Photo credits: iStock/Getty Images Physical media has been on the rise again lately, experiencing a resurgence of interest as individuals build their collections of various items like CDs, vinyl, cassettes, and DVDs. If you're on social media, you've probably noticed this trend spreading wildly and maybe wondered to yourself why suddenly everyone is buying outdated media. To help answer that question, we've explored the reasons for this renewed interest and compiled them in this article, "The Resurgence of Physical Media: Why Physical Media is Making a Comeback." One of the main reasons people are becoming more interested in building their physical collections again is because they have a desire to have true ownership of the media they consume. Streaming and digital purchases have been leaving audiences scorned as licenses run out and different things like songs, movies, TV shows, and video games are no longer available on certain platforms. This can get quite frustrating when you've paid for something digitally just to have access to it ripped away. Building a physical collection of media to consume can help remedy this issue as you can always pop in a DVD or CD instead of having to hope that services like Netflix or Spotify won't take away access to your favorite show or song. Photo credits: iStock/Getty Images Streaming prices are another reason people are turning to physical media again. There have become too many streaming services to keep up with these days and it's frustrating when each one has some kind of exclusive content; some shows or movies are only available on a certain platform, leading people to need several different streaming services to keep up with the content they're interested in. With all the streaming services charging several dollars a month to subscribe, it can really blow a budget and make certain media inaccessible. Physical media helps with this as people have been able to find some of the content they're interested in cheaper through thrift stores or used marketplaces. Another huge reason consumers are finding themselves interested in physical media again is because of nostalgia. Many of us grew up in a day and age when physical media was king. We'd watch movies on VHS tapes or DVDs, listen to music on CDs, or game with game cartridges. There's a certain tactile appeal to handling the physical platforms we used to consume, letting us yearn for when times seemed simpler. Even if someone didn't grow up with certain physical media platforms, there's still a novelty to collecting and it creates a pretty cool aesthetic. It's also safe to say many of us are feeling fatigued when it comes to this digital age. We're constantly connected to screens and are victims to social media algorithms, so it's nice to be able to unplug from being online and consume media the old-fashioned way. Physical media can help with digital detoxing, something many of us struggle with as there's so much content constantly available at our fingertips. Moving towards using more physical media has been helping many individuals create healthier habits and switch to a more meaningful way of consuming content. Are you starting to shift away from digital media to physical again? What collections are you interested in building? Let us know on our socials!

Emily O'Neal's tears fall with a splash of sarcasm and sparkle in her latest single, "I'm crying (in a cool way)." She teases puffy red eyes as a makeup trend and the strange spectrum of suffering when there's money in her pocket. "Give you the dollar in my wallet, I do my part/I'm a bummer stunner/Can't you see my life is so hard?" O'Neal playfully points at the irony, crying while she takes so much for granted. It's the moments we find ourselves upset after work, even though we're wearing Adidas sneakers (and waiting on our paycheck). Yet, her lyrics don't come from a place of judgment. O'Neal never invalidates the broken relationships, rejection letters, or coffee stains in your favorite shirt. She has the timing of a best friend who knows when to crack a joke during the breakdown. O'Neal sings, "Don't you know that I'm the owner of this house/ And I built all the bricks that I complain about." Underneath it all, there's a sense of gratitude. So Emily O'Neal flaunts her sadness like a Swarovski necklace. "I'm crying (in a cool way)" turns a pounding heart into a source of adrenaline. The drums hit like slamming your bedroom door after a stressful day (whether it's a difficult encounter in customer service or the question you forgot on the midterm). It opens with an Olivia Rodrigo Guts  bass, and the drama buzzes in every vibration. The arpeggio adds this feeling of ascension–that euphoria after crying. The cyclical pattern favors this emotional rollercoaster, from breaking down to second-guessing herself to letting go and laughing. Lead synths sparkle like those small glimmers in tears. Autotune-filtered vocals add a confetti-pop of celebration over her voice, intentional like PinkPanthress's music. You'll be smiling like the 2026 gold medalist Alysa Liu on the ice, free-flowing and happy. O'Neal ties the same knot between the ropes of struggle and liveliness. Beaming through the falls and failures on the way to the top, there's glamor.  Emily O'Neal finds herself in music with the same celebratory power that she uses to find coolness in each teardrop. She started piano lessons at age 6, voice lessons at age 10, and writing at age 13. After listening to Taylor Swift’s 1989, her passion for songwriting was clear. She moved from her hometown, Starke, Florida, to Nashville, Tennessee. Since then, she has opened for pop singer Olivia O'Brien, played a sold-out show at the Bluebird Cafe, and was a 2021 John Lennon Scholarship winner for her single “Paint Me.” You can check out her debut album Bird’s Eye View and her recent singles, using the links below.

