I really love a song that just makes you nod your head because it's way too groovy. That's exactly how I feel about "Layup" by Mira Housey. Originally, when I listen to songs for the first time, I just will have them on so I can listen to them as I'm doing things because that's the best way to become acquainted with the songs quickly. As soon as I started "Layup," I thought I would be able to get away with this as the song starts slowly but as soon as we got to the first beat drop, I immediately ran to grab my headphones to get the full experience. This song does an incredible job at mixing synth, dance music with a great topic that maps over sports reference to connect with relationships. Hearing this song reminds me of 2015-2020 songs that were post EDM and our Skrillex phase. What Mira brings to the table is perfect for anyone who loves the haromies of Zayn, musical experimentations of Jacob Collier mixed with Ariana Grande style vocal runs. The beginning of the song starts off with a gentle piano which throws the entire song off but not in a bad way. It allows for the first verse to really grasp our attention and like I said above - you can't help but nod your head and groove to it. Each chorus of this song explodes with angelic harmonies but the lyrics also can't go untouched. Mira's sports references allow the lyrics to flow so easily to allow the point to get across of just taking your shot with someone. Mira Housey is a classic pianist turned pop-star. They write, produce and records music all from their bedroom. All the way from Detroit, Michigan, Mira competed nationally playing the piano at just 7 years old which shows with their music genius behind some of the tracks that we've heard. It seems that everyone also agrees after going viral for doing song-writing challenges, piano compositions. Their music has reached over 40 million views from all different platforms due to their emotionally driven, catchy and upbeat songs that you won't want out of your head. You can listen to "Layup" on platforms everywhere. Written By Bre Macomber FOLLOW MIRA HOUSEY: Instagram | Spotify | Facebook | YouTube

Photo Taken From Music Business World Wide Earth Day or Bruno Mars Day? I chose to celebrate both! I went to see the legendary Bruno Mars in Houston, Texas on April 22. I’ve always liked his major hits and respected his iconic performances. In my opinion, he’s one of the last great pop stars. I’ll explain what I mean later. First, let’s get into the opening acts. Bruno Mars Performing That's What I Like DJ Pee .Wee (aka Anderson .Paak) came out around 7:15 pm and his set lasted 20 minutes. He played older hits including "Love On Top", "We Found Love", "I Want To Dance With Somebody", and "Get Low". It was the perfect way to hype up the crowd. After that, Leon Thomas came out at 7:45 pm. I grew up watching him on Victorious, a Nickelodeon show, so it was really cool to see him gaining more recognition. He absolutely shredded the guitar and even played the bass and drums during his amazing 30 minute set which included "HOW FAST", "Blue Hundreds", and "MUTT". Silk Sonic Performing Smokin' Out The Window At 8:45 pm sharp, the lights went down, a video of Bruno praying for himself, his band, and the fans hit the screen, and "Risk It All" started to play. He bounced back and forth between songs from 24K Magic and The Romantic albums including "Cha Cha Cha", "God Was Showing Off", "24K Magic", and "That's What I Like". He finished off the first half of his set with "Something Serious" which made everyone lose their minds. The second half of the show began with Silk Sonic. They performed "777", "Fly As Me", "Smokin' Out The Window", and "Leave The Door Open". I had never really listened to Silk Sonic so I was pleasantly surprised by Anderson’s vocals, dancing, and drum skills. After the epic duo wrapped up their songs, Bruno rattled off some of his most iconic songs like "Marry You", "Locked Out of Heaven", and "Uptown Funk". We were loving every moment and singing our hearts out as if it had been 10 years since his last album and world tour (lol!). But, before he officially left the stage, he performed one last song, "Dance With Me". What a beautiful finish! Bruno Mars Performing Uptown Funk Earlier when I said Bruno is one of the last true popstars we have, I didn’t stutter. All through the night, he showed off his incredible guitar skills, passionate vocals, smooth dancing, and crowd engagement. A masterclass performance that only the greats can pull off. I witnessed true showmanship tonight and I am stunned! Written By Jazz Instagram | Twitter | Facebook | Spotify | TikTok | YouTube *copyright not intended. Fair use act, section 107.

Back with the latest addition to their catalog, little image has released their newest single and haunting music video, "THE REAPER." The track is part of a bigger project, released on their sophomore album, KILL THE GHOST. Both the song and album represent a bold transition for the band, showing the result of a year of growth and reinvention, and exploring the fear of abandonment. Sharing more about the narrative behind "THE REAPER," drummer Troy Bruner states, "'THE REAPER' quickly became our favorite song on the album because it carries so much of what it means to be human, grief, pain, loss, and the quiet weight of forgiveness." Matching the poignant heaviness of the song's lyrics, the music behind little image's "THE REAPER" perfectly captures the feeling of emotions hitting like waves as the soundscape ebbs and flows between pensive verses and impactful choruses. The track starts soft and reserved with minimal instrumentals and light vocals, building tension and momentum that drive home the immersive, emotional release expressed as we reach an explosion of sound in the chorus.

