"What Was I Made For?" by Billie Eilish // Urban Outfitters exclusive 7" pink vinyl

Image
"I used to know, but I'm not sure now, what I was made for" "What Was I Made For?" by Billie Eilish was such a shining moment in the 2023 Barbie film, I can't help but tear up every time I hear it. It is such a heart-wrenching and emotional song, with perfect placement in the film. When my mom and I first saw the movie, every single person in the theater was crying as this song played. It brought all of the underlying emotions present throughout the film into the forefront in such a beautiful way at the end.  It is eloquently written and masterfully performed by Billie, she conveys every emotion so impactfully. "What Was I Made For?" served as the soundtrack to such a pivotal scene as Barbie's creator Ruth Handler gives her life, which allows her to live in the real-world. So much of Barbie's storyline in the film grapples with not only trying to understand the meaning of life on a broad scale, but also to discover the meaning of your ow

Justice by Justin Bieber // Exclusive Gold Vinyl & Japanese Import CD

Justice is the sixth album by Justin Bieber , released in 2021 , the follow up to Changes the year before. It is one of his strongest releases yet, full of moments that are among the best of his career thus far.  As a whole, it builds upon the foundation he set in place with the R&B focused  Changes  really well and even greatly expanded upon some of the parts of that record that were lacking. Justice also spawned many big hits for him, the inescapably infectious "Peaches (featuring Daniel Caesar and Giveon)" is one the highlights from this album. "Ghost", "Lonely (featuring Benny Blanco), and "Holy (featuring Chance The Rapper)" are among some of the other hits that captured a more introspective side of Justin's artistry. Even though  Justice  is known for some of the bigger hits that came from the album, some of my personal favorites are definitely some of the deeper cuts like "Somebody", "Die For You (featuring Dominic Fike)

Ariana Grande's Highest Streamed Songs: Ranked // Spotify's Billions Club

Ariana Grande has reached the incredible milestone of having 14 songs reach over a billion streams each on Spotify! Over the past 10 years, Ariana has amassed over 39 billion streams on the platform and has become a member of the coveted Spotify Billions Club more than any other female artist. This achievement comes as no surprise, as Ariana has been a streaming titan for over a decade and was one of the first to embrace the early streaming era of the early 2010's long before many of her peers in the industry did. "It's a really absurd number – I can’t really wrap my head around the number," Ariana said in the Billions Club episode. "This really shook me a little." She has always been one of my favorite artists and this felt like the perfect time to rank all of her record-breaking songs that are in the Spotify Billions Club, as of February 2024. All of these are staples in her long and ever-growing list of hits. Several more songs are already on the brink o

"Training Season (Extended)" // Dua Lipa Training season's (finally) over! Dua Lipa is back with another smash hit, "Training Season", which serves as the second single for her upcoming album. She previewed it at The Grammy's this month and I was counting down the days until I would be able to listen to it again! It's been on repeat ever since!  Much like "Houdini" , she also released an extended cut of the song, which I absolutely love even more than the standard version. The production is absolutely incredible!  I am so excited for the rest of her album ! "Deeper Well" // Kacey Musgraves Last month I mentioned that we were long overdue for new music from Kacey and it seems like she heard my call! "Deeper Well" is the title track of her upcoming album and it feels like a return to the Golden Hour sound. It is such a beautiful and reflective song, that lets her talents shine so brightly. Her album is coming out next mon