"Being a girlfriend is temporary. Being the hot ex is forever,” said Leah Kate about her new single, "World's Best Ex-Girlfriend." Despite this, the single is full of emotion in a slow build-up to the final chorus. “I wrote this song after we broke up. His family and friends were more devastated than him. This song is for every ex-girlfriend who was the best part of his life." The track captures Kate's post-breakup transformation and the dire consequences for her ex-boyfriend, who’s left wondering why she's been left alone. The single seeks to motivate listeners to flourish after a heartbreak. Set against a stripped-back guitar, the production forces his "worst regret" into the spotlight, pairing blunt lyricism with powerhouse vocals that no future girl could ever deliver. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Leah Kate has been redefining the genres of pop and alternative music from the start. The 2x Gold-certified singer of “10 Things I Hate About You” began her journey on YouTube, sharing song covers. Kate quickly made waves with her breakout hit “F*ck Up the Friendship,” going viral on TikTok and has been streamed over 90 million times on Spotify. Kate’s songwriting prowess extends beyond her own music; she has writing credits on Kesha’s “Attention” and recently featured on Steve Aoki’s “Talk About Love.” She joined pop icon Madison Beer on the European leg of her Life Support Tour, and Chase Atlantic on their Cold Nights Tour, and headlined her own tour, named after her third EP, "Alive and Unwell." Kate is the definition of a go-getter; the independent rising pop artist runs a full-service label for herself out of her bedroom. She is her own manager, creative director, A&R, label head, artist, and publicist all in one. Her music feels like the 90s have met the 2020s - bringing a retro electro pop sound that's passionate and brimming with hope. The one thing her songs all have in common is that they are very truthful and reflective of her life. “No matter what kind of song I'm releasing, whether it’s a disco dance pop song or just me on guitar, the lyrics have to matter and be very truthful to my life.” With the release of her latest album, Kate is gearing up to headline her world tour, "The Genius Tour," set to kick off in May of 2026.

Kid Sistr delivers a romantic, wistful ballad about queer love in their new single "American Teenage Prophecy." The song is accompanied by a narrative music video that showcases the band members recreating traditional coming-of-age moments in sapphic relationships across time and place. Kid Sistr considers what moments and relationships could have fulfilled the proposed prophecy for American life if queer people existed in a world that celebrated them. The song exemplifies the power gentle love has against even the harshest of hate. The lyrics in the chorus personify this feeling. Kid Sistr sings, "Die for love, the politicians can't stop the rush, the medication's not strong enough to keep me away from you." The instrumental base of "American Teenage Prophecy" mirrors the soft yet compelling emotional depth of the ballad's lyrics. Acoustic guitar strums set the stage for a light, melodic piano track that continues organically throughout the song. Guitarist and lead singer Sabel's delicate vocals convey the messy, sweet, and brutal business of falling in love. The piano repeats, rising in frequency before taking a brief pause, after which the percussion kicks in. In the last minute of the song, percussive instrumentals pair with a building piano that brings the song's finale to a satisfying release ending in fading airy vocalizing. The final lyrics repeat the phrase "Teenage Prophecy" followed by the final acoustic strums that wrap up the single. Kid Sistr is made up of three native New Yor kers: bassist Sara Keden, guitarist Sabel Englert, and drummer Becca Webster. “American Teenage Prophecy” follows on the heels of the band’s recently released single “ Shitshow . ” The indie pop band, currently based out of Los Angeles, also navigates between musical genres of indie rock and dreamy alt-pop. I, along with many other listeners, first fell in love with their sound after hearing the hit single "Dallas" released in 2020. Kid Sistr has toured alongside musicians K. Flay, Willow, and Carly Rae Jepsen, among others. Averaging over 80,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and a following of over 140,000 on Instagram, Kid Sistr is undeniably carving out a loyal audience, powered by their fresh sound and charm.

