Who is THIS?! I was picturing a struggling indie band nestled in the back alleys of a gas-leaking, bug-invested apartment somewhere in the depths of a bustling city. I was wrong. Brandon Boyd can take full credit for stumping me because he has proceeded to amp up his guitar once again as well as his … Continue reading

A New Kind of Provocative
On March 8, 2013, Lorde released her EP, ‘The Love Club.’ For whatever reason, I am just now finding out about her. Where is she on the American Billboard Charts?! There could be arguments that she is not a ‘hit maker’ by U.S. standards, but I beg to differ. She does not have a distinct … Continue reading
Are The 90’s Back??
Between Icona Pop, boy bands uniting once again, and Zedd’s new hit, ‘Clarity,’ I’ve been hearing more and more aspects of the 90’s blaring through my radio. And I like it. I want more of it. Mariah Carey, the woman who I think of as THE quintessential 90’s is back as well, but she seems … Continue reading
Heavenly
She’s not your typical singer-songwriter. Yes, she can create her own music and tour relentlessly to promote her own work, but what she has mastered that many other singer-songwriters have not: how to bare one’s soul in a way that genuinely draws in audiences.

It’s about time, people, that we can hear the real vibrations beaming from a recording studio that syncs in time with raw vocals. She is a woman of authenticity who displays her grief and … Continue reading
Catey Shaw is the Definition of Cool
Woah. Hi Catey Shaw. I could not help but to literally witness those words spill out of my mouth after first blaring this track around downtown. I was in a funky mood that day, but she instantly lifted me up with her oh-so-stellar ukelele skills and hopeful lyrics. As a twenty-one year old surviving in … Continue reading
‘There’s Billions in This World, But I Always Come Back to You’
Beautifully, mystically twisted into a harmonious gesture, Jojo brings us this track from her newest mix tape, Agape. Vocally, she is flawless, but more so, her lyrics mean something that will stick with her fans. And that is something most artists today cannot proudly claim. She has been running along a hard road these past few years. … Continue reading

Back on the scene again after originally strutting into our earbuds with “212” ft. Lazy Jay, Azealia Banks is here to reign again. Her upcoming album will be here on April 16, 2013. Pitchfork labeled her work perfectly, in their 2011 article which stated, “The more you dig into the song [212], the more you … Continue reading
