Hello, everyone!

This weeks episode thehonestguy's song 'Love Bomb' takes me on a journey to understanding human impulsiveness through language and music. We discuss love bombing and from the recipient's and doers' perspective crediting music as a waymaker for helping us humans understand each other more. 

Enjoy!

Hello Everyone!

This week's episode is the second installment of Artist in the Alternative and in this episode, we have the talented James Bambu! We take his amazing song Sunny Daze and break down further analyzing what it means to have a true attitude change, sun symbolism in different cultures, and his intentions while making the song. This is my first time making an interview style in this format and I am very excited to share! :)) Enjoy!

In this week's episode, we'll be discussing how media content influences how women are viewed and interacted with when it comes to finding love <3. We take examples of cultural norms and practices (that expand into the music industry) and explain their movement to how language is shared within a community. Using this as evidence we discuss how linguistic relativity with media plays a part in reinforcing these cultural practices. All through Ego Ella May's song "Girls don't always sing about boys". 

Enjoy!
