Obsession • an idea or thought that continually preoccupies or intrudes on a person’s mind: he was in the grip of an obsession he was powerless to resist.
My body shakes. I get goosebumps from my arms down through my legs. I don’t want to breathe lest my senses be directed somewhere other than my ears. Eventually, I’ll regain the ability to utter, “OMG!” My eyes will widen. My arms will reach wide, and my hands will clasp my head.
I am in the grip of a music obsession that I am powerless to resist.
Here are seven new obsessions.
Evanescence Afterlife My Girl Amy Lee is still Evanescence-ing hard and topping the charts in 2025 (#1 Active Rock 6/22/25).
Eli & Fur AIR I love Deep House music. Especially with female vocals.
Hana Illusory I repeat, I love Deep House music. Especially with female vocals.
Abor and Tynna Bittersüβ They are an Austrian sister and brother electronic pop duo by way of Hungary and Romania that had a breakout moment representing Germany at Eurovision this year. 🇦🇹🇭🇺🇷🇴🇩🇪
Just as I cannot stop after just one chip from a bag of potato chips, no matter where I start with this album, I want to listen to the next song, and then the next song, and the next, etc.
The Hardkiss Crush New release from my favorite Ukrainian rock band.
CMAT Running/Planning My UK friend SW put me on this artist, “ a preposterously fun pop star” (The Guardian), whose upcoming album is called EURO-COUNTRY. Indeed, her music is a clever combination of Euro-pop and country music. Who knew?
Jones In the Moment I love the smooth 80s-sounding R&B from this London songstress.
