Musings After Reading #3: On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous (Vuong)

Hello! I’m back to tell you about another book and this time, it might be my favourite book I’ve came across this year so far! Ocean Vuong’s ‘On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous’ (amazing title btw) is a collection of short letter from the author to his mother (primarily), detailing his memories of both her andContinue

Musings After Reading #1: Love is a Mixtape (Sheffield)

The reason why I picked up this book is none other than Harry Styles: he recommend the book in one of his interviews and that’s how it found its way onto my TBR list. However, the book was not my introduction to Rob Sheffield, its writer. In fact, in 2018, I cited Sheffield’s review ofContinue

100 songs for the 2010s: Cardi B’s ‘Bodak Yellow’ #15

Hello! To finish off day 5, at #15 we have – Cardi B’s ‘Bodak Yellow’. Another song kinda overshadowed by the social media antics of the artist behind it. And it’s a shame because even for a person that is not particularly into Cardi B’s type of rap, I could see myself bopping to thisContinue

100 songs for the 2010s: Camila Cabello feat. Young Thug’s ‘Havana’ #14

Hello! And welcome to #14 entry – Camila Cabello feat. Young Thug’s ‘Havana’ – a song that you have certainly had stuck in your head at some point or another. Not an instant hit upon release but a song with staying power, ‘Havana’ presents a trend already covered at #8 – Latin American influenced music’s impactContinue

100 songs of the 2010s: Bobby Shmurda, ‘Hot N—a’ #11

Hello! And welcome to entry #11 (make a wish, hah). If #10 was one of my favourite songs, then #11 is completely new territory for me. And there is a very good reason for that (I am very very white). It was fun to read the story of this song though – Bobby Shmurda, ‘HotContinue

100 songs for the 2010s: Beyoncé’s ‘Formation’ #9

Hello! And welcome to #9 entry of the project! As hinted in the ending of #8, the ninth song of the list is the anthem of modern female empowerment – specifically the empowerment of women of colour. It’s Beyoncé’s ‘Formation’. Truthfully speaking, I feel hesitant to speak about Beyonce and her music as I amContinue

100 songs for the 2010s: Becky G & Natti Natsha’s ‘Sin Pijama’ #8

Hello! We are already on #8. Struggling but going strong. We are discussing Becky G & Natti Natsha’s ‘Sin Pijama’. Another recent entry into the list (released in 2018), ‘Sin Pijama’ showcases another change in the popular music of the last decade (in addition to the genre-defying changes of #7). Sung entirely in Spanish, ‘SinContinue

100 songs for the 2010s: Bebe Rexha & Florida Georgia Line’s ‘Meant to Be’ #7

Hello! I really need to up my introduction game because I’m already getting bored of the whole ‘Welcome to entry #*insert number here*’ thing. It’s #7, though. Bebe Rexha & Florida Georgia Line’s ‘Meant to Be’ is one of the newer entries on the list. So far, as the list is alphabetical, majority of AsContinue

100 Songs for 2010s: A series

Hello! And welcome to something a little bit different! Both those who have been reading my blog for a while and those just opened it for the first time and scrolled for 15s can tell that its main focus has been films and cinema. At the beginning (2014-2015), I would sometimes post about fashion orContinue
