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 eight new obsessions. A playlist of all of the songs is below.
Ella Eyre Space My UK queen, Ella, doesn’t just want her ex gone. She wants his “intergalactic trouble, a light year away.” Never has a breakup song made you wanna sing and dance so hard.
Addison Rae Aquamarine Evoking Madonna’s Ray of Light.
Adam Lambert Heaven Is On Their Minds This is a bold, expressive, and vocally spectacular – after all, this is Adam Lambert – fresh take on the famous song from Jesus Christ Superstar.
After Deep Diving They call their music “trip pop” and that’s a perfect description of After’s light, catchy, and ethereal sound.
Goldfrapp Hey Hi Hello Soothing electropop.
ZZ Ward Naked In the Jungle Fierce blues-rock unleashed.
Renee Rapp Bite Me This album explodes everywhere with F-it, F-you, F-me, F-everything energy. Renee is a gifted vocalist who can elastically span genres, and the track Leave Me Alone immediately brings Joan Jett to mind.
Chappell Roan The Subway Her first single since winning the Best New Artist Grammy is a lovely ode to New York City.
