Take Your Man – Mahogany Lox

12 November 2019

God Bless TikTok. My new favorite app. The first sign I’m getting old. An app that has basically replaced vine, a vehicle for short funny videos to become viral…

Mr. Big Shot – Emilie Brandt

7 October 2019

“The keyword with this track is empowerment,” is how this song was described when it was submitted. This instantly grabbed my attention and I was not disappointed. As a woman today, it’s still a ridiculously steep uphill battle to be treated equally and like a normal human being…

All For Us – Labrinth & Zendaya

11 September 2019

Honestly, I should be paid by the entertainment industry but how often I promote shows and movies. Now, I’m not sure how many people actually read these posts, if any, but for those who might, you might know I’m a cinephile and a tv show…phile… (is there a word for that, too?). I’m always referencing entertainment in these posts…

Boom – X Ambassadors

13 August 2019

Catchy, fun, and yet meaningful. Boom is about a breaking away from a toxic relationship. The pain and anger turns into fuel to get your feet walking out the door. I’ve written before about how difficult it is to see a relationship from the outside. His song “Gang Shit” tells the story of three Americans; a cop, a KKK clan member, and an incarcerated black man…

Gang Shit – Marlon Craft

26 June 2019

Marlon Craft is a New York rapper who is slowly building his way to fame. He is all about spaces for New York artists to collaborate and come up with new material.

His song “Gang Shit” tells the story of three Americans; a cop, a KKK clan member, and an incarcerated black man…

Drift – Alina Baraz & Galimatias

5 June 2019

Sometimes, I get stuck in the past. I replay moments, looking for closure or signs or anything to bring those moments back. When you lose someone, physically or emotionally, you tend to go back to the past a lot. Eventually, you move forward, and start living in the present but every once in a while, you’re pulled back. When there’s a lack of closure, it acts like an anchor…

Vogue – Madonna

14 May 2019

First let me start off by saying I’m sorry this took me so long. I just felt it was a little too on the nose, but it just needs to be on the playlist. The whole idea for this playlist started with this song, after all. Plus, my coffee table is toppling over with Vogue magazines and books…

You & Jennifer – bülow

30 April 2019

Relationships can be tricky and every one is different. We’ve all had a friend discuss their relationship issues and you try to give them advice and although they agree and nod their heads yes, they don’t act on it. Or vice versa, you’ve been the one to get advice but you know that they just don’t understand the complexities of your relationship. No one can completely understand another’s relationship but every once in a while, music does…

Coming Over (filous Remix) – James Hersey

9 April 2019

With not a lot of information just yet on this rising star, I’m given the opportunity to talk about the song itself. What I do know about James Hersey is he was raised in Vienna, Austria and abandoned a jazz-guitar degree to become a singer-songwriter which all started with this song…

I Got 5 On It (Tethered Mix from Us) – Michael Abels, Luniz, Michael Marshall

27 March 2019

A man after my own heart, Jordan Peele loves to create movies with hidden meanings that are thought-provoking and intentional. In film school, we were always told that there’s a reason for everything in a film, accidents don’t happen. Jordan Peele takes that to another level, making sure to leave easter eggs and clues throughout his films…

bury a friend – Billie Eilish

12 March 2019

Billie Eilish is definitely unique. Her music is always fun and eclectic, taking on different sounds and themes, but her lyrics always seems to hit home. Speaking about her and her brother’s collaboration, Billie says a lot of their songwriting and lyrics come from common experiences…
