No Promises by CHEAT CODES (feat. Demi Lovato)

I found a remix of Turn Me On by CHEAT CODES last summer, so I was happy to hear them on the radio this spring with Demi Lovato. This single won’t be the phenomenon that The Chainsmokers had produced with Closer, but it will definitely be a great single to listen for on a night […]

Slide by Calvin Harris feat. Frank Ocean, Migos

I dare you to listen to this song  and fight the urge to dance. Recent singles like It Ain’t Me or Issues are hardly upbeat, but Slide proves that there is hope for a good summer 2017 playlist. It looks like Slide and Feel It Comin’ will be the summer dance anthems like Sam Feldt’s […]

A Millennial’s Defense of Leisure Reading

  The one-and-done rule can work for an array of situations—checking out library books is not one of them. Honestly, I have more discipline window-shopping in Le Marais in Paris compared to when I walk into the local library. Once I walk through the entrance of Wilton Library, I experience a Bookworm Blackout for roughly […]

Issues by Julia Michaels

March has never been a great month for me. Even though I’m a natural optimist, I don’t see that perspective changing in 2017. I was running errands in town when I first heard this song. It sounded annoying, so I changed the radio station after 30 seconds… Life happened a few days later, I caught […]

It Ain’t Me by Kygo feat. Selena Gomez

I’ve been waiting for a solid Kygo single for way too long. Whenever I listen to this song, all I can picture is being out somewhere in the Upper West Side at 3 am, sipping on a glass of Woodford Reserve before starting an impromptu dance party. This is will be a great song to […]

Worth Fighting For by Rico & Mello X TELYKast (Otero Remix)

A new year doesn’t mean a new taste in music I feel like I should have picked a more upbeat track to kick off 2017, but I’ve been replaying this one on Soundcloud for the the past few days. Maybe it’s because there’s “unfinished business” from 2016 that I still need to take care of…?

Back for Christmas by Andrew Belle

I’m losing my mind over Andrew Belle’s release of his original Christmas song This is a much better alternative to the “Last Christmas, I gave you my heart…” song. This is the “I’m home for the holidays and I hope you are too, I still love you, let’s make this work” song. This is the […]

Carry Me by Kygo feat. Julia Michaels

I love the fact that the music at Theory plays Kygo. Every time “Carry Me” plays, I get noticeably more excited alive. It’s only appropriate that the lyrics are in keeping with the other heartbreak anthems I’ve been listening to this year, but I don’t mind. This one will be fun to dance to during […]
