KIra Kosarin - Something to Look Forward To review



Something to Look Forward To is a song by singer Kira Kosarin that was released on May 14, 2020 through AWAL. It is the second single for Kosarin's upcoming EP Songbird.


Something to Look Forward To is an emotional pop song that finds the singer being in dark place in her life and she really needs something to look forward to so that she doesn't have to feel sad anymore.


Kosarin sings on the first verse:

I don’t wanna be sad again todayI don’t wanna rain on your paradeI’m tired of tears feels likeI’ve been crying for years



Then Kira continues on the chorus with the lyrics:

Something to Look Forward ToSomething to Look Forward ToOoh, oohI really needSomething to Look Forward ToSomething to Look Forward ToOoh, ooh



I love how Kira is showing us her vulnerable side in "Something to Look Forward To" through the lyrics and production of this song with her mesmerizing vocals.


This is definitely one of my favorite tracks from the Songbird era along "First Love Never Lasts". Thank you so much Kira for blessing us with this beautiful masterpiece.

Kira Kosarin - First Love Never Lasts review



First Love Never Lasts is a song by singer Kira Kosarin that was released on April 20, 2020 through AWAL. It serves as the lead single for Kosarin's upcoming extended play Songbird.

Lyrically, First Love Never Lasts is a guitar driven track that talks Kira about trying to replace a memory of a previous relationship with her ex lover by dating another person. But then, she later realizes that it's doesn't work.


Kosarin starts off on the first verse with:

Yeah, I got a new boy who looks like youDark brown hair with a cool tattoo he's gotGreen eyes that fade to blueI tell him that I love him but I know it ain't true


The singer is tired of pretending her feelings with her new partner singing on the pre-chorus:

Why do we act like this works?Are we just making it worse?

On the chorus, Kira learns to be grateful for the moments that she had with her former boyfriend and accept the fact that it will always exist with the lyrics:

I wanted to be your first and lastBut baby that first love never lastsAre we so wrapped up in the memory?Are we both okay? We pretend to be...It was only perfect in the pastCuz a first love never lasts


Kira Kosarin never fails to disappoint me with her new music. I love the beautiful meaning, the lyrics and production for "First Love Never Lasts". 


It's such an original yet authentic song by her and I could listen to it on repeat if I wanted. She is definitely the underrated artist that you do not want to sleep on, ladies and gentlemen.

Marshmello & Halsey - Be Kind review



Be Kind is a song by producer Marshello and singer Halsey. It was released as a single on May 1, 2020 through Joytime Collective, Astralwerks, and Capitol Records.

Be Kind is an emotional EDM song that finds Mello and Halsey exploring through trust issues with a significant other in a relationship and that there's nothing wrong with being expressing yourself towards the one that you love.

Hal opens up the first verse with:

 Wanna believe, wanna believeThat you don't have a bad bone in your body
But the bruises on your ego make you go wild, wild, wild, yeah


The singer can be heard reassuring the man that she will be there to support him on the pre-chorus with the lyrics:

I know you're chokin' on your fearsAlready told you I'm right hereI will stay by your side every night


On the chorus, Halsey is reinforcing the listeners that it's okay to be vulnerable with someone that you adore singing:

When you know you can cry to the oneAlways confide in the oneYou can be kind to the one that you love


I think that Be Kind is one of my favorite songs so far in 2020 by Halsey and Marshmello. I started to get this 80s summer inspired vibe to the track when I had first listened to it. 

If you are trying to find some songs to listen to during quarantine, then you should definitely add "Be Kind" to your playlist right now.

There's nowhere we need to be, no, no, noI'ma get to know you betterKinda hope we're here forever


Before him and Ari come together with their verse on the chorus singing:

 So, go ahead and drive me insaneBaby, run your mouth, I still wouldn't change
Being stuck with you, stuck with you, stuck with youI'm stuck with you, stuck with you, stuck with you



I absolutely love this song by Justin and Ariana. I have always wanted a collaboration between these two talented artists.  The lyric and the smooth production on this track is flawless.


 And you can also dance to this song with your partner especially while we're all going through a difficult time right now. Music is meant to heal us. And that's what it's going to continue to do until this is all over with.
