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”
Taylor Swift Eras Tour pt. 1
We all have an opinion about Taylor Swift, like it or not. This is the relationship that I have with her music, and what I’ve experienced during this time. The Eras Tour Era. Preparing for 2023, I had plenty on my mind. When would the Coachella lineup be announced? Who would drop last-minute albums andContinue reading “Taylor Swift Eras Tour pt. 1”
A Message to 2022
“Sheesh!” Said Lizzo in “2 Be Loved (Am I ready),” a song that resonates with me more and more as we come to the close of 2022. I’d be lying to say it was a totally “bad” year, but there were enough bullet-point negative aspects to ’22 that make me look back across the scopeContinue reading “A Message to 2022”
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”
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”
Star-Crossed: An Era
I remember my initial knee-jerk reaction when Kacey Musgraves cleared out her Instagram last year and began posting cryptic words set against white cloud back drops. “Let me set the scene.” “Moved out of the home we made, and gave you back your name.” “What have we done?” It was a new chapter for ourContinue reading “Star-Crossed: An Era”
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”
