Virgin Album – Lorde
Virgin is an album that made me feel like I was floating all summer long and I am so intrigued by how much this analysis brought to my attention. Lorde is an artist in the most twisted and genius way. The choices that were used to make this album so special are incredibly smart and…

When first listening to select tracks on Man’s Best Friend, I thought “it’s a hit for sure.” In investigating further, I have realized that it is definitely an industry-specific hit.

The Dream Album – The Favors

She seems very happy with her current life situation…

Somebody Else
Shortly after Kansas Anymore (The Longest Goodbye) was released, Role Model released a Spotify Singles cover of “Somebody Else” by The 1975 on Spotify Singles. The original version of “Somebody Else” is a slower and sort of technical track that has recognizable hits of synth notes. It is a very repetitive and routine track. The…
