    Ep. 238 - Dua Lipa Top 10
    May 3 2024
    Dua Lipa has released her 3rd album, Radical Optimism. She's worked hard the past decade to pursue pop/dance music, and likes passing along relationship lessons learned along the way in her lyrics. I made a top 10 countdown of her hits, and share my album critique.

  • Ep. 237 - The Tortured Poets Department - Review

    Ep. 237 - The Tortured Poets Department - Review
    Apr 27 2024
    Taylor Swift released her 11th album on 4/19/24: The Tortured Poets Department, and an expanded double album 2 hours later: The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology! Even with 31 songs at our fingertips, reviews are mixed between Swifties and the media. This caused a 3rd Amazon Music version doing track by track commentary on the original. "Delicately" sharing my honest review, I recap Taylor's 2023 events, analyze TTPD, and which songs I like from both versions.

    Power vocalists Teddy Swims and Benson Boone, followed similar paths in music. They both found their voice in high school, sang cover songs online, got signed to Warner Records, and are now global pop singers with a #1 hit! I discuss the events leading up to Teddy Swims' "Lose Control" and Benson Boone's "Beautiful Things".
