Customize Your Listening Experience with Lucid Audio Headphones
Music is one of the very few things in life that is both personal and public at the same time. Everyone experiences music a little differently, and will have different reactions to the same song. Everyone who goes to concerts knows that what we hear will differ from person to person due to the way our ears process it.

Ariana Grande has made headlines with her single "Thank u, next" streamed by millions since it was released in November and now she will be the fourth female to ever headline Coachella 2019. And this number itself is somewhat of a systematic issue on Coachella's part, along with other major music festivals all around the world that spotlight more female artists that are worthy of having a headlining spot.
Mikyah HendersonPublished 5 years ago in BeatDiscovered in 2018 Playlist
This playlist article was requested by a few of my friends and is definitely something I wanted to do either way! If you're anything like me, you know that painful feeling of boredom after you've listened to all of your songs and overplayed them to your heart's content. Then, you go on a search for new music, right? Well, this is meant to be a pit-stop on that journey, and hopefully you'll want to come back for more.
Album of 2018: 'LM5'
As someone who appreciates music from all genres, my opinion on music is varied. Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd is the album I consider to be the best of all time; however my personal favourite album of all time is Eye to the Telescope by KT Tunstall. Selecting LM5 as the best album of this year for me was tough and I absolutely have to give a shout out to Janelle Monae with Dirty Computer and Ariana Grande with Sweetner; however, Little Mix just delivered for me in 2018.

I remember first hearing Orgy's "Blue Monday" song for the first time. I was 12 years old and had managed to sneak away in order to listen to some music on the net for the first time. It was a song that really resonated with me, and when I saw the music video, I was blown away.

"All I want is to breathe." I hear you, David, I really do. It's sweltering in the Hammersmith Apollo in west London, and the sweat is pouring off me. And the beat goes on, as Byrne's band power through the opening track from Talking Heads' Remain in Light album, "Born Under Punches."
Andrew BeasleyPublished 5 years ago in BeatTimmy Xu—the Future Star You Need to Hear
It takes a lot for me to be truly captivated by an artist. Sure, there are lots of bands or acts I listen to for various purposes, such as for background music whilst cleaning, or to relive an old memory; but to truly enjoy an artist and all they have to offer, I have to feel connected to the music.
Nathan SartainPublished 5 years ago in BeatBeyond the Mainstream: YouTube
I get pretty tired of the radio. Not the content so much as the format of it. They take a good song and proceed to viciously stomp its every beat and tempo switch into your brain to entice you to keep returning to that specific radio program—which, yeah from a business standpoint, I understand but as a music lover, it just kind of makes me tired. So most days I actually connect to my phone Bluetooth and cruise some channels on YouTube that I stumble upon at home when I've got the proper amount of time to coast the search results for whatever music style I'm digging at the moment. I've come across some real gems on YouTube, and I always suggest these channels to my friends when they admit to wanting to find some new music different from the overplayed "Top 40 hits."

Have you ever listened to a new song and you could envision your own music video in your head? It happens to me all the time. Then the artist releases the official music video and it isn't quite what you imagined.
I Got Into a Sold Out Concert. Here’s How It Happened.
If there’s one thing I’m terrible at, it’s planning my weekend schedule. When it comes to events I want to go to, I often will forget to buy tickets until the day of the concert. If I don’t forget, I tend to have bad luck and often will log on at a time where tickets have all but sold out.
Ossiana TepfenhartPublished 5 years ago in BeatBoy Bands, Pop Punk Bands, and Solo Artists Oh My!
My music taste has quite the range and this list reflects bands and artists within that range that in my opinion everyone should listen to. After you've listened to them through a streaming service, I would also suggest seeing them live because we all know live music is even better. The bands and artists are listed based on the categories in this post's title and do not reflect any ranking of any sort—each musician listed here deserves an equal amount of love.
Lindsay LongacrePublished 6 years ago in BeatReview of Twenty One Pilots' New LP 'Trench'
The 2015 release of Twenty One Pilots' junior LP Blurryface had initiated an era of sensationalism for members Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun. Their record’s transition away from quirky alternative pop and towards a more mainstream synth-pop outfit triggered a storm of industry recognition and mixed fan responses, placing Twenty One Pilots at the center of pop music discussion. After two years of relentlessly touring on Blurryface, the duo had stepped down from their international platform to begin working on what is now the fifth addition to their discography, Trench, released October 5. Comprised of their style’s chaotic charm and a backbone of heavy electronic dub, this concept album marks a new age in the timeline of this band’s ever-developing sound.
