An exclusive double-feature interview

On Wednesday, May 15, thousands flocked to Barclay’s Center in the heart of Brooklyn, New York. It wasn’t for the Brooklyn Nets or even the Islanders…but perhaps an even more special event: to be among the first people to hear Billie Eilish’s new album, HIT ME HARD AND SOFT.

(Or is that just a wish?) Either way, […]

Welcome to the weekend! Each week, Friday breathes new life into me for a few reasons. First, it means I won’t have to think about work for a few days (and I know you all feel the same). And then there’s the promise of a whole host of new music flooding our Spotify apps. Yes, […]
