music
albums that can be your life soundtrack
so much of this album is about healing, moving on, and acceptance of the past. truly a beautiful project that is a testament to Ari’s artistry
Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead - Ariana Grande
This album grounds me in ways that no other album quite can. Slow Burn, Oh What A World, Happy & Sad, and Mother are standouts for me on this PERFECT record.
Golden Hour - Kacey Musgraves
Another Kacey project on this list - and deservingly so. Sway, Dinner with Friends, Anime Eyes, and the title track are my favorites from this project about healing, eliminating toxic things from your life, and learning more about yourself.
Kacey Musgraves - Deeper Well
This album invokes feelings and emotions that are hard to explain, yet feel so profound and nostalgic
Teen Dream - BEACH HOUSE
this album takes the messiness of relationships & the fun of being a young woman and turns it into something catchy & perfect for the confusion of your 20s
Man's Best Friend - Sabrina Carpenter
