My name is Cami, a pop/indie music enthusiast and lover of good vibes. I spend a lot of my time listening to music, some of my favorite artists being The Chainsmokers, Bones, Die Antwoord, Glades, ON AN ON, and Jon Bellion. This is my first time contributing to this column.

On April 6, the Chainsmokers dropped their new album titled Memories… Do Not Open. Including “Bloodstream,” “Don’t Say,” “The One,” “Wake Up Alone,”  “Honest,” and “Last Day Alive,” and featuring artists Florida Georgia Line, Louane, Emily Warren, and Jhene Auko, Memories is the perfect album for the start of summer.

A diverse array of beats and catchy lyrics provide good vibes for any listener. My personal favorites are “The One,” a song I find relatable, catchy, and pleasant to listen to and “Don’t Say” ft. Emily Warren, a song with a great beat and vocals, but trust me when I say it was hard to choose favorites from such an awesome array of songs.

However, like most albums, there are a few ‘filler’ songs that seem generic and boring, such as “Honest,” a repetitive and bland song about, well, honesty. “Wake Up Alone” is a typical song about money and fame and is rather shallow with its forced involvement of romance and a sad, desperate beat drop.

Some unique songs of the album are “My Type” ft. Emily Warren and “Last Day Alive” ft Florida Georgia Line. “My Type” introduces piano at the intro and passionate vocals with a strange but likeable clap beat. “Last Day Alive” stands out for its free- feeling spirit and dominant male vocals backed up by a truly amazing beat.

Overall, this album is worth a listen for pop fans and a must- have for lovers of The Chainsmokers.
