Wasted Days by Nahima 🛁 EP Review

         

Written by Tia

In Nahima's EP Wasted Days, she takes listeners on a honey-smooth journey from one harmony to the next with her catchy vocal melodies and blended production.

Each of the three songs ("Out of Shape," "Like Me Alone," and "Try My Luck") showcases a slightly different mix of chill pop, R&B, and folk influences, which all do well to complement Nahima's light, layered vocals. While the instrumental production is lovely on all three songs, the vocal production is what really ties together the EP—which says good things for Nahima's flexibility as a vocalist, as well as her potential for growth as a new artist.

Somehow, Wasted Days feels like the perfect album for both a relaxing afternoon and a late night drive. If only there were more songs!

The Sims 4 Vampires 😈 Video Game Review

Happy Almost-Halloween to all the simmers out there! A spooky Sims 4 expansion pack is currently on sale for $15 (usually $20). If you're asking yourself, "Should I buy The Sims 4: Vampires?", this post is for you.

Unlike some of the Sims games in the past (The Sims: Makin' Magic and The Sims 3: Supernatural), where magic-related packs meant getting lots of different creatures, this one only gives you vampires. It's sort of like The Sims 2: Nightlife, minus the nightlife additions and just the vampires. So, in a lot of ways, it disappoints. But in an odd, very Vampire Diaries-esque manner, it's also interesting and fun. I'm torn.

Aly and AJ Michalka (of Disney Channel fame) are back! This is not a drill. Three days ago, the sisters/musical duo released a new song on their YouTube channel. They've been teasing for a little while now that they would be coming back as Aly & AJ, but this is the first glimpse we've seen so far of proof.

The song, "Take Me," is good pop fun—a real "scream along down the highway" type song that promises their upcoming music will be just as good as their Into the Rush, Chemicals React, and Insomniatic albums. Listen to "Take Me" (UPDATE: and watch the new music video) below!
