Benson Boone’s debut studio pop-rock album, titled “Fireworks & Rollerblades,” was released on Friday, April 5. The 21-year-old upstart has risen to prominence over the past year with notable songs such as “Ghost Town” and “In the Stars.” As his following continued to grow on platforms such as TikTok, his first album received more anticipation than he could’ve ever hoped for.

Out with one era, in with another: once again, mega-popstar Taylor Swift has returned with a new installment to her discography. Poignantly titled “THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT,” Swift’s 11th studio album is a carefully curated look into a shattered heart following the end of a passionate relationship. This time, she’s letting listeners hear more about her life than ever before (which, in comparison to Swift’s previous work, is quite the statement in itself). 

The song “End of Beginning” by Djo has become the latest TikTok-turned-real-world hit. The song has taken the social media platform and the charts by storm. The identity behind Djo (pronounced “Joe”) is a name that might sound familiar – Joe Keery, who plays Steve Harrington in Netflix’s hit show “Stranger Things.” That’s not the only thing listed on Keery’s resume, which also includes 10 films, eight television shows and five albums.

The term “renaissance” refers to a rebirth: a time of transition and transformation that involves artistic and cultural revival. As the COVID-19 lockdown began to end, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter felt a renaissance emerging, and she wanted to be a nurturing part of it. Beyoncé’s album “Renaissance” was born to share love, confidence and joy and is part of a three-act musical project. 

Derek Smith, known by his stage name Mod Sun, released his newest album, “God Save The Teen” on Friday, Feb. 3, almost two years after the release of his genre-shifting, pop-punk album “Internet Killed the Rockstar.”

Given that Carey’s trademark was an uncanny ability to run up and down a scale, it is odd to hear so little of that talent remaining. 

It’s curious that their success has not rivaled that of former competition Fifth Harmony, given that the group is doing everything right.

In 2012, X-Factor changed the lives of five girls who would change the way women are viewed in the entertainment industry. Prior to the group, there was not a girl group as diverse, body positive, and as talented as the women of Fifth Harmony.
