It has been two years since Gavin James has released new music and his new releases are filling the empty void in my heart. Gavin James has provided many moments of comfort in a life that I often feel lost in. Though his music takes on a more somber tone, his soft tone and passionate…
Ben Rector Is Pure Magic | Album Review
… and the Award for the most appropriately named album goes to: Ben Rector’s, Magic. Truth time: A few years ago Ben Rector was playing in Los Angeles and Gavin James was his opener. My friend and I decided to buy last minute tickets and left as soon as Gavin James finished his set. I remembered…
Music Monday: Sober
Well, its’s been a minute since I posted something for Music Monday but I’m happy to say that I am slowly crawling out of my depression hole. I’m not out of the woods just yet, but I see a glimmer of light in the distance. I’ve always found comfort in music during the darkest of…
Thank You Demi | “Sober” Single Review
Clinical Depression is a bitch of a diagnosis. (I promise the song review is in here somewhere) Not sure if you’ve noticed but it’s been fairly quiet on this side of the internet. Juliexplores has been missing the motivation that is used to keep this site running and truly, it’s been one hell of a…
Super Excited Over SUPERFRUIT | Concert Review
I always hesitate before purchasing tickets for an all-ages concert; the fact that I’m 28 (and feeling 58) immediately hits me in the face when I’m surrounded by 16-year-old children that I don’t understand.

No. The 19-year-old singer-songwriter just released his self-titled album and suddenly I’m wondering how I’ve gone all this time without listening to…
On Wednesday’s We Wear Pink | Mean Girls OBC Recording Review
Okay so who is going to buy me a ticket to New York so that I can go watch Mean Girls the Musical? You can find me on Venmo. Tina Fey has brought the mean girls to New York City and I have never wanted to be in New York more! The Original Broadway Cast Recording of Mean…
‘Vida’ Is Giving Me Life! | Review
I have been meaning to share my new discovery with you all for three weeks now but it felt like such a daunting task to attempt a description of it that I, of course, put it off until now. I no longer make plans for Sunday evenings because I have blocked off that time to…
Feeling Electric Over James Bay | Album Review
There is music out there that completely takes your breath away the moment you listen to it, which was the case when James Bay and his debut album, Chaos And The Calm found its way into my life. The impact of the album surpassed my tiny corner of the world and made it as far as garnering…
