I’m getting back into artists like Fiona Apple and Norah Jones again. I came across both women somewhere in transition from middle school to high school. The life of a teenage girl is the most intense roller-coaster ride I have ever been forced on. (You want the story? Buy the book! Name that movie…) Maybe […]
My Mom sends the most adorable care packages! The Easter Bunny’s got nothing on her…or Peter Rabbit. Even though I couldn’t spend Easter Sunday with my parents and grandparents, my godmother invited me over for dinner which is always a lovely time. Sometimes I get so caught up in what I’m doing that I forget […]
Wild Belle siblings Natalie (vocals) and Elliot Bergman (multi-instrumentalist) use their Chicago roots to coalesce elements of rock and roll, jazz, reggae and a pinch of folk for an eclectic sound. The duo’s debut album Isles, out this month,sends listeners on a musical voyage with eleven fresh songs soaked with good vibes. Opening with their breakout single of […]
The Spirit Room may have been released way back when in 2001, but I am finding myself more connected to Michelle Branch’s music twelve years later. (Which totally makes sense since I was only 7 years old when she had maximum radio play.) Michelle Branch simply gets me, I don’t know how else to explain […]
For the record, I am a member of The Eagle staff. More than that, I am Assistant Editor of The Scene. So when anyone accuses the writers of yellow journalism, you are insulting me too and I don’t appreciate it. Oh, and as a survivor of Eagle Rants, I’m getting real tired of all the […]
In the midst of winter’s cold shoulder melting away, Ducktails’ (side solo project of Real Estate guitarist Matt Mondanile) latest album The Flower Lane brings listeners one step closer to spring with 10 songs blooming with groovy vibes. “Ivy Covered House” has a chill demeanor with a funky guitar that complements Mondanile’s lax vocals. It […]
I have been thinking about a lot of things lately, but after this weekend, my wave of thoughts have finally simmered down to a steady, easy flow. Like any driven person, l will always want more because I think I deserve the best that life has to offer me, but right now at this point […]
I consider this a throwback to the 90s… Today, Nylon announced that R&B-pop singer JoJo released a new music video. This can only mean one thing: SHE’S BACK. All of my musical obsessions from the 00s are returning and it feels so good: Aaron Carter, Justin Timberlake, Destiny’s Child…all I need is 3LW and I’ll […]
Super digging DIIV’s new music video. I suppose Zachary Cole Smith leaving Beach Fossils was for the best… I’m so lucky that I had the chance to see DIIV perform last summer- one of my favorite sets for sure. I’m also glad that I have seen Sky Ferreira up close and personal too. And now […]
I suppose this is more of a throwback, but now that I’m back from Spring Break, I’m feeling rather luxurious. I know my worth, and I am better than ever now that I am all caught up on sleep and well-fed. (Hahaha.) With a mind that is more focused and driven, I am ready to […]
