New Music Friday: Kris Allen – “Guinevere”

Happy New Music Friday, everyone! There are so many great new releases this week, but one I am particularly excited about is Kris Allen’s new single, “Guinevere.”

Listen, we love an existential crisis bop over here. And for a song that ponders, “What if I never sing like McCartney?” there is a certain Beatles-esque quality about it, especially when the bridge hits.

It’s quite the immediate earworm–be prepared to add “Guinevere” to your playlists!

Wait…WHAT?’s Favorite Songs of 2021

Happy New Year, y’all! I don’t how everyone’s music listening habits fared during 2021, but I found myself leaning into a lot of comfort music from my youth. Though lots of TLC, Boyz II Men, and Britney Spears dominated my playlists, I made plenty of room for 2021 releases.

Here we are once again at the end of the year, which means it’s time to share my favorite songs from 2016. I trend towards upbeat, good vibes with some sass and angst mixed in for good measure, and I feel that my favorite songs this year definitely reflect that.
