Finding the Rhythm: Exploring the Beat in Music
Music has been a part of human culture for thousands of years, and one of its most fundamental elements is the beat. The beat is the steady pulse that underlies a piece of music, providing a framework for the other musical elements to fit into. It is what makes music feel rhythmic and gives it a sense of momentum and energy.

Multi-Hyphenate Actor, Recording Artist, and Filmmaker Amir Royale Drops Seductive Single “Pruane” (feat. Lulu Kirtchuk and Devereaux)
From Amir Royale I’ve tasted toxicity. I’ve lusted after romance in a way that may have been unhealthy for a couple of years. I’ve misunderstood cues during intimacy before but have also had partners not reciprocate my passion or attention to detail. “Pruane” is about being in that center space between ‘DTF buddies’ and ‘soulmates.’ That unspoken sense of attachment intertwined with the minutiae of apathy. Somewhere smack in the middle of possessive and protective, sexual and sensual, in-love and out of it. We search for the love we think we deserve – and the people that are right for us; we often overlook or undervalue them. Maybe one day I’ll finally start getting all this stuff right. ‘Til then, I’m content sitting still. Walk good, take care. 🌺❤️🩹🌺

Why "Bad Dreams" by Cannons is a relationship closure song
The thing about music is that you choose what you take away from it. I've talked about Cannons before and how they impacted the music scene to make a name for themselves through the pandemic. Fire For You is a great tune about how drained you feel putting your energy into someone who wouldn't do the same. Hurricane is a fantastic anthem about making a comeback, but Bad Dreams doesn't get enough credit for how it's a softer and stronger song than the rest.

Is Walking 500 Miles (And Then 500 Miles More) Really Romantic?. Top Story - February 2023.
I love The Proclaimers. Really, I do. Craig and Charlie Reid. They are Scottish. They are twins. They are fantastic singers, write beautiful pop songs, often with very pointed socio-political lyrics and have at least one bonafide end-of-party singalong anthem in "I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)".

Trainor & Tink: Made You Look
At age 92 my mother still styles herself as a coquettish cross between Tinkerbell and Meghan Trainor. Once I figured that out I had the tools to break into the mental loops she gets stuck in with dementia that’s suddenly wiped away her memory and abilities as the result of a tiny tumor growing in the space between her brain and her skull called a Meningioma. Don’t worry, this is going to be a feel-good read. Let’s get into it.
