Music has the amazing ability to influence everything we do. Let these songs help you make the best of each day.
Just when you thought The 1975 couldn’t get more adventurous, it releases a metal song calling for people to fight back against the political issues plaguing the world in “People”; a track that makes you a part of your own western film, culminating with its controversial second line in “Roadkill”; three instrumentals; enough electronic tracks to last a lifetime; and more in its 22-track, 80-minute journey, Notes On A Conditional Form.
When someone hears the name Hayley Williams, they typically think of the powerhouse vocalist who carried them through their teen years via the iconic rock group Paramore. On her first solo project, Petals for Armor, however, she veers off into a more subtle approach. She and the frontwoman of Paramore aren’t the same — and, for the most part, that’s OK.
When Hazel English steps into a recording studio, she doesn’t know her ethereal vocals, down-to-earth lyrics and the transfixing instrumentation supporting it make for irreplaceable magic, but they do. With her debut LP, Wake UP!, English is, early in her career, setting the standard for dream pop.
Three years ago, when YouTuber AJayII uploaded her first reaction video that featured an outburst of emotion and a blatant love for the music she was listening to, neither she nor anyone else knew it was the beginning of the reaction queen’s reign.
As we continue to quarantine and look for activities to keep us busy, it’s easy to find humor as a sense of comfort. The vast array of users on the app TikTok do their best every day to make others laugh, smile and remind you there is still some good in the world right now. Here are the seven TikTok stars who are bound to bring some joy into your life during this strange time:
The long-reigning kings of pop punk in All Time Low, or ATL, have brought the world magic when it needs it most. As everyone continues to stay shuttered inside their homes, music has become more of a form of solace than ever before. ATL’s latest album, Wake Up, Sunshine, holds something for every mood, and it proves that after all this time, the band hasn’t skipped a single beat.
5 Seconds of Summer, or 5SOS, knows how to make a hit. From its debut single “She Looks So Perfect” in 2014 to the 2018 mainstream hit “Youngblood” and a couple more since, 5SOS has barely slowed down — only faltering to change its sound along the way. Its latest album, CALM, shows only flashes of 5SOS’ mainstream pop capabilities.
Conan Gray is so much more than a man in front of a camera. He’s gained roughly 1.82 million subscribers on YouTube by vlogging all about his life, but it can be easy to forget even the most recognizable, well-loved faces experience pain. Gray captivatingly channels all of that into his debut LP, Kid Krow.
As the members of One Direction continue to stray away from their boy band roots, some of them (namely, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson) have solidified themselves as disappointing solo acts. Niall Horan, with his second solo album, Heartbreak Weather, has proven he’s far from that.
When Jesse McCartney thanked the Baker Ballroom crowd and walked offstage, everyone knew he wasn’t done — and they weren’t ready for him to be, either.
Sophie Allison, who creates music under the moniker Soccer Mommy, can do no wrong. On her latest LP, the 10-track color theory, listeners watch her make sense of her own melancholia. It’s heart-wrenching and enthralling, and it provides what’s missing from most of the industry: feeling.
On the 20th episode of ‘Stay Tuned,’ hosts Bre Offenberger and Riley Runnells discuss toxic stan culture, Maria Sharapova’s retirement from tennis, how Disney+ is homophobic, the five-year anniversary of the dress debate and much more.
Perhaps the seven most recognizable faces in the world, who comprise the world-renowned K-pop band BTS, are back less than a year after releasing the seven-track EP Map of the Soul: Persona. However, BTS’ latest venture, the 20-track MAP OF THE SOUL : 7, is a step back from the musically profound road listeners were given just months ago.
On the 19th episode of ‘Stay Tuned,’ hosts Bre Offenberger and Riley Runnells discuss Jake Paul’s gross comments about anxiety, who should star in the upcoming Disney adaptation of Rapunzel, the fall of Justin Bieber, Lizzo and Harry Styles’ beautiful friendship and much more.
After undergoing a life-altering past couple years, which included his marriage to Hailey Baldwin and being diagnosed with Lyme disease, Justin Bieber surprised no one by titling his latest album Changes. It’s also no surprise the teenage heartthrob’s first album in half a decade makes listeners forget why they ever fell in love with him in the first place.
On the 18th episode of ‘Stay Tuned,’ hosts Bre Offenberger and Riley Runnells discuss our thoughts on the results from Sunday’s Academy Awards, Pete Davidson as a drag queen, Camila Cabello’s new music video for “My Oh My,” Matty Healy’s promise to only play gender-balanced festivals and much more.
On the 17th episode of ‘Stay Tuned,’ hosts Bre Offenberger and Riley Runnells, joined by special guests Molly Schramm and Chloe Meyers, discuss the biggest categories, snubs and their own predictions for the 2020 Oscars.
As the last member of the world-class British boyband One Direction to release a solo album, Louis Tomlinson knew he had to create something extraordinary. His efforts — though it’s not evident he even tried at all — fell extremely short, as his debut, Walls, is utterly forgettable and does nothing but put listeners to sleep, excluding a few sufficient moments.
On the 16th episode of ‘Stay Tuned,’ hosts Bre Offenberger and Riley Runnells discuss all the controversies from the Grammys, Dua Lipa being cancelled, Justin Bieber’s new single, what Kobe Bryant means to us and much more.
