5 Artists You Should Check Out On Spotify

If there's one thing that's constantly evolving and changing as the years go by, it's the music industry. New genres have evolved, artists have peaked and fallen, and with the progressing technology we've been able to create new techniques and sounds for what we play on the airwaves. Here's a list of 5 artists that have captured this millennium that you should check out on Spotify.


1. Marian Hill

An American song-writing duo from Philadelphia, Jeremy Lloyd and Samantha Gongol are taking the music industry by storm with their incredible sexy iconic jazz sound. Some hits that are personal favorites of mine are "Lovit" (2015) and "Down" (2016).


2. Racing Glaciers

An English rock band, Racing Glaciers slid onto the music scene in 2012. Since then, they've come out with an album titled "Caught in the Strange" just this year, a previous 3 EP's, and have released five singles, my favorite of which being "Moths" (2014). The band members include Tim Monaghan, Danny Thorpe, Matt Scheepers, Gwil Sainsbury, Simon John Anderson and Matt Welch

3. Oh Wonder

Londyn-based alt-pop duo Oh Wonder, comprising of Josephine Vander Gucht and Anthony West, have seen international success with their alt-pop singles. The two recorded and released one song a month for a year, starting in September 2014. All of the songs were released together as in September 2015. "Shark," my favorite release of their singles, was the second to be released in the string of songs that were collected on the self-titled release. Another, "Dazzle," will leave you feeling like you've been just that- dazzled.

4. Matt Jaffe and the Distractions

If you find yourself vibing with the late-70s U.S. and British new wave, hashed in with "an energetic blend of power-pop, punk, and country ballad," (best described on their Wikipedia page as such) then Matt Jaffe and the Distractions are a group you should definitely look into. Their first EP, Blast Off, was released in 2015, and my favorite single featured on the album is "No Hesitation." Matt Jaffe’s band, The Distractions (referencing Elvis Costello’s first backing band, The Attractions), consists of Alex Newell on guitar, Sammie Fischer on bass and Alex Coltharp on drums.

5. Incan Abraham

In 2014, Incan Abraham released an album titled "Tolerance" that debuted a fantastic band of songs. My favorite pick of the bunch is titled "Concorde," a track that happened to be featured in Season 1 of Scream (which is how I came across it!).

I hope this list was enjoyable — follow me on social media and let me know what songs featured by these artists are your favorites, or suggest more artists and songs I should give a listen. :)

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
