There Can Be No Absolution – What After This?

19 December 2019

It’s that time of year again, isn’t it?  

For westerners or even caucasian southerners the mood is definitely upbeat as people prepare for Christmas and the new year festivities.  But for those who are smack in the middle of the grieving process, it can be brutal…

Breathe Me – Sia

18 December 2019

It’s the last song of the year! It’s incredible how endings can feel so rupturing and sad sometimes, even if we know most of them are just based on arbitrary limits and cycles that were just constructions we invented to better organize ourselves…

Drift Away – Dobie Gray

18 December 2019

When I fell asleep last night, I hadn’t expected to add Dobie Gray’s “Drift Away” to my Music to Play in Your Vintage Mustang playlist. While I had already decided to add two songs before finishing off this year, it was The Velvet Underground’s “Oh! Sweet Nuthin” that had assured a spot on the playlist before traveling into the next decade…

Christmas Is All Around Us – Billy Mack (Love Actually Soundtrack)

18 December 2019

I can see it like yesterday. My mom and dad in the kitchen preparing the Christmas dinner and us kids decorating the tree with grandma. It feels like it was yesterday but in reality, the image I have in my head is from thirty-five years ago. Those were happy times. It’s easy to be a kid, isn’t it? Everything is catered to you. You can just enjoy it all. They’ll tell you when it’s time to eat and when it’s time for presents. You just show up…

You Gotta Be – Des’ree

18 December 2019

Still kicking yourself from 5 minutes ago, yesterday, 1 year ago – even 10?…

101 FM – Little Simz

18 December 2019

It was 2016 when I first heard about a rapper out of the UK by the name of Little Simz. I was put onto her music by way of a repost by Syd, front-woman of The Internet who’s featured on Simz 2016 album. “Stillness In Wonderland” is the title of her second album, but my first introduction to her music…

Branches – Fluida

18 December 2019

All this talk of the world ending just makes me laugh really.

Catch My Breath – Vern & Milla

17 December 2019

The track i’m reviewing today is from one of my favourite artists AND one of my favourite record label so this is very exciting for me…

Moon – Morosity

17 December 2019

Sometimes, as you power along in your pony with only the open road ahead, you start to pay attention to certain elements of whatever songs are keeping you company…

ghostin – Ariana Grande

17 December 2019

“We’ll get through this, we’ll get past this, I’m a girl with / A whole lot of baggage.” On “Ghostin,” a highlight from her stunning album, thank u, next, Grammy-winner Ariana Grande definitely has “a whole lot of baggage”…

Stop the Cavalry – Jona Lewie

17 December 2019

A Christmas hit in 1980, peaking at No.3 in the UK chart and winner of a prestigious Ivor Novello Award, Stop the Cavalry was an anti-war song for a world living in the shadow of the bomb, harking back to the slaughter of British soldiers on foreign battlefields, pawns in a game played by generals far from the front lines…

What Do You Stand For – Olivia Castriota

17 December 2019

“What Do You Stand For” by Olivia Castriota will give you life! An energetic voice, fiery instrumentals, and of course, a message of standing up for yourself makes the perfect song for empowerment…
