Monday Mixtape, Vol. 196

I’ve never given Halsey a chance, mainly due to the fact that she got famous because of a feature on a Chainsmokers song, a band that hits about every note for my stereotype of shitty bands.

But did anyone else see her performances on Saturday Night Live this weekend?? I thought they were both phenomenal. Her vocals, something that time and time again, ESPECIALLY with pop artists, sounds terrible on SNL was spot on.

And of course she gets bonus points for bringing our Lindsey Buckingham for her second song, “Darling.”

Buckingham’s acoustic Taylor guitar (I have one myself) has such a gorgeous tone. It’s bright, clear, and sings in reverb. THAT sound is a Taylor guitar.

Talk about two different songs! The album versions start and end this week’s mixtape.

Enjoy the other jams and have a good week!
