Regardless of whether or not you actually have a Valentine’s Day date, it's the time of year where relationships and love seem are inescapable. And that’s okay. Love is great and should be celebrated. Nevertheless, it's also complicated more often than it isn’t, and as a result, we turn to music for some sort of guidance or release. This playlist of French–language love songs, both from France and abroad, may just be what you need. After all, French is widely–known as the language of love, so perhaps these songs have some sort of secret key for which we have all been searching. Even so, they’re the perfect soundtrack a for night of crying, celebration, or a bit of both.

The Taylor Swift of Lana Wilson's new Netflix documentary, Miss Americana is alone—a surprising qualifier for someone whose reputation is at least partially built on her friends and ex–lovers. Wilson documents Swift as the hero of own life story, leaving everyone else around the star to the periphery. Nearly every frame of footage is filled with Taylor Swift.

Unsurprisingly, I am a diehard fan of outdoor concert venues. Though typically the kind of person who would rather stay inside at all costs, outdoor concerts are one of the few exceptions I make. Unfortunately, however, more and more outdoor venues keep getting shut down each year. Case in point: Even Philadelphia lost Festival Pier in Summer 2019, and no more appear to be taking its place.

When I was 12 years old, my life mostly consisted of going to school, sports practices, and playing Minecraft late into the evening, often accompanied by Pandora–curated electronic music. Yes, I’ll out myself here—I loved Minecraft. I played it often and for hours at a time, much to the bewilderment of my own dad who thought I was cooped up playing Minesweeper for that long. Imagine the peculiar sense of relief he must have felt when he found out I wasn’t.

On Aug. 3, 2018, Mac Miller released Swimming, intended to be the first of two companion albums. On Sept. 7, 2018, Miller was found dead in his home, in what was later determined to be an accidental overdose of fentanyl, cocaine, and alcohol. On Jan. 17, 2020, Warner Records posthumously released Circles, the intended companion to Swimming, and the final studio album by Malcolm James McCormick.

It would be hard to find a musician or audience that loathes a good cover. Music, like all art forms, exists to be shared with one another so that we may find some sort of connections with those who live alongside us on this earth. This desire to participate in the shared world of music is perhaps nowhere clearer than in Bonny Light Horseman’s debut self–titled album, which was released on Friday.

On the opening title track of her new album Rare, Selena Gomez asks a distant, uncaring lover why he doesn't recognize how rare she is. However, the next 39 minutes of the album provide the listener with little to no further evidence for this claim. Rare, despite its name, fails to make Gomez stand out as a pop star among her peers.

Following his boy band introduction, Harry Styles has continuously shaped and reshaped his image in pop music—all while maintaining an attractive repute in his sound. His 2017 self–titled album demonstrated this coolness through fleshed–out images of women in black dresses, toying with what the term “good girl” entails, and ample electric guitar melodies embedded throughout.

It’s impossible to have a neutral opinion of AJJ. Sean Bonnette’s warbled lyrical delivery of topics from self–loathing and mutilation to the coming apocalypse, paired with the furious acoustic strumming of hardcore on a budget, are either beloved or loathed by all who stumble across the Phoenix–based folk punk band. The band’s newest record, Good Luck Everybody, won’t do much to sway the skeptics, but it will be rightfully adored by longtime fans.

In an age when algorithms often dictate our tastes, a genuine recommendation can be hard to come by. But, so unlike everything else is Frances Quinlan's music, connections form in the most unlikely of places. A story heard on the radio, a book she read, a podcast, an album—all are fair game for Quinlan. Listeners are inspired to seek out the hidden gems within each lyric, put forth like a good friend giving suggestions over coffee.

The Glee Club is a staple of Penn. Founded in 1862, it’s the oldest performing arts group on campus, with 150 years of history in singing a mix of classics, standards, and hits that showcase the talents of its members. Beyond its male singers, the Glee Club also includes a tech staff and a pit band, the latter of which often performs its own gigs in addition to supporting the semesterly shows. In fact, the Glee Club Band was one of the groups that performed at Street’s Battle of the Bands competition hosted at Smokey Joe’s in November—and they won.

Madeon launched his career off of a viral video. “Pop Culture"—an intricate 39–song mashup uploaded onto his Youtube channel in 2011—blew up within days. It’s since amassed over 50 million views. Multiple record labels approached him based on the strength of his mashup, and he soon signed with Columbia Records.

It's a rare feat for a rock band to stay together for over twenty years. In an era where pop music has quickly shifted to R&B, rap, and dance–pop, Coldplay has managed to consistently produce sentimental soft rock songs. Their music is predictable, almost formulaic—with Chris Martin’s warm and comforting vocals that often ascend into falsettos, existential lyrics, and guitar riffs. Whether you're a fan or not, Coldplay will long be part of the soundtracks of stores and coffee shops. Although throughout their fame they haven’t been known for being inventive, their eighth studio album Everyday Life is their most ambitious and experimental album to date.

Corey Flood is the name of a Philly–based dark rock band, but it's also the name of a side character in the 1989 John Cusack film Say Anything—she's a teenage girl who writes sad songs about her ex–boyfriend on her acoustic guitar. Although her sound couldn't be more different than that of the band Corey Flood's 2018 EP, Wish You Hadn't, there's something to be said for the sheer emotion that both of their works inspire. Corey Flood's sound—with deep, churning bass, rippling guitars, and eerie vocals floating on top—dredges something up in the listener, something felt deep in your stomach.

As a Canadian, it’s practically required to love Celine Dion. She's a five–time Grammy winner and has the most number ones on the radio of any female artist. She has been awarded both the prestigious Order of Canada and the proud Order of Quebec, two of the highest civilian honors a Canadian can get. She's also the best–selling Canadian artist ever and the 200 million copies of her music sold worldwide make her one of the best–selling artists of all time.

Gus Dapperton was at home at Union Transfer on Tuesday, Nov. 12. A former Drexel student, Dapperton’s performance in this redesigned farmers' market and factory felt like an easygoing college show. With his bowl cut, baseball hat, and baggy vintage sweatshirt, he’s as much of a peer as he is a performer. He’s Generation Z’s indie rock artist: a goofy guy with a 90’s–inspired look. Dapperton’s not there to put on a spectacle, but rather a fun and comfortable dance party.
