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”
Sing it Saturday: MARINA – Blue / Gold
As I tend to do, I’m breaking my own rules, and covering two tracks. Both by Marina (Marina and the Diamonds) from her 2015 album FROOT. This album is sandwiched between her earlier two projects and her two more recent albums. It would be the last that she released before rebranding simply to: MARINA. AsideContinue reading “Sing it Saturday: MARINA – Blue / Gold”
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”
Sing it Saturday : Back On My Love
Who is Pure Shores? Where did they come from? How does one partake?
