Three New Bands/Artists You Should Listen to Right Now

Ever since I started undergraduate school I've been smothered in so much music it's almost suffocating. But it's the good kind of suffocation where you're hugging someone you haven't seen in a while and you're hugging each other so tight you can't breathe.

From classical, to 80's to contemporary and music that doesn't even have a genre, I think experiencing new music can make you more open minded and more creative.

I have listened to several new artists these past couple of months but I am going to pin point the exact ones who have given me twice the creativity.

1. Dodie Clark

From London, England, Dodie Clark started her YouTube channel in February of 2011. Since then she's become quite the little internet super star. With 740k subscribers her soft voice and quick ukulele strums will have you nostalgically staring outside the window on a rainy Spring afternoon.

She just wrapped up a short US tour opening for Tessa Violet, I believe and she is just beaming! I follow her on Twitter and she's so adorable.

If you like fun acoustic music she's probably the best fit for you. She just released her first EP Intertwined literally days ago (to which I pre ordered weeks prior), and for $6 her beautifully written and touching choruses will send you into a peaceful and euphoric state. And if you have Spotify Premium or Apple Music it is also available for streaming.

She's also recently opened up about being bisexual and is quite possibly the sweetest human being on the face of the planet. Go check out her YouTube and then buy her EP!

2. Keaton Henson

Another artist from London whom a good friend introduced me to. His music is so beautifully symphonic and warm. No exaggeration, but I was listening to him during a cold day and for some reason my body became a radiator because it was that intense.

When you listen to his music, especially with headphones, it sounds like you're in the room with him. His voice is so raw and gentle at the same time. It's almost kind of creepy but in a beautiful way. You've never experienced intimate music until you listen to his.

With a new release this year of Kindly Now, he's going on tour soon so catch those tickets or at least give his music a listen. My creativity has skyrocketed since then.

3. Kodaline

Oh. My. God.

Now some of you may or may not have heard them but if you haven't, educate yourself!

Dublin based quartet with some very nice facial hair, Kodaline has turned into my new favorite alternative band. I learned about them when I was writing an essay for my class and I had to write about a song from a movie soundtrack. I chose TFiOS soundtrack and they're song "All I Want" turned into the song I chose to write about and quite possibly my favorite song for some time.

They easily go from intimate with an effortless voice to fun and upbeat. They honestly blow me away. Check them out! They just released their Live and Ready EP where they do they take their most famous songs and recorded them live in front of a crowd and last year released their second studio album Coming Up For Air

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