There are so many versions of ourselves we step into throughout our life. The people in our lives during these moments play a huge part in who we are. It’s easy to miss varients of who we used to be when there was someone of importance in your life. You step into a version of yourself that you admire and when they leave, it feels like you lose that sense of self. Makena Tate put out her new single “Missing Me” about being reminded of who you once were when you were with somebody and missing that. The track is packed with anger, sadness, envy towards your past self and the bittersweet feeling of acceptance. If you’re mourning a past love, this is the track for you. “Missing Me” is a dark alt-pop anthem that leaves you grieving all the best parts of yourself. The vulnerability of understanding it’s okay to miss versions of yourself that once existed with someone else. “Cause every time that I miss you, I start missing me.” Makena laid herself bare in her lyricism and faced her pain head first. She found safety and comfort in this person and once they left, it felt like those were ripped away from her. It’s hard to find the line between pining for what you once had and who you were when you had it. With a gloomy bass line, hard hitting drums, haunting harmonies and emotion filled vocals, “Missing Me” has you drowning in that longing. Let yourself feel it all because it’s the only way to heal and move forward. Makena Tate is an alt-pop singer songwriter who picks up her skeletons in the closet and throws them straight into the party. She started her career in the genre of indie-folk, but she has since shed that skin to step into the moody pop that carries you through every late night drive home. In her writing, she doesn’t flinch at chaos, heartbreak, or the moments where you stare at your reflection and wonder if you recognize the person staring back at you. She doesn’t sugarcoat what she feels, she keeps it raw with a touch of bittersweetness. She believes in taking the uncomfortable moments and twisting them into songs you want to scream along to. “Missing Me” was the last of three singles that Makena has released in preparation for her album rollout that begins next month.

Courtesy of April Anderson @ andrsn.photos “But it’s all up to the state,” Jane Fitzsimmons sings and swings her arms as Ian Jones lifts members of the audience onto the stage. At Songbyrd Music House in Washington, D.C., the duo Twen performs “Tumbleweed” from their recent album Fate Euphoric  for a sold-out crowd of 250 fans. They start the first night of the second part of their tour, looking effortlessly cool. Fitzsimmons jumps to the racing drums in an Adidas jacket, wide-legged washed jeans, a black grommet belt, and platform sandals. Jones, having already shed his leather jacket, strums his semi-hollow guitar in a tan indie-chic polo, baggy jeans, and leather shoes. They don’t need flashy outfits or choreography. Twen’s charisma fills the room. After “Tumbleweed” slows to the groovy “Bore U,” Jones offers his hand to help fans down from the stage. “If you can dream it, you can do it,” Fitzsimmons says. “We don’t have a label. We don’t have management. This is possible because of you guys.” The singer waves the red wooden mallet that appears like a scepter on the Fate Euphoric  album cover. “Right now, it feels like fate. Why the fuck was I born fucking now?” Fitzsimmons shares, sitting next to Jones the night before they leave for tour. Twen’s Fate Euphoric  guides fans through the highs and lows. The album, released on November 4, 2025, revives the ’60s psychedelia and mysticism and the ’90s rock and societal critiques. Fitzsimmons’s magnetic vocals, Jones’s compelling riffs, the thumping rhythms, and the undeniably catchy yet deep lyrics invite fans to let their hair down and regulate their nervous systems. The tracks aren’t quite a punk-rock political call to action. Influenced by Rota Fortunae, they tell me this record is for emotional processing. “No matter where you are on the Wheel of Fate, it can be euphoric, because it’s all part of the same thing,” Jones says. “So even when times suck, and you’re going down on the wheel, it’s euphoric because you’ll swing back around.” The duo pushes against the feeling of powerlessness. “The assault of news stories, loss of rights, plans, schemes, super PACs, and Project ’25. You feel so ‘Wow, the normal modes of hope, or you know, vote and do this, don’t really feel as quite potent as they used to,’” Fitzsimmons says. But trusting fate doesn’t mean giving up. It means believing that unethical leaders eventually fall, that good days are on the other side of bad times, and even when control feels out of reach, interior freedom remains. “We were trying to draw the link between the technocratic feudalism and the rich,” Jones says. “We’re stuck in this system of techno corporations and surveillance state, and how that links back to the Middle Ages, the medieval era, and the cyclical patterns of