I first heard Mitski when she opened for Lorde at the Wells Fargo Center last April, but that’s not when I fell in love her. I remember thinking, as the Lorde cult member that I am, that if the composer of my young adult life chose this artist, she must be pretty good. So that’s what I thought as I waited for Mitski to come out two hours before the headliner. I heard the set, but didn’t think much of it. Unfortunately, between the noise of people crowding into the stadium, my excitement for Lorde herself, and my unfamiliarity with Mitski, I ended up going home and forgetting about her.

Nine Track Mind, Charlie Puth’s 2016 album, launched him into success. And I hated it. “We Don’t Talk Anymore,” “Marvin Gaye,” and worst of all ”One Call Away” were so similar in their gushy, fuckboy–turned–spoke–word–poet vibe that they made me reject Puth altogether as an artist. Not to mention, in perhaps the greatest offense of all, Nine Track Mind had twelve tracks.

Everything Is Love is the nine–track finale to the trilogy of the Carters’ albums about adultery and apology. It’s full of mentions of the couple’s wealth, their love, and their race, and is a bold new direction for two mega–stars (or one mega–star and Jay).

Ariana Grande has been making music for about five years, and for a career so short, her list of hits is impressive. From “Love Me Harder” and “Bang Bang” to “Side to Side” and “No Tears Left to Cry,” her music has been defined by an R&B and pop–dominated sound.

Penn has a lot of runners. And for a good reason: it can reduce stress, has countless health benefits, and is a great way to see a city and get some sun. But for beginners, running at Penn can be daunting when everyone seems to already know exactly where to run every day.

The final hurrah of Fling 2018 was filled with polar opposites—CupcakKe and The All–American Rejects, sweltering heat and freezing winds, flashing lights and a fog–enveloped setting sun. Despite the low praise for this year’s lineup of Sage the Gemini, JoJo, CupcakKe and the All–American Rejects, a combination of sentimentalism and second–hand Coachella hype made this night a memorable one. As I got into line at 6:45 p.m., I was shocked by how few people had showed up early for the festival. After being scanned in by a very kind security guard, I walked up to the very front of the enormous white platform SPEC had set up for the event, and took my perch mere feet from the stage.

Move over, All–American Rejects. Penn is in the running for a visit from the great Cardi B herself.

Lorde’s debut solo album Pure Heroine only grew in popularity after her single “Royals” climbed to the top of the charts. But what draws me back to the album isn't the same thing that makes “Royals” so good.

It’s easy to listen to Amy Winehouse and get lost in her voice. Few artists have a sound that somehow rings with both ugly affect and enviable ease. Her lyrics are raw and simple, her stories are relatable, and her early death haunts her songs with a sadness that makes pressing pause an impossibility.
