Why review this album? 2020 was a tough year for everyone and while 2021 looks far more promising, we aren’t out of the woods yet. Speaking of the woods, thanks to Andrew and Steve (love you both), I was introduced to Future Nostalgia. LV, Andrew, Steve, and I spent many a summer night in 2020 […]

I found Rolling Stone’s ‘500 Greatest Albums of All Time’ (link) and generated a random number between 1 and 500 in […]
Why review this album? Flying Lotus is an artist that has always intrigued me.

Feel free to send me recommendations through the comment box or DM me on Instagram if you have more! Dreamland This song is aptly named […]
Why review this album? I am an unabashed fan of Kanye West’s music (though not necessarily Kanye West, the person.) However, I was encouraged to review this album by none other than the fabulous Larissa V! Kanye was the first major concert that we attended together, during the infamous ‘Saint Pablo’ tour so I guess […]
Why review this album? 2020 was hard to live through but ‘After Hours’ made it a little easier. The catchy chorus and beat of ‘Blinding Lights’ was everywhere last year from Tik Tok to commercials. In fact, the main impetus for getting this review out now is the Super Bowl where The Weeknd will be […]
