded out years later when it all came into picture, and the world of onlookers came to realize that– surprise!- she wasContinue reading “Chromatica – A Deeper Love”

Songs to Get Us Through
I had every intention of taking an extended pause on this blog. I haven’t been feeling 100% “100,” as it were, and I felt like it was showing. I only want to put out there what will uplift, inspire and invoke meaningful thought, all through my thoughts on music. We all know what’s going onContinue reading “Songs to Get Us Through”
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”
That Time I met…
Robyn I can’t overstate the importance of Robyn in my musical life. She gave me some much needed relief in the wake of Amy Winehouse’s death and helped me to process so many times– good and bad- throughout my 20’s. And that’s what I told her when I met her. Here’s how it happened… My RobynContinue reading “That Time I met…”
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: 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: 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”
