My 2016 Grammy Nominations Predictions
December 4, 2015 Phillip
The 2016 Grammy nominations are being announced Monday and I decided to list out my predications of who might be nominated like I do every year. The list is not complete, these are just brain waves I had and wanted to put out there.
1989 – Taylor Swift
To Pimp a Butterfly – Kendrick Lamar
The Beauty Behind the Madness – The Weeknd
If You Reading This It's Too Late – Drake
"Blank Space" by Max Martin, Shellback, and Taylor Swift (Taylor Swift, artist)
"See You Again" by DJ Frank E, Charlie Puth, Wiz Khalifa, and Andrew Cedar (Wiz Khalifa feat. Charlie Puth, artists)
"Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran and Amy Wadge (Ed Sheeran, artist)
"Here" by Andrew "Pop" Wansel, Isaac Hayes, Warren "Oak" Felder, Alessia Caracciolo, Terence Lam, Samuel Gerongco, Robert Gerongco, and Coleridge Tillman (Alessia Cara, artist)
"Glory" by John Stephens, Lonnie Lynn, and Che Smith (John Legend feat. Common, artists)
"Girl Crush" by Lori McKenna, Hillary Lindsey, and Liz Rose (Little Big Town, artist)
"Fight Song" by Rachel Platten and Dave Bassett (Rachel Platten, artist)
"Blank Space" or "Bad Blood (feat. Kendrick Lamar)" by Taylor Swift
"Here" by Alessia Cara
"Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran
"Uptown Funk" by Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars
"See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa feat. Charlie Puth
"Can't Feel My Face" by The Weeknd
"FourFiveSeconds" by Rihanna feat. Kanye West and Paul McCartney
"Fight Song" by Rachel Platten
Elle King
Title – Meghan Trainor
How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful – Florence and the Machine
Beauty Behind the Madness – The Weeknd
Honeymoon – Lana Del Rey
"Blank Space" by Taylor Swift
"Lips Are Movin'" by Meghan Trainor
"Bad Blood" by Taylor Swift feat. Kendrick Lamar
"Like I'm Gonna Lose You" by Meghan Trainor feat. John Legend
"See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa feat. Charlie Puth (*they may put this under the Rap category)
Best Song Written For a Visual Media
From Selma, "Glory" by John Stephens, Lonnie Lynn, and Che Smith (John Legend feat. Common, artists)
From Furious 7, "See You Again" by DJ Frank E, Charlie Puth, Wiz Khalifa, and Andrew Cedar (Wiz Khalifa feat. Charlie Puth, artists)
From Spectre, "Writing's on the Wall" by Sam Smith and Jimmy Napes (Sam Smith, artist).
Anyway, those are the thoughts I had at the moment and I'll add to it until Monday when they release the official list. Some of these probably won't be nominated, but I figure they deserve a shout out because they were great in 2015. Just as a fun fact, Adele cannot be nominated this year for "Hello" or 25 because both were released well outside the nomination period. She'll definitely be nominated for the 2017 Grammys.

I feel like it's been a while since I posted a playlist, but this has become my new driving playlist, and it's on point.

Biking/Work Out Playlist
September 15, 2015 Phillip
I may have mentioned a couple times this past summer, like every summer, that I've been biking a lot. There's a great bike path right down the street from me, so it's great to blare the music and peddle my problems away. Usually I create a playlist each year, and then add or remove songs throughout the year.
I created a Spotify Playlist of some of the music I listen to while biking/working out in case you're looking for some new beats or a song to change up your playlist.
NOTE: There's no particular order because I just hit "shuffle" before I start biking.
Here's other songs that I usually listen to, but couldn't find on Spotify:
"Bad Blood (Feat. Kendrick Lamar)" and "Shake it Off" – Taylor Swift
Any Taylor Swift, especially 1989
"I Can't Say No to Myself" – Sky Ferriera

Elle King's Ex's & Oh's
June 13, 2015 Phillip
Elle King's debut album Love Stuff features the epic song "Ex's & Oh's."
So, I'm in the car on my way home, fumbling through the different radio stations, trying to find something good to listen to. For some reason, each station has been playing the same song today on repeat. I wish I was exaggerating. Then, I end up on a station that is playing "Ex's & Oh's" by Elle King and I'm obsessed. Of course, I had no idea what the song was, but I loved her voice within the first seconds. I quickly got my phone and asked Siri to listen in and tell me the name of the song (I wasn't driving, so this was totally legal). And almost immediately I downloaded the song from iTunes.
I love the rock vibe of the song and King's husky vocals. The song has just a badass attitude to it, with catchy lyrics and a great beat. After the song finished, the radio DJs (there were like three), were like "that song is cooler than all of us combined." I especially appreciated the title…"Ex's & Oh's"…sounds like XOs, get it?
As far as I can tell, Elle King is an upcoming artist and from what I've just begun to hear, she's incredible. I can't wait to listen to her album, Love Stuff. The album was released in February, so if you want to check her out on iTunes, you totally can. Listen to "Ex's & Oh's" below:
