No Sour Notes
A few weeks ago, I was sitting around a fire pit with my friends listening to Taylor Swift and I mentioned something that had been on my mind lately: Olivia Rodrigo could be the next Taylor. This is high praise, given the incredible levels of success Swift has reached in her career. Rodrigo had a […]

New Music Mondays: Alanis Morissette, Brandy and Becca Mancari
I am an unabashed fan of strong female artists. Tori Amos will forever be the queen of music, but Alanis Morissette is right up there in the pantheon for me. The seething angst of her first (and decidedly most famous) song “You Oughta Know” debuted right around the time I turned 13. I still have […]

5 On It: These Bolt Cutters are for You, Too
Fiona Apple’s music isn’t something you listen to once and understand it. It all builds on each other, and you need that background in order to properly appreciate what she’s been able to paint into words. I’ve had to spend some time with her new album, Fetch the Bolt Cutters, to truly digest the songs […]

Grande Feat or Fail?
Just six months after the release of her widely-acclaimed album, “Sweetener,” Ariana Grande dropped “Thank U, Next” in early February. Many artists take years or more to perfect new music, so it’s fair to wonder if that quick turnaround would allow “Thank U, Next” to live up to the hype generated by “Sweetener.” I put […]

Tailgate Society Music Review: Margo Price
For the most part, I tune out political and/or social commentary made by celebrities. Mostly, I doubt everything from their intentions to their ability to think outside of their narcissistic echo chamber.
