Gracie Abrams 'The Secret of Us' review.
As an Avid Swiftie and a lover of heartbreaking writing, I was super excited to see Gracie's Abrams release another album. Gracie Abrams, if you don’t know who she is, is an emerging singer-songwriter in the music scene with a Grammy nomination and she got the honor of opening on Taylor Swift's Eras tour, she also just released her second studio album, 'The Secret of Us'. All that being said Abrams seems to be lined up to be our next ‘it girl’, but does her ability really line up to all this fame?

Charli xcx’s Latest Album “BRAT” Is Amazing
Pop sensation Charli xcx has done it again, folks. She’s hit us with another impeccable album. Charli xcx Even if you aren’t familiar with Charli xcx, you’ve probably heard at least one of her songs before. Her feature on I Love It by Icona Pop in 2012 was everywhere for a while and became somewhat of an anthem. Her 2014 feature on Iggy Azalea’s hit song Fancy was impossible to escape for that entire year, and unfortunately became an even bigger anthem. She also had her own hit song Boom Clap for The Fault In Our Stars movie, which was pretty big. All three of these songs were pop tracks, a sound Charli soon chose to leave behind entirely.

The Crucial Three
Introduction The Crucial Three were a short-lived band that existed for approximately six weeks in early 1977. They are nevertheless notable on account of the individual success of all three founding members: Julian Cope formed The Teardrop Explodes and has enjoyed a long and successful solo career as an author, photographer and singer, Ian McCulloch formed the very successful Echo & the Bunnymen, while guitarist Pete Wylie formed Wah! Heat (and various subsequent incarnations of Wah!) and enjoyed major chart success with "The Story of the Blues". In those early days, McCulloch sang, Cope played bass, and Wylie played guitar. A drummer, Stephen Spence, also joined at some point in their brief life.
