Rihanna’s Anti possibly the album of the year already?

Pop princess Rihanna is normally known for her clean cut songs about diamonds and people making her feel like the only girl in the world, but in recent years Rihanna has become known as bad girl ri ri, the pop princess that’s trying to distance herself away from that image of the clean cut wholesome pop star. And four years after her last album Unapologetic Rihanna is back with her 8 th studio album Anti and to say it’s not an incredible album well that’s just a massive lie. From the opening song “Consideration “ you know that with this album Rihanna is making a statement about who she is and the type of music that she wants to make, in past years Rihanna has been known for taking a back seat when it comes to making her albums but with this album it’s a completely different story. Two lines that particularly stick out to me in the first track is “I’ve got to do things my own way darling, will you ever let me will you ever respect me “and “let me cover your shit in glitter I can m

Why Whatever People Say I Am That's What Im Not is so important even ten years later.

Ten years ago on this day Arctic Monk eys released they debut album, Whatever People S ay I  Am That’s What I’m N ot, and  even now  ten  whole  years later its still one of the most important  debut  albums ever released, personally this album was a bit of a turning point for me even at the mere age of seven  I was memorised by these four lads from High Green in Sheffield singing about someone looking good on the dancefloor and how I shouldn’t believe the hype, I knew that  one day this album would  mean a lot to me and to be fair I wasn’t wrong.  Even though 2013/2014 was the two year period that my Arctic Monkeys phrase really hit its peak (I’m so sorry if you knew me during this time it was  an  ugly  phrase ) this album still really means a lot to me and I kind of fee l  like it will always have a rather big  place in my heart and I’m sure  that this album   means the same  too for a lot of people.

The Man Who Fell To Earth.

I’ve always thought the expression you don’t know what you have until it’s gone was a rather cringe worthy expression, but in this case it’s the truest thing I’ve ever possibly heard. David Bowie the man that meant a huge amount to a large amount of people, the man that I personally thought would out live us all is sadly no longer with us after a 18 month battle with cancer, Bowie passed away peacefully with his family by his side at the age of 69 in New York. I’m not particularly sure why I’m writing this because no words can justify how much I adore this man and how truly heartbroken and devastated I am that the man that means everything to me is no longer here, ever since I was four years old and my mum insisted that I watch the labyrinth even though it scared the shit out of me and it still does now, ever since I heard heroes this man has been my hero and he always will be. I feel like a part of me has died and of course I don’t think I’m the only one who feels this way, per
