Top Christmas Songs Ever
The season is upon us and no one is more excited than I am (as a Christmas baby and all.) This ol girl will be cuddling up to her fur babies, hot chocolate and the very finest in Christmas tunes. There is nothing better to put you in the mood than the liveliness of the season's music. I normally have music playing 24/7 and starting the first week of December it is mostly all kringle style. I love Christmas and everything about it. From apple cider to baking cookies to Christmas cards and decorating and the music! Here is a list of greats that you can listen to all season and/or watch the videos. Just subscribe and click.

Stray Kids' "Christmas EveL" reminds us of how fun K-pop Christmas songs can be
The announcement of Stray Kids' Christmas single came as a huge suprise to me. The eight-member ensemble has never released a holiday song before and I really had no idea what to expect. However, as soon as the teaser for "Christmas EveL" dropped earlier this month, I knew I was going to like it. What I didn't know though was that the song would end up being one of my favourite K-pop releases of the entire year. The track, which serves as the title song of the four-track single album of the same name, is brilliantly fun and an exceptional example of how experimental and interesting K-pop can be when it comes to Christmas songs.

Miss Prince
So what is this all about? Actually, it’s a personal review of one of my favourite albums., and a timely reminder that there is always great music around in the present as well as the past. Janelle Monáe's "Dirty Computer is a testament to that.

The Red Planet - Rick Wakeman album review
With all due respect, I got to say that this album came like a breath of fresh air. After many non-appealing releases by Rick Wakeman, this one was well received. This is my 20th (I think; I need to check) from his vast collection of music. I know, I’m only scratching the surface, it’s just that some of his previous efforts are not that interesting to my musical taste. Maybe is great music, but not what I’m looking for.

CalmandStrong: Ife-Daro
My top four favorite albums of all-time are in the genres of Hip-Hop and Reggae music. The number four means foundation, so my foundation best represents who I was in the past, who I am in present, and who I aspire to be in the future. My favorite music artists are Nas, The Pharcyde, Blu & Exile, and Chronixx, and they represent different time capsules in my life and through their music and lyrics, they captured what I was going through during those specific time periods in my life.

I Did It
I did it. I listened to Red. I'd been putting it off for a while; Taylor Swift fans have had our hands full these past few years, and it's a bit overwhelming. But the Swifties of Facebook gave me that much-needed push, and I finally took the plunge into the singer's fourth studio album.

"Still Over It" is a caution tale to every woman who could become the "4th Baby Momma"
I'm not going to lie to you, I'm not going to act like a professional reviewer like I should. I LOVE this album and that's probably going to be a problem for every man in my life.
