I’ve been following Halsey’s musical career since I was in high school and they released their first EP, “Room 93.” Their first studio album “Badlands” was one of the very first vinyl records I bought for myself, and when they released their third studio album “Manic” I even bought concert tickets to see them perform it live.

Passenger’s ode to quarantine
In early July, singer-songwriter Passenger, known for his 2013 hit “Let Her Go,” released his new studio album titled “Patchwork.” Although this is his twelfth studio album, there is one major difference that “Patchwork” boasts: it was written and recorded almost entirely during the COVID-19 lockdown. The album sets the tone from the beginning […]
