There has been a wave of new music coming out in the first 2 months of the year, with March continuing this so far. Movie soundtracks are even absolutely fantastic, with Black Panther being a prime example. In my opinion, here are the top five new songs that have come out so far in the current year.

1. The Mountain- Three Days Grace

This band has been around since I was a child, and they consumed my childhood. Their new album comes out this Friday and this song was the first single they released from the album. Fans of rock music should definitely give this song a chance, as it has a sound and is one to jam out to in the car. 

2. Church- Fall Out Boy

Fall Out Boy has given themselves a new sound since there return as a band several years back. This new album has more of an electronic sound, which has people intrigued to see what else they have in store for their tour this year.

3. Pray for Me- Kendrick Lamar, The Weeknd

​The Black Panther soundtrack that was produced by Kendrick Lamar, is absolutely fantastic. Every song has a great sound that blends perfectly with the movie with it’s sound and theme. Even if the more pop and hip-hop genres are not your first choice, this song is one to listen to at least once.

4. Red Cold River- Breaking Benjamin

Another rock band that has been making music for as long as I can remember, with my father having them playing all the time in the car. Their new single has a sound that is similar to their older songs, such as Diary of Jane. Their heavy sound may be a lot for some, but others may enjoy it.

5. My My My- Troye Sivan

Former Youtuber Troye Sivan has been excelling in his music career over the past few years, with his Blue Neighborhood album getting the attention of radio stations across the globe. His new single has a new sound for him that has proven to be successful, gaining traction yet again.

This year will be an interesting one in terms of music, with more albums from multiple genres are set to be released in the coming weeks and months. No matter the genre, there is music for every time of day, every mood, and every situation. These new songs are only a few of the ones that peaked my interest, and I am excited to see what other artists plan to release.

Utica '20

Meet Bianca, I am currently a Junior at Utica College in Utica, NY.  I am a Criminal Justice major with a concentration in Homeland Security.  Crime investigation has always been something that interests me.  I’m dedicated and passionate and it’s hard for me to quit things. I get that from my father so don’t hold it against me- he was a veteran and police officer for 20 years.   Growing up in a family centered around law enforcement has helped guide me in this direction, and I will forever be grateful.  After graduation I intend to continue on to law school where I can further my education in hopes of becoming a criminal defense lawyer and later on a District Attorney.  An interesting fact about myself is that I found the passion to be a criminal defense lawyer from watching the O.J. Simpson case.  The facts and conspiracy theories evoked a whole new passion behind criminal investigation that I intend to use in my future.  One of my most prominent moments in my writing career was when I wrote for an online magazine and had my most prevalent article hit 1.6k shares.  I believe in treating people with the same kind of respect and manners you would expect in return, and in a way it has helped shaped my expectations in life.   When you first meet me I won’t be the loudest in the room or the center of attention, but I will be intently listening to everything you say, for what you have to say may have a purpose. I believe in purpose. I believe that everyone is here to help you grow into who you are today and who you will be tomorrow.
