Get Intimate with “Need Love” by LIEZA
In my personal opinion, self aware songwriters create the most genuine music. Though we are all constantly learning more about ourselves, having a deep knowledge of your own heart and mind, dreams, traumas, etc. can lead to some of the most honest material that will hit a listener somewhere deep in the soul. In modern […]
Learn to Let it Go With “The Great Divide” by He Who Never
One of the many inspirational phrases people love to say is, “live life with no regrets”. But do people really live up to that ideal? What about that time you got a perm? Or when you ran a red light? Or when you dated that horrible person? As far as dating and love go, I […]
Remove Life’s Shackles with “Freedom” by Brittany Pfantz
In a time of computer generated beats, EDM drops, rap features, and poppy, repetitive melodies, it is not often you get something raw, an anthemic song that shakes you up and makes you want to do something. Don’t get me wrong. The grocery list of Top 40 music elements isn’t bad. Hell, if you can’t […]
Feel in Control with Isak Danielson’s “Power”
One of the most interesting formats I believe a song can have is contrasted musical and lyrical content. You know those songs that you belt in the car or dance to in your room, but only after reading the lyrics do you realize the true story that’s being told? “Some Nights” by Fun sounds like […]
Get Your Dose of Live Music with “Whole of Me” by Natalie Shay
When you ask someone what their hobbies are, you often get answers like cooking, writing, drawing, dancing, video games, sports, etc. When people ask me, I often say concerts. I love hearing live music. Listening to a song on a train with your headphones in, to me, will never beat hearing the song boom through […]
Lose Yourself in “Love Lost” by Paddy James
I wrote once about the massive amount of love songs musical artists have provided listeners for decades. From “I Will Always Love You” by Dolly Parton (and Whitney Houston) to “Can’t Help Falling In Love With You” by Elvis Presley, some of the most popular songs to date have been all about affairs of the […]
Bask in the Simplicity of “Look at Me” by Copilot
There are so many factors that can go into a song these days. Every song is different. An artist can make a song as big or as little as they want to. It’s all about how they build it. While a fully orchestrated and complex song can prickle your senses and take your breath away, […]
Fall into Rhythm with “Talk to Me” by Mia Mi
Hip-hop and R&B have been mostly male dominated genres for years. Nat King Cole, Al Green, Prince, Lionel Richie, Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson – these are just a few of the men who have, throughout the years, built the genre from the ground up and left large legacies behind. Of course, […]
Relax into Royalty with “king” by Slenderbodies
Having trouble getting vulnerable with a significant other? Need a song to set the perfect chilled out soundtrack for your day? Do you love indie pop and the sound of a smooth, sultry male vocalist? I’ve got just the song and band for you. slenderbodies, an indie pop dup based out of California, is made […]
Go for a Night Drive with INTRN’s “Different Story”
Sometimes you need to go for a night drive, play some music, and just think. Think about anything and everything. Introspection often goes along with music for me. Hell, for ninety percent of my preteen years, I was the girl who put her headphones in, played sad music, and then looked out the window despairingly, […]
