Everybody knows iconic black divas such as Diana Ross, Beyonce and Little Richard. If you don’t, you need to stop reading this post right now, Google them, and recite ten hail Mary’s…Wilson or J. Blige… whichever Mary you get on your knees for. In honor of Black History Month, I went through my personal musical…

Carly Rae Jepsen’s The Loneliest Time
When I heard Carly Rae Jepsen was coming out with a new, more personal album called The Loneliest Time, I thought she might be a darker and brooding Carly this time around. Nothing says distraught like the album cover; Carly wearing tulle while pensively looking over some fake pears wrapped in pearls and dead flowers…
Lucky Soul’s Hard Lines
One of the hardest things I’ve had to give up during the Coronavirus pandemic is diva stalking. Without book signings or post concert meet and greets, what’s a stalker to do? I’m forced to troll the interwebs to get my autograph fix any way possible. Last year I ordered autographed copies of Shakespears Sister’s Ride…
Paula Cole’s Revolution

The music is pure pop with fun house-like lyrics that are repetitive and able to be sung along to with just a few listens. Although she…
Paula Cole’s Ballads
I’m a huge Paula Cole fan as I’ve stated from time to time in this blog, from how I first became a fan to her incredible performing style. Paula’s new album Ballads is a personal ode to her first love, American jazz and folk music. In honor of it’s release, I’d also like to take this opportunity…
Welcome To Miami
This post is an homage to my sister (who shall remain nameless since she would rather not be affiliated with this blog, which is the greatest form of flattery) and her world famous travel blog. Trust me, it’s huge in Russia and with seniors. Last week my partner and I went to Miami on…
