'I'm Fine'
If this song sounds familiar from the beginning that means that you are probably familiar with their other song entitled "Save Me." And in a way it's like an "answer" song to "Save Me" as well.

Music Review: 'Time'—Louis Cole
If you've paid any attention to bands like Snarky Puppy, KNOWER, or any type of jazz or nu-jazz artists, then you've probably heard of the name Louis Cole. He's a founding member of KNOWER and has done lots of collaborations with people over the years. If you still don't know him, you probably know him from his song "Bank Account" that became a meme for a brief stint.

Why Female Empowerment Pop Songs by Men Miss the Point. Top Story - August 2018.
I love pop music. But every now and then, I find a song that I can totally bump to… until I stop and listen to the lyrics. That’s when I get irrationally angry. And those are not rap songs. Rap has made its money demeaning women and promoting violence ever since I was born. No. I'm looking at you, Shawn Mendes and James Arthur.

'Paris,' by The 1975
“Paris,” an underdog song from The 1975’s sophomore album I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful yet So Unaware of It, sets a dreamlike trance on whoever listens to it. The dreamy synth pop beat manages to overshadow the lyrics, where the dream like song takes a turn towards a more nightmarish state. Throughout the course of the album, frontman Matty Healy manages to sing about various hardships in his life, from his mother’s postpartum depression (“She Lays Down”) to the death of his grandmother (“Nana”), but “Paris” is the one song that anyone who’s ever been in love can relate to.

Sabrina Claudio Bares Her Soul in "Messages From Her". Top Story - August 2018.
Miami-born R&B singer-songwriter Sabrina Claudio is back with a new single from her upcoming debut album No Rain, No Flowers. Claudio's new single, "Messages From Her," consists of sultry vocals, a catchy yet beautiful melody, and lyrics that shine a light on Claudio's phenomenal songwriting abilities. "Messages From Her" differs from Claudio's recent songs from her EP, Confidently Lost. Most of the songs from her EP shined a light on sexuality, liberation, and independence. Although it is not clear what the themes will be for her upcoming album, it is clear from "Messages From Her" that it will touch on self-reflection, and happiness. It is unlikely that Claudio will shy away from her signature sensual style on the new album.

'You Should See Me in a Crown' by Billie Eilish
On Wednesday, July 18, 2018, American teenage singer Billie Eilish released a song titled “You Should See Me in a Crown.” The song was first teased by Billie back in June. The song’s artwork was also leaked two days before the sudden drop of the song. The cover art features a crown and spiders, which is a recurrent theme on Billie’s instagram. This song offers a very different sound compared to the rest of her music. “You Should See Me in a Crown” has a heavy beat mostly offering bass throughout the choruses. The song starts out light with very little instrumental like we are used to with her music, but as soon as the chorus starts we are switched to a new style from Billie. The transition from the heavy chorus to lighter verses are executed very well and help the song tell a story, which aids in defining the meaning of the song.
