Originally released on his 2022 album Stick Season, Noah Kahan's "Everywhere, Everything" is set against a looming apocalyptic backdrop, yet it still carries a distinct warmth and serves as a reminder that even if the world is falling apart, there's still something sacred about choosing to love anyway. "We didn't know that the sun was collapsing, 'til the seas rose and the buildings came crashing," he sings in the first pre-chorus.
This song is grounded in Noah's signature folk sound, with such a sweet and nostalgic tone. It also holds an inherent sadness, but so much sincerity and hope at the same time. "Everywhere, everything, I wanna love you 'til we're food for the worms to eat," he sings in the chorus. "'Til our fingers decompose, keep my hands in yours". It's such a profound lament on life, love, and death. It captures both the fragility of being human, as well as the eternal strength of loving someone so deeply.
There's a warmth and familiarity woven throughout too, especially in lines like, "Drive slowly, I know every route in this county, maybe that ain't such a bad thing, I'll tell you where not to speed." It captures a distinct intimacy in the smallest, most ordinary ways, which is where Noah's songwriting always shines the brightest.
In 2023 as a part of the re‑released deluxe album, Stick Season (We'll All Be Here Forever), Noah introduced several new collaborations and reimagined duets with artists like Post Malone, Kacey Musgraves, and more. "Everywhere, Everything" was re‑envisioned with Gracie Abrams, and that collaboration brought the song to life in such a new, beautiful way. The duet offered a new perspective and added layer of emotion to the track, which made the timeless message even more powerful.
"Everywhere, Everything" works so naturally as a duet, turning the verses into a conversational ode to love, with both of their voices echoing the same devotion back and forth.
Anti simultaneously marked the beginning and end of a creative era for Rihanna in many ways. She went into the creation of this album intentionally wanting to make the antithesis of all that had come before in her discography. Rihanna's catalog is truly one of the strongest and most impactful in contemporary music, no one else has had the run of iconic hits that she had from the mid-2000s through the 2010s. It is truly incomparable, as she dominated the industry in a way very few artists ever have. With that being said, Rihanna was never really considered an "album artist", so to speak. She had countless incredible singles, but most of her full-length albums didn't carry the same strength all the way through. A lot of them were built around the singles and the tracklist didn't always match the level of those standalone hits. They were more of a sum of their parts. With this release, she wanted to step away from the polished, radio-friendly pop sound she'd be...
"No One Noticed" by The Marías explores themes of longing for human connection and isolation in the digital age, while yearning for someone to finally see her the way a lost love once did. Lamenting for the past and what could have been she sings, "No one tried to read my eyes," she sings in the second verse, "No one but you, wish it weren't true". This song poignantly captures the distinct sense of isolation that comes from being surrounded by room full of people, yet still feeling completely alone, as well as the notion that others may never fully grasp the depth of your inner thoughts and struggles in those moments. It was featured as the eleventh track on The Marías' 2024 sophomore album, Submarine , which was one of my favorite new music discoveries from last year. "I remember just waking up one morning and sitting on my bed grabbing the guitar and just starting to play. The windows were open the birds, were chirping like it was just a...
After Harry Styles ' record breaking release of his sophomore album Fine Line in late 2019, he is finally back and better than ever with his new album Harry's House ! It was written, produced, and performed primarily with his frequent collaborators Kid Harpoon and Tyler Johnson - along with Sammy Witte and Mitch Rowland on a few - at the start of the pandemic in 2020 up until he embarked on the US leg of Love On Tour last Fall. This album opens up a new side of Harry that we haven't heard from him before, while still incorporating many of the same musical elements we all know and love from past work. "I wanted to make an acoustic EP, all in my house, and make it really intimate. It’s named after the Japanese pop pioneer Haruomi Hosono, who had an album in the ‘70s called Hosono's House . I immediately started thinking about what Harry’s House might look like. It took time for me to realise that the house wasn’t a geographical location, it was an internal thing,...
With "Nice To Each Other", Olivia Dean adds a beautiful layer of hope to her sophomore album The Art of Loving . The track captures the in‑between phase of a relationship, the space where things may not be long‑term, but still carry meaning and joy in the moments shared together. Modern love is represented with a light and airy approach, which shines through both in the music itself and in the attitude she conveys in her performance. She embraces the idea that casual relationships can still be meaningful, regardless of how long they last or how traditional they may seem. "Nice To Each Other" celebrates these fleeting yet impactful connections, balancing emotional depth with lighthearted charm. The vivid imagery, like quick getaways to Italy and the overall chaos of a whirlwind romance like this, centers the song's overall breezy tone. In the second verse, Olivia sings, "I don't know where the switches are, or where you keep the cutlery, and I'll ...
"Pool", the opening track of Samia 's 2020 debut album The Baby , is a haunting and introspective introduction that sets the emotional tone for the rest of the project. It's a slow burn that focuses on fleeting intimacy in such a vulnerable way. While the rest of The Baby is more varied stylistically, "Pool" beautifully represents so many of the themes that recur throughout the rest of the album. The Baby feels thoughtfully bookended by "Pool" and the closing track, "Is There Something in the Movies?" as well. "Pool" opens with her grandmother, also named Samia, singing a song she used to sing to her as a child, which is such a deeply personal and grounding way to begin the album. In a track-by-track breakdown of The Baby , Samia told Flood Magazine that "Pool" is about "hiding away with someone in a stranger's house in Texas for a few days, spending most of it staring at the moon from the pool, knowing fu...
