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.

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.

This album did exactly what she set out to do — challenge what a genre is and what it should be. It shows that Beyoncé is more than just a pop star — she is a true visionary. She did not say that country should start over or be something completely new, but rather that its depth and history should not be forgotten during an era of change.

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.

There are definitely some noteworthy and deserving winners of the awards, but in general, I believe the biggest categories are given to the biggest stars. In other words, commercial success is prioritized over musical talent.

Andrew Hozier’s song “Take me to Church,” fuses controversy and rhythm as he takes on topics including religion and gay rights. The song quickly ascended the music charts and left a mark on listeners. It was nominated this weekend for Song of the Year at the Grammy’s.
