The Most Romantic Playlist of the 21st Century
Oh, those romantic songs, the inseparable part of pop culture. Sometimes they are cheesy, and sometimes they are heartbreaking. Some of them are closer to feel-good songs, while others are so dramatic that you get the feeling that composers created a musical equivalent of tear gas. With thousands of dating sites, you may get confused with the topics to discuss when you meet girls online. While it's highly unlikely that you are going to discuss your musical preferences on the sites designed for hook-ups, this topic is still quite popular when you are getting to know each other better online. So, are there any special songs that you have to know? Of course, you can always count on your own musical taste, but if you want to impress your online date-mate, we've concluded the list of the most romantic songs of the 21st century that can easily make you stand-out among other online-daters. Mind that some of the choices may seem weird, but a pinch of oddity never killed anybody.

Billie Eilish: "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?"—A Review
Billie Eilish. Probably one of the most perplexing artists of this time. There is a lot about Billie Eilish that is not always clear; her music, her style, her actions. They just don't really match up.

Shortie: "Tints" Analysis
At first glance, "Tints" is a song about keeping a low profile while getting some head from a girl in the driver’s seat. But when you take a look at the video, and listen a bit more to the lyrics, it’s about much more than that. Rather, it's about all of the things people hide.

Tired
It’s been a couple of years since Squidge has released new music. With an outstanding response to their first EP, What’s The Point to Care? (including songs like "Disappear Reappear" and "On The Mend") and a lineup change, it’s a good job something is around the corner. And their next release is exciting.

LIVE Review: Mirrorgloss
“Let’s GO! That’s a vibe!” a concertgoer shouted at besties Del Brown and Najamoniq Todd, the dynamic duo of the electronic, pop heart-throb Mirrorgloss. Visiting from Tacoma, Washington, Del and Najamoniq left everything on the stage at The Iron Bear Tuesday night. Opening the night with their song “I Wonder,” Mirrorgloss brought the dance drip to SXSW from start to finish. With a powerful and charismatic stage presence, Mirrorgloss’ set was defined by positivity as they delivered their message of self acceptance and love.

'Wish You Were Gay:' Billie Eilish, What Were You Thinking?
It seems the world has effectively fallen in love with Billie Eilish since her first song released on SoundCloud, "Ocean Eyes"—went viral in 2016. With the release of her current title, "Wish You Were Gay," people are a little less excited and a little unhappy.

Remember to Breathe: "Knock Yourself Out" Review
Adel Toay started a pop-punk project called Remember To Breathe based out of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. This project has had influences from some of the greats such as Blink-182 and Yellowcard, as well as the early 2000s pop punk and 90s emo music. They signed with Loud, Broke, & Dumb Records for their debut album Lessons on Getting Out and Growing Up which released on October 28, 2016. They have toured through the Midwest and opened up for notable rising acts such as Remo Drive, Belmont, Household, and many more. As an up and coming Midwest pop punk project, I suggest that you keep an eye out for them as there is a definite future ahead! They released their new single "Knock Yourself Out" on March 8, 2019.

"Run Boy Run" by Woodkid Review
I enjoy running, I also enjoy listening to music, a combination of both creates a sense of home for me. Before I go on a run, I usually pick a random radio station on Spotify to listen to, and I’m well on my way. I like putting my list in shuffle mode, so that I can expect the unexpected. If I like the song, I add it to my playlist. There was this one song on a run that rang beautifully in my ears. The song was "Run Boy Run" by Woodkid. I found that the title of the song was ironic because... well... I was running. Prior to listening to this song on Spotify, I only heard the intro of it being played over a meme depicting someone running away from something. I never heard it in its entirety.

One Hit Wonders
Music: it can move you and it can make you move. From happiness to sadness, fear to calm, it is a constant in most of our lives, be it listening in the car, getting pumped up during a workout, or the soundtrack to a movie or show. Most of us will excitedly play songs for family and friends, trying to share a new favorite or deep lyrical content… but then there are the ones we don’t share. The one-hit wonders that are quickly forgotten about and left deep in the recesses of our mind or hidden for us to jam out with in the car. Some of these are really great, some are not. Here are ten of my least favorite one hit wonders, yet even as much as they suck, most of us still catch ourselves singing or humming along:
