TGIF! It’s Friday, yay! You made it through the week. GOOD JOB! Anyways, since it’s the end of the week that means that it is Artist of the Week.

I have decided to feature Ella Mai this week!

Her R&B music is FIRE. She currently has 3 EPs released and if you listen to them chronologically, you can hear her grow as a lyricist. Ella Mai is on opening for Kehlani on the SweetSexySavage Tour! I will be seeing both of these kickass women in June when they go to Santa Cruz! Hope to maybe see you there 😉

BACKGROUND: She is from Southwest London who had lived in New York City when she was 12 and moved back to England once she finished high school. In 2014, Ella Man competed in the X Factor UK competition with two others. Their trio was named Arize. Unfortunately, their journey was stopped after their first audition with the judges. Arize decided to break up but Ella Mai knew that music was in her blood. She decided to upload an EP onto SoundCloud. However, it was her covers on Instagram that lead to being discovered by DJ Mustard (Most known for, blah blah). She was then signed to his label, 10 Summers. Under the production of DJ Mustard, she released her 3 EPs. NOTES:

Time EP - February 2016

“Switch Sider” [ccc]

“She Don’t Ft. TyDolla$ign” - You WILL NOT regret listening to this one. It’s the ultimate “fuck you to your ex” song by telling him how much better you are.

“One Day” [cc]

“Don’t Want You” - If you want to tell your ex that you don’t need his ass anymore, this is the one!

“Old Dog, New Bitch” [ccc]

“A Thousand Times” [cc]

Change EP - November 2016

“Down” [ccc]

“Who Knew” [ccc]

“10,000 Hours” - This song is about wanting to spend all your time with the one that you want to fall in love with. So, so cute 😭

“Lay Up” [cc]

“Found” - Listening to this song will help you appreciate the partner that you have. It’s kind of just a thank you to them for being there for you.

Ready EP - February 2017

“Boo’d Up” - You are held down! The song title is in the song in a really creative way. Chris Brown also recently raved about it!

“Breakfast In Bed” [ccc]

“Nobody Else” [ccc]

“My Way” [ccc]

“Makes Me Wonder” [cc]

“Anymore” - Saying goodbye to your lover? This is how you could tell him he won’t have any more of you anymore (lol see what I did there?).

IT’S THURSDAY- WOOT WOOT! You have one more day until Friday. Good job for making it through the week! I know it was hard for me as well. Since it is Thursday, I have a Surprise for you! I going to tell you all about the inspiration behind my first song and how it changed everything for me.

On your list of priorities I'm pretty sure I'm the last And you don't know how much it hurts to say I worship you but to you I don't mean a damn thing So I guess this is when I should walk away

Can't you see that I would do anything for you People call me foolish and tell me we are through But I still hold on to the possibility That someday you may feel the same way about me But maybe that's just wishful thinking

I've lost track of how many times you broke my heart And you don't even have a single clue I could scream I hate you but it won't change a thing Because in my heart I know that it's not true

Can't you see that I would do anything for you People call me foolish and tell me we are through But I still hold on to the possibility That someday you may feel the same way about me But maybe that's just wishful thinking

I guess I should come to terms with us I can't believe that I've been so blind So please don't ask me to come back There's no way I'll change my mind

Can't you see that I would have done anything for you People called me foolish and told me were through I used to hold on to the possibility That you would feel the same way about me

Ohhhhhhh Can't you see that I would have done anything for you People called me foolish and told me were through I used to hold on to the possibility That you would feel the same way about me And I now know that that was wishful thinking

Oh that was wishful thinking Oh that was wishful thinking

“Wishful Thinking” originated from a book actually. I enjoy reading romantic comedies (I know, sue me). In the book, the protagonist asked themselves if their love interest would fight for them. But then, they shook their heads and told themselves that it was wishful thinking. Those two words stuck out to me in particular and I saved them in a note on my phone.

A few months later, I revisited the title and just got inspired to write the song. Okay. Here’s when it gets a little sad, so I must warn you. I have previously had the first two lines of the song written somewhere else and I decided to roll with it from there. Those two lines were about my mom. They were really just about how I felt during my first year of college. However, the influence from there on out was more to anyone who did not put me first when I put them first.

Like I said before, this song changed everything for me. If you don’t know, I struggle with depression. I finished this song during the summer after my second year. My second year was a dark time but this song lit a little light in my life. I did not have the nerve to post it publicly until that November though. It took a lot of courage. You should have seen the state that I was in! One of my best friends Logan saw it and she was stressed out watching me hahaha. But since then, I have had a lot more confidence in my music and my love for it has grown.

