1. On January 16th, fans of indie music around the world rejoiced as popular indie artist Mitski officially announced the release date of her new album, “Nothing’s About to Happen to Me, ” after teasing the arrival with the release of her new single, “Where’s My Phone?”
The eighth addition to Mitski’s discography came out on February 27th, with mainly positive reviews from critics and fans. In its first week since being released, the album has gotten over 37 million streams on Spotify. But it poses the question: does her new album live up to all the hype it’s received?

2. Formerly the tenth member of the 12-piece South Korean girl group LOONA, Chuu began her solo music endeavors in late 2023. Admittedly, I hadn’t been keeping up with her work as much as the other former LOONA members. During her time in LOONA, Chuu had served as the bright, energetic member. Chuu’s retained her vibrancy in her solo music for the most part.. Despite this, her musical identity has always felt a little flimsy. I’d enjoyed her discography, but none of her songs really stuck with me, so I was excited to hear her plans for a studio album.
Released January 7th, “XO, My Cyberlove” serves some of Chuu’s best songs while also serving some of her worst;some tracks absolutely changed my life, while others feel more like dull filler.
