Premiere: Abby Diamond- 'Sorceress' EP
David Kim

From the opening moments of Abby Diamond's 'Sorceress' EP, the listener is catapulted into another world that drowns the sound of everything around. Premiering today on Odyssey, the EP hears the New Orleans songstress lay her spellbinding vocal capabilities on top of a production that is nothing short of mystical.

The Jazz vocalist introduces us to the ethereal project with "There's A Light In The Room" whose R&B-meets-electronic composition finds its footing in a myriad of experimental sounds creating an incredibly rich soundscape. Moving deeper into the six track project that is co-produced by Blue Hawaii, stand out tracks "yes my heart is open, no you can't come in" and "Good" showcase Diamond's delivery which balances between both featherweight vocal trills and chill-induing vibrato.

After listening to this project, it comes of little surprise that Diamond has been tapped by artists including Dr.Dre, Neon Indian, Gryffin, Mystery Skulls, French Horn Rebellion, and Hoodie Allen. Keep a close eye on this incredible vocalist, composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist as her journey seems to only have just begun.

"Sorcery is the art of creating in the world what you see in your head. This record came together as a concept project broken into two parts, an EP (co-produced by Blue Hawaii) and a feminist coffee table art book. Together, they are a sonic and visual illustration of some of the things I've been thinking about for the last two years. A depiction of how I grapple with what it means to be a woman in my body."

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
