【catch-up】#001

It’s been a long week and a half, excuse my inactivity beautiful readers….I may or may not have taken up a fantastic new game that has stolen most of the spare time I normally dedicate to maintaining this blog, but fear not!  I’ll do my best to keep you posted on what’s going on in music~

Anywho, here’s the latest :

• SOPHIE’s new LP “Oil of Every Pearl’s Un-insides” was phenomenal and I can’t stop listening to it.  Full review/rate up soon.  I should have had it done the week of release, but I spent more time relistening and digesting it than trying to put words on it.
• The Beyonce/Jay-Z collaborative album seemed to be another colossal pop history event, but ended up completely missing the mark and breaking Bey’s streak of #1 debut albums.  Imagine losing to 5 Seconds of Summer…..(stifled laughter)
• Xtina’s album (mini rate here!) actually did decent in sales, which is nice considering she hasn’t had much of a mainstream presence in the last few years.

New city pop unit Way Wave has debuted with a wonderfully relaxing and soulful 7″ single.  Check the video out!
