Confession time. We did in fact hear The Hart in its entirety at Grayscale’s early album release show back in December in Philadelphia. Phew okay, now that that’s out of the way, let’s talk about The Hart. Now, we tend to say everything Grayscale does is the best thing they’ve ever done (and we’re right.) But The Hart truly feels like an example of Grayscale at their best. The raw vulnerability that went into this album is palpable in everything from the production to the lyricism.

We love Taylor Acorn in this household and we’re not afraid to show it. From seeing her live to singing along to her music at the top of our lungs during our commutes, her music has become a part of our daily soundtrack. Her latest album Survival in Motion has been on repeat since it dropped (and for good reason) and a lot of those songs showed up in our end of the year on repeat playlists.

We interrupt your streaming of Grayscale’s ‘Kept Me Alive’ on repeat to bring you news that our favorite Philly band has released a new song. This is their sixth single release from their upcoming album, The Hart, and again, no. It is not ‘Through The Landslide.’ But Grayscale’s new song, ‘Don’t Leave Me In The Dark’ is just so good that we can let it (land)slide.

If you’ve spent any amount of time on TikTok, have been following Sabrina Carpenter’s Short ‘n Sweet Tour, or are just a big Griff fan in general, you’re probably familiar with the hype surrounding ‘Last Night’s Mascara.’ What started as a demo track that didn’t make the Vertigo tracklist and sat on Griff’s computer for a year eventually became a major fan favorite after she performed it live during her run as an opener and on her own Vertigo headlining tour.

We’ve been loving State Champs’ recently released singles (‘Light Blue?’ lives on our On Repeat playlist on Spotify rn). Their When We Were Young Fest 2024 set where they played The Finer Things in full? Blew our minds, the definition of a cathartic experience. (Therapy? Expensive. Hearing ‘Over The Line’ live? Better than therapy). All of this to say, State Champs dropped their self-titled album today after ages of us being super hyped and it did not disappoint.
