Jack Antonoff has been one of my favorite musicians for so many years, and recently I had the most incredible experience when I was invited to a special event in celebration of his band Bleachers' new album Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night in New York City! Not only is Bleachers one of my favorite bands ever, but I also absolutely love all of the different albums he has co-written and produced with artists like Taylor Swift, Lorde, Lana Del Rey, St. Vincent and many others through the years. His music has truly become the soundtrack of my life ever since I was about 15 years old, so getting the chance to talk to him and be a part of such a special event like this is something I still can't believe actually happened!  About a week prior to this, Bleachers posted a link to submit questions to Jack on a Google Doc, so I filled it out not really thinking it would go anywhere, at the most I figured it would be answered in some kind of  Twitter or YouTube Q&A. A few days ...

"Talk Talk (Remix) // Charli xcx & Troye Sivan In honor of Charli and Troye 's joint SWEAT Tour kicking off this month, they released a new BRAT remix of "Talk Talk" which is so iconic! It also features a cute cameo from Dua Lipa at the beginning and end speaking in French and Spanish. I love that Troye really transformed it into a completely different song, but one that is still just as great as the original. Charli also finally announced the full BRAT remix album too, with every song from the original being reworked into something completely new and different. All of the remixes that have been released so far have been nothing short of perfection!  Brat and it's completely different but also still brat  is set to be released this October and I am veryyyyy excited to hear it! Check out my full review of BRAT by Charli xcx! "Ego" // Halsey "Ego" is about Halsey breaking down the two sides of herself - Halsey, the popstar persona, and As...

"Carla's Song" by Harry Styles Kiss All The Time, Disco Occasionally  is here and it is such an incredible return to one of the defining artists of our time. One undeniable career highlight for Harry is the album's final track, "Carla's Song" . It's hard to even put into words how special this song is. It feels like a celebration of the music that shapes us and the people who enter our lives and change the way we listen, share, and connect. There's something so moving about the way he captures that exchange; how you show someone the songs you love, and they show you theirs, and suddenly your world is bigger because of it. It also feels like a beautiful reflection of the relationship between artist and listener, and the way he understands what his music represents to so many people right now in the moment, and also the ways in which this art will outlive all of us. As a closing track, it's powerful, emotional, and unlike anything I've hear...

After a few months of delays, the 64th annual Grammy Awards were finally held in Las Vegas over the weekend. This year's show celebrated so much of the amazing music that has been released in the past year. Each category was really stacked with great releases, making it impossible to predict who would've ultimately won. The show overall didn't feel like it had as many memorable moments like it has in the past, especially in comparison to last year's show , but there were still some highlights that were worth sharing, both from the red carpet and the show itself.  The show opened with a performance by Silk Sonic, which is made up of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak, with their song "777". They were some of the most notable winners of the night, winning both Song of the Year and Record of the Year for "Leave The Door Open". In their acceptance speech, Anderson said, "We are really trying to remain humble at this point, but in the industry we call th...
