It’s cliché to say that an artist doesn’t fit into a genre. For Sophie Powers, it’s true. This is the result of someone making music that sounds cool rather than what she thinks people want to hear. Audiences know when an artist is original, and that’s the key to Powers’ early success. Musically, the Toronto

Olivia Rodrigo almost cut one of the most iconic and most memorable lines from her latest hit song, “vampire.” In a new interview with Audacy’s The Julia Show, Rodrigo revealed that “It was actually a debate whether or not ‘fame f—er’ should be in the song” because it’s “not relatable.” The chorus of the song calls

Remember the era of summer blockbusters? Every weekend of the summer, families, friend groups, budding romances, and solo cinema lovers alike would pack into their local theatres to watch the latest, hottest summer film. For a while, there’d be one or two movies that would own the summer — plus a smattering of stragglers that

Interview and Photos by Jordan Edwards Roe Kapara is a talented songwriter who’s created his own world that’s both macabre and endearing. His aesthetics, with references to death, religion, and past decades, build a surreal atmosphere that’s helped make him popular on social media. Kapara’s latest single, “Before We Croak,” is a great example. A

On July 14, BTS‘ Jungkook released his debut solo single, “Seven,” featuring American rapper Latto, and fans immediately reacted to the song’s lyrics and music video online.

BTS are globally beloved for their music, so it’s understandable that fans want to hear as much of it as possible. However, one man went to some wild lengths to obtain access to BTS’ unreleased music. A 28-year-old Korean man who posed as a member of BTS in order to obtain and leak unreleased music has

I mentioned in my last article about The Idol that I felt this sick curiosity as a writer to watch the show. If you didn’t gather from my review of episodes 1-3, I was quickly reminded why sometimes you need to listen to the general public. Sam Levinson and The Weeknd’s Max original is something

Was there something between Jake Owen and Taylor Swift back in the day? While the pop star is known for writing cryptic lyrics about her past lovers, Owen is not one of them. In 2010, Swift released “Sparks Fly” and mentioned Portland, Ore., where the two happened to have played a show together. This set

What could have been a cruel summer for the hotel industry is no more thanks to Taylor Swift’s massive U.S. tour. According to Fox Business, the Philadelphia Federal Reserve office has directly credited Swift’s Eras Tour for boosting hotel revenues for the first time since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. The Federal Reserve reported that

Picture me with my stepmother in a college neighborhood in Seattle. We’re looking for something to do, preferably with air conditioning. We’ve sampled the artisanal ice cream shop on the main street (every college has one). But our rapidly melting cones’ reprieve from the heat was short-lived. We head to a small theatre. We decide

There has been a wave of YouTubers and influencers shifting towards music lately. Few have done it as convincingly as Tessa Violet. The former model scored a viral hit in 2018 with “Crush” and established herself as a versatile pop singer whose quirky personality translated perfectly into song lyrics. The amazing production didn’t hurt. Now

In an exclusive chat with PopCrush Nights host Donny Meacham, Olivia Rodrigo gives some insight on the meaning behind her new hit single, “vampire.” Meacham notes that when he first heard the song, he picked up that it’s about “seeing all the red flags” in a relationship, but unfortunately “seeing all the red flags too

Between Ticketmaster crashing and people reselling their tickets for thousands of dollars, the mayhem that the Eras tour has caused so far is ridiculous. Sales for her European leg have started. To avoid the chaos that ensued when the US tickets were released, there is no general sale for these tickets. Only those people who’ve

If you’ve ever been sitting on your couch listening to the same playlist of songs you hyper-fixate on…same. I play the same songs on repeat once I find them until I am unable to listen for months after. It’s exhausting, and probably a bit unhealthy, but it’s the only way I know. So I cycle

If you look at Stadiumx’s discography, you’ll realize their career is prolific…to say the very least. For over a decade now, they have an impressive career both collaborating with artists and releasing their own music. Beginning in 2014, platinum-certified record, “Howl At The Moon”, was Ultra Music Festival’s most played song that year. But for

Before Sarah Hyland achieved global fame as Haley Dunphy in Modern Family, she was born and raised a New York teen, trying on makeup at Sephora before dance class. “As a little girl growing up in New York City, I would walk into Sephora and do all the free trials,” Sarah told me, sitting at

We are entering day 73 of the Writer’s Guild strike, where writers for all your favorite TV shows have stopped writing altogether in the midst of contract negotiations. Yes, that indeed means your fave shows are being delayed…you may as well say goodbye to Euphoria, which now is projected to be released in 2026 due

On June 30, Gabi DeMartino released her latest single “Heaven.” More than a year in the the making, the track is perhaps her most confessional. Using lyrics from the 1957 film An Affair to Remember, the song reveals the truth behind her broken engagement to ex-fiancé Collin Vogt. Along with her sister Niki, Gabi DeMartino

Even if you haven’t heard of the brand Sporty & Rich, you’ve probably seen their clothes all over Instagram. With an aesthetic inspired by vintage editorial branding and streetwear-turned-athleisure, the brand was ripe for social media success. But it’s her keen eye for catching trends right before they take off that led founder Emily Oberg
