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.
Tate McRae has undoubtedly made waves in the pop music scene with her incredible stage presence and fun, flirty lyrics. But does her newest album, “So Close To What,” which dropped Monday, solidify her among the pop icons of her generation?

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.

Centineo does a great job also carrying the show’s humor. The same boyish charm he showed in To All the Boys I Loved Before makes him shine like a diamond in this new season.
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.
If you are looking to support locally owned black businesses this February, I highly recommend checking out King’s Wings. I’m already looking forward to my next visit, and I highly recommend checking out both their Union Hall and Union Grove locations. The food is flavorful, fresh and priced just right.

“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.

This album a great finale to work of the late Mac Miller. His experimental sounds and vulnerability within his lyrics create a safe place. Miller’s innovative taste and drive to create something different gives me hope for the future of music. After listening to the same three albums for the past six months, I’m happy to say I have a fourth one in the rotation.
“Wolf Man” successfully startled, shocked and horrified me, but at what cost? What scare factors this film showcased were balanced out with several frustrating and predictable moments which caused me to not be able to take the movie as seriously as I’d hoped.
A little bit of rap, a tish of electropop, a dash of alternative indie— this Tunesday has it all. Here are some fresh drops from Central Cee, FKA Twigs and Flipturn to get your week started right.
As the 97th Academy Awards approaches, the eagerly anticipated ceremony on March 2 will bring monumental shifts in film. From “Anora” to “The Brutalist,” this year’s lineup will surely be the first of many changes within movie creation.
The Grammys are just around the corner, and anticipation is building to see who will take home the awards this year. With an incredible lineup of songs and artists in the mix, let’s dive into my predictions for three major categories: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist.
For freshmen, these auditions could allow them to be accepted into the Baylor School of Music. This would then grant them the ability to pursue a music major, which, according to admissions and recruiting coordinator Callan Chappell, isn’t necessarily a requirement for musicians to pursue their passion at Baylor.
While the Waco Independent Film Festival hosts multiple events each year for film enthusiasts, they wanted to work with KWBU to create a space where the community of Waco could gather for the simple pleasure of enjoying a film. After the movie, everyone, no matter the background, could join in the conversation.
Much like the rest of Cain’s discography, “Perverts” isn’t exactly a casual listen. It’s not meant to be consumed while doing the dishes, walking on the treadmill or going grocery shopping. It’s one of those albums you listen to in a dark room, in silence, maybe curled up in bed. It demands undivided attention, solemnity respect.
Tunesday is up and rolling again to bring you some fresh tunes for the start of the new semester. Check out the best songs of January so far in this dynamic list featuring Bad Bunny, Ethel Cain and no — you’re not tripping — Mac Miller.

While this film might not do enough to satisfy the most dedicated Bob Dylan fans, it’s good enough for me. I’d recommend this film to anybody who’s ever even heard of Bob Dylan and his music. Even my sister who hates Bob Dylan thought it was a good movie.
