April’s Anthems—The Best of Last Month’s Music
In many ways, April was the first month that felt inspired when it comes to music in 2019. Until now, the year has felt like it’s had patches of brilliance, but nothing to truly write home about. However, after the fourth month on the calendar, it feels like we’re truly underway when it comes to fantastic releases.

"Make it Better" by Anderson .Paak Review
Anderson .Paak is an artist that can do no wrong in my eyes. Whenever I do an Anderson .Paak review, I end up gushing emphatically for about 600 words, and for good reason. Sonically, he’s pleasing to listen to whether rapping, singing, or just talking honestly. The bridging of funk, R&B, soul, hip hop/rap (and gospel influences) allows him to create tracks that are incredibly pleasing to listen to, before even listening to the lyrics themselves. Enter his latest album, Ventura, released in mid-April, which has glowing reviews.

Dive Back into the 90s with the Offspring
Who doesn’t love to hear the nostalgic rhythm of the drums with the increasing guitar and bass riff that represents the punk era of the 90s? There are certain songs that when you hear it, you can remember a particular moment in time and space that is embedded in your memory that you totally forgot you even had that experience. "Gotta Get Away" is a nostalgic song for many age groups, including myself, a 20 year old female who grew up with a twin brother who loved all things music. This song brings me back to mp3 players with my next door neighbour but also to my first touch screen cell-phone, where I continued to listen and cherish artists of the punk rock genre.

The Most Romantic Playlist of the 21st Century
Oh, those romantic songs, the inseparable part of pop culture. Sometimes they are cheesy, and sometimes they are heartbreaking. Some of them are closer to feel-good songs, while others are so dramatic that you get the feeling that composers created a musical equivalent of tear gas. With thousands of dating sites, you may get confused with the topics to discuss when you meet girls online. While it's highly unlikely that you are going to discuss your musical preferences on the sites designed for hook-ups, this topic is still quite popular when you are getting to know each other better online. So, are there any special songs that you have to know? Of course, you can always count on your own musical taste, but if you want to impress your online date-mate, we've concluded the list of the most romantic songs of the 21st century that can easily make you stand-out among other online-daters. Mind that some of the choices may seem weird, but a pinch of oddity never killed anybody.

Billie Eilish: "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?"—A Review
Billie Eilish. Probably one of the most perplexing artists of this time. There is a lot about Billie Eilish that is not always clear; her music, her style, her actions. They just don't really match up.

Shortie: "Tints" Analysis
At first glance, "Tints" is a song about keeping a low profile while getting some head from a girl in the driver’s seat. But when you take a look at the video, and listen a bit more to the lyrics, it’s about much more than that. Rather, it's about all of the things people hide.

Tired
It’s been a couple of years since Squidge has released new music. With an outstanding response to their first EP, What’s The Point to Care? (including songs like "Disappear Reappear" and "On The Mend") and a lineup change, it’s a good job something is around the corner. And their next release is exciting.
