We're back with another Gabby Barrett song! I really like this one! It took me a couple listens to really hear and comprehend all the lyrics and realize how genius it is!  I love her vocals on this, beautiful as usual!     10/10.

  Hey y'all! We're back to usual content after yesterday's deviation with more music from Miss Callista! As I said a few days ago, I love her music and have for several years so today we'll be reacting to a couple new, Acoustic songs!     Reckless (Official Acoustic Video): So I love this song, it's kinda like an older sister to Real To Me or Brave Girl ! Vocals are on point and the guitar is great! I feel like Callista in her truest form is just her and a guitar, because that's how she started. I really like the grainy, old movie filter on the video too!  10/10.     You Or The Highway (Official Acoustic Video): This one is GORGEOUS! I love it! It really shows that sometimes, there's no saving a relationship and you just have to drive away. Been there. This video also has the vintage film filter on it and it's simply beautiful! I love that she has an old soul and we have very similar music tastes! 10/10.     See y'all tomorrow!

  Man, I don't even know what to say. I turned my phone on about an hour ago, opened Google (a horrible decision, really) and get greeted with this ...    I will never forget the feeling of reading "One Direction singer, Liam Payne, dead." Dead. DEAD. It felt like a bullet to the heart, I couldn't speak, could barely breathe. Of course, first thing I do is go to Google, search "Liam Payne" and try to see if any other news outlets had also reported it, praying it was one of those cruel hoaxes for views.    News flash, it wasn't; beautiful, incredible, talented Liam is gone, for real...    I was sitting across from a close Directioner friend who could tell I was in shock from the look on my face and immediately asked what was wrong, to which I choked out, "Liam Payne just died." She was as shocked as I was and reached for my phone to see it for herself.    The next thing I did was open to my social site of choice, Quotev, to see if my other Dir...

  So I loved this song already, and since it's Ed , it's just like ten times more perfect! I need a whole Passenger X Sheeran album now! Somebody make this happen!   The vocals are more than there, the instrumentals are freaking beautiful and it's simply Perfect (pun intended)!  10/10.

Alright, so I've been obsessed with Callista since sometime in 2022 and I think she's honestly one of the brightest stars in modern Country music. She reminds me a lot of myself with her genre-bending influences!    Today we'll be reacting to both versions of her song, Diamond! I've heard some of this song on live videos and clips she's teased (she's the absolute Queen of teasing stuff)!    Diamond (Official Acoustic Video): Okay, the aesthetics are there! I love that it's black and white and the beads remind me a lot of her It's 'Cause I Am music video! Vocals are there and this song is just such a bop! 10/10.     Diamond (Official Lyric Video): Alright, so as an acoustic girlie, I kinda like the first version better, but this one is GREAT! I love it! Callista can Rock, she can sing Country, Blues, Gospel, Christmas (BTW, we need the full album, girlie), what can she not do!? 10/10.     See y'all tomorrow! 😎

  So I'll preface this by saying I'm not a mother so I don't feel this song like some would, but I still went on knowing I would cry because I cry at everything.    And I knew I'd cry, but I didn't know I'd ugly cry... This song is beautiful and really shows what a blessing the bond between a mother and a child (a daughter in context of this) really is.    I was blessed with a wonderful mother, but I know many didn't get that, so I hope anyone who didn't has someone they can talk to as if they were their mother.     10/10.

  So I've loved Lindsay since mid-2021 when Wasted Potential came out and she is my little Indie unknown claim! She's incredible! I remember when she first posted this song and I've loved it since then so finally getting a studio version is awesome!    It's incredible, vocals, production, the bridge, it's perfect! And sadly, I relate to it a little too much!     10/10, as always!

  Okay, so I've never watched The Hunger Games but the soundtracks have always more than delivered and so does Olivia so I was very excited for this song!     This song is so beautiful, so delicate but powerful! It sounds hurt but healing knowing that the person who hurt you can't hurt you anymore. I've been there, I think we all have.     The Lyric Video is simplistic but pretty!    And since we got one, we shall now react to the Music Video !    Very nice, gives me vibes of a Visualizer more than a Music Video though! Still very good! I wasn't expecting movie clips. Also, Liv 's dress is giving me Vampire vibes!    This is going on the soundtrack playlist for this book I'm writing right now which deals a lot with the trauma of a certain character a lot of folk know and love!    Anyway, 10/10.     See y'all tomorrow!