power.” Rather than following the music industry’s standards, intuition guides Twen. Though Fate Euphoric  dropped on Election Day, the timing wasn’t planned as a statement—November 4, 2025, aligned with the stars. Twen consulted an astrologer for the first time. Originally, Twen planned to release “Godlike” a month earlier than August 12. Fitzsimmons reenacts the story with the astrologer, leaning forward and shaking her head. “And she’s like that, don’t do that.” She praises the fact that they waited. “Godlike” was the fastest-growing single they ever released. As of February 2026, they garnered over 500,000 streams of the track on Spotify. “Godlike seems to have some sort of energy behind it, and that was the date she chose. I’m doing that again because it seems like you’re going on the path of least resistance.” Since forming in 2016, Twen has relied on Human Design as another framework for alignment. “It’s a great prism to view not only your own gut feelings and your own energy with other people,” Jones says, “but also organizations and teamwork.” Fitzsimmons is a generator, someone who responds to opportunities and follows excitement, while Ian is a projector, someone who thrives in decision-making processes. Together, it’s a formula for a path of creativity and recognition. Twen knew they wanted to dedicate their lives to music. From “Long Time” on their debut album Awestruck  to “Fortune 500” on One Stop Shop , their songs capture the trials and triumphs of this pursuit. Although there's no destiny like Twen's, the lyrics are refreshingly relatable, offering relief and determination when fans need them most. “There’s something so beautiful about being an artist in a band,” Jones says. “Your life and your artwork become a single column of air. It’s this Odyssey that you’re on. It’s just what we’re here to do, and we’re doing it as divine messengers, baby—musicians.” Beyond their energy types, their creative backgrounds set them up for success. Fitzsimmons, a Boston University graphic design graduate, designs the band’s album covers, posters, and merch. Jones, a Berklee College of Music graduate with a major in music business, produces and mixes their records. Directing and editing music videos and booking their tours, they maintain a level of control unavailable to many artists. “We have an idea of how everything should go in the entire world, you know, the entire Twen universe. We’re not looking for anyone else to fill in the blanks. We know how this shit is supposed to go. That’s what it means, and that’s what our band is about,” Jones says. But he resists the idea of Twen’s name being flattened into “a DIY band.” “It should not be a stamp of authenticity or approval. I think it’s because we have a vision for every aspect of our band. It’s a much more direct message from our heart and from our nervous system to your eardrums and your nervous system.” Van life grants them the fortune of taking their home, the Twen universe, wherever they go. During the pandemic, Fitzsimmons and Jones began living in their converted Ram Promaster Van. “We both love driving. We sometimes even fight for the wheel, which is kind of weird, not typical,” Fitzsimmons says. Everything they need on tour is in the van, saving them the hassle of deciding what to pack away in a bag and giving them the freedom to make a cup of tea whenever they want. “We don’t let anyone else drive because it’s our house,” Fitzsimmons says. Jones calls back to earlier, “Because we’re DIY.” Between driving from venue to venue, maintaining the van, and handling social media, touring leaves little downtime. New song ideas are limited to recording a voice memo. “Because what does DIY mean? Never enough time,” Jones says. Fitzsimmons imagines a tour bus, calling it “sweet,” but “all the struggle creates beauty in itself.”  “You need that friction. Maybe that’s the problem with the billionaire class. They don’t have friction,” Fitzsimmons says. “They want people to suck them off, and they make the AI talk like that to them. We have friction, and we’re grateful for it. It creates good things.” The balance follows them from the beauty and friction in van life to the stage. Before shows, Fitzsimmons no longer hypes herself up with pre-workout or visits to the gym, not even caffeine. She enters the stage stone cold sober. Jones, by contrast, takes pre-workout and has a drink. “I want to go. I want to be flying,” he says. On stage, they create a visual harmony. Fitzsimmons swings the microphone around in a windmill motion, twists her hips, and bends her knees. Every move is fluid. Jones hoists his guitar up high, plays the Fender behind his head, and thrashes with intensity.  At the end of the night, Twen performs a cover of “Don’t Dream It’s Over” by Crowded House. Fans turn on their phone flashlights and sway their arms to the beat. For a moment, the powerlessness on the news is an afterthought, and it feels like the crowd is at the top of the Wheel of Fate.

