▷ Lykke Li appreciation
Lykke Li has one of my favorite discographies of any artist. over the last 15+ years she’s built a catalog that rarely misses. whether she’s making indie pop, alternative, dream pop, rnb, or something darker and more atmospheric. i’ve always thought she’s one of the most underrated artists in music. there’s a vulnerability throughout her records that has this ability to make heartbreak and loneliness sound comforting. even if you don’t realize it, you’ve probably heard her in

𓇳 album review _ issue 22
Music, Fashion, Film / @charli_xcx instead of trying to recreate Brat, she made one of her most introspective records yet. it’s an indie rock album with deconstructed production that explores getting older, identity, and figuring out where she fits now. what are your thoughts on the new album??? swipe through for my full album review + in the same rotation playlist on spotify + apple music ♫ overall rating: 8.3 / Replay

Charli keeps pushing

12 movies to watch if you liked The Odyssey ⚔️
some of these are direct adaptations or inspired by greek mythology, like Troy, Immortals, and Clash of the Titans. others like Mad Max: Fury Road, The Lord of the Rings, and 2001: A Space Odyssey, share the same themes in completely different settings and genres. The Odyssey is about perseverance… finding your way home, protecting the people you love, facing impossible challenges, and becoming someone different by the end of the journey. these movies capture that same spirit

new music from ⟢ Steve Lacy, Nia Archives, Syd, Carly Rae Jepsen, Rick Ross, beabadoobee, Gracie Abrams, Mariah Carey, Leon Bridges… The Internet fans really won today. Steve Lacy, Syd, and Matt Martians all released new projects. Steve Lacy’s album is much more rock forward and neo-psychedelic than I expected, but it works so well. every track has its own standout moment, and even at only 10 songs it doesn’t feel rushed or underdeveloped.. i wanted to replay every song befor

𓇳 my top 15 experimental hip hop albums of all time
experimental hip hop is one of the most exciting genres because there are no rules. artists push against what the genre is supposed to sound like, and sometimes that means loud and chaotic. other times it’s abstract, jazzy, electronic, and psychedelic. - there’s abstract storytelling / MF DOOM, Earl Sweatshirt, and billy woods - industrial & noise / Death Grips, clipping., Kanye - electronic & dance / Vince Staples - psychedelic / Outkast, KIDS SEE GHOSTS, Tyler, The Creator
