On BANKS’ critically-acclaimed third record, III, growth is not an option. It is the ONLY way out of the messiness explored on the album. Between learning to reclaim her fierceness and hitting rock bottom in love, BANKS’ versatility and known insightful perspective was more powerful than ever. As one of the most intelligent, psychologically deep musicians of this generation, BANKS has never had a problem with making records that mixes deep thinking with relatability, backed by her signature catchy, glitchy sound. On III, there’s a certain level of realness encompassing it that very few artists can do.

Once again, Aly & AJ have knocked it out of the park with another stellar record: Silver Deliverer. Recorded and created amidst their With Love From tour and Aly’s then-pregnancy, you could truly feel all the feels from the eleven-track effort. Surrounded by coastal sounds and free-spirited energy, with some heavier topics weaved in (loss of a personal friend and a tour tragedy), it was the most intricate, emotional, and rawest form of the sister-duo yet.

I was already annoyed at the zero accountability taken at the VPR S10 reunion by Tom and Raquel. I don't want a repeat of that with Amanda and West at the Summer House reunion. Respect yourselves and take the blame.

When I first watched Demi Lovato’s docu-series, Dancing With The Devil, five years ago, it was truly one of the most painful things I’ve ever seen from someone who’s been one of my biggest role models for most of my life. When she released her album, it instantly became of the most powerful records to ever exist in the world.

Don’t be alarmed by the title…not a finale! Just a (lame) play on the iconic 2007 single that made a WILD comeback in 2025 by the one and only, Hilary Duff! And on this week’s episode, we’re diving into the former teen queen’s first album in 11 years, luck…or something!
