Underrated, Overlooked, and Forgotten: Sunday, April 26th, 2020
It’s a cloudy Sunday here as I listen to some songs to write about for the first edition of Underrated, Overlooked, and Forgotten. This is a new piece I’ll be writing every Sunday which goes over songs that I find are underrated, overlooked or forgotten.

Why Dua Lipa's "Don't Start Now" Is a Pop Masterpiece
Pop music is something that I can admit, at times, I am not fully versed in. There have been countless times when I’ll tune into Spotify’s hits list and I’ll be completely lost. Who are these names? Who are these features? I generally like pop oriented songwriting, but I find that a lot of pop music contains elements of songwriting that do not appeal to me. Yet, I still come back to pop music expecting at least a few great songs to come from it, and I’m always right. I generally find a good amount of songs to appreciate and maybe even add to my playlists.

Best of Last Year: Titanic Rising - Weyes Blood
Many artists seem to be incredibly invested in lyrical content nowadays, almost to the point where the musicality seems to falter because of that. Weyes Blood is a perfect example of someone who seems to hold musicality over lyrics, which, in the case of this album, is actually a good thing.
