Adrianne Lenker has released a drumless and bassless banger titled "Fool." This track would go well over the melting winter snow and a cup of tea. Along with the track follows a video—an extremely wholesome video. The video captures a group of people in cowboy hats dancing weirdly and freely to the track. It also has dogs living their best life. The video goes very well with the song. If you are a regular fan of Adrianne Lenker, you might find that her voice and melodic soul are very well represented in this song, but the instrumentation is a bit different to what you have heard before. Anyhow, it all comes together very well.

Dua Lipa is back with another banging hit titled 'Training Season.' Dua Lipa is continuing to push for her title for Queen of Pop, and I would say if she isn’t there already, she is getting closer every day. Following the release of her hit 'Houdini,' she continues in the same fashion with extremely catchy love-themed songs with a little bit of a twist to them. The track 'Houdini' was perfectly simple, like so simple and catchy that you can’t even imagine how much work went into making it that way. The theme of 'Training Season' is that of Dua Lipa searching for the right partner. She is stating her needs and requirements and seems sort of fed up with the whole process of trying to find someone who can truly appreciate her. The featured music video goes hand in hand with this, and I highly recommend you to watch it. It basically shows a lot of men trying to get Dua’s attention, but it seems all of them fail.

As she prepares for the tour, Wilson eagerly anticipates the energy of live performances, where audiences are sure to sing along to the infectious melodies of "Country’s Cool Again."

The artist Caity Baser has just released a new track titled “I’m A Problem”, and long with the track follows a music video. The song is a poppy, anthemic tune about not adhering to what anyone is trying to think you should be. Caity is showing that she is her own artist and throughout the whole song, she is swinging little jabs at internet trolls etc. I think that this trope is something that most artists explore at some point. However, most people do it a bit more low key, where they don’t expressively make whole songs about it with such blunt language. This is why Caity’s rendition is actually really refreshing, straight to the point. It seemed like I was going another direction, but I appreciate the bluntness here - more power to her.

Indie rock band, The National Parks are thrilled start our the new year with the release of their new single “Timber!” that is out now.

Owl City releases a new track titled "Boston". This track is about love and starting over in a different town. What is more satisfying than listening to a one-man band where that one-man has absolutely mastered the art of making satisfying synth sounds and catchy melodies? Well, I can think of a few, but it is pretty darn high up there. The song "Boston" sort of starts in a “classic” Owl City fashion, from what I can remember, with the cute synths modified to perfection and an overall bubbly feeling. It is an interesting track because the sonics really follow along with the story. The first part, being more of a lament about how one part in a relationship feels left out and unloved. When the narrative breaks over and the character starts considering the freedoms that go along with moving to another city, all the musical elements change. We introduce distorted guitars, rebellious pop-punk vocals, and much more. I would say this switch-up makes sense, and it is appreciated that someone put so much thought into their song. Just like how getting up and moving to a new city all of a sudden would be a bit shocking, the rock elements kick in at the same time as that lyric starts supporting that shocking feeling.
