Why We Should Stop Comparing Prince and Michael Jackson
Years after the abrupt death of Michael Jackson in 2009, and then Prince in 2016, their presences in the music industry continue to be resurrected and commemorated today. Prince and Jackson have etched telltale signs of their existence all over the world through the impact of their artistry, and how it has evolved music. They left melodious sensations in their wake, not to mention the legacies of their personas.

Taylor Swift's Best Visuals (Pt. 2)
"Taylor Swift is a lyrical genius," someone once said. Her songs captivate you in ways you would never imagine. While her songs are the best lyrical representations of her life, her music videos provide us with marvellous visual representations of her songs. Her array of music videos shows us many aspects of her faceted life and today I am sharing a few of my favourites as a respect to her.

Timmy Xu—the Future Star You Need to Hear. Top Story - November 2018.
It takes a lot for me to be truly captivated by an artist. Sure, there are lots of bands or acts I listen to for various purposes, such as for background music whilst cleaning, or to relive an old memory; but to truly enjoy an artist and all they have to offer, I have to feel connected to the music.

Taylor Swift's Best Visuals (Pt. 1)
Taylor Swift has a vast amount of creativity. This is not only reflected in her amazing songwriting skills but also in her input of ideas in her music videos. As Joseph Khan (one of the directors of her music videos) said, "Taylor has input in almost everything." From the story to the costumes to the way the scenes should be depicted, Taylor is involved in almost everything. And this, of course, translates to a wonderful collection of beautiful music videos.

What Happened to the Old Legends?
Whether it was in the past or in the present, there wasn't any celebrity who people claimed were "perfect." Actually, there probably were people who did say that but had little to no knowledge of that person. I realize talking about this topic is sort of controversial but it all comes straight from my opinion. What I really noticed from this topic is that the old singers put passion into their music, not so people could relate, or so they could get big money, but so they could make themselves happy and sing their heart out. Now, don't get me wrong, there are singers who do put passion into their music, but I have seen more singers that you can just tell put very little effort in their music and didn't write it themselves. A good majority of the popular songs today that I hear have no creativity or anything, shouting out at you to love the song—while all I hear is a decent tune with an auto-tuned voice.

For the Love of Lars
I was introduced to punk rock in 2004 by my now husband. He showed me SLC Punk and, at 21, it instantly changed my life. I had felt lost and alone for years, even if I was surrounded by people that loved me. I was not whole. SLC was like getting punched in the gut while having the brightest light you can imagine flashing in your face. It was loud, violent, chaos... It was beautiful and my missing link. Punk rock had been hiding inside me waiting for the right person to wake up the beast.
