The Universe is currently taking turns playing with different parts of my life. As if existing wasn’t hard enough, this past week decided to be extra emotional and completely unnecessary in how complicated every day turned out. I came here to have a good time, and honestly, I am feeling so attacked right now. I…
When people ask me, “If you could listen to one album for the rest of your life, what album would that be?” I don’t hesitate when replying with “The Blessed Unrest by Sara Bareilles”. To me, The Blessed Unrest feels like a perfect collection of songs. It perfectly describes the kind of heartbreak that feels unbearable while reminding…
I have witnessed some legendary concerts in my time, but I always had a dream to see Alejandro Fernandez live. I have been trying to see him live for a few years now and thanks to my work wife, Alex, my dream finally became a reality and it was absolutely magical. This man exudes magic…
The protest anthem of the year has arrived just in time to play and replay before you cast your vote on November 6th. I have been a casual fan of Imagine Dragons for a few years now but after watching Dan Reynolds’s documentary, Believer on HBO I find myself gravitating toward their music more and more. If…
I knew watching Coco would be a magical experience; not only because I watched the movie with my entire family in the theatre but also because I was seeing my culture represented (positively) in a major film. However, I was completely unprepared for the way the movie would impact my life for the entire year after watching…
I missed Sara Bareilles. It’s been 5 entire years since her last album. Though yes, she tried to trick us by being a part of Waitress the Musical and by releasing “If I Dare”. The truth is that she hasn’t released new music sine 2013. I’ve overplayed The Blessed Unrest and have rewatched all of her live performances on…
It was twenty years ago today that Britney’s “… Baby One More Time” made its debut and in that moment, my life was forever changed. I don’t remember exactly when the song made its way into my tiny 9-year-old life but I do know that when it did; it was magical. My life became a…
I’m still grieving over The Civil Wars, though I understand that John Paul White and Joy Williams made a decision to go their separate ways; I still feel a void in my musical heart. I guess the good thing that has come from all of this is how we get double the music now. This…
It’s been a few days since the release of the trailer for The Curse of La Llorona and though immediately after watching it the first time, the anger filled my entire body; I was hoping that the frustration would be gone after a few days. I was wrong. Maybe it seems frivolous to be upset about this…
From the moment that I saw the first trailer, I felt like I would love this film. The trailer had the song, “Hurt” by Timi Yuro running through it and it made me feel everything all at once. I mean, you show me Jake Gyllenhaal and I will show up regardless but the thing is;…
