Hey fellow music fanatics! It’s that time of year again...what were some of your favorite songs this year? What about albums? I think Mercury - Act 1 by Imagine Dragons was probably my favorite. I created a playlist with some of my favorite songs of 2021, check out a list of my favorite tracks below:

Music: The EMOtional Playlist

You’ve probably heard the term “emo” being used to describe someone who seems to dwell in angst; emo is short for the word emotional. Emo people, similar to Cancerians tend to be extremely emotional and introverted. The emo lifestyle became mainstream in the early 2000’s but has been around for way longer, it’s basically a goth subculture. 

Feelings of anger, lost, regret, sadness, heartache and/or etc. can all be very difficult to get past and it oftentimes feels impossible in the moment, but with the right resources and self-motivation it definitely can be done. 

Music: Top Aretha Franklin Songs

Butterflies, is it me or does my family have a thing for life story type movie/shows? I shared a similar story about a different music artist a few Thanksgivings ago and here we are again. After dinner (which was delicious af btw), we all kind of chilled out and watched a few movies and because I’m a music fanatic, the one that interest me the most was Respect, the recently released movie about the life of 60s singer and Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin. Ms. Franklin was born on March 25th, 1942 (Aries) in Memphis, TN where she grew up with a heavy church influence. The film starred singer/actress Jennifer Hudson, Forest Whitaker, Marlon Wayans and Mary J. Blige.

Can’t believe it’s that time of year again. I don’t know if it’s just me, but this year is a big blur…seems like it went too fast. I am grateful for so much, a lot has happened this year and there’s a few experiences I’d love to share with you. Here are my 30 Days of Gratitude 2021 edition:

Music: Best Lifehouse Songs

One of my favorite alternative rock bands, Lifehouse released their first studio album No Name Face in October of 2000 which featured one of my favorite songs of all time, Somewhere In Between. My favorite Lifehouse album however is definitely Smoke & Mirrors. The first Lifehouse song that made me notice them was Whatever It Takes from their fourth studio album title Who We Are. Lifehouse was scheduled to be on tour last year with the Goo Goo Dolls but the tour got postponed due to Covid. Anyway, since I didn’t celebrate their 20th anniversary last year with a “best of post” I decided to do it this year…check out all of my favorite Lifehouse Songs to date below:
