new music friday

Hot summer nights, mid July, baby! Yes, that’s right. It’s the middle of the summer and we’re smack dab in the epicenter of a heat wave. No one can seem to shake the heat, not even the rain is helping. And while I’m scurrying off to the beach somewhere, you may be gearing up for […]

I know I always say this…but I’m particularly excited for this weekend. No, it’s not because the weather has been so beautiful that the last thing I want to do is sit inside on my laptop (although that’s true). It’s because we’re approaching Memorial Day Weekend- and for me, a New Jerseyan, that means going […]

Now that we’re in the wake of Taylor Swift’s epic release of The Tortured Poets Department anthology, other artists have gathered the courage to release music yet again…I mean, the album literally broke every Spotify record in the book- already surpassing 1 billion streams in five days, she has the most streamed song and album […]

Breaking news: it’s Friday. So that means we have a whole week’s worth of new music. After Billie Eilish basically broke the internet by announcing a new album this week, everyone’s wondering who else is gearing up to release some future Grammy nominees. My guess? Harry Styles.

Happy Cowboy Carter day– oops, I mean Friday — to all who celebrate. Yes, it feels a bit sacrilegious to work on Opening Day, Beyonce’s Release Day, and Good Friday, but I digress. Some of us have to stay strong and power through the workday while others are enjoying the singular sunny day we’ve had […]

After a week full of 60+ degree weather in New York, I’m officially ready to slam the laptop shut and enter the weekend. I’m bathing suit shopping online, I’m spending time basking in the short-lived early spring weather, and I’m gearing up to make another playlist to get through the weekend. Since this weekend is […]

When commuting to work, I do a lot of people-watching. Call me creepy, but in New York City, there’s not much else you can do besides be hyper-aware of your surroundings. And that includes taking note of the three main types of commuters. There’s the insufferable worker: has a classic novel folded as they lean […]

Now that I’ve obsessively pored through my Spotify Wrapped 2023 playlist a few times over, unfortunately I need something new. Regardless of the fun Spotify Wrapped features this year, my Blend playlists with friends are the entire Stick Season (We’ll All Be Here Forever) album with a mixture of Elvis. So it’s not even like […]

The holidays have arrived…

It feels like forever since I’ve graced everyone with a fresh batch of fresh music…but like all that’s inevitable in life – love, loss, aging – I’m here again. Call me persistent, call me determined, call me relentless – I will not give up on finding new music worth listening to every single Friday. I […]