Thanks for listening! See you soon. x Christy

Hi everyone! It’s Wednesday so you know what that means… It is Video on YouTube! If you follow me on YouTube, then you may have already seen this video when it published a couple of days ago (Surprise!).

I actually filmed this video the day before Harry Styles released his album but having to publish it took. FOR. EVER. Let me tell you, it was absolutely terrible! But I’m getting off track… Here’s a video of my review of Harry Styles’ new album, Harry Styles. (lol did you giggle in your head too?)  Also, I threw in some of my thoughts about his career. This is honestly probably the first time that I have showed my true odd self so I hope you enjoy watching hahaha.

I liked doing little snapshots of the day before so here was Tuesday, May 15th!

Found out that Ed Sheeran actually SUCKED at singing when he was little. I found the video on Facebook and it cracked me up!

The DJ who made the remix that I posted yesterday liked my tweet so ya know ya girl’s making moves (LOL SIKE)

I have made it my goal this week to learn all of the lyrics to “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee ft. Justin Bieber

I still didn’t get around to watching Harry’s Behind the Album film… Obviously my priorities weren’t in order

Did another major construction of the blog. I honestly have a good feeling about this one though

I just remembered how handsome Logic is. So ultimately that lead to me listening to his new album, Everybody. RECOMMEND THAT YOU LISTEN TO IT BY THE WAY.

Well once again, I hope you have a fabulous day. Go ahead and head to the ask link at the top if you have any questions or just want to chat!

Thanks for listening! See you soon. x Christy

Here is my first Song of the Week! I’m so happy to include my babe, Kehlani, on my first week of running this blog. I’ve chosen to feature her “Undercover (Devault Remix). I’m obsessed with Sweet, Sexy, Savage and I highly recommend listening to that album if you haven’t gotten the chance! This “Undercover” has an EDM flare to it that spices up an already awesome song.

Key Notes:

Soft piano in the beginning with a gradual beat adds a sensual flare 

The build up to the drops are awesome af. To me, it is the perfect amount of time and doesn’t move too quickly.

The drops = OMG. OMG. OMG. They are literally perfection. It’s not too much but just enough for you to dance along and not get too caught up in the music itself or even be put off by it.

I also appreciate how the lyrics are exactly the same and that there wasn’t any big changes.

Favorite part: Kehlani singing “Fuck it” during the second drop.

Yesterday was pretty hectic if you didn’t follow along with me on Twitter. Let me give you the run down.

Calvin Harris released “Rollin” featuring Future and Khalid.

Found out about the one day “Summertime in the LBC” festival with 50 Cent, YG and the Wu-Tang Clan headlining.

Found out about another one day festival that will be in the Bay Area called “Auditastic” with Marshmello, Lil Uzi Vert, NGHTMARE, Flosstradamus and so much more

Edited the blog A TON

Found out about Khalid going on tour

Remembered that Harry Styles (the love of my life) would be on James Cordon (my fav late night host) ALL FUCKING WEEK LONG

Finished 3 different songs last night at 4 A.M.

So yeah, it was kind of stressful for me hahaha. Thanks for listening! See you soon. x Christy

CORRECTION: YG will be performing at Queen Mary Park- adjacent to the ship. He will be headlining at a one day festival called "Summertime in the LBC" alongside 50 Cent and the Wu-Tang Clan.

About Me.

Hi everyone! My name is Christy and I thought that it would be awesome for me to have a place to talk about my love for music. My goal for this whole project is to be completely me and not censor what I think or feel. During my second year of college, I discovered that I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. Music has been a part of my life since I was a little girl and it was during this time that I decided to pursue a career in it. During the summer of 2016, I had the opportunity to be an A&R intern for an artist management company in LA. It was the most fun that I’ve had. My job was to listen to music everyday and go to a ton of different shows. I highly suggest doing something similar if you have a passion for music. It changed the way I thought about music and showed me the different careers that are possible in music.

I love everything about music. I love listening to new music, discovering new sounds and analyzing lyrics. The way that it can make you feel and how it can open your eyes to different walks of life… Oh my god. I need to stop simping hahahaha.

Welp, here we go. Thanks for wanting to join me and following along. Feel free to message me through link on the sidebar! I would love to hear from you and talk to you anything at all :)

x Christy
