The Chainsmokers: Collage EP

The best yet.

Your EDM

I woke up this morning to realize that The Chainsmokers have dropped their 2nd EP out today: Collage EP. The dynamic duo released their first EP, Bouquet, in 2015 which had the hit Roses on it. This might be my favorite EP to ever be released to date. If you are a big fan of the The Chainsmokers like myself, you will know that this new EP is fire. Collage has five smash hits, many that have already been out as singles. The five songs include: All We Know, Closer, Inside Out, Don't Let Me Down, and their newest song, released today (November 4, 2016), Setting Fires. Here is my review.

1. All We Know ft. Phoebe Ryan

When I found out Phoebe Ryan was the voice for this song, I was absolutely thrilled. I discovered her when I heard her song 'Mine' and immediately continue to follow her music. I think she has a very distinct voice. Matching up with Drew's voice as well just makes everything better. I am very happy to see The Chainsmokers explore more in their music by adding Drew's voice into the mix. Especially in the next song...

2. Closer ft. Halsey

I think we all know this one. This is arguably the most popular song ever recorded by The Chainsmokers. 'Don't Let Me Down' comes in a very close second, but as of now 'Closer' has been #1 on the Billboard Top 100 but 11 weeks in a row! How crazy is that! With Halsey's good looks and breath-taking voice, who wouldn't want to listen. And not to mention how sexy the video for this song is. Gives me feels every time I watch it.

3. Inside Out ft. Charlee

'Inside Out' may be the least popular of the five on the EP. Not because people don't like it, but I don't think it has gotten enough mainstream time, credit, etc. for how great this tune really is. Charlee was a new artist to listen to for me. I think her voice was absolutely perfect for this song. 'Inside Out' is more of a love song for me and definitely has a slower tempo out of the five. Still brings in The Chainsmokers beat and flare.

4. Don't Let Me Down ft. Daya

Classic party song. Every knows all the words at parties and screams the at the top of their lungs. You got to give credit to Daya. She's 18 and has a platinum selling song as well as an amazing first self-entitled album. Very well accomplished for her age. The beat drops and a funky beat plays; you can't control your body as it moves. It's a catchy tune that you won't forget.

5. Setting Fires Ft. XYLØ

This song is their newest single. I definitely think this fits in a long with the overall EP but it definitely adds a little extra spunk. Just like Charlee, I have never heard of XYLØ before so I have very excited to hear a new artist and fall in love with her voice. When artists use their audience to help other maybe more unknown artists get some exposure, I absolutely love it. We are able to expand our musical palette and fall in love with another amazing artist.

After The Chainsmokers broke into mainstream music from their hit 'Selfie', it has been nothing but hit after hit. From all of us Chainsmoker fans, we thank you for that. Please continue to produce and release more jams that we can rock out to wherever we are. 10/10 for me.

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
