Song Review: 'Bigger Love' is the Song We Need Right now
After experiencing Drake’s nihilistic capitalism on Toosie Slide and the soullessness Doja Cat’s Say So, John Legend’s Bigger Love is the perfect palette cleanser. Bigger Love is a breath of fresh pop air after gagging on the most recent entries in my music review career. Bigger Love sounds modern in ways so many other pop stars have rejected lately. Legend fuses afro-beats, reggae and R & B in a tasty pop gumbo.

'My Life Juice' at Sayen Gardens
Filmed at Sayen Gardens, a lovely, scenic, peaceful park in Hamilton, NJ, this is a live performance of a song I wrote called, 'My Life Juice'. Tommy Bartlett of T Productions came up with the idea for me to walk towards the camera around the path as I sang and played the song on guitar. As you can see, it was a beautiful day, and he was able to capture a rare moment where I exercised while performing. Being that this video is at least 5 years old, it shows a more immature side of me as far as singing the song goes.

Song Review: 'Say so' By Doja Cat is the Worst Song of the Year
Why do I hate this so much? That’s what this review will attempt to uncover. What is it that makes me utterly loathe Doja Cat’s Say So? Even when I reviewed Toosie Slide by Drake I didn’t actively wretch while listening to it. That’s just a bad song. Say So transcends being merely bad into a realm of awful that I am not sure I have experienced before. The lyrics are incomprehensible, the beat turns disco into a death march and that rap break! My God, that rap break. The horror… The horror.

Song Review: 'Toosie Slide'Why Do People Like Drake?
Drake is truly a phenomenon that remains a mystery to me. I’ve attempted reviews of Drake before and they’ve all degenerated into a confused string of expletives as Drake’s appeal continued to elude me. Now that he has the number one song in America once again I have to try again to crack the code of Drake. Oh, this is a challenge. Toosie Slide is yet another baffling bit of nonsense in which Drake sleepily name drops fashions and Michael Jackson.

'Make This Moment Last' by Jim Gaven
This live version of an original song, 'Make This Moment Last', was captured using an iMac in 2008 while I was living in New Hampshire for a brief period. As you can see from the footage, it is a little grainy. However, this was a brand new mainframe computer which captured the best it could at that time. Written about someone I was dating between 2005 and 2008, I thought this was the person I was supposed to spend the rest of my life with. It is a song about the feelings you might have for that special someone where you never want the time spent with them to come to an end. Have you ever felt like that? It is an amazing feeling. To me, it's nothing short of what eternity might be like--feeling at peace with everything and everyone for years and years to come. It is my belief that there is no concept of time in eternity, so one moment may actually be 1000 years.

Music Review: Kelly Clarkson 'I Dare You'
Sincerity in pop music is tricky. In the wrong hands, sincerity becomes saccharine, cloying or manipulative. It takes a well established and beloved artist to offer something heartfelt and intended for uplift. Kelly Clarkson, in my opinion, is one of the few modern pop stars capable of pulling off sincere. Kelly has cultivated a persona that is genuine, trusted, occasionally divisive but always appearing authentic.

11 Songs To Listen To On A Rainy Day.
Recently, two days ago, it was raining cats and dogs outside, and the weather was being a pain to the muscles in my legs and arms. While I was listening to my professor’s lecture on Zoom yesterday evening, I was starting to feel tired, so I fell asleep. When I woke up, my screen was black, and that’s when I realized that the session was over. I got out of my bed and noticed that it was still raining from that morning.

Song Review: 'Circles' by Post Malone is Pop Perfection
I would not say I qualify as a fan of Post Malone. I haven’t heard much of his music, despite his ubiquity, and I haven’t given much thought to what I have heard. Premise established, I love Circles. I adore this song. Yes, Circles is a very, very simple song. Yes, there isn’t anything groundbreaking in lyric or sound. I cannot stop listening to Circles. The tight bass line, the feathery light guitar and organ. I love it.
