20-Somethings – BritPop

abigailpixler5452

Pop is in my heart. It’s in my head and on the tip of my tongue as I sing. It’s a massive part of me because it is the type of music that I latched onto the earliest when I was a kid. Why?

Genres: More To Rap About

abigailpixler5452

While pop and rock have evolved over the years, other genres have been evolving and expanding in very distinct ways as well – ESPECIALLY RAP.

Truthfully, I don’t listen to a ton of it to begin with, but with Sferikul, I listen to practically everything now and it has been eye-opening to say the least.

abigailpixler5452

If you are new to reading my reviews, unfamiliar with what these reviews consist of and how I “rate”them, let me explain. I am not “out to get any artist or band” I am not here to tear anyone down, only to give my opinions on what my head, ears and heart hear and take in. I WILL NOT use star ratings or number systems to get my opinion across because well, I’d rather not. I’d rather just say yay or nay FOR ME and move on with my life. Lastly, don’t take my reviews as concrete facts about an … Continue reading Meh or Yeh Music Reviews: 03.30
