Album Review: "American Heart" by Benson Boone

I will admit that I was severely late on the Benson Boone train. Although I watch American Idol on and off, I missed his brief stint on the show so my introduction to him was via his 2024 hit "Beautiful Things". At first I thought the song was rather annoying especially because of the hooting and hollering done on the chorus. However, eventually the song recently grew on me to the point I can say without shame that I quite enjoy it. Even-though my initial thoughts on "Beautiful Things" changed, I still didn't listen give his album "Fireworks & Rollerblades" that was released the same year. Additionally, it may have seem that this pattern would continue as I was unaware of his sophomore album being released or that he had released singles to promote the aforementioned album. That was until they was a slight controversy on social media where people were debating his album cover and what it symbolized. Naturally, the scandal peaked my interest and nudge me towards finally listening to a full body of work by pop newest favourite gymnast. Let's see what he has in store for us this time!

Woman in The Mirror by Sacha album cover Ads can be such a nuisance! However, we have all had a moment where those pesky advertisements can be life changing.

Album Review: "June" By De'Wayne

"june" by DE'WAYNE album cover "She's a synthesizer, Orchestrates the band, She's got the whole world, Wrapped around her finger, She's a synthesizer, Baby don't you understand, She's my heaven she's my earth, She's my woman she's my man." Lyrics taken from  https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/dewaynejackson/synthesizer.html The song "synthesizer" was how I was introduced to the wonderful artist called De'Wayne. I came across a snippet of the video on Twitter and decided to give the song a listening ear and I instantly feel in love. This new discovery filled me with so much joy because as an avid music listener I  always seek to expand my musical horizons to listen to genres I usually do not follow. Therefore, coming across a Rock N Roll artist that I instantly liked was so exhilarating. I listened to the song until my own ears and music player got fed up with me and was even more elated when I discovered he was releasin...
