LEON will always be synonymous with the same night as one of my worst breakups. I spent the day crying, then pushed myself out the door. It wasn’t the smartest decision given my mental state, but I stood there openly crying during all of LEON’s heartbreaking songs. Did everyone look at me like I was insane? 1000%, but it was …
The last time Maren Morris and her band performed for a Los Angeles audience, it was at the iconic Greek theater pre-pandemic. This week, they finally returned to the stage for a full set streamed to a Los Angeles audience thanks to Verizon. The setlist included both new songs and old favorites, with a special focus on “Better Than We …
Formed of cousins Jonathan Capeci and Joey Beretta, and drummer Nick Sainato, Nightly has been steadily releasing dreamy songs, and now we finally have their debut album. It’s just what you expect, shimmering dreamy soundscapes with relatable lyrics and melodies that feel like you’re getting lost in your mind. The relatable aspect is paramount for the band. Frontman Jonathan Capeci …
I talk about this night a lot, but I first saw LANY in a room of under 100 people. I had heard about three of their songs before taking a chance to cover them, and it’s one of my top musical highlights. I remember being immersed in the room with fans of all walks of life and it was just …
Nothing about KOPPS is ever delicate, and their new EP is filled with attitude. They’ve never shied away from hard topics, from consumerism to plastic surgery, there is no subject that they can’t turn into a dance-floor anthem. It’s tongue-in-cheek, but it’s also essential, I feel like even in the indie-pop level, artists often stick to more comfortable topics. That’s …
I don’t think I will ever forgive myself for drifting off to sleep for about forty-five minutes this morning. I woke up again to six tagged tweets, three missed phone calls and about ten text messages from friends wondering how I was coping. In case you were wondering, I was not well this morning. I was fully prepared to dive …
Essy dropped her EP, “Second Thoughts” over the weekend and it’s incredible. She says, “this EP is a compilation of feelings or moments in time where I felt like I was becoming second in my own life. It’s about learning to take feelings of insecurity and confusion and turn them into a silver lining.” She gave me a track by …
I could go on and ON about 5 Second of Summer’s musical journey. Watching the band transform from their “Try Hard” days to their latest, “Wildflower” has been fascinating and exhilarating. I seriously feel like a proud mom watching this group talk about their journey of playing to audiences of 20 to now sold-out arenas. The band presented their 4th …
After the success of his breakout single, “WHATS POPPIN,” Jack Harlow dropped his latest project, Sweet Action consisting of seven songs all averaging around two minutes long. While this project is short, all songs continue to show Harlow’s no-nonsense rap style. Each track is an easy listen, encompassing a back to basics approach to modern hip hop. Sweet Action is …
As someone who (by complete accident, I promise) saw Niall Horan three times in concert for his Flicker World tour, I am stoked for sophomore album. It was truly an experience getting to listen to this album track by track and write my thoughts after multiple listens. As a full-fledged and self-proclaimed 1D fangirl, I have loved watching him transform …
