"I Believe In Magic" // Halsey  I honestly can't even begin to process Halsey 's latest album, The Great Impersonator , but it truly did break my heart into a million pieces. It went places I couldn't have ever imagined and left me in tears from beginning to end. I forever am so inspired by their bravery to put out their heaviest and deepest work yet into the world. It's hard to choose just one track that stood out to me, but for the sake of this list, I wanted to highlight "I Believe In Magic". This song is dedicated to her son and her love for him. It is one of many deeply emotional moments on this record and I honestly already feel forever changed by the rest of The Great Impersonator . I'll save the rest of my thoughts for my upcoming review , but for now all I can say is I'm so happy she's still here with us & this album is proof of her continued strength. ⭐️✨️ "Everything is romantic featuring caroline polachek" // Ch

Room 93 by Halsey // 10 Year Anniversary Album Review

Image
Room 93 is the 2014 debut EP by Halsey , a collection of five songs written through the lens of a young woman who left it all behind to chase a dream far bigger than herself, all while trying to make sense of the world around her.  In an interview with  All Things Go Music  in 2014, Halsey described the concept of  Room 93  being inspired by her time living in a hotel room for the year spent making the EP. "I've formed romantic relationships and business relationships and friendships out of hotel rooms. What's weird about them is it’s like a stage setting, a fake place. It’s not a real environment," she said. "The EP is a narrative about how in a hotel room, because of the forced intimacy, you can either really be yourself for a bit or you can really be someone you're not. So it's about human relationships under the scope of that lab rat mentality, or security cam mentality." Certain visual themes shine through in this music; it's almost as if yo

1989 by Taylor Swift // 10 Year Anniversary Album Review

Image
1989 is the album that truly changed everything. Not only is it pure pop perfection, but it also served as a reintroduction of Taylor Swift that fully solidified her as the superstar we all know her as today. At the time she was making this album, she was 24 years old, cut off her hair and moved to  New York City  in search of a new look, a new life, a new soundtrack, and a new beat that she (and it turns out the rest of us) would be dancing to forevermore.  Anyone that knows me knows how much I adore  1989 , it has always been one of the most important albums for me, made up of sixteen songs that I have listened to probably more times than any other in my life. I could go on and on (and I will) about how much I love every single song from  1989 . I have found endless inspiration in it at every stage of my life throughout the past nine years, whether it is through the lyrics, visual aesthetics or the messages of this music. I was fifteen when it was first released and now that I'
