Remind Me By Bastille

 

Hey, what’s going on my fellow songwatchers, I’m back with another review this week. Piggybacking off of the previous “Pompeii” review, my sights and ears are on another Bastille song. After discovering Bastille while playing the racing game, Need For Speed: Rivals, I always looked out for new music from the band. In June 2022, […]

Freddie’s Not Like The Rest

 

As the years progress, it seems like modern mainstream Hip-Hop/Rap has less storytelling elements and lyricism. The 90s had Wu-Tang, Biggie, Tupac, N.W.A to name a few.

Starting his career singing Dark RnB, with each album he released, he slowly transitioned into Pop with electronic, synth, and dance influences.

Walking on a Dream

 

Have you ever known exactly how a song goes, but can’t seem to remember where or how you’ve heard that song?  That was the case for me with the classic “Walking on a Dream” by Empire of the Sun. I was reintroduced to this great song by an Instagram reel and I somehow sang along […]
