Listen Up

Anyone that has had any sort of a conversation with me can tell you, I will completely geek out when it comes to two topics: music and business. I just feel all the feelings when it comes to music.

I'm not ready to delve into the business part just yet, but something I wanted to do on here is post about whatever music I've been listening to each week. It may or may not be new, but it will definitely be stuff that makes me happy. I've always been the type of person where my clothes and music match whatever is going on in my life (and/or the weather for some weird reason). So hopefully I will introduce you to some new/old music. Or you can tell me what horrible taste I have in music (and if you do this, you better tell me what you are listening to so I can be enlightened). I'm good with either.

Chanel West Coast / Dead Sara / Lapsley / Joy Wave

1. Chanel West Coast: I feel like this might require some explaining*. I saw a video on TMZ of this girl freaking out and name dropping Drake at Coachella. Then I remembered she was also the girl from the Rob Dyrdek show that was a guilty pleasure of mine a while ago. Then I heard the song 'Alcoholic' and lost it.

Lyric choice: And I can't even call it, every time I drink, I drink like an alcoholic 

Last week was one of those weeks where I could relate.

*Just a heads up. I have a deep love for rap. The dirtier and more curse words better. Also, the older the better I find.

2. Dead Sara: I am heading out to LA in a few months for a mini solo vacation and was looking around for shows to see while I am out there. I stumbled across this band and I kind of love it. Sometimes you should need music that makes you lose it.

Lyric Choice: You see it, You want it, You love it, You got it, Nothing can take you from all that was ruined, Anything now, Anything you feel 

3. Lapsley: This came up on some random playlist on Spotify, but I'm digging it. Also just learned she's 17. I was reading Hanson message boards when I was 17. So obviously she's winning the 17 game right now.

Lyric Choice: Because you took something away from yourself, Come back to this route and take your heart to higher self 

4. JoyWave: This one is new and I loooooooove this album. It's just poppy and fun and a contrast to everything else I've been listening to lately. I just - every song on this album. So good. Check this one out if you don't listen to anything else.

Lyric Choice: The say I'm the only one, who can be brave, That I am the chosen one, but there is no way, That I am the only one, and there's no one to save, If there's nowhere for them to run.

*Also a serious let down to get into someone, find out they are coming to your town, and the show is already sold out.
