REVIEW: Halsey – ‘Badlands’
September 4th, 2015 MJ Rawls Artist: Halsey Album: Badlands Genre: Pop Throughout my first listens of Badlands, I don’t know if I would call it an album in a traditional sense.

REVIEW: Carly Rae Jepsen – ‘E•MO•TION’
August 31st, 2015 Drew Caruso Artist: Carly Rae Jepsen Album: E•MO•TION Genre: Pop We live in a very saturated world. One filled with the over-commercialization of art, trends, clothing, technology, everything. When something takes off, it soars to a point far beyond want, desire, or demand, but, within this generalization of “needing” too much, there is a romanticism buried beneath […]
