5SOS MEET YOU THERE TOUR 2018

- 0 Comments0 Comments






5 Seconds Of Summer has been one of my all-time favorite bands for the past 5 years. This was my fourth time seeing them live, and they get better and better every time! 

 They opened the show with "Babylon", which is a bonus track on the deluxe edition of their new album, "Youngblood". This is one of the best songs on the album, and I know it's also a fan-favorite, so this was a great choice of a song to come out to.

The set list was the perfect mix of their older songs and songs from their new album. They actually played more of their older songs than I thought they would, but they did leave out some of my favorites like, "Good Girls", "Heartbreak Girl", and "Permanent Vacation". I loved the energy in the venue when they played their classics like;  "She's Kinda Hot", "Girls Talk Boys", "Waste The Night", "Amnesia", and of course, "She Looks So Perfect". They also played "Jet Black Heart", which is one of my favorites to hear live. I love how after all these years, everyone still knew all of the words to those songs - that made me so happy!

 Their newest album has more of a mature sound than their last 2 albums, but it still sounds very true to who they always were as a band. Songs like "Talk Fast" and "If Walls Could Talk" remind me a lot of their older music, while also being current with their newer sound. I'll go more in depth about my full review of "Youngblood" in my post next month about my favorite albums of the 2018, so be sure to subscribe and come back soon for that! 

The Meet You There Tour has by far the most extravagant stage design out of their other tours. It actually reminds me a lot of The 1975's stage for their tours with all of the neon lights. The colors of the neon lights changed with every song to fit the aesthetic of the sound.  







They are always so energetic and interactive with the crowd for every show. The crowd has the same energy, singing along to every word of every song, which adds so much to my overall experience when the people around you are enjoying the show as much as I am. 


The encore was "She Looks So Perfect" & "Youngblood", which was the perfect way to end the show!

It's hard to say what my favorite moments of the night were, because I really did love every song they played. Everything about the show was truly incredible!

I love getting to see them grow with each album they release and every performance they do. I can't wait to see what they do in the future! If you've never seen 5SOS live before, I highly recommend it - you won't be disappointed!

"party 4 u" by Charli xcx // Song Review

Image
"party 4 u" by Charli xcx is a euphoric anthem of unrequited love, a song full of glittering synths and raw emotion. She sings about throwing an entire party with the hopes that just the one person she wants to see the most will be there - a very Gatsby theme that she translated so well into this song. It is featured on her 2020 album how i'm feeling now , which was largely created in isolation and released in the thick of the pandemic in May of that year. She worked with her frequent collaborator, A.G. Cook , on this song and the rest of the album. By the time the pandemic started, they only had about half of the album finished, so they decided to go with a DIY approach while finishing the rest of how i'm feeling now .  "party 4 u" had a much longer history by that point though, as Charli said in an interview with Apple Music. "This is the oldest song on the album. For myself and A. G., this song has so much life and story," Charli said. "We...

"Denial Is A River" by Doechii // Song Review

-
Image
Doechii 's "Denial Is A River" is a sharply written story of her deeply personal struggles she has faced throughout her life, especially over the past few years. All while doing so, she also incorporates so much of her signature humor within it too. She is such a dynamic and captivating storyteller, one that is simultaneously very funny and clever, but also very real and honest.  In an interview with  Rolling Stone , Doechii opened up about the time in her life that inspired this song. "With 'Denial Is a River,' I felt some fear there because it's really me being extremely literal and vulnerable about my situation. It is a very vulnerable thing, especially as an artist," she said. "Just a little backstory, I went through a period where I was afraid to be vulnerable in my music, which is odd for me because that’s all I usually do. I was saying to my engineer, 'I don't want to talk about my feelings because right now all I feel is negativi...

When all is said and done, you'll believe God is a Woman!  I absolutely love all of the  fragrances   Ariana Grande  has released over the years, so when I found out that she was coming out with another I was so excited! Her song " God is a Woman " is also so iconic and one of my all-time favorites, so that made me look forward to it even more. I have been using it consistently for several months so I will able to give the most in-depth review I possibly can of this product. In the United States , God is a Woman  is sold exclusively at Ulta in three sizes; 1 oz for $45, 1.7 oz for $55, and 3.4 oz for $65. A travel size bottle is also available for $24.

It is also available internationally at select retailers. God is a Woman  is cruelty free, 100% vegan and made with clean ingredients that are 91% naturally der...

My World 2.0 by Justin Bieber // 15 Year Anniversary Album Review

-

The release of Justin Bieber 's My World 2.0 was a defining moment in pop culture history and signified the birth of one of the biggest phenomenon's the music industry has ever seen. My World 2.0  had an undeniable impact on music trends of the early 2010s and truly solidified him as the voice of a new generation. His career took off at lightning speed, propelling a then 16-year-old boy from a small town in Canada to a global sensation overnight.  My World 2.0  was Justin's first full length album, following the release of his debut EP called My World a few months prior in late 2009. Looking back on the release of My World 2.0 15 years later, I'm reminded of just how clear it was, even way back in 2010, that Justin was such a mega talent that had such a bright career ahead of him. To have a vocal range and an undeniable stage presence like he had at that age is so rare and a talent that has only continued to grow in the years to follow.  Justin's origin story i...

"California" by Joni Mitchell // Song Review

-
Image
Joni Mitchell wrote "California" all over the world, each verse was written in a different country and vividly depicts both the physical and emotional place she was at in those moments. From France, to Spain, to Greece, she writes a travelogue of her time in each country, but continuously wishes she were home in California instead. "Sitting in a park in Paris, France, reading the news and it sure looks bad," Joni sings in the opening lines of the song. "They won't give peace a chance, that was just a dream some of us had". She wrote this song in a very conversational, stream-of-consciousness style. Her talent for storytelling is like no other, her writing is so vivid and detailed that allows the listener to be transported right to the setting of the song. "California" was written sometime in the summer of 1970, while she was traveling through Europe. Throughout that journey, she ended up writing much of  Blue , which was released the followi...
