I wouldn’t call myself pretentious when it comes to music, though others may disagree. I analyze music but not in a technical way, I try to find the feeling in everything and that might be where I struggled with Ariana Grande. I have a complicated relationship with Ariana Grande and her music. She clearly seems…
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…
I just spent the last hour and 50 minutes crying. Though I constantly find myself frustrated with Netflix’s streaming content, (it just feels like the platform needs more Jake Gyllenhaal movies) there’s no denying the fact that they’ve created some wonderful and enjoyable original content. Dumplin’ is the latest hit out of the streaming service…
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 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…
