I’m only 24, but even as I cover pop culture extensively there have been a rapid increase in moments where I just feel impossibly old recently. With some pretty impressive sales numbers on this latest effort, apparently boy band Why Don’t We have had a massive fanbase for a couple years at this point – … Continue reading Why Don’t We – The Good Times And The Bad Ones

Taylor Swift – evermore
Taylor Swift might be the only person on earth having a truly productive 2020. Deep into re-recording her old songs in the midst of a dramatic custody battle for her masters and only four and a half short months after dropping her masterpiece, folklore, Swift has elected to release another set of tracks in the … Continue reading Taylor Swift – evermore
Shawn Mendes – Wonder
Fresh off a tumultuous world tour, a full-on dive into an almost too adorable relationship with fellow music superstar Camila Cabello and a Netflix documentary where he expressed burnout with the music industry, Canadian heartthrob Shawn Mendes has returned with his fourth studio album. It’s very easy to forget that Mendes is still only 22 … Continue reading Shawn Mendes – Wonder
Miley Cyrus – Plastic Hearts
There aren’t many who are as successful at grabbing attention than Miley Cyrus. After a series of whiplash-inducing career choices and an oftentimes highly questionable series of musical endeavours that saw her trying on different genres and aesthetics like they were a costume to be rapidly discarded and (somewhat offensively) disavowed shortly after the conclusion … Continue reading Miley Cyrus – Plastic Hearts
Bad Bunny – EL ÚLTIMO TOUR DEL MUNDO
After shattering streaming records with YHLQMDLG and its subsequent collection of B-sides earlier this year, Puerto Rican Latin trap superstar Bad Bunny evidently saw fit to drop a third collection of songs in 2020.

While Smith has primarily been … Continue reading Sam Smith – Love Goes
Ariana Grande – positions
Well, that “break” that she said she needed didn’t last very long.

Gorillaz – Song Machine, Season One: Strange Timez
If there’s one single benefit to the world that the Trump presidency has provided, it’s the fact that it has seemingly reignited Damon Albarn’s creative muscles in a major way. On virtual band Gorillaz’ third album in four years since taking an extended break for the better part of the decade, they once again take … Continue reading Gorillaz – Song Machine, Season One: Strange Timez
BLACKPINK – THE ALBUM
As K-pop continues to embed itself further and further into the culture on this side of the globe, there’s a definite argument to be made that BLACKPINK is the biggest girl group in the world at the moment. Thriving mostly off of shorter projects and coasting on the strength of their singles, outside of a … Continue reading BLACKPINK – THE ALBUM
