You may recognize Loïc Nottet as the young singer who went viral for belting out a version of Sia’s Chandelier that absolutely pierced the soul. From there, he has gone on to become an international star. After bringing Belgium back to the top 5 of Eurovision for the first time in 12 years, competing on The Voice Belgique and winning the French version of Dancing with the Stars (Danse avec les Stars), Loïc went on to top the charts with his debut album Selfocracy.

Now, at a time when the world needs it most, Loïc is back with his sophomore album Sillygomania. I believe his success worldwide is long overdue. I remember feeling so many emotions when I first heard the humble, yet powerful, singer/songwriter on YouTube years ago. It’s time for America to take a listen.

As a huge Ryan Murphy fan who’s seen every episode of every show he’s ever done, I was excited for Hollywood on Netflix by default. Featuring a star-studded cast that includes Patti Lupone and Darren Criss, the series follows a captivating story of the golden age of Hollywood and what could have been. I’ve always been fascinated by the old-school ’40s Hollywood era, and I was confident that Murphy wouldn’t disappoint.

On Friday, May 1st, Canadian rock band Courage My Love released their sixth EP, SPECTRA. It’s their first release since 2017’s Synesthesia and subsequent walk away from Warner Canada; all of the songs on SPECTRA were produced and released without a label. The band has been releasing songs off the EP since June of 2019 with the single drop of “Teenagers” (which we reviewed at the time), but the release of Courage My Love’s SPECTRA includes three tracks that at least I have never heard before!
I’ve been listening to Courage My Love since 2015, and although their sound has changed and grown a lot since then, they are absolutely still a band I love listening to. I’m thrilled that they’re continuing to make music and excited for them to be doing it on their own terms. Check out the track-by-track review of SPECTRA after the jump!

This past Thursday, Canadian rock trio Courage My Love released their latest track, “Teenagers.” It’s their first single since last October’s “Remission,” which was a fun, poppy follow-up to 2017’s album, Synesthesia.
Their Breakfast Club-themed video dropped the following day, which singer Mercedes Arn-Horn co-directed. Check it out here:
The song itself is a banger, a ridiculously catchy pop-punk earworm you’ll be singing for the next three weeks straight. I myself have had it on repeat on my way to and from work every day since release, no regrets. It sends me screaming right back to high school…
