An Album That Will Never Let a "Devotee" Down Again
A band that is not afraid to experiment with new sounds, the new wave alternative, electronica band Depeche Mode has evolved vastly with their music style. You can hear evidence of this change in this compilation album I'm going to review. For instance, the tone of “Just Can’t Get Enough” is noticeably different from “Enjoy the Silence”.

So it’s the season of Christmas. The mass media loves to erase thanksgiving, but I digress.Yes it has a sorted history, but it is still funny to see. Also there’s no money in that holiday. So I understand why they move on to Christmas so fast. Now with all this holiday cheer, comes the music we listen to every year.The same standards we have on rotation during this time good or bad, sung by everyone under the sun. The one artist who’s taking this Christmas music thing to the bank is Mariah Carey! She’s the only one who really cashed in on this holiday every year. The queen of Christmas as she’s called, who by the way just extended her run at #1 with “All I Want For Christmas Is You”at 16 Weeks on the Billboard Global 200 Chart. This season is so synonymous with her who knows if we’ll ever get a “regular” album from her again. At this point she doesn’t need to, and my question is why aren’t other singers doing the same thing?

This is my response to Chloe Rose Violet's Song promt. You are supposed to pick a song, and tell your own story through it. At least that's the interpretation I took from it. Maybe you will find your own! This is her original post if you would like to check it out.

Selena, the series, which is a series on Netflix about the remarkable but devastatingly all too short life of Selena.
