One of the glories of the modern day is the instant access to millions of pieces of music at the touch of a button.

Regardless of the “archaic-ness” of these ways of listening, things like cassettes, CDs, and especially vinyl records have seen a massive comeback in the past few years.

Looking back at love songs of years past, there is a stark contrast between how they are written throughout the decades. However, one thing that has stayed the same is the dominance of happy songs highlighting the brighter sides of romance.

This past Sunday CBS hosted the 68th Grammys Awards. Along with all the awards given, viewers were also eager to see the 18 performances held that night. Here are my recapped thoughts on each, ranking the performances based on stage presence, set design, vocals, creativity, and if it lives up to the expectations given from the studio recordings.
As the Grammys quickly approach, one of the most anticipated and prestigious awards given is the “Best New Artist” award. This honor serves to shine the spotlight on emerging musical talent that has shifted the tides of music trends this year. In past years, many big-name artists have received this award, such as Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, Evanescence and even The Beatles, who were nothing but specs of dust in the charts once. This year the artists in competition are Olivia Dean, KATSEYE, The Marías, Addison Rae, sombr, Leon Thomas, Alex Warren, and Lola Young.
This past month, the critically acclaimed Netflix series “Stranger Things,” created by Matt and Ross Duffer, reached the climactic conclusion to its 5th and final season.