Alright, so after my less-than-wonderful reaction to Psychopath, I've been wondering what new Morgan stuff would sound like. This sounds like old Morgan; raw, unfiltered and heartbreakingly honest.    I actually may write a story around it, stay tuned...    I don't know, but it's beautiful. We'll have to wait until I get time to listen to the new album to see if I'm still on the boat or not, but with this song, 10/10.

  Alright, welcome back! Today we'll be talking about Niall Horan 's Encore Edition to his third album, The Show ! Earlier this year, I saw him live and he was positively wonderful and I'm still kinda shook up from it!    Now I listened to the original album a year or so ago, around the time it came out so I'll be skipping those tracks. I believe the total was 100, but I'll have to refer back to my end of year album wrap up to be sure!     (I stand corrected, it actually totaled up 110 and came in eighth on the listing).     My favorite song from the original cut was You Could Start A Cult and my gosh, I will probably never be over hearing it live! (Other things I will never get over is yelling " how obsessively adore you " and " you might save my life " to him, which I do and he did).   Alright, let's get to the part y'all came for!    You Could Start A Cult (Featuring Lizzy McAlpine). So I was excited for this, to say the least! As ...

  Well, I've already heard most of this ('cause as you know, the album's two or three years old). So here we go...     This Christmas: Alright, this is nice, probably my favorite version of this song. One issue with this song is it's a Christmas love song, like the terrible Mariah Carrey song (I will say, I like the MCR version of that song) which if Christmas music isn't a little much in itself, Christmas lovey dovey music is definitely a little much! All and all, it's not bad. 9/10.     It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas: This is one of my favorite Christmas songs, and this version is very nice! Now just to wait until it isn't eighty degrees outside and actually feels like Christmas! 10/10.     Holly Jolly Christmas: I like this song too, and this version is super cute! The only version I probably like better is Point Of Grace's from years ago! 10/10.    O Come All Ye Faithful: This is stunning, the a Capella part is gorgeous and I...

  Welcome to... The post!     So at long last, I'll be finally listening to 1989 (Taylor's Version) ! So far I've heard the original album, Wildest Dreams (Taylor's Version) , This Love (Taylor's Version) , Blank Space (Taylor's Version) ,  Is It Over Now? (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault) , Clean (Taylor's Version) and the snippet of Bad Blood (Taylor's Version) that was featured in the movie, The DC League Of Superpets . My favorite song from the original is either Wonderland , You Are In Love , Style or Out Of The Woods !    Also my ranking of the TV s is RED , Speak Now , Fearless so I'm interested to see how this changes that! Of the Vaults I haven't heard, I'm claiming Suburban Legends !    Without further ado, let's listen!    Welcome To New York (Taylor's Version): Ah, Taylor teaching us once again how to start an album! This one is extremely similar to the original and an absolute bop! Welcome To New York is a son...

  Hello. So as a die hard, lifelong Judds fan, this album was anticipated. I won't be listening to all of it because several of the featured artists I either don't know or can't stand (*cough cough* no offense, Jellyroll ).     Girls Night Out by Reba McEntire, Carly Pearce, Jennifer Nettles and Gabby Barrett. Well, a note first; I'd like to spend about five minutes in the presence of any of these incredible ladies. They've all, in some way, left a remarkable mark on my life and the way I sing and the way I write. This was incredible and I can only imagine they had as much fun recording it as I do yelling it every time it comes on my radio. 10/10.    Mama He's Crazy by Lainey Wilson and Dolly Parton. I can't even imagine getting to sing with Dolly , I mean that's insane. It's the same thing as I was in awe of Kacey Musgraves years ago when she got to sing with Miss Loretta Lynn . I mean how does one not suffocate in close quarters of all that talen...
