Let’s Talk About: Jingle Ball

I attended Jingle Ball in NYC this past weekend, and there are simply no words. Pop music is not my favorite,  but the show was a once in a lifetime experience. The lineup included Sam Smith, Charli XCX, Iggy Azalea, Taylor Swift, 5 Seconds of Summer, Jessie J, Ariana Grande, Rita Ora, Maroon 5 and many, many more. I will never forget it.

Let’s Talk About: Ryn Weaver

On June 24th, up-and-coming artist Ryn Weaver released her first ever single, “OctaHate.” The single was set to make waves in the music scene thanks to producers such as Michael Angelakos from Passion Pit and Charli XCX. Yet no one anticipated how well received the track would be. With over 1,000,000 plays within the first month, Ryn Weaver became an overnight star. Today, the 21 year old singer based in New York and LA released her new single “Promises” which completely blows OctaHate out of the water. Ryn is on a fast track to the top of the charts, a life of notoriety, and many successful albums. Check her out!
