What You're Missing on Your Playlist!

-
If you’re in the loop of only listening to radio music or the top 50 hits on Spotify or Apple Music you’re definitely missing out. Some of my favorite, and in my opinion, some of the best artists I’ve listened to vocally and lyrically are those who are not super well known. That being said here are two in-depth descriptions of artists in my opinion that you should definitely check out are super talented, as well as a shortlist of recommended songs from some of my other favorite small artists. Spencer Sutherland Spencer is one of the most down-to-earth, talented people I’ve ever seen live. He grew up in Columbus and played local bars until he made it onto the UK X-Factor in 2017. Spencer didn’t make it until the end, but he recently just got signed to LA-based record label, BMG records. His songwriting abilities and voice are truly unique and are a combination I haven’t been able to find anywhere else. Spencer’s songs are very personal, but still extremely relatable. Spencer’s stage presence is truly like no other, he is high energy and knows how to keep the crowd going. He is truly a humble and funny guy, and never takes anything for granted, I’m lucky to call him a friend and to have had the opportunity to see him more times than I can count. Songs to check out: NONE of This Has Been About You Freaking Out Tell Me


Lennon Stella Lennon Stella is one of my all-time favorite female artists. Her voice is truly so beautiful and her lyrics are nothing less of perfect and full of meaning. Lennon starred on the TV show Nashville from 2012 to 2018 with her younger sister Maisy Stella. In late 2018, she released her debut EP with five original songs, and has since released two original singles. I had the opportunity to meet her and see her perform an acoustic set and open for 5SOS at the U.S. Bank Arena about a month ago and she certainly did not disappoint. Lennon has pure talent and I would definitely recommend checking her out! Songs to Check Out: Like Everybody Else Fortress Bad


Ruel: Dazed & Confused Painkiller Not Thinkin’ Bout You



Charlotte Lawrence: Why Do You Love Me Navy Blue Everybody Loves You

Alec Bailey: Roseanne Lemonade Flowerbomb


I hope this gives you some new music to check out and add to your playlists! Let me know if you check out any of my suggestions in the comments below!

Beauty on a Budget

I personally love makeup, the artistry of it, and just how much fun it can be. Whenever I am stressed or bored I will just do a makeup look for fun, and sometimes they turn out so well. Makeup for me is super relaxing, and I absolutely love doing it, but it can be expensive.  I learned how to do makeup from practice and of course from the beauty gurus on YouTube. Although YouTube can be a great place to learn techniques and get great new ideas, the products used are often extremely expensive and are not practical for the everyday college student to get. I am going to list some great, widely used drugstore makeup products below that may help you out if you are also interested in makeup but have no idea what to get and can not afford the high-end brands. The first product that I currently swear by is the Maybelline Superstay foundation. I have relatively dry skin, so it is hard for me to find a good foundation that doesn't make my face look or feel super cakey. I don't t

The Riding Out East, Then West, Then East Again Tour

This last Friday, I went to Cincinnati with my best friend to go see and meet YouTubers/comedians, Cody Ko and Noel Miller on their Riding Out East, Then West, Then East Again Tour. This was the second time I got to see Cody and Noel live, I saw them the first time earlier this year. They make commentary videos where they watch or react to strange videos and accounts and create parody songs, resulting in hilarious content. Their live show is nothing less than exceptional, I’d say funnier than their typical YouTube content. The whole show filled with tons of jokes, crowd participation, a few live songs, a live “That’s Cringe” segment, and a Q&A.  Before the show started, I was able to meet and talk to them a little bit which was a super fun experience. They were super sweet, but also made jokes the entire time. My dad said I wouldn’t ask them to roast me because I’m too sensitive, so obviously I had to ask them to do it to prove him wrong. Sure enough, they didn’t hesit