Courtesy of StarRegistration Pisces season has arrived, which means it’s time to create a dreamy, romantic, heartfelt playlist of your favorite Pisces musicians. These artists’ birthdays fall between February 19th to March 20th. If you share this sign, you may hear that you’re empathetic, creative, and charming. Symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions, Pisces own the space between the past and the future and the end and the beginning. These fellow Pisces artists will guide you through a path of self-discovery among magic, mystery, and sensitivity. 10. Olivia Rodrigo (Feb. 20) Olivia Rodrigo is true to the Pisces spirit. Her music is intimate and unfiltered. Tweens, teens, and twenty-somethings shout their lyrics, from deep in their chest, because Rodrigo taps into every aspect of girlhood. Like most who share the Pisces sign, her fans feel seen as she opens up about her own experiences. Rodrigo starts the waterworks with the hit “drivers license,” exposes a traitor in “vampire,” and spirals into insecurity in “pretty isn’t pretty.” The overdrive on the guitar shreds through the speakers like an angsty impulse to tear apart diary pages. The light she shines over imperfections and flaws hooks fans with sympathy. 9. Rihanna (Feb. 20) Rihanna knows how to set the vibe, controlling heartbeats with the same power as the waves at the beach. Her discography represents her expansive creativity as a Pisces. In ANTI , she immerses her fans in vintage textures like jazz club violins in “Higher” and blues organs in “Love On the Brain.” Her early 2000s hits from Good Girl Gone Bad and Talk That Talk  lean into escapism under dance floor beats and cool bass progressions. With songs like “Stay,” Rihanna also shows her ability to draw on the rawness of toxic relationships. She sings without judgment and from the lens of an open book. 8. Bad Bunny (March 10) Bad Bunny is a proud Pisces, sampling Walter Mercado on a track. Although he has built a reputation of the lavish lifestyle and thumping beats, sensitivity slips through the cracks. “DtMF” taps into nostalgia and regret, wishing he had taken more pictures and given more hugs. Another song on the album “Turista” strips the luxury down to his heart, revealing his vulnerability. His adaptability from Latin trap to reggaeton flows like water. 7. Justin Bieber (March 1) Justin Bieber also represents the tender side of Pisces masculinity. Since the release of his romantic hits “Baby” and “Somebody to Love,” he’s made a reputation of being the devotional heartthrob. His music matured into Changes ’s spirituality and bedroom confessionals and SWAG ’s honeymoon warmth. 6. Camila Cabello (March 3) Camila Cabello carries that dreamy Pisces romanticism. Romance  is all about love, lust, toxicity, and longing. “Easy” echoes the safety of being adored no matter what, while “This Love” leans into that old-fashioned desire to be wooed. Like most Pisces, Cabello romanticizes the chaos of exploring relationships. Her concept album C, XOXO  adds memory and place into the mix, another water-sign trait. Emotions swell in Cabello's storytelling. 5. Tyler, The Creator (March 6) Tyler, The Creator displays the imaginative and intuitive Pisces. His creation goes beyond producing albums. He creates entire personas such as Tyler Baudelaire, Flower Boy, and Igor. “See You Again” is pure yearning, chasing an ideal love that might only exist in fantasy. In classic Pisces fashion, he finds a space where the worlds can coexist. His collaborative tracks like “Sticky” shows how fluidly he moves between moods and influences. That shapeshifting is deeply Pisces. 4. Jhené Aiko (March 16) Jhené Aiko embodies the calm, mystical side of Pisces energy. On Chilombo , she traces heartbreak and healing like mapping tides, smooth melodies floating over wispy production. Jhené transforms sensitivity into something luminous. She sounds grounded even when she’s exploring spiritual depth. There’s clarity in her vulnerability. Her music echoes the stillness that Pisces need in 2026. 