A Quarantine Mixtape, Made Just For You. First Place in Quarantine Playlist Challenge.
If you're like me, binging episodes of Hulu's High Fidelity to distract yourself from COVID-19 chaos, you know how delicate the art of mixtaping is. You can't just mishmash a bunch of catchy tunes together...there are RULES. Do it right, and you can tell a great musical story through other people's creative genius.

Abstract Visuals and the Amplification of Music
The question “What the hell is this?” pops into my head more frequently than I can count. I am, however, able to track how many times I think “What the f*** is this?” With more urgency and power behind it, the latter question is warranted by a truly strange event during my day. On this day, it was watching the music video for “You’re Too Precious” by James Blake.

Take Me Away
Music has this crazy power to cut my mind and spirit off from the rest of the world. When I get anxious or stressed or overwhelmed, I know that I can pup in my headphones and drift off into a different plane of reality, whether that means headbanging along with DMX, jamming to the soul-shocking beats of Youngblood, or vibing to Billie Eilish.

Motivation
“Motivation” is a song of mine that’s going to give you what this world need which is motivation because you see our world is so caught up into subject when it comes to writing music and producing music until when things build-up that the music that we hear today just sounds like that same old type of style of music which is with no originality. When all this music industry just needs is nothing but all creativity and just singing so naturally until you feel it in your soul, you know, this is what the song is. Think about this; in general, this song here is so different and unique from my perspective because the music is original; to be honest, musically, this where my songs are going to stem. It’s going to sound unique but still innovative at the same time it's giving you a new style of old to further but more, and when you listen to this song, your listening to a sound of words that are going to make you want to look to every day. Then when you add my voice, you're going to flip out because my voice is not like anybody else voice, and it's different and unique. Listen to the genre within my sound and what sounds best fits me, but then again, I do prefer that sound pop with a hint of rhythm and blues. I may look pop more than anything, and so I can go on and on with this, and so the motivation behind this song will give it to you just right, and this song is going to set the tone for real. This here track is so uniquely the right track here. You wish to be able to stop listening to it, and it's a jam. You can just feel the vibe too and play over and over again and again and again. So back when you listen to this song, think about the song itself in words, the message, and how you feel in your heart where this song would fit into place within sharing in life like the song, because I know for sure that this song here can help people here get through the days and the years or as if to say this song could be played all over the radio to me. It may only happen when it comes to this one becoming a full-time hit or at least a famous top of the range sound of a track created through loops. Just because these are from circuits, that doesn’t mean it takes it away from the noise of having that original musical effect. We all know that a sound in music or the melody of the track can have that effect on a listening ear because you know what just think about it when a person is listening to a song the main thing is to key in on the words, melody, and best. From a person to listening to a good song that becomes a hit from continually listening to the song that makes that person want to keep listening to the song shows that the song that their listening to over and over can become a hot just like that who sings the song a millionaire because of that one good song, so, the person as the music artist should be making hit after hit after hit just through that person listening to that one song over and over to reach at the top of the peak in this music industry in many many many years to come.

Harlem Artist R3FRENCE Releases His First Single of 2020 “Apocalove”
From R3FRENCE Thank God for artists. I wanted the cover art for my upcoming single to have a warmth. MayBe So was about trauma, but Apocalove is about trust. Through her gorgeous oil painting, @mdexna_ is helping capture that. And you’ll be able to see the finished product while you’re listening to the new track this Wednesday. These lyrics were not written during the pandemic—but we could all use a warm hug right now. Hopefully, this song will feel like one. Finally, we can love again. I’m thinking of you like normal.

Why Dua Lipa's "Don't Start Now" Is a Pop Masterpiece
Pop music is something that I can admit, at times, I am not fully versed in. There have been countless times when I’ll tune into Spotify’s hits list and I’ll be completely lost. Who are these names? Who are these features? I generally like pop oriented songwriting, but I find that a lot of pop music contains elements of songwriting that do not appeal to me. Yet, I still come back to pop music expecting at least a few great songs to come from it, and I’m always right. I generally find a good amount of songs to appreciate and maybe even add to my playlists.

Song Review: Whiny Lyrics Overshadow Solid Disco Pop of Level of Concern
If you thought ghosting was bad, imagine someone using the quarantine as a method of break-up. That’s kind of the premise of the new Twenty Pilots jam, Level of Concern. In the song, the singer wants his beloved to address his level of concern regarding their relationship. She appears to ignore his plea and he becomes more and more desperate, paranoid and concerned as the song goes on.
