Track #8 off of Kiss & Tell, 2009 I will consistently forget that back in the day, Selena Gomez had a full blown band that she released three studio albums with but luckily there are a songs from that era that I will always remember. When to comes to these three albums, her first one,…
Single, 2020 What’s funny about AViT’s “Twitterloser” is that the first time I heard it, I was scrolling through Instagram and it was playing from a TikTok that was reposted on the platform. It was only a short snippet but instantly I thought, “I HAVE TO KNOW WHAT SONG THIS IS”. Luckily, the creator put…
Track #10 off of In This Skin, 2003 Jessica Simpson has a very interesting place in the history of 2000s pop music, and I say this mostly because I don’t think she ever got the recognition she deserves. Being labeled as another “blonde pop singer” despite the fact that she is an incredible vocalist always…
Track #3 off of Fandom, 2019 Upon first listen, I really, truly, absolutely HATED Waterpark’s “Dream Boy”. I deemed it a “Jonas Brothers knockoff” and complained that it remined me of a cheesy Disney song from the late 2000s. And yet, after a few years I revisited their third release, Fandom, and decided to give…
Track #5 off of Sports, 2012 Rarely ever do I regret NOT going to a concert; most of the time it’s the other way around where I realize I shouldn’t have spent the money and wished I didn’t buy tickets in the first place. But looking back on it, I wish I would have said…

Track #3 off of Can’t Stop Won’t Stop, 2008 There are people out there who think that for music to be “good”, it has to be artsy, intricate, or meaningful. But I’m here to say that a “good” song doesn’t have to be any of those things. Sometimes the most memorable songs are the ones…
Track #7 off of Bop City 2: TerroRising, 2017 Music in 2017 wasn’t great. I’m being completely serious. With the top songs including Ed Sherran’s “Shape of You” and the insufferable “Despacito”, I remember this point in music history as just being downright annoying. The production at this time was less than enthusiastic and everything…
Track #5 off of Where The Light Is: John Mayer Live In Los Angeles, 2008 Tom Petty songs are hard to cover, not because they’re necessarily intricate or difficult to sing but because not many people can replicate the same feeling he brough to his music. What made Tom Petty great as an artist was…
Track #5 off of I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it, 2016 The day The 1975 released their sophomore album is a day I’ll never forget, mostly because I was beyond excited for its release but also because at the time it was a trek for…
