The vibes of this week’s Tunesday are aligning with the sunny, summery weather we’ve been having here in Waco. If you’re looking for some new tunes to flex as you cruise through downtown with the windows rolled down (cold beverage in hand, of course), I got you.

Welcome back, Bears! Whether you spent your spring break skiing in the snowy mountains, sprawled out on sunny, sandy shores or right here in Waco, here are some new songs to help you get back in the swing of things on campus.

Inside, the lights are off, the shelves are empty and the chairs are gone. Huaco Lounge is officially closed for good. The restaurant on Mary Ave. saw a resurgence in business due to completed road construction at the end of summer in 2024, but it hasn’t been able to stay at that rate, said owner Sebastian Reyes.

This spring, Stanton is bringing his passion to a new generation of artists. Throughout March and April, he will hold a weekly introduction to stained glass class where students will learn how to create different suncatchers — ranging from hummingbirds to chickens, dragonflies to tulips. The classes, held on Saturdays from 2-5 p.m., cost $100 per session.

The forecast for this week’s Tunesday is looking dark and brooding with a touch of forbidden love. If you enjoy Halsey, Malcolm Todd, Omar Apollo and Gigi Perez, you might want to tune in. Here are some new songs to get you through those last few days of midterms until spring break.

Another year of the Oscars has come and gone and luckily, this year’s award ceremony did not disappoint with its entertaining moments and many well-deserved wins.

We’re officially one Tunesday closer to spring break. Keep on sticking it out. In the meantime, here are some pop and indie hits from this weekend to keep you going.

While most 13-year-olds are just starting to develop their sense of self, Waco artist Will Suarez was experimenting with the inner workings of his creativity and learning how to graffiti. Now, years later, he is a multi-talented artist working with notable companies like Sendero Provisions Co. and Creative Waco.

Last weekend, music fans worldwide got strategically bombarded with new releases from some of the industry’s hottest artists. Don’t thank Beyoncé for this one — thank the Grammys and Valentine’s Day. Whether you were jamming out to love songs or heartbreak hits on Friday, here are the highlights.

“It is our humble little stand, but it is something that we’re proud of,” DiCamillo said. “It’s fun and it just gives us an opportunity to share with others, neighbors, friends and really anybody that decides to follow along the journey.”

Another week, another Tunesday. This time, I bring you a song worthy of a disco dance party, a cover of a song by the best grunge band of all time and a freestyle rap by none other than Best Rap Album winner, Doechii.

While Jazz ‘n Stanzas happens during Black History Month, it is an open space which invites these non-Black students to share their stories and cultures as well. The art forms shared include song, spoken word, poetry, dance and other talents, Williams said.

“Companion” struggled to find its identity. It’s a jack of all trades in the sense that it fits into a ton of different genres, but it truly was the master of none. It wasn’t scary enough to be horror, wasn’t funny enough for comedy, wasn’t romantic enough. Any genre you’d think of — it wasn’t enough.

The theme of this week’s Tunesday is (drumroll, please)… pining! That’s right — it’s the season of love. So, if you, too, have been struck by Cupid’s arrow like these head-over-heels artists, join the club and hit play on these recently dropped love songs.