"Wrong Impression" by Jordan Anthony is a soulful heartbreak anthem that expresses the frustrating pain of a relationship built on bricks of misunderstanding. The speaker paints a picture of two people who try and fail to reconcile their differences of opinion, so much so that they are torn apart by constant conflict. The song propels listeners into a truly exhausting existence of non-stop fighting as the chorus explains, "every word's a misconception." The speaker is pained by the knowledge that the relationship must end, wishing for a better resolution. Plagued by the feeling of betrayal, the lyrics express, "all along you had a side of you you didn't show me." This soulful pop track builds upon itself with its sound growing more immersive as the emotional resonance of the lyrics grow deeper. It starts out simply: piano chords ring out, slurring across the bars as Jordan's smooth, deep vocals melodically work through the verse. At the start of the song, a feeling of intimate vulnerability emerges from the expression of Jordan's singing: breaths are peppered throughout the first verse as his powerful vocals are delivered in a relative hushed tone. Through the chorus, the singing becomes unbridled, passionate, and powerful. Guitar, vocalizing, percussion, and electronic instrumentals ramp up halfway through the song as the singing grow bolder, projecting from the chest. The sound of "Wrong Impression" exposes the emotional intensity of heartache in its pop sound. Jordan Anthony is an Australian artist based in Los Angeles, whose music career was launched into the spotlight on the reality television show American Idol. He has since carved out a niche with his emotional pop style taking on themes of love and love lost.

