Hi everyone! I hope you guys are faring well & staying safe with the quarantine. 😷 A few weeks before (& luckily before most of the dates were postponed), I was able to see Post Malone on one of the dates for the second leg of his Runaway Tour. Check out some of my best images below. ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️
Lately I’ve been listening to:
July // Noah Cyrus
As you guys know, I’m huge fan of Miley Cyrus. I guess its no surprise that I’ve come to like her younger sisters tunes as well. Noah’s music is typically in the pop-trap realm but on the final day of July, she released the moody folk-inspired single, July. July deals with struggling to end a toxic relationship. I will link Noah breaking down the lyrics here, it’s super cute & a mini therapy session. This has also been one of my favorite songs of 2019.
Cinnamon Girl // Lana Del Rey
One of my most anticipated albums this year was Lana Del Rey’s Norman Fucking Rockwell! Lana originally announced the album in August 2018 but initial release took place in August of 2019. Although nearly a year gap, she surely did not disappoint. NFR was a bit of a departure from most of Lana’s work. It truly is in a lane of its own, but I find the most similar record would be Ultraviolence.
None of Your Concern // Jhené Aiko
What is with all the good breakup songs the past few months? Jhené Aiko dropped the surprise release of None of Your Concern in mid-November & it left the internet shook (mostly due to Big Sean’s x-rated confessions, which imo dilute the track). None of Your Concern is another introspective track figuring out what went wrong & where in a past relationship. It’s one of those songs that everyone can relate to.
Pony // Wavves
Again with my resurgence into indie / lo-fi, Wavves is another one of my college faves. V has always been my favorite record of theirs.

Hey guys, I hope all of my American friends & followers had a wonderful Thanksgiving 🖤 On Wednesday I dropped my first YouTube video in a hot minute. it’s a thrift haul with some cute goodies I’m keeping for myself & some other things I’m reselling on depop & poshmark. I am running 20% off on my entire depop shop through tomorrow @ midnight (https://www.depop.com/hannahabananaa29/). Happy shopping!!

Lately, I’ve been listening to:
Only Human // Jonas Brothers
Most of the albums I was looking forward to this summer either came out right at the start or end. Towards the middle, there weren’t any releases, so I was still playing the songs off my previous post. I ended my summer Labor Day weekend seeing the Jonas Brothers at Hershey Park Stadium with over 40,000 people & it was an absolute spectacle.
Atrocity Exhibition // Joy Division
If we’re being honest, I never got into the early days of punk. My personal pick was the sub-genre, pop-punk (ya know – All Time Low, The Wonder Years, A Day to Remember). Around August I had more 2012 soft grunge nostalgia. I was in the mood for something in the realm of the 1975 / Arctic Monkeys but not that exactly.. then I remembered Joy Division. I was into them for a hot minute in high school but when I revisited Closer, I couldn’t understand how I wasn’t more into them back in the day.
Stop & Go // The Regrettes
Probably the release I was most looking forward to this summer (apart from the Jonas Brothers Happiness Begins) was The Regrettes How Do You Love? Their sound took a more vintage vibe & matured from their 2017 debut, but it still packed a punch of girl power.
Circles // Post Malone
Honestly, one of my favorite albums of this year has been Post Malone’s Hollywood’s Bleeding. I remember hearing his Nirvana covers in 2017 & always hoped he would take more of a rock turn & I am so glad he did. He manages to appeal to mass amounts of people with minimal effort. At this point in his career, Posty has made something for most everyone’s tastes.
A Serpent’s Touch // Knocked Loose
Another favorite release of mine has been Knocked Loose’s A Different Shade of Blue. Hardcore is a genre I’m selective with but I’ve enjoyed most of Knocked Loose’s previous work.

For the past month, I’ve been listening to:
Unholy // Miley Cyrus
She is here. Can’t believe one, but two of my fave childhood artists dropped new music for the start of the summer. I’ve been loving the first of 3 EP’s to make up Miley’s new record She is Miley Cyrus. It has condensed most of her sound from recent years into one album & it all blends so well. Anxiously awaiting the release of the other 2 EP’s.
Every Single Time // Jonas Brothers
As much as I love the Jonas Brothers…. I won’t lie I barely listen to their old music. They’ve taken the best elements from DNCE, Nick’s solo records, added a twist, & have released their best album to date.
I Dare You // The Regrettes
The Regrettes are a band I stumbled on earlier this year & have simply fallen in love with. Ironically, their next album How Do You Love? will explore more on the topic of love. As much as I love the angsty feminist energy from their first record, I’m excited to see the band trudge into a softer territory, while still remaining punk af of course.
You Never Knew // Haim
In 2017, it seemed that nearly every artist I listen to released an album. Something to Tell You (sadly) was one of the forgotten ones. My timing may not be so bad though, the 3 sisters just deactivated their Instagram’s in order to tease the crap out of their next project on the band’s main page. Also including the Urban exclusive cover on this because why not.

Lately, I’ve been listening to:
A Living Human Girl // The Regrettes
A jam to remind all of us girls that we are just human & don’t need to live up to society’s expectations (well… technically that’s Lydia Night’s whole manifesto)
Church // Aly & AJ
I know the Jonas Brothers are currently getting all the glory for their comeback. Honestly? Aly & AJ may have the best glow up. The sister duo originally launched their Ten Years EP in August 2017 & later a deluxe edition in November 2018. Their newest EP Sanctuary released last month & the breezy synth-pop is a huge departure from their earlier sound, but I cannot recommend their new work enough.
Sun Tan // Wallows
Finally, one of Wallows OG singles off of my summer playlist (which is now live)

Lately, I’ve been listening to:
Love Drought // Beyonce
Lemonade was not only one of my favorite releases of 2016, but it’s grown to one of my albums of all time. So so happy it’s finally on Spotify.
It’s Only Right // Wallows
After indulging in Wallows debut album Nothing Happens upon its release, I decided to give the OG singles & Spring EP a chance. Needless to say, I have more reasons to love the band than before.
Japan // Rex Orange County
A feature off of my spring 2019 playlist (linked below)
Crazy for You // Best Coast
My resurgence into indie / lo-fi has brought me full circle to my roots, Best Coast. Crazy for You & California Nights was the soundtrack to a majority of my time in college.
