When the news broke that Zayn Malik left One Direction, I was in the middle of dance class. During a water break, everybody was chatting with one another and checking for missed text notifications when suddenly two girls audibly gasped in sync with one another. They ran to the bathroom and did not return for

On Saturday, Harry Styles attended the Brit Awards — now several years after going solo — to accept Artist of the Year. Around this same time 10 years ago, all five members of One Direction took the stage to accept the Global Success Award following a wild year of touring and new music. Styles had

There are moments in life that feel unsubstantial. But then, there’s the 10-second countdown to Harry Styles’ “As It Was,” music video. Personally, I know at least 10 people who were eagerly awaiting its arrival. Styles’ new album “Harry’s House,” was not just an elevation of his personal musical journey, but a landmark in the

On March 23, Harry Styles announced the release date and album cover art for his upcoming 13 track album “Harry’s House” on May 20, 2022. Right away, I just knew the vibes from this album would be amazing. When I first looked at the album cover, I could tell it would be very different from

Hundreds of teenage girls wore bright pants, glitter tops and feather boas. Two girls dressed up as two ghosts and another wore a banana costume. This was the scene at Harry Styles’ Love On Tour. Originally scheduled for the summer of 2020, the North American leg of his tour had to be pushed back twice

One day about two months ago, my life changed dramatically. No, it wasn’t retiring as Editor-in-Chief. The top half of my laptop popped open, and a few tiny screws clattered to the ground. I didn’t think much of it. If anything, I accepted the fact that art (an almost broken computer) imitates life (an almost

Some side character from some movie I watched at some point in high school once said something along the lines of: “When there are two bands, there’s a scene, and when there’s a scene, there’s something to write about.” The first official issue of Rolling Stone featured stories about the Grateful Dead, Donovan and the

The first thing I realized when I watched my first Bob Dylan interview was that he talked like my uncle who grew up in the ’60s and ’70s. Their Midwestern accents were paired with a syncopated rhythm and constant mystery that had me hanging on every word. I’ve noticed similarities between people I know and

Every now and then — and by that I mean almost daily — I remember that One Direction doesn’t exist anymore, and I get very, very sad. In times like these, I find myself binge watching their music videos. The best thing about this band is the way their music videos are easily the dumbest

Banks — “Crowded Places” By Nora McGreevy “Hey,” Jillian Banks whispers on the opening seconds of her newest single, “Crowded Places.” Banks, who goes by her surname onstage, starts out quiet and low, delicately layering warbly vocals over one another. She then breaks into the chorus and lifts her voice — but only somewhat: “‘Cause
