Music has always played an essential role in my life. Wherever I go or do, I still have my music with me, especially during this time where everyone must stay-at-home. I am one of the few who got lucky and has a job that falls under the essential category.

Introduction: meet Dreamcatcher As the Korean music scene grows in popularity, many groups form and try to copy previous success. However, Dreamcatcher has always been true to their mysterious and epic concepts throughout their career, since debuting in 2017. This group has made a song in almost every genre. "Sleepwalking" from their 2017 mini album Prequel-EP features distinct electronic synthesizers and 808 bass. While off their latest album Dystopia: The tree of language B-side track "Red Sun" sports gothic costumes and heavy hitting classical organ give the song a spooky vibe. This contrasts against the other rock and R&B songs from other albums. Dreamcatcher also takes their music into their own hands, even though they are part of a entertainment company. The members write lyrics, co-produce, and even create the choreography for some of their songs.

Phill RossPublished 4 years ago in BeatDua Lipa Future Nostalgia was a club and dancing hopeful?
For anyone who knows my music preferences well, they know I like a little bit of everything, primary Hip-hop, RnB and Pop. But I dabble into other genres too because different styles of music activates triggers differently depending on what’s being listened to. This article won’t go over the physics of music theory nor how it affects the human‘s mood, however there’s a few songs that I’d decided to play over and over due to boredom and being stuck in quarentine. They say to treat your mental health with self care, which i have been doing, but I’d noticed how I also would be singing a few songs off of the Newly rising British Pop Star Dua Lipa with her acclaimed album Future Nostalgia.
Kyle SmithPublished 4 years ago in BeatBest of Last Year: Titanic Rising - Weyes Blood
Many artists seem to be incredibly invested in lyrical content nowadays, almost to the point where the musicality seems to falter because of that. Weyes Blood is a perfect example of someone who seems to hold musicality over lyrics, which, in the case of this album, is actually a good thing.