Alt. Pop Rock Princess LØLØ is back again with her sophomore album, "god forbid a girl spits out her feelings!", leaving nobody safe with her cut-through lyrics and intoxicating melodies. TRACKLIST god forbid a girl spits out her feelings! me with no shirt on dumbest girl in the world hung up on u delusional darling the punisher 007 the devil wears converse stuff like that whiskey & coke american zombie boy who doesn't want to lobotomy & u Don't be fooled by this only being her second album release. LØLØ has been around for several years now, and is quite the underrated artist if I do say so myself. Her biggest song to date, "you turn me on (but you give me depression)" has over 34 million streams on Spotify alone, which led her to releasing her debut album in 2024, "falling for robots & wishing i was one". She has an edginess paired with vulnerability, two conflicting characteristics you don't often see in artists nowadays. One minute you'll be screaming to a pop-punk banger and then the next you're sobbing to an acoustic ballad. She sings the words that many of us are afraid to say for ourselves when it comes to toxic relationships and self-worth. god forbid a girl spits out her feelings! We open up with the title track of the album, "god forbid a girl spits out her feelings!". Lined with downstrums of an acoustic guitar and an ear-catching riff, this song is all about LØLØ owning her songwriting skills and emotions. Did you do her dirty and now you've got a song about you? Well, you kind of had to see that coming, right? The best music comes from the heart, and LØLØ unapologetically spills hers out all over the floor. me with no shirt on Track two is probably my personal favorite pre-release single, "me with no shirt on", a heartbreakingly desperate cry once you've had the realization that the one you love isn't giving you attention anymore. One of the stand out things about this song is the focus on acoustic guitar. It makes it feel even more personal, like sitting all alone in your room, singing your emotions to yourself, just like LØLØ does in the music video. There's an addicting nostalgic dreaminess to this song that I haven't been able to let go of ever since it came out, which is ironic considering its topic. Don't worry LØLØ, you will never lose my attention, gf. dumbest girl in the world "dumbest girl in the world" is heavy pop-punk banger that is not only LØLØ calling herself out on her own bullsh*t, but all of us girlies out there who put up with less than what we deserve from men. With lyrics that might hit a little too close to home, you can either take a moment to laugh at yourself, have some major realizations, or both! The music video features some other favorite underrated queens such as Chandler Leighton , Leah Kate , Hunter Daily , Mylie Taylor and Bailey Spinn . hung up on u LØLØ is having her early 2000's teenage rom-com movie moment in the song "hung up on you" with a super dream-pop inspired soundscape and old-style Taylor Swift coded melodies. Her voice is absolutely gorgeous in this song, standing out the most in the hook when she sings the title in layered harmonies. My personal favorite moment is the acapella key-change at the end for the final chorus. This song is a double entendre, taking place as a phone call with a crush that abruptly ends due to not knowing what to say next. delusional darling "delusional darling" sounds as it is titled. It's catchy, rock'n'roll, but reckless and crazy at the same time. LØLØ's ability to change her tone to match the mood and tone of each song is so impressive, she quite literally memorizes me in each track as we go along. The heavy distortion and seductive background vocals make you feel like you yourself are falling into delusion as LØLØ tells us all the warning signs she ignores for someone who is clearly not treating her right. However, she's so afraid of being alone, that she pretends that everything is fine. the punisher "the punisher" is about that shameful thing we all do after a breakup - stalk our ex on the internet. And even worse, when you find out they're with somebody new. Now we're stuck with the awful question, "why the heck did I just do that to myself?". Now you've just broken your own heart, and you're gonna be stuck in your feelings even more for god knows how long. "the punisher" has a hook that will catch onto your brain for days and a sense of nostalgic pop rock that gets that catharsis going. 007 With "007", it's probably not hard to guess the theme. This song does quite literally sound straight out of a spy movie, using major/minor 7th chords to give it mysterious vibes but it also has heavy distorted electric guitars and rushing drums to add energy and 90's rock'n'roll flare. Licensed to kill, "007" is about a man that is nothing but trouble. However, you seem to always go after the bad boys, and end up wanting him anyway, even though you're onto him and his shenanigans. the devil wears converse instead of the devil wears prada , we have the cheeky and risky love song, "the devil wears converse". Have you ever seen someone so toxically beautiful, that no matter how bad you know they are for you, you just let yourself fall anyway? You just can't resist the devilish charm that radiates off of them. In the verses, LØLØ sings with a slight slide in the melody, as if she's admiring this person from afar and is quite literally falling in love. In the chorus, it's a burst of distorted energy that makes you want to dance around your room like nobody is watching. stuff like that "stuff like that" is about when you finally find someone that could stay, but also all of the anxiety that comes along with any possibility that they won't. So, you find something to believe in to help you hold onto the hope that one day they won't leave you; like praying, wishing on shooting stars, etc... "stuff like that" is a ballad with a gorgeous soft-picked guitar riff, along with a heavier instrumentation that comes in during the chorus. The overall groove and tone reminds me a little of "Teenage Dirtbag" by Wheatus . whiskey & coke "whiskey & coke" is a dark, but beautiful, country and Southern inspired song full of acoustic guitar and gorgeous vocals. This song is about someone who loves their alcohol, and unfortunately loves it more than anyone else, choosing it over their significant other on the nightly. LØLØ sings about all the things she could do to make this man happy, if only he could trade his drinks for her. american zombie Heavily relating to common topics on this album such as toxic men and acting oblivious to all the red flags, we have "american zombie". It's a super fun and energetic song highlighting all of the dark ways a man acts to get attention as if they are good things, and LØLØ sings in a happy tone as if she's ignorant and detached from what's really going on. We can't blame her though, because I think we've all had these rose-colored glasses on before. boy who doesn't want to "boy who doesn't want to" is a wake up message for many of us out there who have the "I can fix him" trait. This song is super raw, direct and straightforward because the focus here is the lyrics. The words are painfully true, because the fact of the matter is, "a boy who doesn't want to is never gonna change". This isn't the final track of the album, but I love that it's at least near the end, because after all that we've listened to up until this point, this feels like something that needs to be heard. lobotomy & u We end the project with the most painful, sad and heartbreaking song on the entire album, "lobotomy & u", an acoustic ballad with dreamy 50's tones, raw vocals, and lyrics that are quite literally a punch to the gut. "lobotomy & u" is about being so in love with somebody, that all you wish is that you could forget all the hurt they've put you through and just go back to feeling them love you again. One of the greatest pains in life is still loving someone that doesn't reciprocate that same type of love, and this song embodies that pain. You might want to grab the tissues. LØLØ is one of the most underrated artists on my radar, that I personally believe NEEDS to be in mainstream music. She is a natural-born superstar, a phenomenal songwriter and has the voice of an angel. She continues to outdo herself time and time again, and with "god forbid a girl spits out her feelings!", I believe she deserves to be getting more attention. These songs are HITS; and if you haven't given it a listen yet, you should. Written By Kaitlyn Nicole Instagram | Twitter | Facebook | Spotify | TikTok | YouTube *copyright not intended.

Running yourself tired? Wishing there was another version of you to help you during those times of need? Boy, do I have the song for you! “Body Double” is Emily O’Neal’s newest single, bringing on the truthful hardness of life. It’s about wanting to be seen and heard, in times of need. Growing pains affect us all, so why not relate and blast this song down the highway. Not only is the message beautifully composed, but the composition of the single is out of this world. We immediately jump into the song with keys, fun and hoppy. The drums in the back set the pacing just right, allowing Emily’s vocals to ebb and flow between them. The chorus is soft, heartfelt, yet in a poppy sense that keeps your head moving. It gives Lola Yung’s Messy vibes. Her adlibs in the back add a dream-like essence towards the latter half of the song. She then in the bridge shows off her gorgeous vocal range, calmly yet passionately ending the song. Overall, this is a storybook song that is beautifully made to be heartfelt yet upbeat.