3. Becky G (March 2) Becky G channels Pisces, drawing from her experiences. She’s said that to write about life, you have to live it, and that openness shows. On Esquinas , nostalgia hums beneath tracks like “2ndo Chance,” and “Querido Abuelo” honors family history. Pisces often carry generational emotion in their bodies, and Becky shows that weight. There’s reverence in the way she tells those stories. 2. Madison Beer (March 5) Madison Beer leans into the emotional complexity Pisces know too well. Life Support  explores her mental health with a softness that doesn’t feel fragile. “Bittersweet” shimmers with dreamy textures while unpacking hard truths. Pisces can be prone to anxiety and mood swings, and Madison doesn’t sugarcoat that reality. Her debut album Life Support explores mental health. There’s maturity in the way she processes her pain publicly. Her lyrics are observant and transparent. 1. Chappell Roan (Feb. 19) Chappell Roan channels the sparkly, bold, and magical Pisces. Her project The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess  enters a glittering universe of longing. “Pink Pony Club” captures the desire to escape into something bigger, paralleling her pursuit to the pop star stage. The hovering synths and vulnerability in “Casual” feel like soaking up all the hurt—eventually leading to healing. On the “Good Luck, Babe!” cover and on red carpets, she dresses like a medieval princess, digging deeper into the fantastical elements of the Pisces. Pisces often blur illusion and reality, and Chappell leans into that blur. She combines the two worlds.

Developing feelings for someone and feeling so stuck that you can't even leave when all they've done to you is throw you out is never easy. "Jersey" explores the journey of falling for someone who saw parts of you no one ever has before, only to leave you thinking and feeling just like every other girl that passes by. The song paints vulnerability as sacred, "Jersey" understands how tricky it can be to find yourself wondering how authentic a past relationship was. What "Jersey" teaches its listeners is that it's okay to feel insecure and lost in the aftermath of a relationship like this one. It's okay to feel haunted by someone who's gone as this is a universal experience, and maybe eventually you will be able to crawl your way out. "Jersey" does a great job of portraying the modern day folk pop style, especially with Jocelyn Cecilia's voice. Her singing has a wispiness to it that almost reminds you of autumn. The production of the track really gets the feeling of longing across as the instrumentals shift as the song progresses. It truly does feel like a coming-of-age style anthem, the way the song doesn't overcomplicate itself, and instead, allows Cecilia's voice to shine. The background vocals as well are really nicely done and serve more as a highlight than an interruption. As previously mentioned, there is a sense of being haunted by this person who has now left and possibly has left others too. The way the song is arranged, it does paint that image of feeling haunted and almost as if there are echoes of similar situations taking place. "Jersey" is a great song about the heartbreaks that come with youth, and how you will find yourself connected to people who maybe don't deserve you, but that's okay. I think listeners of Cecilia's track would love "Jersey" as it makes you feel seen, it makes you feel less lonely. Jocelyn Cecilia is an artist originally from Orange County, California. She has been involved in music since she was young, playing piano since the age of 4. Her first ever release was her song "Little Black Dress" which was released in 2021. Then in 2022 she released her single "27." While she currently only has a few releases out, it seems she has a good idea of what her style is. As mentioned, her voice and lyrical style fits in perfectly with the modern folk pop space, and if she decides to stay on this genre track, it would really work. "Jersey" is a great track for moments when you feel stuck and need to find comfort in solidarity, and it will be exciting to see what comes next for Jocelyn Cecilia.
