In her new album, "GUTS," Olivia Rodrigo shows listeners a transition in her lyrics as she goes from being a teenager to a young adult.

Rodrigo keeps sound consistent in ‘Guts’

By Jadyn Davis, Senior writer • September 12, 2023
Following the success of her debut album “SOUR,” Olivia Rodrigo’s second album “GUTS,” shows that she is no longer the 17-year-old Disney kid singing about getting her driver's license, but now a 20-year-old who is having fun as she navigates young adulthood.
Slowdive's new alum, "everything is alive" maintains their original '80s, '90s sound while appealing to new listeners.

Review: Slowdive’s newest album is an ethereal experience

By Rowan Keller Smith, Staff Writer • September 5, 2023
“The prayers of Saint Christopher / Travelers and stones / And ghosts on the river / Days fold into the end / Know I ran the Roman head / And you are the heart / The prayer I remember.” The mention of Saint Christopher, the patron saint of travelers, is perfect given that “everything is alive” will make the listener feel like they are being uprooted and taken on a surreal, psychedelic pilgrimage.

Hozier’s New Album Proves to be Unreal

By Matt Minton, Senior Staff Writer • August 28, 2023
What sets “Unreal Unearth” apart is its clear influence drawn from “Dante’s Inferno.” Whether it be the feeling of wanting to run away and hide in the shadows in “De Selby (Part 2),” the largely instrumental emptiness of hell’s void and distorted vocals in “Son of Nyx” or the world of disorder depicted in “Eat Your Young,” Hozier wastes no time bringing the listener to an image of hell. It is a world where the listener is left with nothing but infinite time and space to reflect and ultimately move on from their past mistakes.
