Elle's Recent Thoughts

Calculated feels like reading somebody’s diary on a stained basement floor while the amp hums in the background. Corin Tucker sounds completely unfiltered here: messy, furious, vulnerable, alive. Tiny record, massive emotional wrecking ball 💥 #RiotGrrrl #90sPunk #NowListening ( Heavens to Betsy – Calculated )

Three years of AlbumBlitz! And honestly? It still feels like opening a door that never stops leading somewhere new. All started as a little “let’s see what happens” idea and turned into this endless stream of discovery, chaos, hidden gems, and “how have I never heard this before??” moments. Hundreds of thousands of albums later and I’m still chasing that same spark. 🌀 Here’s to the weird finds, the late-night rabbit holes, and the next three years of not running out of music anytime soon. #AlbumBlitz #MusicDiscovery #3YearsDeep

This city pop playlist is dangerously smooth. Like it just glides from one vibe to the next without you even noticing. It pulls from all kinds of influences but somehow keeps everything feeling cohesive, and the transitions?? ridiculously clean. One of those playlists that lifts your mood without trying too hard ☀️✨ #CityPop #PlaylistFind #GoodVibes ( City Pop Playlist (Spotify) )

Just discovered this incredible Latina artist who blends bright, dance-ready Latin beats with a voice that’s absolutely stunning. The energy is joyful without being lightweight, and polished but still full of warmth. One of those tracks that makes you want to move and hit replay immediately. 💃🔥 #NewDiscovery #LatinPop ( Precious Perez - Sin Preguntar )

This album feels like someone spiked indie pop with sunshine and mild mischief. Every hook skips around like it’s late to a cute party. #NowPlaying ☀️🎶 ( Lunchbox – Pop and Circumstance )

Drive by Bic Runga just hits different, all hazy sadness and perfect melodies that sneak up on you. Feels like driving at night when you’re a little too in your head but it’s a little bit peaceful anyway. ( Bic Runga – Drive )

Jenevieve really snapped on Crysalis, it’s like watching someone shed their old skin in real time. Dreamy R&B grooves, a little disco shimmer, a little heartbreak smoke in the air 💿✨ #NowPlaying #RNB ( Jenevieve – CRYSALIS )

This one hits like a therapy session you didn’t consent to but kinda needed anyway. Brutal, self-aware, and way too relatable, People Watching turns emotional wreckage into pure catharsis. 💀🔥 #Metalcore #EmoEnergy ( 156/Silence – People Watching )

Sydney Quiseng’s Phases EP feels like the part in a movie where everything finally clicks: soft, glowy pop that hits right in the chest. It’s dreamy, honest, and kinda addictive. ☀️💭 #PhasesEP #NowPlaying ( Sydney Quiseng – PHASES )

Just discovered this one today and had to share. It's like a soft little sigh of an album—dreamy, glowy, and just the right amount of sad. Feels like walking home alone at night but in a good way. #RadioRedVibes 🕯️💔✨ ( Laura Groves – Radio Red )

Mondays don’t stand a chance against Likwidation! Tha Alkaholiks brought the party to ’97 with booming beats, slick flows, and that signature West Coast bounce. If you need a jolt of energy today to shake off the Monday blues, this is it. #ThaLiks #HipHopVibes #Throwback ( Tha Alkaholiks – Likwidation )

The Dethalbum is equal parts heavy and ridiculous—massive riffs, over-the-top lyrics, and just enough chaos to make it so much fun. It may have started out as a joke, but it goes way harder than it has any right to. ⚡🔥🎸 ( Metalocalypse: Dethklok – The Dethalbum )

Songs for the Deaf is a desert highway fever dream—dirty, hypnotic, and absolutely relentless. Every riff feels like it was carved out of pure adrenaline. A #TBT to when rock still had some bite. #QueensOfTheStoneAge #DesertRock ( Queens of the Stone Age – Songs for the Deaf )

All Saints’ debut album is peak ‘90s cool—slick harmonies, R&B grooves, and just the right amount of attitude. Plus, "Never Ever" still hits like a heartbreak anthem for the ages. #90sVibes #AllSaints ( All Saints – All Saints )

Erothyme’s Along the Arc is one of those albums that just pulls you in without trying too hard. Smooth, glitchy, and warm in all the right ways—like a digital river that knows exactly where it’s going. Easy to sink into, hard to pull away from. #NowSpinning ( Erothyme – Along the Arc )

Man, Brittany Howard went off on this one. Jaime takes everything great about her voice and pushes it into new, unexpected places—funky, soulful, experimental, and straight-up electrifying. It’s got grit, it’s got heart, and it proves she can do anything. An absolute powerhouse of an album. 🔥 #BrittanyHoward #OnRepeat #SoulfulGrooves ( Brittany Howard – Jaime )

This album dropped just in time for Valentine's Day, and it is pure late-night bliss—smooth, hypnotic, and packed with that signature OVO magic. Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR’s chemistry is effortless, making every track feel like it was made for dim lights and deep thoughts. Instant replay material! ✨🎶 ( PARTYNEXTDOOR & Drake – $ome $exy $ongs 4 U )

Just stumbled onto American Spiritual and—wow—this one hits hard. It’s got that raw, bluesy swagger that feels straight out of the ’70s, but without trying too hard to be vintage. Each track drips with grit and soul, and I swear you can feel the energy radiating off it. Instant obsession! 🔥🎸 ( Dirty Sweet – American Spiritual )

I discovered this album just yesterday, and this girl deserves SO much recognition. The music is almost mystical in a way. And that gorgeous album art? I'm obsessed! 💖🌹 ( Nessi Gomes – Diamonds & Demons )

Heard this song during my workout today and felt like I needed to share 🔥 This is for anyone who has ever gone through the heartbreak wringer. We'll make it out the other side together 💖✨ ( Sam Feldt, Jonas Blue, Endless Summer & Violet Days - Crying on the Dancefloor )
