I was in High School when I saw RENT for the first time, it was the movie version and I became obsessed immediately (this was before I knew that the film version was the inferior version of the musical). I have always felt lucky to have found the musical when I was a teenager. Jonathan…
I’m about to introduce you to your new favorite artist: Maggie Rogers. Maggie, who’s claim to fame was a viral video where Pharrell Williams listened to her song “Alaska” and immediately fell in love, just released her album Heard It In A Past Life and you can consider me officially obsessed. Now clearly I had…
Admittedly, I had already written a “Music Monday” post for the week but then Johnnyswim decided to release a new single and now I’ve replayed it 7 times in a row. There was no way I would begin the week without sharing “Bridges” with you all. I’m surprised this hasn’t turned into a Johnnyswim Fan…
Here it is, the first Music Monday blog post of 2019 and I’ll warn that I’m writing this after watching the Golden Globes so I’m a bit worked up. I mean, Bohemian Rhapsody for Best Drama? It’s as if the Hollywood Foreign Press didn’t watch any of the other contenders. I digress. The motivation of…
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…
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’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…
Sometimes it’s absolutely necessary to travel out of the city for a concert. I know it sounds insane to say, but I have officially witnessed Allen Stone live eight beautiful times. You would think that I would find his show repetitive by now, but I find myself finding new meaning to his music and his…
Consider my obsession for Lewis Capaldi alive and well. It feels impossible for this man to create bad music, though his resume is short, his songs contain the kind of passion that is hard to miss and easy to fall in love with. He carries a distinctive voice paired with lyrics that easily crawl into…
