Album Review: "Middle of Nowhere" by Kacey Musgraves

"Middle of Nowhere" by Kacey Musgraves album cover
"Now you're lifting me up, 'stead of holding me down

Stealing my heart, 'stead of stealing my crown

Untangled all the strings, round my wings, that were tied

I didn't know him and I didn't know me

Cloud nine, was always out of reach

Now I remember what it feels like to fly

You give me butterflies"

Avid readers of this blog knows that as much as I adore music that there are few genres of music that I enjoy less than others. Two of those genres include Hip-Hop and Country music! However, there are still artist without those genres whose music I quite enjoy. For example, in terms of Rap music I enjoy J Cole, Kendrick, earlier Drake, Doechii, Nicki Minaj, Eve etc. In terms of Country music, there is Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood and the subject of this album review, Kacey Musgraves. Does this mean that I know her catalog like the back of my hand? No! Yet, I have been delighted with what I have heard so far especially her GRAMMY award winning album "Golden Hour". So when I discovered on Instagram that she was releasing her seventh studio album I knew that I had to give it a listen given that I missed out on her album "Star-Crossed" and "Deeper Well". So let us see what she has in store for us with her most recent album titled "Middle of Nowhere".

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. My discovery of the Canadian country artist Sacha can be counted as one of those life changing moments.

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...
